Why panda tho? Wouldn't a bear, dragon or something have made more sense?

Dragon is too large.
Panda is better than bear for the chinese markets.
Jordan Morgan
Let'be honest is probably for weabo reasons, almost all current artist have a boner for things like anime, manga and japan culture but almost all of them suck at trying to adapt it to the west, specially with their terrible pseudo anime tumblr artstyles. Just try to look at the artbook of this movie and you will see.
Hudson Evans
Women like gay animals.
Leo Bailey
Why make a separate thread for this shit?
Matthew Lee
I'm assuming they wanted something cute for marketing and the red helps the puberty/periods metaphor.
It is a really weird choice for the kind of 'uncontrollable beast' they seem to be going for since red pandas can't really hurt people too bad.
Joseph Peterson
probably because its marketable and little kids would want a cute stuffed red panda they see at the Disney store or something.
Kayden Turner
Pandas are cute
Jacob Martin
puberty
period (red) and hair (fur)
Aaron Ortiz
Yeah, I think that's probably reason number 1, it's an adorable and highly marketable animal that really hasn't been used that much in animation. There's Shifu in Kung Fu Panda (not cute) and Aggretsuko (2D, not 3D) and that's about it.
Sebastian Robinson
Sells better as a plush toy.
Colton Bell
>Tfw you want to see a Spice and Wolf adaptation but know it'd go
to Netflix who'd make Holo some jigaboo with teeth and cat eyes.
Justin Hall
Its for the cute factor so kids can watch it.
Wyatt Adams
So when are you guys are going to go your local build a bear and stuff Mei full right in public?
Jaxson Fisher
the movie takes heavily from chinese culture.
Red Pandas are native to China
Joshua Wright
>Shifu
>Not cute
nah he's cute
Ryder Watson
Mei barely looks like this thing, though.
Brody Torres
Canonically, they're part of the fauna of the forest Sun Yee lived by.
In the meta, Domee thought Red Pandas are cute.
Parker Johnson
Why would she?
Landon Wilson
Why not a panda? pandas are cute.
Jaxon Rivera
There's already a Kung Fu panda
Jaxon Cooper
I think they're just mix between Red Panda and Tanuki. Even though Tanuki are Japanese & not Chinese .
