Charlie Kaufman Rewrote Kung Fu Panda 2

What's Charlie Kaufman been up to since writing and directing Synechdoche, New York? Oh, just putting a polish on some of the biggest animated franchises in town. THR brings word that the venerated screenwriter spent two weeks punching up Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, while a Slashfilm commenter in the know says Kaufman pulled the same duty on Shrek Forever After. Should either of the movies existentially fold in on themselves, I guess we'll know for sure. [THR via Slashfilm]
