18:52 You can see that when Tai Lung did the kick-combo and landed on his back foot, he staggered back a couple of hops. That means that he kicked SO hard that he had to compensate for it when he landed. In Kung Fu, you NEVER want to kick so hard that you land off-balance. Being off-balance gives your opponent an opening and time to attack you. But his hubris was too strong and he went 1000000% on everything, which is MUCH too far off-balance. Kung Fu is both push and pull, and Tai Lung was ALL push.
Whoa! First off: what a keen eye you have. Secondly: fantastic job of the animators to put that in! So good
You know as a kid obviously that’s not some I was worried about but as an adult this is so interesting to know he definitely was all push no defense just offense thanks for the info
@@shania991 I'm always happy to share! I'm relieved that my martial arts nerd-rants are useful, or at least entertaining. Little details can matter so much, in animation, in martial arts, and in life, and I was trained to pay attention to all those nuances. The details in someone's behavior can tell you more about the person than the person can.
Also his build compared to tigress and every other kung fu user, he's visibly more buff than all of them. He's built for power, not finesse.
@@MammalianCreature Yes! He's mostly focused on strength. He is very agile, but he gets most of his hits in through brute force and some cunning maneuvers (many of them are cheap shots) rather than speed/agility and balance/stability/rootedness, which are the other two most important parts of Kung Fu.
ah yes, the age old trope: fulfilling the prophecy by trying to avoid the prophecy
Exactly! C’mon Shifu you should know better
I think the official term for that is “self-fulfilling prophecy”.
the wuxi finger hold sent tai lung to the spirit realm btw!😭
Haha thanks
So... basically, he died
@@anneAanneLno he’s not, he got teleported to the afterlife without physically kill
he's in the Home For Infinite Losers
sooo he is dead but he did not die
One of my favorite theories about this movie is that Oogway was actually planning on making Tai Lung the Dragon Warrior, but denying him was his final test. If he had accepted it with grace, he would've proven himself worthy, but he instead succumbed to the darkness like Oogway feared.
Oh I friggin LOVE that theory!
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, that is why is called the present” I could hear this a thousand times and still get teary, so beautiful so hopeful so true.
🥹🥹🥹
rizzo always knows sm about films that “aren’t really his favorite “😭
Rizzo’s on ✨“The Spectrum”✨
@@PinkPopcast what do you MEAN most people don't IMMEDIATELY look up trivia facts about every movie they see...?
*Spectrum Things*
@@PinkPopcast Rizzo and I are twinning
@@PinkPopcastI feel seen 😭
28:15 don’t know if anyone’s pointed this out yet but as a snow leopard, tai lung would have a great sense of balance (mostly from the type of tail they have) which is why he was relaxed on the swaying bridge while tigress had to rebalance herself!!
Ooh that’s awesome
Fun fact about the floors, some historic-style homes in east asia are actually built to have loud floors on purpose in case of intruders
Interesting 🤔
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was mad Tigress got snuffed on a higher up position. She worked her whole life, only to be looked down upon constantly by the masters. She's still a strong queen to me, she's the immovable force but I think the reason she wasn't ready was because she couldn't see the whole picture. She can't flow like Po does, physically and mentally.
It seems like the animals that are raised in it tend to not have the right balance
Tigris is an unstoppable force, but so was Tai lung. The valley didn't need an unstoppable force, it needed an immovable object, which is Po.
10:54 "You've never seen Bear Style!" There's a good reason Po says this. There are Tiger, Mantis, Snake, Crane, and Monkey styles of Kung Fu, but I don't think there's a "Panda" style. There might be a newer Bear style, though, or if it's not that, Po uses the Drunken style of fighting. (I'm speaking as someone who practiced Kung Fu for 13 years. Happy Year of the Dragon, by the way! Perfect timing!)
Drunken style is fun!
Fave line - “you may wish for an apple 🍏 or an orange 🍊 but you will get a peach 🍑” - Oogway 😂
🐢🐢🐢
such wise words from a turtle until the day the rabbit beats him
“But a peach can not defeat Tai-Lung!”
@@wickedshadesproductions5254 "Maybe it can, if YOU are willing to guide it, to nurture it; to BELIEVE in it. Promise me, Shifu. Promise me you will believe." 🐢
There's a theory about how Po became the Dragon Warrior that sort of de-mystifies it, but I have to agree with the logic! You could link it to fate, destiny, or dumb luck, but I think Po wrote his own story by acting on what he wanted. Similarly to what Oogway said: "The path to one's destiny is often the road he takes to avoid it." But Po, instead of avoiding a pre-written destiny, actually discovered what his destiny was by building the road himself, through wanting to FIND his destiny.
Because Po was so eager to see the Dragon Warrior, he became the Dragon Warrior. Oogway saw Po repeatedly struggle to get into the arena and brutally fail multiple times until he succeeded. And when he DID make it in, he fell from very high up in the air and survived both the fireworks explosion and the freefall onto the pavement from that height. Oogway saw that Po had tenacity and physical endurance, both of which the Dragon Warrior would need. It was no coincidence or accident, Po simply unintentionally proved himself. Plus, the fact that he survived due to his thick layer of fat meant that if Tai Lung attacked him with the paralyzing nerve attacks, they wouldn't work because he can't find Po's nerves the same way Mantis couldn't when doing acupuncture on Po. Therefore, Po was the best-suited person to stop Tai Lung.
Po wanting to be something he wasn't led to a self-fulfilling prophecy: Instead of becoming something he wasn't, he just became the BEST version of himself. He became "better" as himself, not as someone/something else.
I usually prefer demystifying prophecies!
@@PinkPopcast Just to take it even deeper into the lore, you should watch the 2-D animated short films too. "The Secrets of the Furious Five," and "Secrets of the Scroll" respectively tell how the Five grew up where they came from; and then how they met, formed the group on accident, and how young Po grew fascinated with Kung Fu.
To cut multiple VERY long stories short, each of the Five had very important lessons to learn growing up, making them into who they are. Then, Po gets involved in the Five meeting for the first time. He sneezed into the bowl of noodles Shifu ordered from Mr. Ping's shop, so Shifu gets sick just when the town is under attack and gives his student Tigress a list of 4 warriors to fight the villain. That list gets mixed up with Po's list of potential careers that he threw away. Based on Po's list, Tigress finds Mantis, Monkey, Crane, and Viper, who help her fight the villain despite Shifu's disapproval of their styles because they're not exactly like Shifu's, and their inexperience. When their unique fighting styles win, he decides to let all Five train into the warrior group. Po watched the whole fight and decided he was obsessed with Kung Fu from then on.
So because Po tried to figure out what to do with his life, he made the list. Mr. Ping didn't approve of those jobs so he made Po throw it away and put him in charge of the shop while he ran arrands. If Po hadn't been left in charge of the noodle shop and then made Shifu sick, Shifu wouldn't have asked Tigress to find 4 other warriors. And if Tigress didn't accidentally find Po's list of jobs he made while trying to find his purpose, and think it was Shifu's list, she wouldn't have met her warrior friends. The Furious Five wouldn't exist for Po to look up to. If Po hadn't seen their victory, he never would've wanted to learn Kung Fu. And he wouldn't have become the Dragon Warrior.
TL;DR, Po's search for meaning as a teenager brought him to Kung Fu and made him hungry for more, giving him the drive he needed to fulfill his self-made destiny to become the Dragon Warrior in the first movie.
"And everyone is traumatized now." YEP
38:43 So I had to Google it, but apparently snow peopards CAN mew. They just can't roar like some other big cats can. Instead, they make a sound called "chuffing." They can also purr, hiss, growl, moan, and yowl.
heres my fantasy tea party
1) master oogway
2) uncle iro
3) principal nezu
I don’t know the principal but I totally agree with the first two!!
dream blunt rotation
I quote so many lines from KP everyday, is embarassing... the other day my father (who is divorced from my mother) said to me: " You're such a selfish horrible and bad daughter", and I was like " I'm not A selfish horrible and bad daughter... I'm THE selfish horrible and bad daughter" safe to say he didn't laugh, but I did in my head 🙃
OMG 🤣🤣🤣
The second one for some reason legit terrified me when I first saw it😂 it’s definitely a lot darker but VERY ENTERTAINING
I can see that! Terrifying villain 🥶
16:01 he’s jumping faster than the speed of falling had me weak😂💀
😅
11:13 Oh, that was NOT a "balloon," Benji! It's a weighted wooden dummy that bounces back like those "Bobo the Clown" bop-it toys, but it is NOT soft! We have a dummy similar to that at my dojo, except it has a spring-loaded arm and a couple of padded areas to practice blocking and striking respectively. We can't use it unless we're VERY advanced and only with teacher supervision, because someone actually did lose a tooth once with that same dummy. An older student who was definitely not advanced enough to use it was trying to do so while waiting for his teacher, but I told him for his own safety to stop before he hurt himself. I was 3 sashes more advanced than him and I hadn't begun training on it yet. I also told him it knocked out someone's tooth before and he immediately backed away. He just didn't know any better before I said something.
🎈💥🦷
Po said "Watch me" and hit the Lil Kim on em lmfaoo
I remember being 7 or 8 and realizing I wanted to die like Oogway✨️🌸😂 made me hopeful, and honestly, I still hold onto that hope/reality (to spiritually exist in nature even after death I mean)
That would be amazing!
2:03 James Hong's family actually DID own a restaurnant/noodle shop in the Chinatown area of Minneapolis when James was younger, and he worked there. The creators learned that about him and incorporated it into his character, Mr. Ping.
Amazing! 🪿
I just have to say that this movie franchise is near and dear to my heart. As you have already guessed, Po was adopted and some people would say he's neurodivergent-coded. I was adopted as a baby and while I don't remember the person who birthed me and I don't want to find them, I know and love the woman who raised me as a single parent like Mr. Ping raised Po. I have also been a Kung Fu student for a long time and I love martial arts. And to top it all off, I'm on the Autism Spectrum. This franchise (and "Lilo and Stitch") have always spoken to my identity from the adoption perspective, and from being "the weird kid." All the friends I have now love me for how I am, and I never had to change for them; Neither did Po (or Lilo.) Our found families love us.
I cannot explain how comforting it is to see Rizzo talk about who voices who bc ive always been that person and it annoys everyone when i do it
like no you need to know who is voicing this character
😂 yes he’s definitely that person too, no worries
I love seeing all the people who practice kung-fu info dumping in the comments
🤚🏻 I am one of those people 😂 I'm already biased to love this whole movie franchise. I already liked it when I was 7 and it first came out, but then I started Kung Fu myself when I was 9 and fell in love with the first one all over again. I practiced Kung Fu for 13 years (taking a break to focus on University stuff for now) and as more of the movies came out I just went 🦇💩 crazy for them. And since I'm ✨ on the Spectrum,✨ I love nerding out about the martial arts aspects of ALL of them, with anyone who will listen 😂
Tai lung is Tai long-gone now
😂
I NEED YOU TO WATCH ALL THE MOVIES!!!!
Please!!!!
Maybe we will 👀
26:17 If you freeze-frame it, you can see that Shifu was grinning at the camera when he stole Po's dumpling. Cheeky little red panda!
Kung Fu Panda is so epic and funny. This is one of Jack Black's best movies ever. Learning about kung fu teaches important lessons and experiences. RIP Michael Clark Duncan as Commander Vachir
🐉🐉🐉🐼🐼🐼🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣
This is an amazing trilogy... especially the second movie makes me emotional each time I watch it (but the first is great and the third is still pretty good).
agreed! 🫡
This film release back in 2008 when I was a kid before their 16th anniversary. Also, we can't wait for the new kung fu panda film this year 💗
Ready for KFP4!!!
@@PinkPopcastit's at 3 weeks!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
The fact that this is my first time hearing this movie in English and with Rizzo’s and Benji’s commentary makes it the best first time ❤
What language did you used to watch it in??
39:28 Like others said, the Wuxi Finger Hold sends someone directly to the Spirit Realm (like when Jedi join the Force and their physical bodies leave the Earthly realm/life.) And if you remember, Shifu said the hardest part of the Wuxi Finger Hold "is cleaning up afterwards." That's because it also disintegrates your physical body. In Thanos' words, Tai Lung is "Gone, reduced to atoms." So all that dust in the town and that whooshed on the wind? It's Tai Lung's disintegrated body.
Have you guys seen the 'Kung Fu Panda Holiday' (2010) short that takes place between the first and second movies? If not, it would make for a fun little reaction. Ta. 🧡
Haha we haven’t
@@PinkPopcastOh, and we get to see the 'Noodle Dream' in it!
2:58-3:39
It's kinda crazy to think about how if Shifu had just waited for Oogway to blow out the candles, how different would his fate have been?
I get that Shifu blowing them out added to the comedy, characterization, and pacing of the scene/characters, but the timeline of it all would be have likely been drastically different. The feather would not have landed where it did, if not at all. Shifu may have been calm enough at that point to not take such hasty measures. And maybe there wouldn't have been a need for a Dragon Warrior, thus altering Po's own timeline (nospoilers yo).
Whoda heck knows tho?? yall watchiing this reminded me of that alternate story that could have (but not likely canonically) been
off topic but Benji has such a nice smile
Thank you 😊
LITERALLY CRYING AT THIS REACTION
The first time I saw this movie, I was in standard 2, and immediately, I fell in love. It makes me cry so profusely and truly inspires the woman I am today. I'm so happy you reacted to this.
Aww well it’s such a good film so it’s a great inspiration
rizzo just need a hat to complete his ash ketchum cosplay
Benji definitely pointed that out right as camera rolled
17:09 The animators called the piece of tile that fell on Po's head "the Love Chunk" because it's implied that Po has a crush on Tigress.
Mmmm love chunks 🤤
oh you guys have to at least do the second one. it's so good! We get some back story and we work through our trauma! plus gary oldman as an evil peacock. who doesn't love that?
Gary Oldman PERIOT!
You two NEED to watch nimona!
NO ONE TOLD US IT WAS QUEER! it's on our list now!
Even though I have watched other DreamWorks films more, I do really like 'Kung Fu Panda' because it is a very funny and enjoyable film with some good messages.
I think it’s one of their strongest, under Megamind (imo)
" who would name an animal a different animal" : ...
SZA naming her dog piglet 🤭🤷♀
I named my cat owl, her nickname was owie 😊😂
My uncle would do it just to mess with people
This is pretty common. My dad's best friend named his giant rottweiler dog Mouse.
an example of that would be the fact that Squidward's actually an octopus, but the creators named him Squidward because it sounded better
I loved this movie as a kid ! Let’s get it!!
Yess!!
ahhh so excited for this! KFP4 looks awesome and you two reacting to the first film is gonna be 🔥
🙌🙌
I love this animation! It’s my dad’s favorite, we watch at least once a year. Hope you guys do the sequel, loved the reaction! 🩷
We will 😊
One of the best trilogies and story arcs
So good!
kung fu panda is way more accurate than the live action mulan that was supposed to be "accurate" and "respectful" (source: am chinese and did kung fu (wu shu))
That’s sad for Disney lol but great for Kung Fu Panda!
@@PinkPopcastthe cartoon mulan is more accurate imo lol
Its funny that you have a peacock behind you guys.......
👀🦚
I’d personally LOVE to see you guys react to the rest of the series 💗
Yesss 😊
watching u guys reacting to one of my fav movies is just wonderful, benji is acting like a tsundere lmaoooo (not related but i would love to see your reaction and your comments on the society of the snow, it’s such a powerful movie 🥺😭)
I’ve never heard of that movie before 🤔
Number 4 is coming soon 😂 i hope u do 3 and 4 soon
I'm simultaneously falling in love with both of these men help
❤️❤️
4:49 this is a bit I have, I've got a cat named raven and I had a duck named toad 😌
Hahah
15:02 one of the most beautiful shots in an animated movie change my mind
I’ve had a rough day but this brought me a lot of joy! I hope you’ll watch the sequels too :)
I’m glad we could make you laugh 🥹
' *Megamind* ' is another underrated one, which should be a classic.
This movie is dearly-loved in China for being a great representation of Chinese culture and kung fu movies. It's considered to be among the greatest films in the Wuxia genre, and especially because it's an American-made animated movie marketed to kids, that's saying something! The whole franchise is very profound and honors Chinese cultures while maintaining lighthearted moments and humorous beats.
Yes! That’s awesome, the care that they put into making this really shows
I honestly love Dreamworks films. They are so slept on compared to Pixar but the creativity they have with some of their concepts is just bananas. Like...on paper Kung Fu Panda sounds dumb.
But the film really goes in on self acceptance being the key to Po's ability to be great. And others accepting Po as he is to see his potential. Like normally when we see a fat character, we see them get skinny as part of their journey towards being the hero but...that NEVER happens with Po. And idk, as someone who had been constantly told I wasn't enough just as I am, that message rang out loud and clear.
Like, this trilogy is lovely. I hope you watch the second cause how it deals with trauma and adoption stories is just beautiful.
We definitely will 🦚
I remembered that Dustin Hoffman accepted the role but only if his character could be an endangered animal, which was how he became to voice a red panda ☺️
Are those dinosaur bedsheets?
I am so glad I subscribed!
Yes they are! And the other side is unicorns 😁
22:41 same here Benui, those scenes always get me cackling
🙌🙌😄
This was so fun! Hope you get to check out the others too~
Yes 😊😊
watch the second one please! its so so good, just as good as the first
🦚🦚🦚
I absolutely love this movie everything about but the main thing is the CASTING, how they lowkey fit the animal their playing, how they play of that animals strength. My fav for example mantis super small but even in real life a very strong insect I just found that very clever, and for some reason when Po is fighting for the dumpling I love the line “I’m not hungry” subtle but showing Po is becoming the man or panda ? Lol he always wanted to be vs who he was expected to be and for a lot of people that can be super stressful feeling like you aren’t living up to your full potential which po wasn’t.
I love the Kung Fu Panda series!! My favorite is still KP2 but they are all great!!!
Great pick!
Not related to the movie, but I like both your hairstyles in this video.
Thanks!!
I love this series! Each movie kept getting better animation and better music! The story is very sweet and inspiring too, though some of the jokes are a little childish. The fights are awesome!!
Agree with Benji. I also had this - If he is a red panda, why is he white? - kind of moment.
😂😂
You guys never fail to make me laugh and I am so excited to see your reaction to the second best Dreamworks movie!
Yess! Glad to hear it 😄
Tai Lang used to scare me as child that I would have nightmares haha
Lol makes sense, he’s scary 😂
Ready for 2, 3 and then 4!!!😊
This is a great film but the second one is utterly fantastic. I’m not sure if you e seen it already or not. But either way I would love to see your reactions to it. One of the best villains in animation for sure.
Thanks for all your hard work. Love watching the channel.
We filmed it, so we should be able to post in a week or two :) and we loved it!!
So excited! Can’t wait to see it.
“Control Alt Ska-Doosh” is so much funnier than it has any right to be
18:45 Finally proper reaction on mustache being tore off
have you guys watched the prince of egypt?? that’s my favorite dreamworks film and i’m so impressed by the fact that it was the first project released by the company.
Part 2 is definitely my favorite by far.
It’s great!
Yes yes yes (for the trilogy marathon) 🥰
🙌🙌
Of course you need to do the other two
Yes 🙌
i just realised something about Po's dad. So he's been selling his Secret Ingredient Soup for years, only it has no secret ingredient that makes it different from the rest of his other noodle soup...that means Po's dad and his family before him have been charging different (possibly more expensive) price for the same soup and scamming their customers for YEARS!!
Pleeeassseeee I need to see u guys react to the rest of the movies!!🙏🏼😭😭😭🙏🏼
Will do! Lol
Po sent him to the spirit world. Basically he forced him to do what Oogway does going to the spirit world. Not necessarily killing him but he can’t go back to the real world
Awesome!
ooooo that’s cool
This one is really fun and good, and Kung Fu Panda 2 is even better! You should definitely watch it!
Y’all gotta watch the second and third Kung Fu Panda movies if you haven’t already. They’re both great especially the second one which is my favorite of the three
5:05 yk how parents would have you pick a switch to get whooped with? my dad had a bamboo stick that he wove a handle for and we got hit w that 🤣 it’s not fun!
please do the sequels!
We will 😊
Shifu (I thinks that’s how you spell it) is an albino red panda (I think)
That is quite a mix 🥹
my comfort youtubers :,,)
🥰🥰🥰
LOVE them!!!
Love all of these movies. The 2nd is surprisingly emotional. Hope you watch it.
🦚🦚🦚
the other 2 movies are also masterpieces, u guys should totally watch
u guys are adorable
🥰🥰
Favorite channel watching one of my favorite movies!
😊😊
One Of My Favorite Cartoon Movie Series!😢😮🙆♀️🥰🐼💗🖥
Most "unkillable unbeatable god villains" in movies feel so artificial. Like they are unbeatable and godlike just bc the story says they are - but Tai Leng's prison escape scene shows you again and again it is entirely earned. He's calculating, cunning, and absolute uncanny perfection in every action he does. Completely unrelated to his physicality, he is the big bad (ironically) because of the same reason Po becomes the dragon warrior, but in a twisted kinda way - he just believes he is the dragon warrior so he is. No questions asked. Funnily enough, he believes in his "destiny" soo much he can't see anyway out of it other than becoming that thing by whatever means necessary. "In order for something to be special, you've just got to believe it is" is all well and good, but Tai Leng believed in his specialness soo much he became a unfeeling unremorseful villain.
Have u guys thought about season 2 of Derry girls?
Awesome reaction of my favorite DreamWorks movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Gurllll
😊😊😊
Wait did rizzo just mention samurai jack?? That's like my favourite cartoon and no one i talk to seems to know of it 😭
🙌🙌
Plss do the other two moveis
Will do :)
THERE WAS AN END CREDIT SCENE?!
I know right!? It’s so cute
I recommend the second movie!!! It's on par (if not better) than the first film!
Definitely better
We’ll be watching it ☺️
It has the (in my opinion) the best villain in the series by far!!!
