One of my favorite things in this movie is that Oogway isn't actually watching the furious 5. He's watching the back wall to see what Po does. He only says "I sense the dragon warrior is among us" AFTER Po launches himself with the tree to try and get a view! Edit: Heck! Sometimes I joke that he only chose Po to mess with Shifu!

[@benlhyenethehyena9947]

[@lordmorklen5166]

You're right about that actually, He did it to shake Shifu out of his rut. To remind him how to teach. You don't teach every student the same way, you take their innate capabilities into account and mould your methods around that. Something Shifu stopped doing after Tai Lung till he actually started teaching Po - his most hopeless project. In doing that, he prepared his student Shifu to replace him.

“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it” I saw someone else point out that it was meant for Shifu. It was the feather from the messenger that allowed Tai Lung to escape. The one Shifu sent to avoid him escaping.

[@charlie7mason]

[@christianwise637]

Also Oogway refusing to make Tai Lung the Dragon Warrior after sensing the darkness in him was what cemented him on his dark pathway. Classic self-fulfilling prophecy, in that regard Oogway was likely speaking from experience

[@thechh8297]

If Oogway hadn't said anything, would Shifu have sent someone to check, which inadvertantly released him?

[@ninaaaaishere]

What I love about this movie in particular is that it has a massive lesson to parents. You can try and make your child accomodate your aspirations, and desires. And get a Tai Lung. A world of regret for yourself and no sense of self like with Tai Lung (who, when looking at the scroll said "It's nothing!"). Or, you can accommodate for your child. Because a peach tree will remain a peach tree and will only give you peaches. A good teacher changes his teachings for his students. Doesn't force his students to understand his teachings. You can have a Po, someone that understands himself and because you believed in your child's potential.

[@erickremers3986]

I love the "I'm not hungry" line so much because it's a double metaphor, calling back to the time that we established that Po eats when he is upset, stating "I'm not upset" as well as shifu saying "when you have been trained, you may eat", with Po saying "I'm not done training".

[@ethanwilson9406]

I never thought of the "I'm not done training" angle before, neat.

[@serpentmaster1323]

I think of the second double meaning in less “I’m Not done training” and more “Eating is no longer the reason Im doing all these drills” because every drill was motivated by getting closer to food. Mainly because I feel “Im not done training” in this context makes no sense. No one who practices any art is ever “done” training, and every character in this movie knows that. The only reasonable substitution for done in this context is ‘strong enough to face ti lung’. And we know that po definitely doesn’t feel that way.

[@erickremers3986]

I see it as such by combining the context with their verbal showdown before they start fighting for the dumpling. The callback "When you have been trained, you may eat." combined with "You are free to eat" "AM I?!" "ARE YOU?!" flows into the "I'm not hungry" line as "I'm not done training" when you hear the meaning of what Shifu and Po are actually saying in that showdown, which in this context is "You have been trained" "HAVE I?!" "HAVE YOU?!" or maybe variable as "You are ready" "AM I?!" "ARE YOU?!" but the essence of the message remains regardless

[@lacko623]

@@serpentmaster1323 Yeah, I could see it more along those lines. Basically, Shifu started training Po with the need for food as a motivator, that that's the only way he can do Kung Fu. By throwing the dumpling back to Master Shifu, and exclaiming "I'm not hungry", it could be seen as "he can now do Kung Fu and fight without the need of food as a motivator".

actually, Dreamworks is making another 3 after the 3rd one.

[@earlmangwich1830]

Natalie, I love your reactions and prescience! You’d mentioned never having seen a Kung Fu movie. There are many more traditional classics with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and many more, but some of the more artistic and gorgeously wire-choreographed ones that I remember are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero (2002). You’ve mentioned accompanying music in your reviews, and these two films have striking scores.

[@andrewcrowder4958]

You have, I think, four qualities that make your reactions really helpful to me in re-interpreting things I have seen: your intense intelligence, your deep perceptiveness, your wild emotions and openness, and your industry knowledge. And you have a really good editor.

Can't believe it took me over a decade to realize Po and Sifu's story arcs were juxtaposed. One who doesn't want to disappoint his father and the other who has already disappointed his son.

I love that he's named Master Oogway since it literally translates to "tortoise" in chinese. Same for Shifu = teacher 🙏

Good god, I can't believe I never realise Oogway was just tortoise in chinese.... and I'm chinese. Spelling really threw me off compared to shifu.

Ah yep, we all got that dude.

[@aquastrategist1221]

Fun fact: "Oogway" is actually the English adaptation word to the Chinese word 乌龟 (Wu Gui) which means "Turtle" or "Tortoise". And Master Shifu is English for 师父 (Shi fu) which also means "Master" or "Teacher"

[@JustKrin]

You can see that the filmmakers treat all the culture with respect. My favorite detail (that someone else pointed) was in the second movie when the explosion occurs at the bay and they are doing the pose that represents the move they are named after

One small detail that makes me feel bad for Tai Lung. When looking at the scroll, he says "It's nothing." in response to seeing himself (his reflection) He can't accept that true power comes from within. He didn't see himself as special on the inside. He felt as though he wasn't since he was denied a destiny, that his father figure tried to guide him towards.

I hope you'll continue the trilogy! Everything great about the first movie, is made even better in the second!

My parents have only ever watched the first one, and they enjoyed it so I sat down one evening with my mom and we watched Kung Fu Panda 2. She LOVED this one (technically the first time I saw it too but I had watched enough clips online to figure the important stuff out) also if you like to hear about "behind the scenes stuff" the Director's commentary for this movie has set such a high standard I have for other movies.

[@issacgomez587]

[@jackpartmann532]

Let’s gooo!!! Ok not gonna lie guys the scene where he and Shi Fu are fighting over the dumpling and then bow to each other outta respect at the end is still one of my favorite scenes out of this entire series, maybe even one of my favorite movie scenes in general!

[@SoloJona]

When Po says "I'm not hungry", that's the best mic drop in the history of Dreamworks

[@MissingDormouse1]

Oogway realised Po is hungry when he's upset. That moment is cool but touching, because it means he's not anxious anymore, hes happy and proud about his progress.

[@henrytjernlund]

And the fight is never mean spirited in any way. It is a training exercise. and doesn't de-evolve.

I have to say, it's been a while since I watched one of your videos (since the LotR reacts) and wow, your editing style has really improved even if it's not what others would call constant and flashy, the aesthetics you display in the minimalist amount you put into this video is very well done! Kung Fu Panda is a great movie (and series), very glad you decided to watch it. It's gotta be up there as one of the greater animation movie franchises for me.
