The line that makes me tear up when I realised the connection to the rest of the film, “I’m not hungry.”. You connect it back to when Oogway says he eats when he’s upset. He finally found happiness in Kung Fu.

Well spotted. I hadn't connected those two scenes. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@sam-psonsmith9951]

I never noticed, but they hinted at the Secret ingredient part, when Po made Noodles for the Five. He said his Soup was fine, but his Dads was much better, because he doesn't know the secret Ingredient. And Monkey responds with: "I don't know what you are talking about, this is amazing!".

[@ceebee2]

Tai Lung is honestly my favorite villain of the trilogy and certainly with the greatest potential for a redemption arc. Notice that when Tai Lung sees his reflection in the scroll he says, “it’s *nothing*,” which is a literal direct reflection of how he sees himself. Po says “it’s blank,” indicating that he sees the potential in himself.

[@almas4663]

I just LOVE how in his final fight with Tai Lung, Po uses all the tricks he learned throughout the movie... He bounces back at Tai Lung after Tai Lung delivers the first blow, just like Po's training dummy hit him back. He falls of the stairs, managing to land on top of Tai Lung. He uses his weight to hold up a tree before hitting Tai Lung with, like when he himself got hit with bamboo. He uses "chopsticks" to trick Tai Lung with the scroll. He uses noodles to snatch the scroll from him. He uses fireworks to catch up to him. He uses food motivation with cookies to clime to the scroll. He uses his fat foreshadowed with acupuncture.

[@reactswithjax]

This is one of the best parts of the film! Po's journey became so useful in the final fight scene!!

[@7thsealord888]

@@reactswithjax It's a popular idea in legends and classic literature, called 'The Hero's Journey'. The Hero embarks on a great quest, undergoes all sorts of trials and tribulations during his journey. When he finally faces the Great Enemy, the stuff he learned along the way all comes together and enables him to win. KF Panda does this especially well.

[@spdcrzy]

Overlooked part of Po: He's a REALLY good student. When he applies himself to something, he picks it up very quickly - that's why both his noodles and his fighting are so good. AND it's also why he was able to teach himself the Wuxi Finger Hold.

[@user-EricWatson55]

You're gonna love this one! 😂

[@eva1585]

I read a comment on another reaction that adds to this and how the Wuxi Finger Hold actually ties into the whole theme of the movie aswell. So the director said that the finger hold isnt actually real, but something masters use to scare their students with. The theory is (and i say theory 'cause i cant remember if its confirmed) that Po made the Wuxi Finger Hold real simply by believing in it. "To make something special you just have to believe its special".

[@federicotognazzi445]

Great reaction with this first and iconic chapter. Now you need to watch the second one. It's a little bit more serious and with the best villain. Kung Fu Panda 2 is a masterpiece.

[@reactswithjax]

I'm excited to watch the second one now!! This should be fun!

[@johndaily263]

I love how nearly every part of his training comes around during the climactic fight. The punching dummy bouncing back, like he does. Bouncing down the stairs. The dumplings. The shuffling bowls/pots. The difficulty of finding his nerves. Basically there are too many wonderful things about this movie to recap. And I so much want to be Oogway when I grow up. Amazing film.

[@reactswithjax]

[@matthewbibby8921]

Also, because Tai Lung lacks discipline, instead of actually solving the problem properly, he tries forcing his way through instead, such as with the cup game.

Dreamworks has some really great stuff in its catalog. The How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda trilogies are the studio at its best, but the first 2 Shrek films, Puss in Boots 2, Megamind, Prince of Egypt, and several other films are 100% worth checking out too. The peak of Dreamworks legit rivals peak Pixar.

[@johndaily263]

Megamind is indeed wonderful. I think in terms of raw entertainment, DreamWorks probably has the edge. Pixar tends to be more experimental with their stories, takes more risks.

[@kenfreeman8888]

This movie has such depth, even to the fact that when Po saw himself in the scroll he says "It's blank" -- like a blank slate: capable of anything if you believe in yourself, but when Tai Lung looks at his own reflection he says, "It's nothing," as if he were nothing without some external magic.

[@reactswithjax]

I love that! ❤️ There were so many gems of wisdom in this film.

[@smileyhappyface5864]

I think Tai lungs reaction really showed how the dreams he was raised with made him see the world.

[@starcrafter13terran]

Tai Lung didn't understand the deeper meaning in Kung Fu. Yes, you work hard to achieve a black belt someday, but in time that belt becomes frayed and starts to show white. Showing that you came full circle and got to the apex of training, but you still have much to learn.

I remember going to see this in theaters when I was 13 years old. It definitely had me laughing, but I also almost cried when Master Oogway passed. Then of course my favorite heartwarming moment was when Mr. Ping told Po about the secret ingredient. There’s no secret to success. The moral is that you just have to believe in yourself. You are your greatest weapon. And people may laugh about Po being Mr. Ping’s son, but family isn’t always about blood. Po didn’t grow up alone. Mr. Ping raised him, and that makes him his father.

[@reactswithjax]

One thing I really love about the ending is that Po's fatness, the thing he's been mocked for and feels so bad about, is what ultimately blocks Tai Lung's nerve attack. It winds up being his secret weapon that defeats Tai Lung's secret weapon. Perfect writing.

[@kenle2]

​@@TimoRutanen Po is an exemplar of the "soft master" in martial arts. They don't usually use direct blows. Their style is to shift with, absorb or redirect their adversaries blows. They wear out their opponents and make them defeat themselves.

[@K-11609]

There are so many different layered meanings and callbacks in this film that when watching it again make you feel like you're experiencing something completely new. Two of my personal favorites are: Oogway's "I don't know" callback when Shifu is pressured by Po to answer how he'll teach him. In many ways Shifu is taking on Oogway's role even accepting that he doesn't know everything (the illusion of control) Second was when Po and Tai Lung look at the scroll, it's a reflection of themselves (both figuratively and literally). Po first sees the scroll and is immediately scared symbolizing the fear he feels in taking up the mantle of the Dragon Warrior. Tai Lung's first reaction to the scroll is "It's nothing!?" symbolizing how much he wasted trying to reach an impossible goal.

[@reactswithjax]

What great insight on this movie! I love that this movie contains so many layers of wisdom.

[@johnrobertson6318]

As a stress eater myself, the significance of Po saying that he wasn't hungry was appreciated

[@warbacca1017]

2 months late but those "swords" as you referred to them were actually more like acupuncture needles meant to keep tai lung immobilized. And you might consider it (as well as the boulders on the ends of the chains) a kind of torture, but also consider this; the stronger soneone/something is, the more drastic measures that might be needed to contain them/it. And considering how strong tai lung is, he mightve considered those less of a torture and more of an inconvenience.

[@reactswithjax]

Aah, very true! Tia Lung may not have thought of that as torture or being very painful, considering his strength. Great point!

[@_-NatureMations-_]

The sad thing is that Tai Lung is 100% correct. Shifu filled his head with dreams and made him feel like he had been destined, and all his hard work did not pay off. He had a right to be angry, he hasd a right to believe it was deserved, because it was deserved before everything happened

Master Oogway is blowing out candles one by one, only for Sifu to impatiently extinguish all of them as quickly as possible.

as a martial artist myself, i really enjoyed this. i first watched it before i took martial arts. but watched it again after learning for a few years. the animals they used in this movie are some of the basic animals (and fighting styles) we use in what i learn. and i found it amusing that, after watching it himself, my head instructor (an 8th degree master with over 35 years experience) said the animals in this don't fight like the animals themselves would....but like humans fighting in the style of those animals would.

What Master Oogway used to stop Tai Lung and what Tai Lung was using to paralyze the Furious Five was hitting pressure points....similar to how acupuncture works.

[@janekotoole8751]

Great reaction, as always, your smile and laughter are everything 😃Although I still find it kinda interesting that most reactors who are watching these "kid's movies" are adults, and they absolutely love them. There are a lot of things in these movies that aren't meant for kids, and that kids usually don't get until they watch them again as adults. And the voice actors. I mean, if Jack Black, Jackie Chan, and Angelina Jolie made a live action movie with the same jokes, story, and scenes, people wouldn't call it a kid's movie, but rather an action comedy. Sure, there are animated movies that are for kids (and a lot of kid's movies that aren't animated), but they usually don't have this kind of quality, budget, cast, and writing. Two of my favourite movie franchises of all time, regardless of genre, are How To Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. And it was a long time ago I was a kid 😁 Short version: I wish people would stop calling these movies kid's movies, it makes me question my age 😊

I've seen the movie ever since it came out and I just realized, in my 26, that Oogway said "if you lose the illusion of control". Means he always knew Po was the dragon warrior (explains in the 3rd movie why and how), but it just hit me that what Po was or was not was always predestined. "If somebody could make me not me, was you, the greatest master of China". But he was always the dragon warrior, and Oogway knew that.

The residents have unique kung-fu abilities including flying. Try to watch with subtitles as the dubbed version are very different in translation.

[@samuelvincent557]

This movie is one of those rare ones that stands up to the test of time. It was beautifully crafted, and they couldn't have done better than Jack Black to voice Po. And I love HOW Po was able to defeat Ty Lung. They made hints throughout the movie too. Ty Lung said he was a warrior like the world had never seen. Shifu said he couldn't train him like the others. Po learned Kung Fu in an entirely new way. One that Ty Lung was unfamiliar with. Ty Lung knew every scroll, every lesson and style. So he knew every attack, every counter and defense. But not Po's style. He was a complete unknown, so his training and skill was not, anywhere, near as good as he would be against a conventional fighter. There is a saying, "The greatest swordsman does not fear the second greatest. He fears the worst." Because the worst won't fight in a predictable or even logical way, that the greatest is used to. Reflexes will be wrong. That was Po's advantage in this fight. That and fat isa REALLY good protection to blunt force attacks. You'll bruise easier and it'll hurt more, but your bones and internal organs will take less damage.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Yeah, Po's physical resilience combined with his mental tenacity -- both of which were demonstrated from the very beginning -- created his greatest advantage.

In some fantasy kungfu, its basically like using the Force from Star Wars to Force Push someone. 22:50 Ugui the tortoise, used a 'martial art' technique which involves striking specific nerve points which can either paralyze or put someone in an unconscious state due to the 'blocking of qi' points.

🐼👍 Dreamworks CGI cartoons are generally even more loaded with celebrity vocal talent than Disney/Pixar's. This is the case with both their franchises ("Kung Fu Panda," "Shrek" "Madagascar" etc) and their one-offs ("Monsters Vs. Aliens," "Over The Hedge," "Flushed Away" etc). In general you can't go wrong watching any CGI animation features, although some releases are clearly a cut above the others.

[@smavtmb2196]

This franchise is adorable and fun. Jax your reactions and sense of humor is so entertaining. Very endearing. Another animated movie definitely worth watching is The Iron Giant from 1999.

[@eliscoby3242]

I love how Oogway always says the right thing and foreshadows perfectly. "One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it," Tai lung wouldn't have escaped if Shifu didnt send yhe messenger

Her smile is contagious

Thank you! ❤️

Top 10 smiles to have ever existed. Seriously, you have a super power. Istant stress releif. Instant feelings of happiness coming out if seemingly nowhere. Your smile is like watching a triangle peg go into a triangle hole or watching someone walk in the door, fling their hat 30 ft across the room to perfectly land on a hat rack, swing around a few times, and confidently land in its intended place. (Edit: seeing -> swing)

[@reactswithjax]

Aww, thank you so much! What a lovely compliment! ❤️

[@jordank1813]

@@reactswithjax yeah of course. I was debating on further explanation without making it weird but screw it. It's not just your smile, but your genuine emotions. Longer ago than I remember I began guarding my emotions with a forever poker face. Putting up false or even slightly altered smiles became an every day norm. I realized a few things during this video. First, most everyone, if not everyone I interact with does the same thing I do and Im not sure when the last time was I saw a true, unfiltered emotion on someones face. Second, one of the reasons I found your smile so alluring is the honesty behind it. Your facial expressions seem to be directly connected to your emotions without any filter so when I see your smile, in every inch of my being I instantly trust your smile like I'm looking into your soul and seeing your raw feelings. It's honestly one of the bravest things I have ever seen from someone and it deeply moves me and obviously so many other people. I'm going to work on getting rid of my never ending poker face. LOL not what I was expecting when I watched someone watch Kung Fu Panda. (If you think this is weird, I won't mind if you delete it)

[@reactswithjax]

@@jordank1813 Thank you so much for sharing this! This was such a delightful, yet unexpected, response to my Kung Fu Panda reaction. I love it! ❤ I'm glad you had such a positive experience.

[@jacobchandler7642]

This trilogy is amazing; so glad you're watching it through! It took me a while to notice, but when Tai Lung claims the scroll and sees his reflection, the frame shows us his disappointed expression. "It's nothing!?" I used to think he was talking about the scroll being blank, but through the lens of the movie's theme, you realize he's talking about himself. Contrast that with Po smiling at his reflection a few frames later. Such a poignant illustration of the power of self-love and self-belief.

[@reactswithjax]

I love that perspective! Thanks for sharing that. ❤️

[@starcrafter13terran]

Maybe Shifu took Po to the spring to let him see his reflection before he saw the scroll?

[@jacobchandler7642]

@@starcrafter13terran Re-watching through that lens, I do think that moment is important. Especially since that scene is bookended by Shifu finding Po in the pantry and seeing his untapped potential, followed by a scene where he tells Po he needs to use a new method to train him. Both of those moments are about harnessing Po's unique gifts to his advantage, which is in stark contrast to when Po told Shifu earlier that he believed the only way to succeed was if he wasn't himself. And that whole sequence DEFINITELY contrasts to Tai Lung's character, which is all about seeking something external (the Dragon Scroll) to fill an internal need.

[@PrinceIMC]

One of the fun parts about this movie is that the fearsome 5 are named after their animals but they never mention Shifu’s species…..he’s meant to be a red panda.

[@andyk446]

This movie was a sleeper hit. Wasnt expecting much but like How To Train Your Dragon, it went way above expectations. Glad you enjoyed it too. 😀 BTW, what Master Oogway did do Tai Lung was essentially hitting the pressure points and disturbing the flow of chi.

[@reactswithjax]

Thanks for explaining the pressure points! This movie was so much better than I expected. It makes me so excited to watch the rest of the trilogy 🎉

[@drakke125Channel]

How to Train Your Dragon , and Kung Fu Panda movies are the BEST. You can never go wrong with Dreamworks! No unnecessary weird messages and they're usually very wholesome and family friendly in the right ways.

[@toptrends88]

The sequels to Kung Fu Panda are just as good as the original. Love your reaction ❤

[@reactswithjax]

How fun! I can't wait to see them! ❤️

[@josealmeida2842]

Bruce Lee represented learning a new skill with the Yin and Yang symbol in three steps. The first is the Yin and Yang apart from each other symbolizing lack of proficiency. The second is the Yin and Yang together symbolizing proficiency. And the third is blank symbolizing that you can use the skill without thought. If you’ve ever done a chore or or typed words on a computer without thinking about it. Then you have achieved the third level in that feat. Although any wise man will tell you there is no end to improving yourself. There is always something you can improve on.

[@feldegast]

your positivity is great, it makes your reactions so special I look forward to the next one :)

[@reactswithjax]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@nicknajera]

Those times when they were getting hit and showed the light coming from them are pressure points

There she is w/those big blue 👀 & that sunshine smile! You're gonna LOVE this trilogy

If the rest of the movies are anything like this one, I'm sure I will adore them!

[@ulisesmagana4413]

9:09 “How interesting” I love after watching the 3rd movie it makes sense why he said that.

[@reactswithjax]

Oooh! I have to see the third movie now! After the second one, of course.

[@granadosvm]

My favorite is the second one. I wonder if you gave 10 out of 10 to this one, what rating you are going to give to the second one. I hope you come back to this moment after you have seen the entire trilogy: 9:08

[@reactswithjax]

I'm excited for the next movie! I'll keep that moment in mind when watching the rest of the movies!

[@_-NatureMations-_]

What Oogway said about ''One often meets his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it'' was partially forshadowing how Shifu's messanger got Tai lung free, but also how he saw Darkness in Tai lung and denied himthe scroll, making that darkness exist in the first place. He was speaking from expirience!

[@jewelrana9910]

"How deep and dark can be a story of animation movie?" Kung fu panda 2:- yes!

[@reactswithjax]

Oh gosh! I can't wait for movie number 2

I watched this movie a lot of times and never knew about that scene in the end 🤦 Great react Jax i had a lot of fun with it, glad you liked the movie 🤗

[@reactswithjax]

Haha! Well, I'm glad we both saw it for the first time then!

[@tk72231968]

These are great animations..nice reaction Jax. Looking forward to your CA:Winter Soldier...by far my favorite MCU movie. 😁👍

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I'm looking forward to sharing Winter Soldier with you!! 🎉

18:00 according to the second movie (not a spoiler) those pins WERE in Tai lungs back as an acupuncture restriction. Apparently they get tighter the more you move.

[@reactswithjax]

Oooh! Thank you!

[@FeastForThought]

casual viewer: How high could the stakes be? It's an animation movie... 6:53 Jax: Everybody in this town is going to DIE!!! 😂

[@reactswithjax]

Hahahaha! I take movies stakes very seriously! 😂

[@jewelrana9910]

😂

[@moonshinethics]

This actually gave me a weird thought about the advancements of computer graphics and now artificial intelligence. So like what if in the future animated movies are made with sentient AI characters and in a scene like 6:53 the characters would in actuality be killed?

[@kayreeves2000]

People love kung fu panda because even if it's not authentic chinese culture it is a ode or like a love letter to chinese culture and old kung fu movies. Po in this movie is like that one nerdy kid who loves and knows small trivia about that stuff (like that one kid who knows everything about stars wars and d&d)like when he first went to the hall of heroes he knew about a vase, an armor other stuffs. He loves it so much that even in his dream he sees himself doing awesome kung fu stuff. Shifu and others being mean to Po is like think of it as you work so hard for a promotion at job and there comes this newbie who just joined and is selected for that role accidentally. And the training montage with shifu it's picked straight from the old kung fu movies where an older eccentric master teaches the protagonist new stuff and test them out using food( one of the famous scene is about a old man and his student fighting over some chicken.) Ohh man there are so many stuffs like the magic press like stuff that master oogway did to tai long at the explanation why he was locked up is like pressure point/meridian/acupuncture with a little bit of mystical aspect with glowing and others like the old swords and magic chinese movies where a protagonist cultivates his body and spirit using medicinal pills, techniques, meditation etc. Its like a perfect blend of everything we love about chinese culture. Thats why it one of the great kung fu animated movie. Would recommend you to watch other sequel of this.

[@xuanzedeng402]

The kungfu skill that OOugwei and Tai Lung used to make somebody hold still is called 点穴{diǎn xué},which is a kungfu skill that exists in legends and myths. you could reckon this as fictive skill(in real life some professional people sometimes would use it but not for fight and cannot reach the effect like in the movie) but it has been in lots of chinese kungfu novels because it's cool.

[@reactswithjax]

Awesome! Thanks for explaining that!

[@user-EricWatson55]

PO is going to get to know alot about those stairs. 😂
