LOS ANGELES -- There is a scene early in the children's animated film "GG Bond: Lollipop in Fantasy" where the villain, a panda, wipes off her makeup and says, "This is smoky eye! I'm a polar bear!"
The scene is played for laughs, but it was added for a serious reason. According to people familiar with the production, the studio was worried that authorities in Beijing would take issue with a panda -- a symbol of China -- being portrayed as a villain.
