7:14 My favorite part of this movie. Po's Dad making Tofu dessert. Why? Because in the first movie he said that in his youth he dreamed of going off to learn how to make Tofu. But he gave up on it for being a "silly dream" and not for Noodle Chefs like him. But after Po proves to him that dreams can come true he chose to follow his dream as well.

Another detail I like is how Po’s mop was put on display and is being treated as a special object despite the fact that it really is just a regular old mop. It ties back to Mr. Ping’s lesson - “to make something special you just have to believe it’s special”. The mop isn’t special on its own but the people believe it is because it belonged to Po who many believe is special because of his Dragon Warrior title.

That's a wholesome detail.

It's amazing how this movie can make a peacock of all animals so scary. I've always considered Lord Shen the closest thing DreamWorks has to Scar, Disney's best villain. He's cold, calculating, his past directly ties in with the protagonist's, and there's so much depth to his character, plus Gary Oldman's performance is impeccable. I also love Po's struggle to find his true self and inner peace, and that "Po Finds the Truth" sequence in the panda village is so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.

So apparently Tigress was an Orphan who was abandoned. No one would adopt her because of her immense strength. They would lock her up in a room sometimes when she had fits. It wasn't until Shifu adopted her that she found anything resembling a family.

Yeah. It is really sad, as I can relate to some parts of her backstory. 😢

I like how Michelle Yeoh was correct both times, Gary Oldman _was_ defeated by a warrior of black and white, but his destiny ended up in his own hands. He chose to fight Po, he led to his own demise regardless of prophecy. A lot of people thought it was too big a coincidence that Po is in _two_ prophecies, but they're missing the point. The Dragon Warrior is a once in a thousand years savior, he comes when China needs him the most to save it from the most severe threats. This is still part of the prophecy of the first, this is just how fate wove him in to the fabric of their world.

Yeah the symbolism in this film is on point. During the segway/get ready scene. It shows po and shen in black and gray, then they reverse/swap places to the ying yang symbol showing they're the same but different. Also argument could be made that shen himself was a warrior of black and white. Since he's a white peacock. He's a warrior (bested two mastered in hand to hand) and yeah he was his own undoing.

@@theeLonelyRedPanda Great point. And one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. He chose to interpret the prophecy as saying "a panda will kill you." In killing the pandas, he ensured that one was coming back to finish what he started, and ended up entwining his fate with the Dragon Warrior. If Shen is a warrior of black and white, the prophecy still works as he both controls his destiny and defeats himself.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is awesome. Just like Shrek 2, they took whatever people loved about the first one and made it ten times better. It takes on a very dark and mature tone, it even has some emotional moments. The action scenes are brilliantly choreographed, the story is amazing, Shen is a terrifying villain and we learn more about Po’s backstory.

@@donutstudios6353 to be fair. At least from the trailer. That looks more like a direct to video Disney sequel from the 90s/early 2000s than a real sequel. And they weren’t trying to hide it.

This movie is a masterpiece and Shen's death is a masterpiece. I don't know if you noticed that he committed suicide in a sense. Instead of running away, he closed his eyes. He preferred to die rather than admit that he was wrong

Being adopted myself and having found my birth family to be... Not the best... This movie REALLY hit home when I first watched it. I hugged my adoptive mom so tight after this.

I love how reviewers think that fireworks are completely innocent. They're explosives. Over 10,000 people are sent to hospital with fireworks-related injuries every year in the USA alone. It isn't that hard to make fireworks dangerous; you just aim them at a person instead of the air.

23:55 Yes, actually. I was gang SA'd as a kid but just blocked it out until I was 20, and I went to a show where someone did a monologue similar to what I had experienced.

One small note in the scene where Tigeress takes the canonball and is unconscious. When Po touches her paws she felt it this time, Meaning that the iron paw she used to have is gone.

Hans Zimmer and John Powell never miss when it comes the score. Undoubtedly my favourite of the trilogy, taking everything great about the first one and building upon it with a mature, heart-wrenching story, and probably Dreamworks' best villain.

Out of the (currently) three movies, this one is my favorite. Shen being a peacock makes for such an interestingly terrifying villain, especially when tied into Po's backstory. Plus the implications of his weapon being a worldwide threat being stopped right at the harbor is something to think about.

Interesting fact for mantis mating: if the male sneaks up on the female, he can jump on her back, mate with her and run away, meaning he can mate at least a second time. Another possibility is that the female may invite him over sort of saying "i may or may not eat you".

Surprised by this reaction. Also if you notice the Cannonballs Energy Trail changes from Red to Yellow once Po started Accepting what happened to him as part of his life and Shen was throwing Negative Chi (symbolized by red energy) and it changed to Positive Chi( Yellow).

If you're interested in seeing giant pandas in person, you'll have to go to Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. As of this moment, I believe they have the last giant pandas left in the United States, but will be sent back to China within a few months. Jack Black actually went to the 100 day naming ceremony of one of the babies, and revealed that his name was Po. I think there's a video of it floating around on here still!

I can't remember their name, but someone does a deep dive into how the Kung Fu Panda series is so authentically Chinese despite being made by DreamWorks on YT. Someone else does how this movie in particular resonated with their imposter syndrome. Me, I think the Goat's lines after we see Po's memory will always be the heart of the movie. We can all choose who we want to be.

There's nothing I can say about this movie that hasn't alredy been said. Its a fun, emotional ride that takes everything people loved about the original and turns it up to 11. Also, props to Gary Oldman for making a freaking peacock scary as hell.

This is my fave out of the trilogy! Dreamworks did not shy away from the mature and dark themes which brings such emotional and complex dynamics in the story. And the ost alongside epic and heartbreaking moments? Immaculate.

I've seen the movie(s) a few times over. I WATCH people's "Reactions" because I LOVE seeing folks' emotions/thoughts! So, I may arrive late (Sometimes YEARS late) to any video someone posts, but I'll still watch, like (Usually comment), and 'Subscribe,' just to show 'em my support and appreciation for their hard work! Thank you!

no matter how many time I watch this, the mother’s sacrifice will always make me cry

Never noticed how much Shen is like Freezer. Feared an old provicy so he wiped out an entire planet. One of the only survivors grows up becomming a warrior without ever knowing about the villain. Even in the end when the hero offers to spare him he instead tries to kill him and dies as a result of his own actions.

Prophecy said Shen would be defeated by a warrior of black and white. Shen’s feathers are black and white

I think both 1 and 2 are great. 1 for the surprise of how good it was for the absurd elevator pitch that it is but the 2nd one is my favourite for one simple reason; the villain. Gary Oldman killed it as Shen; intimidating but also funny in a way that broke neither the slightly silly world or took away from his malevolent vibe.

This is such an amazing reaction. I love this franchise so much. Jack Black is so hilarious. Keep on working hard Mell🔥💯✊🏾

I laugh every time Po says "false advertising" 😂😂 Also just because Po is the Dragon Warrior doesn't mean he's a better fighter than the 5. Tigress is the best fighter, Po can fight but his power is more inside of him than his actual strength. Who he is and believing in that is what makes him the Dragon Warrior. Only Po could master inner peace as quickly as he did, only Po could understand the Dragon Scroll & apply it. Plus come the 3rd film you'll understand him a bit more.

Just wait till you hear the villains theme in Kung Fu Panada 3. God is on point. So good.

I love how persistent Shen being a Villain, no mercy and out of the box animals to be a main Villain, also love the story build up too, honestly it's perfect. But for action and fights love the first movie.

Everytime bro said damn it po, I felt him 😂

It's like Oogway said in the first movie, one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

My personal ranking goes: 1.Kung Fu Panda 2 2.Kung Fu Panda 3.Kung Fu Panda 3 For me, the second had the best fights, most heartfelt moments, and overall most mature story! I'm not all that hyped for a 4th entry because I felt the series took a step back in trying to appeal to a younger audience, tho I can't say I blame them, they just want to make a profit, it's understandable, but the second felt more aimed at young and older adults that loved the first film, and grew from there.

Not the Tenacious D song😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my favorite part of this whole video lmaoo

When I was a kid I saw this in theaters and thats one thing I love of dreamworks they know how to make characters feel powerful but not from their power but from their story and being someone who was adopted as a baby never knowing their biological family this hits a core in me as well just knowing somewhere you may find them, and its Emotionally Beautiful and Mature in its storytelling

Hans Zimmer did the soundtrack’s for all 3 movies and they’re all bangers

Personally I believe that creating a playlist of series/trilogies makes me as a viewer much easier to watch, and to even find. Im much more interested and invested if it is sorted correctly. But that's just a personal opinion of mine, I do love structure and organization lol

An interesting system mell has on whether or not he will watch a sequel and react on YT. It’s practically the same concept filmmakers have on whether or not to even MAKE a sequel based on the success of the box office from their first.

Even i already watch it,seeing it again in theater for the first time was truly a great experience and with 3D glasses (Yes,i wouldn't mind using 3D glasses,it's make the experience ten times better especially an inner peace scene or the time when Shen slice up Po,you can see Po's fur float).

Shen really is a great villain, stylised, distinctive, a little unexpected being a peacock and all. Feels quite real, misguided, and too far down a dark path to let himself think about his inner conflicts. The antithesis of Po, which seems to generally be the point. I think most of their best villains represent the hero in some way, if they'd picked a different fork on the road

@gc8568

I remember seeing a comment on another Kung Fu Panda 2 video saying White Peacocks aren’t found I guess desirable by their species. If true Shen being a white peacock and feeling as if his parents didn’t love him was a great stylistic choice for his character. Just proves they went the extra mile instead of making him a normal peacock.

I love this movie. In a lot of ways, I really do rate it higher than the first movie because of Lord Shen as the villain... and the fact that they gave the emotional moments more time to resonate and breathe. I'm not going to lie, the emotional beats hit like a brick for me when Po is doing the whole inner peace thing, both at the end of the second act and in the finale. Even when watching reactions, it makes me tear up _every time._ Oh, and an interesting thing with Lord Shen: I'm pretty sure that when he's talking with Po right at the end there, he finally makes the decision to find what peace he can... and that he does so by letting himself die. He's the one who cuts the ropes, and when it is coming down on top of him, he doesn't run... he just closes his eyes and accepts it. After everything that he had done, and how ruled by the manic need for power and respect that he'd been driven by for his _entire_ life at that point, the only way that he could have peace was to... die. He couldn't move on from the burden of destiny that he carried, and it was the only way that he could free himself from it.

Jack Black is probably one of my favorite actress ever seen him in probably almost every movie

12:33 "But Red Dead Redemption 2, that is not a game! It's an incredible journey through old American history. Fighting for your life and fighting for your family..." Jack black is a fucking gift tu humanity

Awesome reaction of my favorite Dreamworks superhero movie!!!!

You will probably only get this from me. But "The Professor" or "Richard says goodbye" starring Johnny Depp. One of his least known but one of his best. Funny, sad, serious, and a bit outrageous

this one is def my fav kung fu panda movie so far, top tier animation, music and story, some things animation just does better than live action.

Kung-fu panda is great, the second one is my favorite part of the trilogy so far, the third is a bit lacking in my opinion but still very good and the ending soooo good 😁

I'll always love when "kids" movies take a mature tone. Like when I saw Lion King in theaters as a little baby. Kids learn to grow and appreciate being treated like adults.

King fun panda 2 is one of my all time favourite movies.

unlike most movies, where the original is always the best and the more they make the less awesome they become. Kung Fu Panda did just the opposite for me. the first one was fantastic, the second built on that and made the lore better, and they saved the best for last with #3.

OMG never noticed it but when they are falling form the pagoda onto the city below, tigress catches and then gently tosses po.

16:31 - 16:30 i am the main character b- 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 he’s right po is the main character

watch 3 no matter what because its all so good

This film is one of the few times I prefer a sequel to the original. This movie adds so much more to the characters it is insane. Small moments such as the callback to tofu showing the character growth of Po's dad. And the 5 especially tigress are so much better in this. Not just because you see the relationship between them and Po grown but they are given more to them. Such as tigress. I remember balling my eyes out so much during this movie just because of her. Angelina does an incredible job as well. But you see the growth and just how much tigress cares about Po and does not want him to get hurt. You see she is not this just heated, hard-headed, badass like she was in the first movie. But she has a deeper story and has moments where she breaks her walls down like when she hugs Po and says the Hardcore does understand. I just think her character depth and growth is amazing

21:14 that's a tuning fork, which Po used to catch himself by wedging it between the slats.

Actually, yeah. I was experiencing the same bad dreams over and over until I was 26 and finally spoke to come loved ones about them. They unlocked some trauma, but I healed. And now I don't have those dreams anymore.

The first movie is awesome, the second movie is deeply emotional AND awesome. Definitely one of my all time faves.

First - 40,000 views is legit alot. Even if you're used to getting more views on most videos. Sometimes you gotta just do movies because it's something you already started, it's something you simply might enjoy watching, or a nice little handful or your subs would love to see you continue watching. It doesn't have to solely focus on crazy amounts of views and likes. Even though I understand that's important for the channel so that definitely plays a part. But I really enjoy when reaction channels are clearly here because they love film/television and they want to try as many things as possible. They're open to all movies, all shows, no matter if they will have a huge traction of likes and views. So I definitely think that's important. The early discussion about not doing well with the first Kung Fu Panda and How To Train Your Dragon just really got me thinking about that. I love your channel so I love that you react to so much! I'm in no way saying you're not a good channel or reactor. 😂 I'm a sub and love your channel. I just felt that was important to talk about. ❤ That being said, I'm SUPER surprised your How To Train Your Dragon reaction didn't do well. But I did notice the side note saying it was like one of your first reactions so it's also not surprising. If you was to release the next sequel this week even, you'd definitely see a huge difference in views and likes. Those a re huge reactions in the reaction community here. So I think your channel being so early at that time is what played into that lower count of views. But if you're unsure of the sequels, they definitely get even better than the first. They're really good.
