Well a major plot point is lifted pretty much exactly from the Journey(s) to the West. Kind of a spoiler though. By the way this always irks me about classic stories. People gloss over plot twists becuase they either already know them and don't even try to imagine what the expected outcome was or completely not realise they are there. The Ramayana is an especially riddled with this problem as while it is partially meant to be a historical-ish account like people expect it to be it is mostly comedy (like an ancient version of "History of the Entire World, I Guess") with the story basically turning into a parody of the hero genre, as most of the main cast take everything extremely unseriously, while still doing everything expected of a holy book. The Ramayana especially has a recurring gag of being basically nothing but plot twists, so when you don't realise they exist it removes much of the point of the tale and a lot of its ultimate messages. Plot twists are brilliant in classics, but they do require an appreciation that they are plot twists and deliberately subvert the previous narrative, not flow from it.

No, We don't believe that it is a great example of Chinese culture, we saw it as a great representation of Western affection toward Chinese culture. It was like a love letter from American filmmakers to China. So we appreciated and adored it. Therefore, it's more about the intentions behind the Kung Fu Panda more than the film itself. I can safely tell you that it is not an accurate depiction of Chinese culture.

I love films like this and Book of Life, where you can tell it's someone having fun with stories they grew up on, and they're excited to celebrate their identity. Whereas the best-case scenario for white-people-retellings have more of a book report vibe, where they carefully display everything they've learned while researching the setting. (These can be good too Coco was fun please don't @ me.) There's such a tangible difference in storytelling and I just think that's neat.

Ironically, it deals with grief in the exact opposite direction. Miguel (and his family) learns that, even in death, his family will always have each other's back; Fei Fei and Chang'e learn to move on because otherwise they would sacrifice their relationships and emotional health by refusing to let go of someone who can't come back. Fun Fact: Coco was going to be about Miguel learning to move on from his mom's death before they got actual Mexicans working on the movie; you could hear that bomb whistling miles away

I'd disagree, Chinese people call anyone much older auntie (Ayi) or Uncle (Shu Shu), anyone only a little older is big sister (Jie Jie) or big brother (Ge Ge), and if the are younger you say little sister (Mei Mei), little brother (Di Di), or little friend (xiao pengyou). My source is living in China and having a Chinese girlfriend who constantly teaches me the proper ways to address her friends and family. Edit: to go off of what she says in the video there are more specific names you can use for immediate family (she gives some examples in the video) but from understanding this isn't culturally required and no one will be offended if you just use the titles I listed above. However it is useful to use the more specific titles when doing things like giving toasts when you are out to dinner with the family because you have to give them to members of the family separately. You normally do that from oldest to youngest, dad's side then mom's side, so for clarification you do use the more complex titles.

Kind of neat how at 7:26 you say that in China, white is no longer the color of mourning. That it's more of an ancient thing now. But at the end, we see Chang'e wearing white when she mourns her loss of Houyi, because no matter how modern she seems to be, she's from ancient times in her core. That's a nice touch. Idk, I might be reading too much into it lol. Also Kokochin is the most adorable kitty ever.

Brazilian southeastern with northeastern grandparents (I know it's a stereotype, but bear with me pls): SAME. One time my little sister decided to adopt one of the crabs, named it "Azul" (it had some blue accents), created a house for it out of a shoebox, with a bed and different rooms and everything. She really bonded with it during the day, I'm pretty sure there are pictures of them stored somewhere, it was a whole thing. It ended up in a pot. On the same day.

Fun fact about the gay lions: I watched this movie with my best friend, and, after I saw your video on the original mulan, noticed the balls. So I turned to her and said "You know the lions are gay." She stopped the movie and went "What?" And I nodded and explained the cub and ball thing to her. I don't think she cared, but for my part, I never felt so educated in my life 😅🤣

I wasn't prepared at all for it to be about grief for a lost mother, dad remarrying, and everything that goes with it. My mom died almost 20 years ago, and I still cried like a baby and had a hard time finishing it. What an incredible gift for a parent to give to her kids. Thank you for pointing me towards it.

The “Chinese teachers are so nosy that they will make you change your hair” is definitely true. Idk if this is completely accurate but when my mom was in middle school her hair was to long and the teacher just cut it at school. Or it’s just some other story I heard somewhere else. But the teacher definitely told her to cut her hair.

In most of Nepal, we girls have two braided pig tails in like a loop or something that is tied with a red/white ribbon. Our school thought that it was a hassle so they made us keep our hair in a ponytail and braid the loose hairs lol. If you didn't braid your hair, u getting scolded honey! The guys had it hard tho like their hair couldn't touch their ear or else they would cut it completely and make them go bald. Which is quite hilarious tho. We'd come out of classes just to tease them.
