Just imagine what kind of hard-drive they had. It must have taken up two whole rooms!

pardon me for asking sir, but do you think a kung fu panda would survive in the interstellar vacuum?

Imagine how long it would've taken to make Kung Fu Panda in 1977 using lines to form basic shapes and coloring them individually. It would've sucked!
