[@haydendillard7225]

Was this trumpet solo fit for a legend?

[@nathanclippard2637]

Yes it very much was!

[@GG-sw1fb]

Yes indeed

[@ninjireal]

that wasn’t a solo

[@player1marcio744]

Not for just a mere legend, but the dragon warrior himself

[@legendofseas160]

You called?

[@omnipotentdancinglordling]

This whole intro sequence goes insane, the music only adds to it. I like to imagine that even though this is a dream, maybe it happens in the future at some point

[@bjornrisberg9404]

Omg imagine it being inkung fu panda 4? It would be so dope!

[@tanmaykokkula6211]

It actually does, in Kung Fu Panda 2 the shot at 0:10 is recreated while Po fights the wolf bandits at the Musician's Village

[@brandonm1708]

As the previous comment mentioned, it already did in some sense. I think the full thing should stay a dream, because all the references to it that we see are shown in a much more grounded way. It reminds us that our dreams are achievable, but they can lack realistic expectations. I’d love to get more references to this sequence, but I’d hate for them to just replay it in its entirety

[@HueManatee]

adding onto what other commenters said, po even gets a hat, robe, and cape at the end of 3.

[@nathanclippard2637]

This trumpet solo is fit for a LEGEND!!!!

[@MagnustheDemon71]

THe part where po is fighting an army of wolves and cats solo is makes this the best intro into an animated movie ever

[@HueManatee]

it calls upon classic kung fu movies with its bombastic brass, showing an unrealistic and idealized form of what Po wants to become, all while remaining pure and wholesome as the dream of a child-like individual who wants to be a famous hero - both famous, and a hero.

[@ChickenGrave]

This 26 second video was better than the entirety of the 4th movie

[@Phoenix-fg7tn]

Sadly

[@labcoatgorilla6784]

Honestly I can’t think of a movie series that had 4 consecutive bangers. A shame it had to be this way.

[@lemagicbaguette1917]

0:14 those are wolves. How did I never notice this before?

[@chupacadabra5161]

I interpreted it as Po's suppressed childhood trauma because wolves attacked his village as a child

[@AcridMoon]

I have a theory that old samurai films and spaghetti westerns kept influencing each other and have very similar themes and thus alot of them share thematic elements like music, dialogue, and cinematography.

[@coca_0146]

You are correct, some of them even share directors.

[@yudaigo237]

I remember watching that scene as a kid and think that was the coolest thing I had ever seen, and it still hits hard

[@codeblaze3]

One of the most underrated soundtracks of all time

[@gamingartbeasts]

That tends to happen with animated movies, which is unfortunate.

[@OctagonalSquare]

I think the coolest is that its mixed with otherwise very chinese inspired musical motifs, which is very tradition based. but then you have this blaring trumpet which is very non-traditional and matches Po, who is far from a traditional warrior

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

Kung Fu Panda is one of the coolest movies ever made ngl

[@pantherapardus1398]

I swear to God, that crotchet tied to a minim on the D note followed by the string section replying with an augmented version of the previous chord progression apmost brings me to tears every time I hear it.

[@oblivionarts5878]

Who would have thought that this version of Po's dream would fall short compared to what it is in reality

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

An entire film in this style. All Ive ever wanted as a child

[@jordgubbe4627]

A movie song that I've enjoyed for a while is the theme from the Penguins of Madagascar by Lorne Balfe, that has a crazy trumpet solo in it

[@ibethalvarez2006]

It mattered not how many foes he faced... THEY WERE NO MATCH FOR HIS BODACITY!

I said I would have to subscribe if you did more Powell cues, so I shall keep my word. You just earned yourself a new sub. Keep up the great work!

[@bluepythonproductions]

Oh oh oh can you do Arturo Sandoval's solos in Rango??? I'm not sure which tracks are the best but I love the end credits

[@nuggetsschumaker4371]

Kung Fu Panda should lean more to this art style of Po's dreams to be the dragon warrior, since he is indeed approaching that level, if not already have achieved it on his last two movies.

[@Fjcorsello]

It’s like a god damn comic book

[@prince_o_hyrule2457]

A fantastic story, and I realize, it's a combination of those traditional Kung Fu movies and their soundtracks, and stuff like Rush Hour or Western Martial Arts films.

solos don’t have to be high to be good, imo.

[@mateocastro4254]

[@dogiy1775]

It would have been so cool if we got an older Po doing this exact scene but instead of a dream, it's a reality, reflecting his growth. Without Po narrating of course. Sadly, that did not happen in Kung Fu Panda 4

[@richyrodriguezberezov2052]

It would be great seeing this actually animated with the KFP animation, in a new movie

But this isn't a trompet solo, is it? There are other instruments

[@taco_boi1167]

the trumpet is the most prominent within the score and has the main melody so it can be counted as a solo

[@markusandrew3680]

Am I supposed to notice a change? Because it just sounds like the OST from the movie.
