CRIEnglish.com reported, “The Chinese artist who launched a sensational protest against Dreamworks’ “Kung Fu Panda” has filed a lawsuit against the Hollywood studio asking for an apology.”

“Zhao Bandi, a painter and designer who features pandas in his works, brought the suit to the Chaoyang District People’s Court in Beijing on Wednesday.”

“I want Dreamworks to explain to me why the panda Po has green eyes,” Zhao wrote on his blog. “A green eye is evil, and that’s definitely not a Chinese panda.” He also wanted an explanation as to why Po’s father is a duck instead of a panda.”
