The Big Picture While Kung Fu Panda 4 ruled the box office over the weekend, it seems not all was awesome making the world of Kung Fu. In a new interview, Co-Director Stephanie Stein sat down with a Reddit moderator and fans in their Discord channel for the franchise's page and answered over 40 questions about the production.

Stein Also Claims Interference From Above Close Outside of Mitchell having “supreme authority,” as Stein puts it, she also notes the constraints from DreamWorks executives a few times in the interview, saying, The executives also dictated the runtime of the film, according to Stein. “From my understanding, the 90 minutes is because studio executives think that children can’t sit through a longer movie," she said. "Also, the more screenings you can fit in in a day, the more money you make. It’s purely a business reason.”

There were discussions about the inclusion of The Furious 5, Stein said: “A bunch of storyboard artists, concept artists, animators, and production people threw in other ideas too. However, this is first and foremost Mike Mitchell’s movie. He wanted people to laugh :) So that’s why were joke-y.” She also pushed back about one suggestion where Mantis had a wife who wanted to kill him. “I don’t think he would ever get married.
