- Hello everyone. Its finally happening. I got Kung Fu Panda suggested too many times to count. I was hesitent at first since its not a movie that means that much to me personally. I watched it for the first time a few years back but it didnt really stick with me, so I decided to rewatch it last week, but this time I took notes and actually paid proper attention. Surprisingly, there isnt that much in regards to Kung Fu, but there's tons in regards of Chinese philosophy. I enjoyed breaking it down. I hope you do too.

To everyone's surprise, including his own, Po, an overweight, clumsy panda, is chosen as protector of the Valley of Peace. His suitability will soon be tested as the valley's arch-enemy is on his way. - Розваги

I’m so happy you got around to this movie, there are many reasons why I got into KungFu and you, AND kungfu panda are two of them
funni
just 2 more movies to go :P
It's a bit of a stretch but another movie that imparts this type of message is The Last Dragon - A great, cheesy 80's kung fu film
It's a great movie and it's disappointing how many people just kind of write off as a kids movie. Also you should watch the commentary by the Director (Art director?) where they talk about the use of colour in creating the feel of the scenes and communicating the emotional state of the characters. It's too bad Kung Fu Panda 2 just shits all over the message of the first movie by being specifically about how Po was the chosen one all along.
Kung Fu Panda is probably one of my favorite animated movie trilogies ever. No one could have done it better than DreamWorks. Jack Black as Po is just nothing short of Awesome.
They say How To Train Your Dragon was the best trilogy... but Kung Fu Panda is on another level. The characters, storytelling, visuals, action and Hans Zimmer's gorgeous score make these films so adoring to watch. Very funny and action packed but also so rich with mature themes and impactful moments.
Kung Fu Panda is a masterpiece.
meh
@@oscarm4095 Nah, why are we comparing both when they are both better than most of Disney?
How to train your dragon might take that for me
Personally, I find that Kung Fu Panda 2 is the best out of all 3. Has an emotional story and very good animation.
3 was good too, but not as good as the second one. I'd say it's on par with the original.
The second one has literally one of the only moment in animated movies history when i can say : Damn that's fucking BADASS ! When Po stand on a roof and when he's face to face against Shen's armada. Heck they made a freaking peacock : threatening with an edgy design. Also that godlike music; i'm literally melting when i'm listening to it
still when i rewatch it i get goosebumps
Two I legit put up there as one of the best martial arts movies. Same in terms of animated films.
Kung Fu Panda 2 keeping up the tradition of DreamWorks sequels being better than the originals. Looking at you, Shrek 2!
My favorite quote from the first movie "Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, right now is a gift, that's why it's called the present."
Nice🤔...Its a shame it will be lost in translations.
I actually had that tattooed. Beautiful quote with a meaningful message
Unfortunately, it's a lost translation.
true, but thankfully portuguese has the same meaning so i could enjoy that when i was a kid@@erurainon6842
@@erurainon6842Luckily enough, in Italian the double entendre holds up the same as in the original!
About the whole dragons being used sparingly thing: it actually is used sparingly in the movie. The only place that's filled with dragons is just the Jade temple. And even then it's only a few parts of the temple. Specifically the parts related to the DRAGON warrior or DRAGON scroll which of course would have a lot of dragon depictions. The rest of the movie has little to no dragons.
Fun Fact: The animators took a six-hour kung fu class to get an idea of the movie's action.
Awesome
Great another mass commenter
It also took em a while to animate the confetti scene where Po was chosen by Uggey
6 hours is nothing lmao
Six hours per day for over a few weeks right? Not a single six hours course? Because six hours is not enough to learn anything

The duality of Ranton, on the one hand making a very educational straight forward video about Kong fu panda. And on the other, his normal videos that remind me I have ADHD in the first 5 seconds of the video.
I wonder how many people stumble upon very cool, calm Rantoni videos like these and go through the normal videos just to either get very disturbed or very hooked. Another banger
He seem knowledgeable on his stuff but sometimes he just go overboard with his other edgy side of his videos.
That was my exact experience a few years ago when I found this legend
I'll be honest, I am one of those people. I came across Ranton via his Shaolin videos. Naturally, I wanted to see more what he had to say, and while his reviews are occasionally funny and all have ENORMOUS effort put into them, they are not for me. I'm not one of those people who will dismiss them as "garbage" because I don't like them. It's just not a style that really resonates with me. It's too random, too chaotic. As someone in their 40s with ADHD and Autism, the pure, unbridled chaos of his reviews are like sandpaper on my brain.
That said, I still watch them sometimes because if you filter out the "nonsense" (so to speak), the content, what he has to say, is well thought out, well worded and valuable because even if we might disagree on a game specifically, his insights are valuable.
Oh yeah, Kung Fu Panda. That's that documentary right?
Still more accurate to real history than netflix
Yeah, it's about the panda that is being trained to become a Kung Fu Master, it's supposed to have happened five hundred years ago...
@@friedrichi.dersoldatenkoni2896 true
How on earth is this your first time watching this masterpiece
I'm even surprised 😂
It’s his second time if you read the description
I think the point with Po’s style is that it is supposed to be unique. It is supposed to represent him. He uses his body to his advantage, the environment, and his opponents power against themselves. It’s derived from his fathers teaching that there is no secret ingredient. It is just you. Even shift tailored his teaching for Po in particular because he isn’t like every student he’s ever taught.
Aye. Which is probably why there isn't a comparison to Bear Style. Literally no one can be Po better then Po. He doesn't try to brutalise his opponents with incredible athleticism or speed, but rather takes his incredible endurance to take whatever life can throw at him and roll with it. He literally rolls down a mountain and use's his immense robustness and round shape to shrug all the damage off. It also speaks strongly to his character as despite the harshness of his training and the ridicule he faces from the 5 and his master, he continues to endure and be genuine in his love for martial arts.
My favorite thing about Kung Fu Panda is that when I watch the first one, I have to watch the next two. The quality does not drop. I dunno if I would say it gets better, but the bar was already high to begin with. They just keep nailing it. I believe they were supposed to be making 2 more to complete Po's journey. I hope they make them just as good. I can't say this about many sequels, especially animated sequels. They are just all so good! Each with their own lessons for Po.
This aged poorly
This movie was so epic, I've watched more times then I can count cuz it never gets boring for me.
But damn how haven't you watched this before, I was 8 years old when I first watched it
watched it for the first time a few years ago but it didnt rly stick with me for some reason, so i rewatched it last week after getting so many messages about it 😄
@@RealRanton really hope you will watch the rest of the movies too. Because 2nd movie was too beautiful and is my personal favourite.
@@hisao-1428 2nd movie is one of my favorite movies of all time, one of the rare cases where the sequel is better than the original. Not to say that the first one was not good, its like a 10/10 vs a 15/10 haha
@@RealRanton please watch the rest or at least the 2nd one it may share the same messages/morals but it’s sooo good that it deserves to be seen
I liked the movie scene with the peach tree of wisdom and guess what I loved with master Oogway. 😁
It's funny because Kung Fu Panda 2 precisely demystifies the image of Kung-Fu. So I imagine you're going to enjoy the second film in more than one aspect of the plot. On the other hand, the 3rd film embraces even more all the culture around Kung Fu and Chinese mythology.
Love the movies. It's one of those rare situations, when you get pretty decent sequels, similar to How to Train Your Dragon. I think the voice actors did a spectacular job especially Jack Black as Po. Great story, amazing animation, lots of fun for both children and grown-ups. Not to mention all the valuable lessons the series teach.
Game related content is great but i love these types of videos you do. Hope you keep them coming Ranton!
HE DID IT! THE MAN FINALLY MADE A KUNG-FU PANDA REVIEW🥳🥳🥳
what a movie
Funny: also just wanna say ranton as much as I love your meme heavy stuff these sorts of videos are some of my favorites on youtube. Educational, introspective of your own experiences and connective to something so many people enjoy. You do a great job of connecting these portrayals to the real thing
no...this is too plain...
@@maomekat7969 wym 👁️👄👁️
@maome kat If Ranton talks about personal stuff like Shaolin stuff, his life, etc, he's much more serious & informative, compared to his memelord gaming stuff...
Probably wants to appeal to casual viewer, or wants to represent Shaolin Monks in a respectful way when talking about them. I dig having 2-sides like FilthyFrank/Joji for meme/music tho...
I think a really cool aspect of this movie that wasn’t mentioned in the review is that the conflict between Oogway and Shifu is actually a debate between confucianism and daoism, in particular the peach tree scene. And it’s handled very well because neither one really wins out in the end
How does this not get many likes bruh
Famous director Guillermo del Toro, was the kungfu consultant for Kung Fu Panda 2!!!!
Two lines I love - "There is now a level zero" ... "one does not wash one's pits in the pool of sacred tears"... best lines in movie history.
🥋🐼 had me in tears. Good film
I just want to mention something about the part with super powers and technique. Most of the people get too excited too easy and it 's not that very few believe in "magic techniques". When I was serving in the army, in the first days (let 's say something like bootcamp) there was a person that admitted he was practcing a martial art (I don 't remember the name). He told us that he could without much power, punch someone at the chest, and he will feel it in all of his body, while pushing him back. One person wanted to taste this punch and he said that it was true. And suddenly, the whole military base wanted to get punched. Of course I tried it as well, and somehow he made my whole body feel so smooth and felt that I lost control during that second of the punch. As I said people will always get excited with stuff like that. Poor guy though, he had to punch 400 people that day. Greetings from Hellas.
Nice. He is practically Bruce Lee.
love these movie break downs! can’t wait for more
I love how well-written these movie reviews are, keep them coming!!
I watched a video about the impact kung fu panda had on China specifically I think even tho it's not technically accurate in some ways it's a simple story about a foreign guy who is in love with the culture and he wants to show that one of the responses to the movie was eye opening "why can't we do that" referring to showing love and appreciation to the culture of kung-fu
I’m happy that the universe is following me in my newfound resurgence in interest in kung fu panda. I wanna watch it again because the music makes me cry
Damn i watched this in my childhood & occasionally revisit this series once in a while…and i didnt realise how much references and meaning there was until your analysis, great video anton!
Ok, time to watch the trilogy again. Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon are beautifully realized franchise. DreamWorks can truly put art in what they're doing.
Your understanding and exposition of the Tao and Dharama are awesome Ranton, glad to have found your channel. Hilarious with a drop of Tao, unapologetically you.
10:34 i am in aw, i have been going thru a very difficult time in my life right now and my minds been trying to run wild. The fact that you say what you did here about this message of calming ones mind can be very meaningful if delivered at the right time is so meaningful to me right now. Thank you for those words ❤
i probably watched 3 kung fu panda movies for like 9-10 times and when i watch them again i still get joy even if i know what will happen next. It is just like a literal goosebump supply movie. kung fu panda 3 kinda gets me boring at middle but still every single movie is 9+ outta 10
Kung fu Panda is my favourite childhood movie. And is strongly believe that the story and character building still holds up today
Good video. Also looking forward to seeing you in season 2 of Ultimate Self Defense Championship
This is a great analysis, thanks for your insight! I'm still amazed this movie was pulled off so well, it's easy to imagine how wrong it could have gone. I'm glad they took the risk and made this gem.
A lot of animated movies follow this similar pattern, on the surface without paying attention you can miss the bigger messages and meaningful words that are sprinkled throughout it; genuinely love Kung Fu Panda!
surprised you hadn't seen it. glad you liked it man, it's great.
The bit about cooking also being a path to enlightenment reminds of the 1990 samurai movie Ronin-Gai, since it has a similar scene where the ronin character "Bull" encounters a noodle salesman who is former samurai. He learns the noodle salesman discovered a passion for making noodles as the world began to push the samurai caste to the fringe, and the noodle seller specifically says that he found new meaning by committing his fighting spirit to cooking instead of killing. Bull is dubious at first, he thinks the samurai gave up something important, but then he eats the noodles and they are the best he has ever eaten. It changes his whole perspective on life and impending death, declaring them 'samurai noodles.'
Love that scene.
The Drunken master has the most effective style I've ever seen in any kung fu movie tho :=)
Hopefully we get the trilogy from Ranton 🙏
Would love to see you do a review of “Kung Fu” the old series from 1972 that was one of my first intros to martial arts and kung fu. Definitely a bit out dated by todays media but the philosophy and martial arts spirit really resonated with me as a kid and is one of the reasons why I practice martial arts today.
Love the martial arts content! Keep it up Ranton. How’s karate going?
Loved this style of review!
I love Kung Fu Panda it's what made me so interested in China and Martial Arts
It's actually my favourite animated movie. I love it. And you perfectly explained why.
8:44 - Dang that part hits way more than i remember
6:50 Lol! When you were talking about pressure points, I was wondering if you were going to reference Kenshiro.
Aside from Tenacious D, Kung Fu Panda might be Jack Black’s best movie
Tenacious D? Lol
He was great in King Kong
Nacho Libre homie
School of Rock is another top tier.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it after so many requests! Would love if you could watch the rest of the trilogy, because I'm curious on your thoughts and perspective on the others, too.
You gotta watch the second movie, it’s genuinely a nearly flawless film. And Shen is genuinely one of the best cinematic villains I’ve seen.
I laughed at the Wushi Fingerhold because finger joint breaking techniques are so powerful and hard to defend against.
This movie is special to me because I could relate to Po so much when he couldn't get in to watch the furious 5. I was 7 at the time and I had traveled so far to get to the stadium with my parents just to realize our tickets weren't valid or something. And because we didn't have a lot of money, all I got from that trip was the red Chinese Olympics mascot as a plushie. I vividly remember there being 5 other mascot characters that matched the Olympics colors.
I mean this unironically when I say I think Kungfu Panda is one of, if not THE best trilogy ever.
Here's hoping that you make another video on Kung Fu Panda 2, it has so many great lessons and lines about finding peace after trauma and accepting the pain it's caused you.
Hey Ranton super cool thanks to saying hi this morning. Now a follower lol thanks to Holley 😁
This isn't a "bear style" per say, but Yin Style Baguazhang, which has eight animal systems, has a "bear system" within it. So there is, at least to my knowledge, a precedent for bear based animal systems. Of course I doubt Kung Fu Panda based Po's fighting style on Bear style, but they may have had similar inspirations. And like you said, there may have been plenty of other bear systems invented in the north or the south, though I'd suspect they'd be a pretty recent invention.
You should definitely check out the sequels, havent seen the third one but the second one for sure is even better than the first, and ive heard nothing but good things about 3
Maybe you should see 3 soon especially since 4 is coming in less than a year.
@Ranton Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" is #1. Close second is Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time in China" Trilogy.
Ranton, do more videos. You're my spirit animal I need more content from you, please :D
If you watched the first Kung Fu Panda you need to watch the rest of the trilogy, its one of the best if the best animated trilogy ever made.
Kung Fu Panda is my favourite 'modern' animation, and all of its movies are fantastic. I can cry my eyes out with the score and the scenes and the lessons etc. It's just all in all something I would rewatch anytime
I feel like this was the most chilled ranton video ever
I like this serious laid back Antoni, I know we have seen him before but still nice to get the full-spectrum-Ranton.
so many little thing's to the movie that i didnt realise had the meaning that they did, i knew it had deeper meanings but not like this, have a massive new appreciation for the movie ❤️
This is so good, Ranton. I love Kung Fu Panda and getting to see and learn about it in a different light is so educational. Well done and hopefully we get more.
These have been very fun!
Rantons shorts and videos like this always get me because on one hand, dude makes reviews with the most cracked out energy reminiscent of an early 00s UA-cam poop video. On the other, the guy has the legit atmosphere of a kung fu master and philosopher that legit knows what hes talking about without all the fluff and bs.
No wayyyy bruh, this movie is epic! Better late than never tho.
Your review was very educational, thanks for the info , I'll watch the movie again but in different light ❤
Very good coverage. The only other aspect of pressure points that i think are viable, are also strikes to muscle groups... ie. the dead leg effect from a powerful strike to the upper or lower leg. When the tissue is compressed against the bone it can create a contusion that can effect the nerves and muscles in the area alike making it not only feel painful or uncomfertable but also effectively numb and unable to take weight. If that makes sense, hopefully I'm explaining it well enough lol. It's essentially like "charley horse punch" you may ha e experienced on the playground as a kid. It causes both bruising and cramping and can feel "dead" or jelly like.
Very beautiful video. Caught me at the right time for sure… :)
I don't remember if he's watched it, but an analysis of the Marital Arts of Bending in Avatar: The Last Airbender would be cool, since all the bending styles are based on various real martial arts
Yes ♥️
THE SERIES, right?😊
@@Holocoasterr What else? There is no Avatar Movie in Ba Sing Se.
Now that you’ve watched the first one, please watch the sequels and make a review on them as well! One of the few franchises where the quality does not drop with each sequel.❤
Damn I’m surprised it took you this long, but glad you got along to it. Please do a video about 2 and 3 after this!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us my Friend! I love Kung Fuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!
I watched this trilogy countless times. It was also the trigger for me to start learning Kung Fu. Those were the best years of my life and I'll be forever grateful for that movie and to my Sifu. 🥺
The first two films are legit great martial arts movies and I think the title combined with being animated causes ppl to overlook them (lets be honest, here in the west animated films, even heavily praised ones, get viewed differently from live action films) I recall the tv show being okay.
I would love to see more movie reviews from you, even the ones not related to chinese martial arts.
This movie to me is among my top 10 greatest films of all time. This movie was what inspired me to pursue a career in art and animation and I am thankful for it.
You mean you watched the most epic and historically accurate piece of art about Kung fu ONLY in 2023?!?!?! What did they you teach at Shaolin? It should have been a separate discipline there.
3:00 hand projectiles were also pretty common,like the Cricket Throwing Stone,the Flying Dagger, and so on. A shuriken doesn't seem such a stretch.
oh boy you would LOVE kung fu panda 2 and 3 if you already this the first one, love you rantoni one of the best on yt fr
Ranton your videos are great
Your Chinese (well...half Chinese), and you haven't seen Kung Fu Panda!? I think your tears of kingdom review got the title correct then 😂.
My favorite part was when the panda said "It's Panda time" and then Panda'd all over Tai Lung
I will always love the Kung Fu Panda series as it's what got me into Chinese culture and Martial Arts as a kid and that's stuck with me ever since, plus it also has an amazing voice cast
funny!!
Funny
I love your videos so much your amazing keep up the good work
Never seen the movie, I have seen many reviews, but, yours is the only one that convinced me that I need to see this movie. 🙏
I used to love this movie when i was little but it doesn't have the same effect on me anymore tbh. I don't like the idea of being destined to be great while others (Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, etc) have worked for years or even decades to perfect their skills. Don't get me wrong, i love that Po works on himself and grows in more than just strength. The fight scenes and characters are amazing as well. I'm just not a fan of destiny, fate, prophecies or devine intervention guiding you to greatness.
Did t he say that it was hard work that let you overcome the odds and that it was only you who could make it happen, which was the point of the mirror on the scroll, and his reflection in the water?
@@Scissors69 Did you read all of my comment or just the first two sentences? I said that i like how Po works on himself and grows in more than just strength.
But that doesn't change the fact that he was selected for that prestigious title before he even trained. And if i remember it correctly, the training he received was only a couple of weeks at most.
5 trained fighters combined failed to do what a random guy did alone, after receiving minimal training.
Showing the results of self improvement and hard work is always positive message but not everyone's hard work paid off in this movie.
@@Scissors69 And like i said, i'm just not a fan of destiny, prophecies and stuff like that as a plot device.
I think the only way to beat the leopard that demolished everyone that worked decades to perfect their skills, is a little bit of training and a whole lot of "destined to be great".
@@bonesaw7468 And Tai Lung was the representation of becoming the greatest warrior through hard work and determination, so at least you got someone to look up to.
You should do your favorite martial artist tier list , would be nice to see or watch some fight scenes
My theory is that Po at the end of the first movie is doing some sort of drunk fu
Like you see how he kinda flows with the punches, stumbling into ripostes and stuff
I remember watching this movie when I was younger, I just found it funny and exciting. But as I grew older and started to do martial arts myself I fell more in love with this movie so much more.
This video means a lot because when I was a kid I used to watch this movie every day and the message hit me deep
Past is history , Future is mystery but today is a gift , that's why it call present .
Beautiful review! Love this movie, the secuels and short films too
Unrelated but man I hope you get to participate in the ultimate self defence challenge, it will be amazing to see how someone how actually trained at the temple approaches these different situations ✌️ plus seeing you and Jesse spar will be pretty cool to. Like sensai seth cool
7:25 he almost sounds like a Jedi or something, lol. Not dying but returning to nature, the whole minimal violence thing, pretty interesting. I know Jedi were inspired by Eastern philosophy but dang.
my first view of kung fu was an old bruce lee movie, i cant remember the name now but i still remember the huge ice locks
