WoW pandas came from one of the artists at Blizzard, who had the nickname "panda" when he was younger. After his daughter's birth, he drew a pic of an anthro panda dad with a cub on his back. It circulated around work, and more pics were added.

As an April Fool's joke, Blizzard took those pics, made up a bit of lore to go with them, and posted that pandas were going to be the new race in Warcraft. Players loved the idea and were bummed when they realized it was just a joke.

Chen Stormstout (the panda in the secret) was added to the Warcraft games later on, about six years before Kung Fu Panda came out in theatres.

TL;DR, nope.

Funny how this statement is almost opposite today. At least in the most vocal parts of the WoW fanbase...

As often happens, the people who either a) have no problem with it or b) are actually ENJOYING themselves ... have better tings to do than shadowbox with idjits, and so tend to keep their mouths shut.
