As someone who regularly choogles with people who make up pop culture-related bullshit for a living, but has not actually seen the movie, I would suggest the following:
A piece about the surging dominance of East Asia in world markets and culture, combined with the idea that kids' entertainment provides a window into the future - the stuff that little kids are watching now will shape their eventual worldviews, etc. etc. Watching Kung Fu Panda in 2008 will prepare today's young to inherit and run a world dominated by China, India, Russia, Japan, and a reunited Korea in 2028. If you need more of a cinema angle, you can integrate this with the discussion of Asian cinema being fully co-opted by Hollywood (which, IMO, happened long before this).
