Here’s why Kung Fu Panda is amazing. You have a franchise everyone can connect with that deals with serious topics like identity, family, and trust, but with bright colorful lovable characters.
I'm a full grown woman and I saw it in the theater opening week & i rewatch the 1st Kung Fu Panda regularly, to treat my inner child. It's so perfect 💜
Being fully grown in 2024 isn't the same as that past generations. For example, video games aren't just for "nerds" anymore and animated movies are now for adults because we grew up with them as so it's the standard.
The 3rd one would've been so much better if they kept that scrapped scene of Po's biological father's POV of Shen's attack on the village and him leading the others to the new mountain village.
Jack Black is a national treasure who should be cherished and protected. “If you can do it thrice, then something rad that rhymes with thrice happens.” 😂❤
Jack Black is the best comedian from The School Of Rock, Shark Tale, King Kong, Nacho Libre, Tropic Thunder, Gulliver's Travels, Jumanji, The Super Mario Bros to Kung Fu Panda!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow a shark then teacher explorer soldier hunter sabertooth tiger and now a giant panda bear that fights crime from evil animals and whoops a chameleon so hard she's no more.
Yeah... Especially since they both play two of gaming's *greatest* villains. Also, can we by chance see Jim Carrey sing E.G.G.M.A.N. please? If Jack Black's Bowser can be allowed to have a musical number, then why not Jim Carrey's Robotnik?
I love how much love and passion he has for playing Po and these films. It shines through so much. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is one of the best animated franchises in history
4 was good. Just not great. It's better than a lot of other animated sequels. cough 'Shrek the Third' cough cough 'Ice Age 4 and 5' cough cough 'Cars 2' cough cough 'Planes: Fire and Rescue ' Sorry. Allergies.
I can’t thank you enough Jack for bringing such an important character into my life. My son has autism, and was going through a rough period of dealing with bullies and feeling like such an outsider. I had the inspiration to tell him “Po didn’t fit in either, until he figured out what made him so special. And he saved king fun just by being himself. And now he’s the Dragon Warrior.” So after some time and self reflection, I can look at my son at any moment and go “Who are you?” And he always looks at me and answers “The Dragon Warrior” every single time. So thank you, for showing my baby that he’s the Dragon Warrior❤
Jack Black has ruled my childhood for years when I was only just a kid that loved watching films that he was always In from action adventures like King Kong, up to comedies like Nacho Libre, and as well as my all-time favorite Dreamworks animated franchises In Kung Fu Panda. I can't wait to see KFP 4 this weekend on Saturday!🥳 🐼
Bro, Po taught me the most important lesson of my life. If you can be one with and love yourself, you don't need to feel lonely for anyone else. Just be happy with who you are. Your awesome self
As much as I love this franchise I feel the 4th movie wasn't needed. Po is still young to already be retiring as an action hero to a mere teacher and already passing the Dragon Warrior title. Why does Awkwafina keep getting voice work? The Chameleon was told she couldn't do Kung fu because she was short, Shifu and Mantis: "Good story bro." Jack: "Kung fu Panda 4 has one of the best casts in cinema history" The cast of the very first movie: Him, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, James Hong, Ian McShane and Michael Clark Duncan.
He’s a real life character that’s why he is so likable. I love Po first because it was played by Jack Black now I love the movies. Never change you are truly one of a kind nothing but love and good wishes for you. ❤❤❤ God Bless.
I can’t believe Hans Zimmer worked on these movies. It’s amazing that a living legend like him got to work his magic on the scores for these charming films. Wouldn’t change it!
4:08 😮 I’m so glad I clicked on this video because wow the way that unlocked a memory of me going to the cinema to watch Nacho Libre haven’t seen that film since 😭 but I recall really enjoying it.
@@timohlsson3099 King Kong really showed his acting range like he didn’t play a funny guy it was much more of a serious role like anytime someone said he can’t act I just look at King Kong it really showed his acting range.
I own the entire jack black 3 dvd movie collection witch includes nacho libry school of rock and Orange County I really thoughtku fu panda would show up in that collection
I'm getting an uncle Iroh thumbnail in the recommendations feed while watching this, and now I think *Jack Black would make an awesome uncle Iroh*. Even if he's not asian, they look very much alike!
I've heard people saying that Kung Fu Panda 4 isn't good but Jack Black himself said it's his favourite one. It can't be bad if he likes it more then the first three. Edit: Just to clarify I haven’t seen the movie yet
Personally, I think the way I see it, it was his favorite to work on but maybe not necessarily one he's even seen yet (not saying he hasn't, but more in the context of this interview it makes sense that he enjoyed working on it the most). The final product definitely fell HARD from the the trilogy in storytelling, pacing, and even character development, where it basically reverted a bunch of Po's previous developments for no reason. You can obviously still enjoy watching the movie for the joy of seeing Po on the big screen as well, but the drop off in quality was night and day.
This one is definitely the worst of the Kung-Fu Panda movies so far. I don't think Mike Mitchell was a good choice to direct this movie. The movie is enjoyable at times but most of it was just really middle of the road, nothing really special about it.
I love the 4th one. It lacked some exposition for the chameleon but otherwise it learned from the mistakes made in the 3rd one, especially with the humor.
Jack Black: Po's a lot closer to who I really am. Me: I knew it! Big ol' teddy bear confirmed! Seriously though, mad respect, dude. First time I ever saw him was in the movie "School of Rock" and had been a big fan ever since.
Not gonna lie i’m a bit disappointed. i adore jack black, i think the man is contagious just with his voice and personality not to mention his ability to act. but i gotta say kung fu panda has so much depth in it, it’s seem like he doesn’t know about it, or at least cannot talk about it. i mean like the fact that the whole series is a transition of po from a nobody to a master in which every movie preset a different stage or that every little plot twist was foreseen by oogway, i think a breakdown should at least acknowledge that little info. And i swear i can go on and on about this movie. it’s such a masterpiece, and i do love jack black, i just wanted to hear him say those things from his perspective.
I personally see Kung fu panda as a trilogy, im sorry but kung fu panda 4 felt more of a side thing than a 4th movie, when I think of kung fu panda, I don't think of Kung fu panda 4, it was also extremely lacking in story/overall writing and they sidelined both Po and the Furious Five for awkwafina and it had way too much comedy even for a kung fu panda movie.
Nah 4th had zero emotion straight up like mid comedy and then we had a cringe final boss that wasn’t able to do shot unless it took forms of one specific martial artist but how did the chameleon take pos appearance without his Chi?
2:47 The first one was not only successful and one of dream works best films, but it produced a sequel that proved the series isn't a fluke 3:40 schdoose people started saying that all time, nacho libre that was another great film, eagle powers 6:20 people are saying the fourth one isn't the best one but I'll take it, it's gotten me to rewatch the movies, viola davis makes a good villain 6:33 I just watched the first one again, yeah Tai Lung was virtually unbeatable, it was a miracle po did beat him, I think that's largely what made the first movie so good, it was this build up of this unlikely hero against impossible odds, but somehow still pulling through and succeeding. By the fourth one he's a veteran of kung fu, he's sort of like the kung fu master from the beginning sequence of the kung fu legend, he's wearing the same garb, his skills have gone up to almost that level
Here’s why Kung Fu Panda is amazing. You have a franchise everyone can connect with that deals with serious topics like identity, family, and trust, but with bright colorful lovable characters.
Yep you've hit it on the nail there, although you can't not mention the incredible action and amazing villains
I'm a full grown woman and I saw it in the theater opening week & i rewatch the 1st Kung Fu Panda regularly, to treat my inner child. It's so perfect 💜
Saaaame!!
Me too!!
You are not alone, as a man I love watching kung fu panda 1 regularly
Being fully grown in 2024 isn't the same as that past generations. For example, video games aren't just for "nerds" anymore and animated movies are now for adults because we grew up with them as so it's the standard.
My boyfriend and I binged the first 3 movies, then went on a Kung Fu Panda 4 date night and it was so much fun
The 3rd one would've been so much better if they kept that scrapped scene of Po's biological father's POV of Shen's attack on the village and him leading the others to the new mountain village.
Yes 100%
Yes.
Oh man that wouldve been awesome
Reminds me of the deleted scene in incredibles 2 of the funeral of superheroes
Can you find that deleted scene on UA-cam?
So true
Jack Black is a national treasure who should be cherished and protected.
“If you can do it thrice, then something rad that rhymes with thrice happens.” 😂❤
Sir Jack exudes rad and its because he's something cool that rhymes with rad.
😅😆
oh dear my fingers need to breath and voice needs to type.
🤪🤣🫲
Jack Black is the best comedian from The School Of Rock, Shark Tale, King Kong, Nacho Libre, Tropic Thunder, Gulliver's Travels, Jumanji, The Super Mario Bros to Kung Fu Panda!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Gulliver’s travels is still a great movie haven’t seen it in years
yeah , he didn't just took those roles, he made those roles really amazing and unforgettable
Isn't he the only comedian from that specific list of films?
And Goosebumps along with ice age 1
Wow a shark then teacher explorer soldier hunter sabertooth tiger and now a giant panda bear that fights crime from evil animals and whoops a chameleon so hard she's no more.
Jack Black fits the role so much even his beard looks like a panda 😂
Jack Black is just as Iconic as Jim Carrey.
Yeah... Especially since they both play two of gaming's *greatest* villains.
Also, can we by chance see Jim Carrey sing E.G.G.M.A.N. please? If Jack Black's Bowser can be allowed to have a musical number, then why not Jim Carrey's Robotnik?
True
I love how much love and passion he has for playing Po and these films. It shines through so much. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is one of the best animated franchises in history
Not anymore because of the 4th one.
@@dylanrinker6831let's just pretend that one doesn't exist ;)
4 was good. Just not great. It's better than a lot of other animated sequels.
cough 'Shrek the Third' cough
cough 'Ice Age 4 and 5' cough
cough 'Cars 2' cough
cough 'Planes: Fire and Rescue '
Sorry. Allergies.
I can’t thank you enough Jack for bringing such an important character into my life. My son has autism, and was going through a rough period of dealing with bullies and feeling like such an outsider. I had the inspiration to tell him “Po didn’t fit in either, until he figured out what made him so special. And he saved king fun just by being himself. And now he’s the Dragon Warrior.”

🐼
it was kinda mid
I thought this said ruined your childhood for a second 😂
Bro, Po taught me the most important lesson of my life. If you can be one with and love yourself, you don't need to feel lonely for anyone else. Just be happy with who you are. Your awesome self
8:17 Love that Hans Zimmer is the composer!!
He's always a win
Might be a hot take, but I prefer him to John Williams
Jack black is an awesome dude this new kung fu panda is great I can’t wait for the next movies
Saw kung fu panda one in theaters when i was in kindergarten. Now I'm 20 years old
You going to watch the 4th one??
I'll check it out I think
I’m turning 20 in July like it feels so long ago when I first saw the trailer for the first film.
As much as I love this franchise I feel the 4th movie wasn't needed.
Po is still young to already be retiring as an action hero to a mere teacher and already passing the Dragon Warrior title.
Why does Awkwafina keep getting voice work?
The Chameleon was told she couldn't do Kung fu because she was short, Shifu and Mantis: "Good story bro."
Jack: "Kung fu Panda 4 has one of the best casts in cinema history" The cast of the very first movie: Him, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, James Hong, Ian McShane and Michael Clark Duncan.
Surprised there aren't more people bringing up this fact
Hmm...
personally favorite to least:
2
1
3
4
It was clear a lot of people noticed the story was lacking and had a few plot holes.
Yep. This is the only correct ranking for KFP.
Agree pretty accurate
it’s okay. We all agree
Yup same
Jack black is literally human po😂
Greatest and most wholesome man known to mankind?
I personally love Kung Fu Panda 2 the best out of the first three. Seeing the 4th one on Tuesday
KFP4 had probably the most lacking story but I still enjoyed it!
literally did not get invested at all
They definitely paid him to say the 4th one was his favourite
He’s a real life character that’s why he is so likable. I love Po first because it was played by Jack Black now I love the movies. Never change you are truly one of a kind nothing but love and good wishes for you. ❤❤❤ God Bless.
I can’t believe Hans Zimmer worked on these movies. It’s amazing that a living legend like him got to work his magic on the scores for these charming films. Wouldn’t change it!
Has anyone wondered one thing? If the chameleon has everyone’s power, then why didn’t she use Kai’s power to steal chi?
Pride
That’s not what she’s after ig
My ranking is 2,3,1,4 with the fact that I like and enjoy all of these movies and will watch any of them
Dude, 3 Is not good
@@bauloprete3905 that’s alright if you don’t like it. I do though
Yeah I think three is cool
Jack black as Po truly 100% suits the character.
4:08 😮 I’m so glad I clicked on this video because wow the way that unlocked a memory of me going to the cinema to watch Nacho Libre haven’t seen that film since 😭 but I recall really enjoying it.
If you’ve seen Jumanji, you know this man can act.
And the episode of icarly when they went to webcon . He has a nice singing voice
If you seen any of his movies you know he can act.
When thinking about jack black and acting then jumanji should not be your first answer
@@timohlsson3099 King Kong really showed his acting range like he didn’t play a funny guy it was much more of a serious role like anytime someone said he can’t act I just look at King Kong it really showed his acting range.
@@jackmarshall3255 agreed. He is also really good in Bernie and High Fidelity.
5:33 I wonder how much they paid him to say that.
And like, everything afterwards
Everyone knew that po is Jack black in animal animation form! lol 😂
I own the entire jack black 3 dvd movie collection witch includes nacho libry school of rock and Orange County I really thoughtku fu panda would show up in that collection
Jack black is the definition of be yourself
His voice is the same as the kungfu panda😮😮
I'm getting an uncle Iroh thumbnail in the recommendations feed while watching this, and now I think *Jack Black would make an awesome uncle Iroh*. Even if he's not asian, they look very much alike!
I've heard people saying that Kung Fu Panda 4 isn't good but Jack Black himself said it's his favourite one. It can't be bad if he likes it more then the first three.
Edit: Just to clarify I haven’t seen the movie yet
Well you see…
hmmmmmmm
lmao
its the weakest. you can tell the pacing is worse by far, plus alot of the jokes are ehh. 1 2 and 3 all had a reason, 4 kinda just popped up
Personally, I think the way I see it, it was his favorite to work on but maybe not necessarily one he's even seen yet (not saying he hasn't, but more in the context of this interview it makes sense that he enjoyed working on it the most).
The final product definitely fell HARD from the the trilogy in storytelling, pacing, and even character development, where it basically reverted a bunch of Po's previous developments for no reason.

Love the Kung Fu Panda movies, watched them with my granddaughters! Thank you Mr. Black
Kung Fu Panda 1 was awesome, 2 was awesome, 3 was awesome and 4: Uh...
DONT YOU KNOOOOOWWWWWWW I STILL BELIEVE.
1,2,3 was good. 4 was ok
this man carried our childhoods on his back
The world never fails to amaze me with movies
Jack Black, you are lying there is no way this one was your favorite get real bro
He's just promoting the movie
It is his opinion
@@Tyler-dh6qx 💯💯 yeah
I liked it and the lessons of the movie
This one is definitely the worst of the Kung-Fu Panda movies so far. I don't think Mike Mitchell was a good choice to direct this movie. The movie is enjoyable at times but most of it was just really middle of the road, nothing really special about it.
This man is my childhood
He can’t brush over 2 like that
That's what I sound like too when I lie.
he is looking like dennis ritchie , mother of all programmng language
0:58 I’ll tell ya’all how: I’m fzckin’ Jack black🫦
I love the 4th one. It lacked some exposition for the chameleon but otherwise it learned from the mistakes made in the 3rd one, especially with the humor.
shouldve been a tai lung redemption arc and the moment he became the dragon warrior
Your a diamond in the rough , a brilliant ball of clay, you can be a work of art , if you just go all the way.
OK Jack black I have five questions
One is about Po
the other is about the voice
I really like this movie series! Thank you Jack!
Jack Black: Po's a lot closer to who I really am.
Me: I knew it! Big ol' teddy bear confirmed!
Seriously though, mad respect, dude. First time I ever saw him was in the movie "School of Rock" and had been a big fan ever since.
Wow that's great to hear from you
Not gonna lie i’m a bit disappointed.
i adore jack black, i think the man is contagious just with his voice and personality not to mention his ability to act.
but i gotta say kung fu panda has so much depth in it, it’s seem like he doesn’t know about it, or at least cannot talk about it.
i mean like the fact that the whole series is a transition of po from a nobody to a master in which every movie preset a different stage or that every little plot twist was foreseen by oogway, i think a breakdown should at least acknowledge that little info.
And i swear i can go on and on about this movie. it’s such a masterpiece, and i do love jack black, i just wanted to hear him say those things from his perspective.
What’s up with pronunciation? - 10:04 “Wouwiolr”
Is Kung fu panda 5 going to come
It’s a fun film. I enjoyed it. However , it kind of has the same plot as Cars 3
all kung fu panda movies are better animated then any disney shows or movies
first movie was imo
I would watch KPF 4 since I watched it when I was little
Hans Zimmer is truly the GOAT
jack black makes everything better 😂
Love and honor always!!
Ok can tenacious d do crazy train now? I'll take anything but now that's in my head ❤
Love how he encourages the kids not to meet him, so they can keep their imagination and creative minds in the panda! 😂
I love this man
I personally see Kung fu panda as a trilogy, im sorry but kung fu panda 4 felt more of a side thing than a 4th movie, when I think of kung fu panda, I don't think of Kung fu panda 4, it was also extremely lacking in story/overall writing and they sidelined both Po and the Furious Five for awkwafina and it had way too much comedy even for a kung fu panda movie.
Imo KFP4 is the weakest of the 4 movies
Oh yes! Hit me baby was a great choice!
I like how his beard is striped
8:30 Ozzy Osbourne KKKKK
Do yourself a favour and close your eyes while you listen 😄
Little Girl: No that’s a man 🥺
Close your eyes and imagine po speaking
There making super Mario Bros movie 2 and I hope Bowser returns Jack Black is the goat
Where’s everyone watching it
Cinema
Which streaming service is that
Nah 4th had zero emotion straight up like mid comedy and then we had a cringe final boss that wasn’t able to do shot unless it took forms of one specific martial artist but how did the chameleon take pos appearance without his Chi?
hes kung fu panda
2:47 The first one was not only successful and one of dream works best films, but it produced a sequel that proved the series isn't a fluke
3:40 schdoose people started saying that all time, nacho libre that was another great film, eagle powers
6:20 people are saying the fourth one isn't the best one but I'll take it, it's gotten me to rewatch the movies, viola davis makes a good villain
6:33 I just watched the first one again, yeah Tai Lung was virtually unbeatable, it was a miracle po did beat him, I think that's largely what made the first movie so good, it was this build up of this unlikely hero against impossible odds, but somehow still pulling through and succeeding. By the fourth one he's a veteran of kung fu, he's sort of like the kung fu master from the beginning sequence of the kung fu legend, he's wearing the same garb, his skills have gone up to almost that level
Kung Fu Panda 4 defiantly nailed it with the Perfect Cell villain.
Is it me, or has David Spade been saying skadoosh for 25 years or more?
Wait he voiced bowser
Watch it with the spoilers jack!
Let’s not forget envy
Dude bailed on his UA-cam channel like most actors when the pandemic was over.
8:34 fire him. Fire mike mitchel for being so stupid and ruining the franchise
A 100
Sounds like majin buu
Who gonna play Bowsette tho?
Who's ready to see Kung Fu Panda 5 ?
recent movie was trash, although I like the serise
❤❤❤
I love you Jack, I do...
4 sucked, and three was meh.
Dang jack black has aged
♥️♥️♥️
OK
What Jack Black mean about break down the "Kung Fu Panda" movies, that he will be retired?
when did he said that
I talk about the name of the video.
Jb❤
I was fan of him until I seen king fu panda 4.!!!! Shame one you for tryna mess with lil kids minds. That’s fukin sick
