.

Cannes has seen the presentation of another animated film today. Megastar Angelina Jolie turn up the glamour at the Carlton Hotel in the festival accompanied by co-stars Jack Black and Dusting Hoffman at the “Kung Fu Panda 2” (Dreamworks) photocall.

The film director Jennifer Yuh and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg were seen as well as a life sized puppet of a Panda, with which Black was happy to recreate some martial arts movements, while press cameras trained upon him.

Jolie, who gives her voice to a tiger helping the protagonist Panda to find his parents, said:  “I don't see this as a film that's too violent because even in the final battle, it's the inner peace and the way of kind of sending back negative energy that is actually what wins against aggression and violence and war weapons.”

Two women kicked off the festival’s official competition, British director Lynne Ramsay with her film “We Need to Talk About Kevin” (BBC Films) and the Australian writer Julia Leigh who’s makes her film debut with “Sleeping Beauty” (Screen Australia).
