Kung Fu Panda 2 - Character Analysis, StoryBoards, Scenes Comparison, Deleted Stuff and more!

Most the anaylsis I made is my opinion, which may differ from others, yet all of them should be respected.
This video contains copyrighted material from the film “Kung Fu Panda 2.”
I do not own any of the stuff shown in this video, but I am the one who edited all of it into the video, as well as the one who added the subtitles and more stuff :).
I have to say thanks to some friends who helped me with all of this, either with the typos, stuff, links, sources, everything, they are the goats 🦚🦚🦚.
(I asked them like three times if they wanted any credit, like their usernames for examples, they all said no. But if their mind changes in the future, I'm going to edit the description and put the respective credit here)
Credits: Image from 21:30 to 21:45 (Shen holding a cannon from a videogame) is from Jinn (Good friend, cool dude 🦚)
Music Used: I'm too tired to do it rn (Had to render this like five times :( But if someone asks for a music used in a specific part, I would gladly answer🦚!
Thumbnail's background made by a friend, I was the one who added the words.
Sorry if there are some errors, typos and all that. It's hard to notice small errors in a long video🦚

I like how the original storyboard shows him with fear expression rather than anger on the final film on that "Keep firing!" Scene. It makes such a huge difference from both. The storyboard version shows than Shen is more worrying and afraid his army is slowly losing to Po, while the final film, with that angry face shows him having too much confidence about taking down the Panda. Same with the Soothsayer scene, the original storyboard shows him with a rather sadder face, but the final film shows him kinda emotionless, as if he has no remorse or regret. They really made him more cold and evil on the movie.

12:57 It surprises how even though it is the same audio, you can notice much more how Shen knows that what he is doing is wrong, even when he frees the soothsayer, it is seen that he does it with regret.

[@TheUnusualShenFan]

Exactly, so much emotions in the storyboards, I feel so bad for him

[@tuomaspolla3814]

Shen's army was originally gonna use musket-like firearms?! And even if they made it to the film as a cameo, THEY WERE NEVER USED?! C'mon! Shen wanted to create the weapons to destroy Kung Fu and the wolf-army armed with those handheld firearms would've been very deadly adversary!

[@jennyhoek561]

The film could have gotten a PG-13 rating. I love firearms but they are nearly never used in animated films. At least there are cartoons with firearms like Regular Show

[@prayingkabutops1392]

@@jennyhoek561The Incredibles had quite a lot of firearms and it still has a PG Rating.

Ironically, Shen was meant to be a baboon for the first movie where he would've tried to poison Po at a tea party

12:50 this desing looks like a meme animation from youtube

[@agenterojoloquendo9213]

20:18 I have a theory that this image of a desperate Shen was something they had in mind when they were planning to keep him alive, where Po saves him and regrets his actions.

[@user-.wolfstudio2000]

This really made me happy and it's nice to see some storyboards with wolf boss in it since the only storyboard I know that he's in is when he was supposed to be a crow

[@TheUnusualShenFan]

yeeee, there are some where he is a crow, good that they changed him into a wolfie

Thank you for putting my microwaved Shen drawing into the video, it made my day!

[@TheUnusualShenFan]

Your meme was just too good man, spinning evil birb!

[@MrSserpent]

They made him more evil and less redeemable in the final film

It is incredible, really, I love it, it makes me remember how beautiful, amazing and powerful KFP2 was and still is! Thank you for the video!

13:46 I like that you mention the Spanish dub, the dialogues are slightly different from the English ones and being a Spanish speaker I get the impression that it's like a different version of Gary Oldman's Shen. If you want I could translate Lord Shen's dialogues from both Spanish dubs, you just have to send me the clips ;)

[@TheUnusualShenFan]

Augh thankie, but I speak Spanish already, sometimes their dub is better than the original

[@delinquentlord581]

What about that one deleted scene of the final fight when Po try to talk fo him out of it

[@TheUnusualShenFan]

Ain't pinning this, but I would've loved for this to be the 1k special (if I ever get to that number) but I couldn't wait 🦚
