Uncle Iroh vs Master Oogway - Animatic

Welcome to my dream fight animation! This has been in production for over two years and unfortunately has fallen into somewhat of a development hell. It is unclear what kind of timeline we are looking at to finish this thing, but it could likely be years. Given that I need to end the channel soon, I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you what we have been cooking so that you are guaranteed to see at least part of it.
This animation is incredibly meaningful to me, and I think the team's passion comes through in every frame. I especially want to thank our animator, Riley, as none of this would have been possible without their passion and talent.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Absolute PEAK. Everything, that first interaction with the two meeting and Oogway legitimately having no idea who Irho even was but trusting him to have fire is such an Oogway move that it’s scary, and Irho preferring to avoid conflict with games and crying over the spilled tea is in absolute character for him. The reason for fighting being a tea pot is simple yet accurate to make a friendly spar, and that you are free to eat reference is absolute mastery of character interaction. The fight, how both acted and reacted, it all felt so natural, like running water, I must also give credit with the dialogue in how wise it sounded. I really hope this one day gets finished, but just with this alone you and your team have already made a master class in character interaction.

[@user-sk3ir1gh4j]

2 powerful masters fighting for tea this is cannon u can’t change my mind!!!

[@RaichuWizDom]

Even incomplete, this is fantastic at a concept level. It's easy to assume that Iroh is fully spiritually enlightened and wouldn't have anything to learn from a character like Oogway, but we know from Season 2 and his opinion on the Avatar state that Iroh does think material pleasures are important, he was always more the type to stick around and guide others (like the classic idea of an avatar) than to move on and reach enlightenment (like the classical Buddha figures). He also still has his berserk buttons, and his own trauma that isn't fully processed, perhaps not even after death. The fact that he asks for the teapot in the first place is another subtle way to show that. Likewise, it'd be easy to portray Oogway as a full master, a near godlike character in the spirit realm. But we know from the third film that in terms of raw power, he can be overwhelmed. He has his limits, and he can reach them in a fight. Balancing those two out and making it look believable has a lot of potential pitfalls, and they were avoided nicely. And then there's all the little things: Iroh's tired of fighting, but Oogway would know deep down that sometimes fighting's necessary. Iroh turns to the chain as his weapon, which is nice (unintended?) symbolism of being chained to the past, or a good callback to when he got caught by the Earth soldiers in Season 1. Lots of little things others have pointed out already, but my favourite is at the end: neither of them introduces themselves as 'master,' but they both acknowledge the other as masters of their craft during or after the fight. There's none of the needless antagonism that creeps into crossovers like this so often. And, you know, sometimes what's not there is just as or even more important than what is.

[@crossovercolosseum680]

I am so glad you picked up on all of that! We put a LOT of thinking and planning into the fight. I am glad it worked for you!

That is definitely very much how I'd imagine an Iroh and Oogway interraction to go, constantly bickering and having fun whilst being total badasses. They are both legendary characters and I'd say on an equal ground when it comes to their skill and power with their respective arts. Honestly I'm not even a tad bit disappointed that this animation is not done and is in a half-animatic half-fully fledged animation stage, it kind of gives it a lot of charm, except for some details where it's near-impossible to tell what is actually going on.

Sweet! When this wasn't on the list of episodes that would be released awhile back, I didn't think I'd get to see it. A shame since it seemed like the one you guys were the most invested in. Even in mostly storyboard form it still works. Mostly carried by the very solid voice acting, but the bits of more fleshed out animation are nice and gets the story across. I always like the occasional friendly matchup, like Ken vs Terry or Guy vs All Might. RIP that tea. Just watched The Last Airbender for the first time last year with a friend, and it absolutely lives up to its reputation. The cast is rock solid across the board, and Iroh is pretty much pop culture's last great father figure.

So glad you enjoyed it!

An absolutely incredible work, even if only in the storyboards, I'm glad it's finally seeing the light of day. This was the single episode I was the most excited for, and even just this makes me incredible happy. I adore these characters. Wonderful work to everyone involved, and hopefully it can be fully completed someday!

Thank you so much!

the voice acting is immaculate and brought me to tears thinking of how much these two characters have meant to me and my childhood

[@tyrannosauruswrex123]

I really don't think these two would actually fight each other. They're both very wise and intelligent people

[@CherryBlossom-mh6vv]

Im now imagining if iroh redirected the lighting back like gannandorf ping pong

[@mariojordan9543]

This was beautiful and it breaks my heart that we might ever see this in ita fullest. Amazing job Ink, and amazing job Riley, and to the rest of the team❤

Thank you so much!

Bruh imagine if the big franchises all got together and planned out actual (non-canon) crossovers like this. Infinite potential and plus they can actually exploit the full power of the multiverse concept.

This animation is absolutely gorgeous!! And all the little callbacks to the show, like Irohs fire breath and his fit change, amazing! Of course, Oogway showing exactly who taught Shifu those tricks is priceless ❤❤

[@aitorignacio2657]

This is peak and i can totally see why its your dream proyect, i hope someday you guys can finish it, the pasion in this is so clear the whole six minutes

[@crossovercolosseum680]

Thank you!

[@Goostopus7318]

This was phenomenal

[@krazycris3901]

Not only is this expertly drawn , but it is also shows just how much you appreciate them both by how you iroh and master oogways voices and traits. The earth to fire sswap in irohs cloths and love for tea were a great touch and with the cheeky but wise personality of a long lived master of oogway and the mirror of shifua training with po 10/10

[@EBThisThat]

This is perfection in all shapes and forms. As a tea connoisseur, Iroh’s reaction makes perfect sense ! ❤

[@charge_down-22]

I love it. Even if unfinished this will surely be one of the greatest fight animations ive ever seen. You can truly tell how much passion went into this.

[@crossovercolosseum680]

Thank you so much! It means a lot to know people loved it
