Thanks for making the reaction so long! Can tell you spent a while on this 😊
PLEASE REACT TO "BALTO"
PLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE
Plllleeeeaaaasssseee
Please
It's one of my favourite movies
PLEASE DO A REACTION TO *HORTON HEARS A WHO!!!!!!!*
Please do a reaction to Shrek! I really think you’ll like that after seeing your reaction to this one 😊
Can’t wait!
It’s so sad that when Tai Lung sees his reflection he says it’s nothing. Views himself as nothing unless he’s the dragon warrior.
I never thought about that! Wonderful interpretation!
That’s deep
I would bet on him being able to defeat Po had he not been focused on the scroll and when he did get the scroll when defeating Po he then lost.
@@nukebomz7498 exactly
@@nukebomz7498 It's like Zuko losing his bending when he turned good in Avatar: TLA. They both strived when they were obsessed with goals that would "make them better". When they stopped going for it, both of them lost their touch so to say.
Only difference being, Zuko turns good and Tai Lung dies staying evil.
The creators implemented a very thought-out color scheme/code to this movie. Gold for heroism, green for wisdom, blue for tragedy, red for power, and brown for humility and hard work. It’s used practically FLAWLESSLY when you look at things like characters’ eye colors (Shifu’s inner sorrow, Tai Lung being the hero of his own story) and clothing (Po doesn’t know WHO he is, hence his patchwork pants!) It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on the colors all throughout the trilogy!! 💕
Wow. I've never heard that before. Good insight. Thanks for sharin
Definitely will look for that! Thanks for pointing it out.
Seriously, fun plot aside, this is such a beautiful well made movie. You could do a whole essay analyzing the use and symbolism of different colors and themes. Could use this movie to teach a class about these things in film and theater. Not to mention the musical score is also its own subject
Those are my favorite types of films. The ones that have a lot of subtlety to their visual storytelling, but not too far fetched that it would be unnecessary. This is why I love Edgar Wright

It's one of my favourite movies
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why they call it the present."
That is one of my favorite quotes that I learned from this film.
“One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it.”- Oogway
If Shifu never sent the messenger, Tai Lung wouldn’t have gotten the feather needed to escape
This quote actually applies to a lot of stuff throughout the trilogy
And throughout history as well.
The exact same problem applies to Shen in kung fu panda 2, and to po in kung fu panda 3. It's definitely a common theme.
Oh gosh! Never made the connection 😱
It also applies during the escape. By trying to stop Tai Lung's escape they just freed him faster.
Oogway could have not told Shifu and Tai Lung and all of it would have been avoided XD
Someone in the internet pointed this out:
When they open the scroll and saw their reflection, Po and Shifu said "it's blank" but when Tai Lung saw his reflection he said "it's nothing".
Almost everyone makes this realization, and it's been years since the movie came out and I still feel so happy when Po accepts himself finally.
Ok, I’ve seen this movie hundreds of times. How did I never catch that?!
like father like son
Yep, Tai Lung’s nerve attack doesn’t work on Po! It’s like Mantis said: “It’s not easy finding the right nerve points under all this fa- *ahem* fur.” 😁
What I found interesting is that compared to Oogway's version, when he used it against Tai Lung had yellow effects, when Tai Lung done it, it was blue. I'm split between the symbolism it represents and the possible connection that links this to the 3rd movie.
@@nukebomz7498 im guessing its chi since it fully knocks tai lung out instead of paralyzing his body
@@infinitnrg1088 It's like a negative chi that keeps the person stuck in constant pain over peaceful rest. Wait did Tai Lung invent a new use of spiritual energy that captures the darkness in the ying and yang (little good in evil, little evil in good) symbol.
I hope that get's reused at some point, I mean I just love Tai Lung and it'd be cool to see him return and with something new to bring to the table.
But also, if you look it up, it's scientifically proven that when a panda falls or gets hit, they don't feel pain due to the fat on them.
Many people say their favourite characters are Po, Shifu and Tigress, but mine is Viper. She was the only one who did not laugh at Po. (Her backstory in the Secrets of the Furious Five is awesome as well)
Yeah, even in the series she's like a big sis or a mom
Agreed. It's also kind of sad, she seems really kind.
And oogway too
18:46 You can hear her laughing when Monkey make the joke about Po not being able to see his toes. I do love her though! She is so soft and sweet which juxtaposed Tigress’ take-no-shit, badass personality. I used to think Tigress was so unnecessarily mean but watching this years later, I totally get her frustrations. Long story short, Tigress and Viper were my favourites next to Shifu and Oogway!
Mine was always Tai Lung.
I can sum it up a bit for you about Oogway. Oogway knew that Po was the dragon warrior. He also knew that Shifu was still dwelling on the past, that is why he hesitates to teach or believe in Po. From the beginning, Oogway asked to see Shifu to test Shifu’s patience, hence why he was blowing the candles one by one. If Shifu had let Oogway blow out all the candles perhaps it meant that Shifu wasn’t impatient and he wouldn’t be the cause of Tai Lung’s escape. But because of his impatience, Oogway knew that inevitably Tai Lung will escape because of it, that is why Oogway told Shifu of his vision and said “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it,” when Shifu told the duck to go double everything in the prison. Because of Shifu, Tai Lung escaped. Oogway ascended into the afterlife to help Shifu too. Oogway knew that his time was up, and if he didn’t go Shifu would not have the courage to believe in himself again because he relies on Master Oogway for guidance and wisdom. So now that Oogway is gone, Shifu would have to believe in himself and Po, that’s why Oogway left. If you watch all three movies, it’ll make more sense. Oogway has achieved enlightenment and thus he didn’t really die, but that’s all I’ll spoil for now :)
Very excellently said!
I would also argue that if Oogway was still around it would be way too easy to defeat Tai Lung again xD
I actually really love your analysis on this, makes allot of sense, ❤️
The moment were TaiLing is looking at the scroll and you see his face reflection, "Its nothing!" breaks me every time.
The way Tay Loong escaped is the biggest flex in animated history
Absolutely! 100%! Besides Jack Jack because that baby saves everyone accidentally. 😂
Jack black was absolutely perfect for this role though
Nobody does geeking out fanboy or overzealous underachiever like Jack Black.
Fun Fact: "Oogway" is actually the Chinese word for "turtle."
Thx for the info!
I mean... kind of yeah - the chinese word for turtle is wu1gui1 (乌龟) two first tones that are pronounced like a constant singing note :)
Oogway is a tortoise not a turtle
*Master Turtle* ❤️
@@hypercat1570 Same thing. 🙂 Tortoises are giant turtles.
This trilogy is awesome. Jack Black is one of my favorite actors and he does an amazing job voicing Po. My favorite line is one of Oogway's lines: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present 🐼
Whoever wrote that line needs an Oscar, Grammy, academy award or something
Jack Black has voiced two Dreamworks characters that are both black and white. Lenny from Shark tale and Po from Kung fu panda
Yeah Jack Black Is My Favorite Voice Actor Of All Time
Also, by trying to avoid Tai Lung getting out, he sent a messenger who accidentally helped him escape. He reached his destiny on the path to avoid it
I love how the acupuncture scene earlier in the movie hinted at the fact that Tia Lung’s nerve attack wouldn’t work on Po because he wouldn’t know where his nerves are
Pause at 50:53. Look at Po's face when Tai Lung called him, "fat." 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Po was not impressed
@@cadyg2531 Do you think Tai Lung offended him?
@@Elysia63 nope! It’s like when someone calls me the b word, make sure you put baddest in front of it 💁🏾♀️ lol
pls, I'm fucking wheezing, how did I never saw his face lmao
@@DonMontoya721 Maybe for a long you and I never noticed!! 🤣
Chinese ppl have said this movie is really accurate to Chinese culture, to an extent that even Chinese filmmakers have failed to capture (reasons for that: current dictatorship & their desire to wipe Chinese culture out in exchange for boosting nationalism. As well as obvious attempts by all previously colonized or exploited lands to be more “western”.)
Anyway, this movie series means a lot to people. They did a fantastic job.
Someone made a review of Kung Fu Panda and quoted a line from a council that China made to look at foreign policy that literally said "Why didn't *we* make this movie?"
You mean boosting communism ?
@@bob1003 what.
@@mrshadow4007 i sorry i was referring the one who said they want to wipe out chinese culture
This is one of those film series and each entry becomes better and better.
-Dustin Hoffman is Master Chifu,
-Angelina Jolie is Tigris,
-Jackie Chan is Monkey,
-Seth Rogen is Mantis,
-Lucy Liu is Snake,
-David Cross is Crane,
James Hong is Po’s father who was Chifu in Mulan and has been in over 400 various film and tv shows.
Similar to Avatar they did their research for the martial arts fir this film series,
In regards to other films with Jack Black I highly recommend School of Rock!
Dustin Hoffman's character is spelt "Shifu" meaning "Master" so he's been called "Master Master"
I second School of Rock!
I never knew it but the Chifu thing makes perfect sense now 😂
James Hong is also the leader of that town in Avatar day!
@@mathies3598 That is correct. He has a very distinct voice and has been doing bit parts like that in both television and film since the 1950’s.
This is (in my opinion) the second best animated movie series I’ve ever seen (after httyd), loved it as a kid, watching them years later, the series still holds. It’s hilarious and some parts still make me tear up🥲
what's the first?
@@theawesomeman9821 (httyd) a.k.a How to train your dragon 😁
@@adenafire1365 good one
In a way, I feel bad for Tai Lung because the one who was there for him for his whole life all of a sudden just abandoned him. He wanted to be loved, to be seen by making Shifu proud but he never got it so he took his anger on the world.
Yes, I agree. Imo, Shifus mistake was preparing Tai Lung to be the Dragon Warrior instead of just training him to be a great Kung Fu Master.
Like Azula?
@@leaness98 yeah I agree
I think Tai Lung’s story is one that can resonate with many people; trying to live up to the standards and pride of your parents, but ultimately feeling as though you’ve failed if you don’t meet that particular thing/standard you’ve been striving for. It makes Tai Lung a great developed villain
They should have rephrased it as "Once you have become the greatest Kung Fu Master in all of China, Master Oogway will bestow upon you the greatest gift a warrior such as yourself could receive in this life; the Dragon Scroll! You must first prove yourself worthy of receiving it"
That way; the Scroll acts as a goal, to celebrate their greatest accomplishment rather than a broken cheat code you receive after mastering every Kung Fu technique!
IMO, the second film is superior, but all three films in this entire trilogy keep the same high quality of animation, comedy, writing, and emotion. Flawless trilogy!
Hans Zimmer is my favorite movie composer ❤ John Powell is right behind him, along with many others. Their scores are simply amazing!
Disagree. I still don't know why people think that. The first one is so deep and heartfelt.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 I never said the first one was bad, though. I just said I prefer the 2nd, that I think the 2nd is superior. Me preferring a sequel doesn't invalidate the first film.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 The second definitely darker and more emotional I don't know what you're on
@@blitzgirl6522 you said it was superior, and I tell you I believe the first one is better.
Oogway didn’t die he willingly ascended to The Spirit World he didn’t have to he just realized he had done all he could (if you watch the other installments of this franchise not just the other two movies but the shows and other films) he did so much but now he just wasn’t needed anymore
No one going to talk about the fact this man gave us almost an hour reaction from an hour and 20 minute movie. That to me is mind blowing can’t imagine how you edited this, but seriously thank you. Made the reaction that much better for me!
Can't imagine how this didn't get copyrighted honestly
I love how laughs after almost everything he says, so wholesome
This trilogy is amazing. Stellar performances, stunning cinematopraphy. It has a special place with me
Shifu is a red panda by the way.
He doesn't look much like Pabu xd
I was wondering what animal he was.
I watched this In 2008 and Master Oogway's words is still with me up to this day.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That is why it is called the Present."
Oh, Nick, you'll be blown away by the trilogy!! The second Kung Fu Panda movie is my all time favorite✨✨✨
One thing I admire in this movie, is that the writers never change Po. In all 3 movies Po always stays true to himself, no matter the hardships.
Don't apologize for your reaction. If you're super excited or underwhelmed it's still your reaction. Not everyone will react to things the same way and it shouldn't be expected of you to react how people want you to. That would be stressful and take the fun out of it. Have fun being you and doing what you like.
Why does oogway have to die? Cause he's too OP, Tai Lung wouldn't stand a chance :D
If Oogway did not leave then everyone would of stayed the same. Every character learned something in the end thanks to Oogway.
@@nukebomz7498 exactly.
My 1 1/2-year-old grandson laughs his butt off when we watch this movie, especially when Po is trying to get inside to see the Dragon Warrior selection. What is sweet about that is that I took his mom and uncle to see this when they were younger and they loved that part, too.
Lot of people like kung fu panda 2 even better! I personally like the second movie just a little more, it's more dark, i love the villian and the arc of po is great! You're gonna love it 🥰💕💖 can't wait for it, love your reactions!!
I loved when he said he thought being up there is gonna be better than living his everyday life being himself, and everybody called him fat, useless, etc, he hated himself and don't wanna be himself. But then the secret of the dragon scroll it believe in yourself and when he fought Tailung he fought by being himself, using fireworks, chopsticks, his belly, etc. And when he said i am not a big fat panda, i am THE big fat panda, it's like him owning everything he was insecure about himself. So good writing man
Po: It's blank!
Nick and Shifu: What?!
The end battle is the PERFECT mixture of seriousness, badass animation and just good AF
🎵Everybody loves Kung Fu fighting!🎵
I love how, throughout the trilogy, Tigress goes from someone dripping with hatred for Po to his closest friend and biggest supporter who’s willing to do anything to protect him.
in this movie she's clearly the most like Tai Lung, as she represents Shifu's new cold and discipline focused training methods being better at not creating monsters but still not complete
The movie really hones in on Shifu's journey as a teacher, from Tai Lung (only accepting and praising his students when they fit his mold of "ideal kung fu warrior") to the Five (accepting some amount of difference in his students' fighting styles but never praising them, being generally emotionally distant, and still bending their methods to fit his stagnant style of teaching) to Po (engaging with and fully accepting that Po is a unique individual, and bending his teaching methods creatively to fit and express acceptance towards his student's pain, what motivates him and what makes him special).
Tai Lung is a snow leopard, my favorite animal. The message was one we all need. Also, if you want to watch Jack Black in action, watch the new Jumanji movies. They are awesome and hilarious! Never get tired of seeing them 😂
The way Crane sleeps with his beak under his wing is so cute! lol
I think one of the reasons this film resonates so well with many Chinese audiences is because it honors the teachings of Daoism and other aspects of traditional Chinese culture (such as they way it represents various Martial Arts and it's symbolism). But it also does a phenomenal job resonating with many other audiences as well.
40:22 - “This is the definition of epic.”
Actual ad that I got one second later: THE BEYOND EPIC PIZZA!
😂🤣
My kids and I have watched this movie so many times it's definitely one of our family comfort movies.
I love when Po comes out of the dust with the pan and apron, to me it represents how he became the dragon warior. To me it symbolises love for food (pan) and father (apron)
I've seen some people say that they feel bad for tai lung and they feel like shifu was at fault for what happened. I get there were some things that shifu could have done right and maybe Tai lung wouldn't have done what he did but at some point Tai lung has to take responsibility. He hurt innocent people because he didn't get what he felt he deserved. I get Tai lung was angry with Shifu and that would be justified, but I can't feel bad for him because it doesn't matter how much someone hurt you. Hurting others especially people who have nothing to do with your situation, is not okay. He proved Oogway right, instead of finding a way to prove him wrong or talk to Shifu he chose a path of destruction.
It was still Shifu fault
@@rockzilla1664 I'm confused, so let's just say in the real world. You have a shifu and tai lung relationship. Tai lung goes on this killing spree because of what happened with his father. He kills and hurts innocent people. Now he gets questioned by the police and what is he gonna say? How can he justify what he did? Is he gonna say my dad disappointed me, are they gonna blame the father for what Tai lung chose to do on his own? Trust me when I say there were plenty of times I was mad at my parents, my dad is barely in my life and doesn't really want to be much of a parent to me, but I would never hurt anyone because of our relationship and what I was mad about because I felt like he did something wrong to me. Shifu could have done better, I'm not saying that he did nothing wrong but what Tai lung did as a result wasn't Shifu's fault at a certain point in time you make your own decisions and no matter what people do to you, you can choose how you respond and Tai lung chose to respond with violence and not just towards his father but innocent men, women, and children because he was let down. I'm not trying to undermine his feelings but he made his bed when he responded the way he did so I can't feel bad for him after that.
@@moonchildyoushine2486 image training Your whole life for this one goal and after
Years of training hard you don’t get the goal and worse you’re father figure who wanted you to achieve the goal do Absolutely nothing No support so basically that training was a waste of time so I understand why tai lung was mad I know him attacking innocent people was wrong but you can see if shifu at least done something right this would never happend
@@rockzilla1664 I understand what Shifu did and I understand the problem but what I was trying to convey is that Tai lung did what was expected of him. Sure Shifu could have had his back but I'm not talking about that I'm talking about what Tai lung did to those people I can't feel bad for him because it's never okay to hurt people just because you were hurt. That is my point, and that is my opinion. I'm just expressing how I didn't think Shifu was at fault because of how Tai lung reacted because at the end of the day his reason doesn't fly when you are trying to tell someone that you hurt them(someone you don't know who has done nothing to you) and their family because your dad disappointed you. That, what he did after he was denied was not Shifu's fault. He wanted the Dragon Scroll and Oogway denied him. Shifu could have comforted him and told him that he was proud of him but that darkness was still there. You don't escalate to hurting children if you don't already have that serious darkness in you anyway. So maybe he wouldn't have done what he did but I don't think that Shifu responding better than he did would have kept Tai lung at bay Tai lung would have still felt like he was owed the dragon scroll and he probably would have tried to convince Shifu to tell Oogway to give it to him. He would have still been denied. He probably would have been more sorry if his relationship with Shifu was better but at the end of the day I think he still would have done something horrible, but hey that's just my opinion and I'm not trying to get you to take my side I just don't feel the way you and others do.
@@moonchildyoushine2486 ok then
54:55 my man legit said "Fast 5"🤣
Dominic Toretto: *"There's always room for family, Nick."*
😂😂
27:08 woah what happened here. Oh Nicky you don't have to hide your tears from us
Ooh the reaction came out early! Can’t wait to see what you think because I love the Kung Fu Panda series
If you’re planning to react to all three movies, I highly recommend you react to the short movie they did on the furious five (called Secrets of the Furious Five). It goes into the backstory of each of the five and gives you a better understanding of each of them and where they came from! I think it came out after the first before the second if I’m not mistaken.
Yes, I agree!
I can also recommend the Christmas Special "Kung Fu Panda Holiday" and "Secrets of the Masters" 👍
Fun fact: The Furious Five are based on the 5 shaolin animal styles of kung fu. Tiger, Snake, Mantis, Crane, and Monkey.
Another cool fact: The animators went to China and studied kung fu and tai chi to incorporate the movements into the characters.
46:00-47:35 one of the Most emotional scenes of all time; if you get the chance look for multi language or different dubs of that scene.
And personally Latin Spanish made an amazing job at reflecting the rage, pain and sadness of Tai Lung.
If you want to see a movie that Jack Black is actually good in, you need to watch "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle." Seeing the original "Jumanji" with Robin Williams beforehand is optional, but not necessary at all.
I would say, you should see the first movie with Robin williams. There are references in the remakes, you propably won't understand.
You gotta love the entire cast in this movie. The entire cast and crew did an amazing job with this movie.
I can't wait until you watch the second one, it certainly holds up in my opinion! I also love how you don't treat these animated films like 'silly children films', and you seem to genuinely enjoy watching them.
I love the vase breaking lmao ‘woooo’ every time it’s bumped lmao
Dreamworks Really took a different step with this! Because when you think about Spirit and now Kung Fu Panda - TOP NOTCH TRANSFORMATION!!! The animation is Too Beautiful to be ignored. Hilarious reactions Nick! 🤣👍 can’t wait for two and three. Also I just wanna say that I just started watching you react to Avatar and let me just say that I’m once again HYPED to see a new fan watching one of the Greatest shows Nickelodeon has Created. I do feel bad for watching it so late now, but at the same time I can binge it all for as long as I want I love your selflessness and giddiness 😂 I’m still on season 1 and now on episode 16. Can’t wait to watch more! Enjoy your vacation! 😁💖💝
One of my favorite franchises!
You just feel your inner power with these movies 🙏
I can’t wait for you to watch the second movie in the trilogy, because you get to find out about Po’s past. The scene that flashbacks to his past (specifically his parents) is beautifully animated and makes me cry every time I see it. I think you’ll love it!
Agree!!!
I love the little smile you always have in the beginning
30:20 Bad timing. Just as he said he loved him, it was Oogway turn to die.
Yay! This is one of my favorite animation trilogies of all time, and this one in particular is special to me.
I'm glad you're watching these movies and I can't wait for you to watch the rest of them; you're in for a treat!
Edit: YEAH! 10/10 I'm glad you loved it!
If you want to react to something with Jack Black, School of Rock is an absolute classic!
yes!
Don’t forget Shark Tale.
This is one of my favorite movies, I watched it so much as a kid and I still do. I love all the characters and I loved your reaction!
ALMOST ONE HOUR?!?
Sign me up!
Wanted to include a lot in this one, hopefully it’s not too long haha.
@@nickflix8657 Its perfect, your Vids is the only thing I watch every day!
@@nickflix8657 I was EXCITED to see it‘s longer than usual! Loved it!! 🤗❤️
Master Shifu and Po have such an amazing dynamic. Po being the overly confident pupil and Shifu being the extremely strict but well meaning teacher. Sure, he was trying to get rid of Po but that was only due to the looming threat of Tai Lung and the need of a proper Dragon Warrior. And when Oogway chose some random Joe who just so happened to land in the arena that had no talent for kung fu it no doubt instilled fear in him knowing just how dangerous Tai Lung was. But after their little heart to heart and actual training their bond as student and teacher strengthened, instilling Shifu with more confidence in Po. At the end of the day his treatment towards Po in the beginning, while cruel, wasn't unfounded and had reasoning. But after both realized they may have messed up and started seeing eye to eye, only then could he help Po unlock his true potential. A student must trust his master and vice versa.
PO: keeps bouncing and falling
Nick: Oh WOWWWWW how beautiful
43:03 you and Shifu both said "What?" at a perfect time XDDD
The fact that Tai Lung is a snow leopard and a villain is basically him being a normal wild animal (possibly more like one threatened or protective(I’m not an expert) since they aren’t normally domesticated. And funny that he is everything except what his name means. Tai Lung translates to “great dragon” and it’s the one thing he’s not.
Cool
Not gonna lie, i've been waiting a _while_ for this reaction. So happy you're doing this series!
Can we talk about how cute tai lung and tigress's ears are? They are so tiny and adorable
*There is no secret ingredient.* Never gets old. The Dragon Scroll is reflective. When you look at it in the hope that it will give you strength, skill and power you simply see yourself. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy: to become the Dragon Warrior you have to be chosen, then trained to be the best and once you have become the best you are given the Scroll which will "help you achieve your destiny". But if you're judged to be great enough to become the Dragon Warrior and worthy of the Dragon Scroll then you're already the best of the best and don't need more power. *You* are the secret ingredient.
This is one of my favorite movies, when I was around 11 my little cousin was about 4 and she was obsessed with this movie, we’re so close she’s really my little sister, on Fridays I would tell her finish her homework first and when it’s all finished we can make popcorn and watch Kung fu panda for the 1000th time 😂🤣 she would yell yayyyy and run to her room and finish her homework so quickly lol I know this movie word for word
Just like “Mulan” movie. Another great Chinese stories
The Kung Fu Panda trilogy is one of my favorite franchises too. I loved the score, the animation, and the fun characters. Those characters really stand out. However, I would say that I especially loved the messages about there not being accidents, and how we must be willing to endure difficulties that may come along the way in each of our lives. Anyway, I’d say 9.5, or 10/10 as well. Anyway, great review once again, and thanks for reviewing this film!
Nick: This is emotional!
Me: Wait till the sequels.~
While I've enjoyed much of DreamWorks' animated output when it was released, very little of it has held up for me upon revisiting. Kung-Fu Panda is the one full DW series that has been truly and consistently amazing to me no matter how many times I see them.
You should do the 2nd and 3rd they tied up Po's story with a bow.
PLEASE do not every apologize for awing or just being lost in a movie; it is adorable and refreshing and genuine! I've been watching a handful of your reactions and you are simply endearing and one of my favorite RUclipsrs now! Can't wait to see what you do and I am SO glad you're reacting to so many wonderful animated movies! Keep up the great work buddy!
Oogway knew Tai Lun g would never be able to accept that being the Dragon Warrior is nothing special, that's why he refused to give him the scroll. It's a shame really, if only Shifu could have seen what his pride was twisting his son into.
I knew it you'd love this movie, there's nothing about it that wouldn't get you hooked. Since you love dreamswork sequel then I can assure you that after Shrek 2, Kung Fu panda 2 is the best sequel dreamswork ever made.
Kung Fu Panda is one of those movies that came out of nowhere. Nobody expected to be as good as it is. My favorite thing about it is how respectful it is to the art of Kung fu. Also James Hong (Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China) is great as Po’s father.
Kung fu panda is on of the greatest cartoons ever made for kids. I'm willing to go to war for this opinion
I really enjoy see nick watching cartoons.... he really looks like a big kid, and honestly is very cute...
So glad this movie will never be forgotten unlike other underrated movies such as Over the Hedge, Epic, Home and a couple others. Feel really bad for those underrated movies cause they were all really good in my opinion and they don't get enough attention.
Home is such a cute movie
Yo, you don't need to apologize at all fir being wowed by these films. Its so endearing and one of the main reasons I love watching you. Never stop being you, and never apologize for being wholesome and innocently joyful. In the least creepy way possible, ily dude. You really are a gem 🤗
DreamWorks always planned to make 6 Kung Fu Panda movies. (Look it up if you didn’t know that.) This is what will probably happen in Kung Fu Panda 4, 5, and 6.
In Kung Fu Panda, it shows Shifu’s backstory. In Kung Fu Panda 2, it shows Po’s backstory. In Kung Fu Panda 3, it shows Oogway’s backstory. In Kung Fu Panda 4, it will show Tigress’s backstory.
In Kung Fu Panda, the villain had the power of body. In Kung Fu Panda 2, the villain had the power of mind. In Kung Fu Panda 3, the villain had the power of soul. In Kung Fu Panda 4, the villain will have the power of words.
The villain will have a talk with Tigress to mess with her brain. But it doesn’t work at first. Tigress will change near the end of the movie. Then, there will be another new villain in Kung Fu Panda 5. The new power in Kung Fu Panda 5 will be elements. The villain will teach Tigress the power of elements and it will end in a cliffhanger after Po defeats the villain after Po learns elements and uses it on the villain. (Everyone knows that Tigress hates Po because she wanted to be the Dragon Warrior. Who else became a villain after not being chosen as the Dragon Warrior? Tai Lung did.) Tigress will be the villain of Kung Fu Panda 6 and technically a villain of Kung Fu Panda 5. Tigress will learn the power of dark matter because since Po is good, it’s the one thing he cannot learn. Tigress will have every power Po has and even one he does not have.
Kung Fu Panda was kinda sad but happy and a little immature. Kung Fu Panda 2 was very sad, dark, and mature. Kung Fu Panda 3 was a little sad and the mix between mature and immature. Kung Fu Panda 4 will be a little dark and very mature. Kung Fu Panda 5 will kinda happy and a very dark and the mix between mature and immature. Kung Fu Panda 6, who knows?.
Tai Lung is one of the greatest Antagonist I’ve ever seen
The fact that tai lung escaped within 4 minutes is amazing and he is super strong and smart. One thing that caused that was that Zheng was molting at the time so maybe it wasn’t the best idea to send a bird
If you think about it, the whole acupuncture scene had a bigger purpose than a reason for Po to drive for inspiration. They set up the fact that his nerves are hard to find. That’s why Tai Long couldn’t paralyze him like the rest, he wasn’t hitting the right points.
Thank you for letting us watch with you! It's always fun to see your reactions :))
A YT reaction guy of Chinese descent said the Chinese love this movie and that it's more authentic than a lot of the Chinese filmmakers' animated attempts. Pretty impressive for an American animated film. Great film with a little bit of everything - comedy, real stakes, character development, drama. Good stuff!
Oh man, I'm so excited to see you react to Kung Fu Panda 2! It's by far my favorite KFP sequel.
An underrated recommendation in my opinion is The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. I will really like it if you do make a response video.
Tbh that movie, the first five minutes you can’t even tell that it’s animation! So stunning
This!!! This movie is one of my favorites! And I almost always forget that it is a movieeee
The Kung fu Panda is another great trilogy after How to train your dragon. Off topic, I know it’s a bit late and I’m wondering if you’re doing to start another anime series since your done with Avatar the last air bender. I have so many I want to recommend but I don’t want you to get drowned in my recommendations if you’re not looking for it. You can always ask me if you do want to watch another anime series. But as always, thank you so much for your reactions Nick! 🥰
One Punch Man is always a good reaction series. Focuses more on the comedy than serious drama, but I know the Deep Sea King arc will get the tears flowing.
@@WisteriaDrake YES! Those are great. I think he would also enjoy “fruits basket” and “Promised neverland”. Both of them really tug on your heart strings, melt your heart, and keep you smiling with the twist and turns.
I recommend MHA
Avatar isn't an anime lol its just drawn in an anime style bc of the Korean animators. But for avatar to be anime it would have to be written by the Japanese, it's just a really good American cartoon with Asian influences.
@@poetryandpaintings oh I’m sorry, here in Japan. We would call any animation regardless of their origin, an anime. I guess it’s different in other countries. Um, would Tv shows be the right word for Avatar then?
The Wuxi finger hold is so OP, it just sends mortals to the spirit realm
Just rewatched this movie after years. Cried so much during the Tai Lung and Shifu fight. Just thinking of this father fighting his son who he promised the world to but he couldn’t give him what he promised.
What's really really interesting about Po is that his fat also serves a purpose, he can use it to repel back attacks to use them against them,he has no pressure points which is indicative of his unique physiology and he also has an insane amount of willpower which is partially why he withstood all the punishment the furious 5 gave him
I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire trilogy. This was a great start, 2 was a great follow up, and while 3 wasn't quite as good as the prior two, it was still pretty darn good.
If you watch the other two, note how each for Po faces reflects an aspect of who Po is. Tai Lung is Po without the humility. If you watch the next movie, I'll tell you what that for reflects.
The full story arc of the trilogy makes some moments from 1 and 2 much more poignant. The big moments, and even the funny ones.
Did anybody else notice the wolves in the opening scene?! I literally just noticed. I can't believe that Po was fighting wolves in his dreams even before the second movie.
