Jack Black Breaks Down the 'Kung Fu Panda' Movies | Entertainment Weekly 

Here’s why Kung Fu Panda is amazing. You have a franchise everyone can connect with that deals with serious topics like identity, family, and trust, but with bright colorful lovable characters.

The 3rd one would've been so much better if they kept that scrapped scene of Po's biological father's POV of Shen's attack on the village and him leading the others to the new mountain village.

I'm a full grown woman and I saw it in the theater opening week & i rewatch the 1st Kung Fu Panda regularly, to treat my inner child. It's so perfect 💜

Jack Black fits the role so much even his beard looks like a panda 😂

Jack Black is a national treasure who should be cherished and protected. “If you can do it thrice, then something rad that rhymes with thrice happens.” 😂❤

Jack Black is the best comedian from The School Of Rock, Shark Tale, King Kong, Nacho Libre, Tropic Thunder, Gulliver's Travels, Jumanji, The Super Mario Bros to Kung Fu Panda!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Jack Black is just as Iconic as Jim Carrey.

I love how much love and passion he has for playing Po and these films. It shines through so much. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is one of the best animated franchises in history

Jack Black has ruled my childhood for years when I was only just a kid that loved watching films that he was always In from action adventures like King Kong, up to comedies like Nacho Libre, and as well as my all-time favorite Dreamworks animated franchises In Kung Fu Panda. I can't wait to see KFP 4 this weekend on Saturday!🥳 🐼

8:17 Love that Hans Zimmer is the composer!!

Jack black is an awesome dude this new kung fu panda is great I can’t wait for the next movies

Saw kung fu panda one in theaters when i was in kindergarten. Now I'm 20 years old

I can’t thank you enough Jack for bringing such an important character into my life. My son has autism, and was going through a rough period of dealing with bullies and feeling like such an outsider. I had the inspiration to tell him “Po didn’t fit in either, until he figured out what made him so special. And he saved king fun just by being himself. And now he’s the Dragon Warrior.” So after some time and self reflection, I can look at my son at any moment and go “Who are you?” And he always looks at me and answers “The Dragon Warrior” every single time. So thank you, for showing my baby that he’s the Dragon Warrior❤

Jack black is literally human po😂

Greatest and most wholesome man known to mankind?

I personally love Kung Fu Panda 2 the best out of the first three. Seeing the 4th one on Tuesday

Hmm... personally favorite to least: 2 1 3 4 It was clear a lot of people noticed the story was lacking and had a few plot holes.

They definitely paid him to say the 4th one was his favourite

Jack black as Po truly 100% suits the character.

KFP4 had probably the most lacking story but I still enjoyed it!

Has anyone wondered one thing? If the chameleon has everyone’s power, then why didn’t she use Kai’s power to steal chi?

He’s a real life character that’s why he is so likable. I love Po first because it was played by Jack Black now I love the movies. Never change you are truly one of a kind nothing but love and good wishes for you. ❤❤❤ God Bless.

I can’t believe Hans Zimmer worked on these movies. It’s amazing that a living legend like him got to work his magic on the scores for these charming films. Wouldn’t change it!

Bro, Po taught me the most important lesson of my life. If you can be one with and love yourself, you don't need to feel lonely for anyone else. Just be happy with who you are. Your awesome self

As much as I love this franchise I feel the 4th movie wasn't needed. Po is still young to already be retiring as an action hero to a mere teacher and already passing the Dragon Warrior title. Why does Awkwafina keep getting voice work? The Chameleon was told she couldn't do Kung fu because she was short, Shifu and Mantis: "Good story bro." Jack: "Kung fu Panda 4 has one of the best casts in cinema history" The cast of the very first movie: Him, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, James Hong, Ian McShane and Michael Clark Duncan.

I've heard people saying that Kung Fu Panda 4 isn't good but Jack Black himself said it's his favourite one. It can't be bad if he likes it more then the first three. Edit: Just to clarify I haven’t seen the movie yet

I own the entire jack black 3 dvd movie collection witch includes nacho libry school of rock and Orange County I really thoughtku fu panda would show up in that collection

Everyone knew that po is Jack black in animal animation form! lol 😂

If you’ve seen Jumanji, you know this man can act.

My ranking is 2,3,1,4 with the fact that I like and enjoy all of these movies and will watch any of them

5:33 I wonder how much they paid him to say that. And like, everything afterwards

His voice is the same as the kungfu panda😮😮

The world never fails to amaze me with movies

Jack black is the definition of be yourself

I really like this movie series! Thank you Jack!

Love the Kung Fu Panda movies, watched them with my granddaughters! Thank you Mr. Black

I'm getting an uncle Iroh thumbnail in the recommendations feed while watching this, and now I think *Jack Black would make an awesome uncle Iroh*. Even if he's not asian, they look very much alike!

this man carried our childhoods on his back

DONT YOU KNOOOOOWWWWWWW I STILL BELIEVE.

I love this man

Ok can tenacious d do crazy train now? I'll take anything but now that's in my head ❤

Love and honor always!!

This man is my childhood

He can’t brush over 2 like that

he is looking like dennis ritchie , mother of all programmng language

shouldve been a tai lung redemption arc and the moment he became the dragon warrior

I would watch KPF 4 since I watched it when I was little

Is Kung fu panda 5 going to come

That's what I sound like too when I lie.

I love the 4th one. It lacked some exposition for the chameleon but otherwise it learned from the mistakes made in the 3rd one, especially with the humor.

OK Jack black I have five questions One is about Po the other is about the voice

first movie was imo

0:58 I’ll tell ya’all how: I’m fzckin’ Jack black🫦

What’s up with pronunciation? - 10:04 “Wouwiolr”

I like how his beard is striped

Kung Fu Panda 1 was awesome, 2 was awesome, 3 was awesome and 4: Uh...

Hans Zimmer is truly the GOAT

❤❤❤

8:30 Ozzy Osbourne KKKKK

There making super Mario Bros movie 2 and I hope Bowser returns Jack Black is the goat

jack black makes everything better 😂

Oh yes! Hit me baby was a great choice!

Imo KFP4 is the weakest of the 4 movies

Wait he voiced bowser

It’s a fun film. I enjoyed it. However , it kind of has the same plot as Cars 3

♥️♥️♥️

Not gonna lie i’m a bit disappointed. i adore jack black, i think the man is contagious just with his voice and personality not to mention his ability to act. but i gotta say kung fu panda has so much depth in it, it’s seem like he doesn’t know about it, or at least cannot talk about it. i mean like the fact that the whole series is a transition of po from a nobody to a master in which every movie preset a different stage or that every little plot twist was foreseen by oogway, i think a breakdown should at least acknowledge that little info. And i swear i can go on and on about this movie. it’s such a masterpiece, and i do love jack black, i just wanted to hear him say those things from his perspective.

Close your eyes and imagine po speaking

Let’s not forget envy

Love how he encourages the kids not to meet him, so they can keep their imagination and creative minds in the panda! 😂

Where’s everyone watching it

Do yourself a favour and close your eyes while you listen 😄

Jack Black: Po's a lot closer to who I really am. Me: I knew it! Big ol' teddy bear confirmed! Seriously though, mad respect, dude. First time I ever saw him was in the movie "School of Rock" and had been a big fan ever since.

1,2,3 was good. 4 was ok

Sounds like majin buu

hes kung fu panda

Jb❤

Nah 4th had zero emotion straight up like mid comedy and then we had a cringe final boss that wasn’t able to do shot unless it took forms of one specific martial artist but how did the chameleon take pos appearance without his Chi?

Kung Fu Panda 4 defiantly nailed it with the Perfect Cell villain.

OK

Jack Black, you are lying there is no way this one was your favorite get real bro

Watch it with the spoilers jack!

A 100

Who's ready to see Kung Fu Panda 5 ?

Who gonna play Bowsette tho?

Is it me, or has David Spade been saying skadoosh for 25 years or more?

recent movie was trash, although I like the serise

Little Girl: No that’s a man 🥺

2:47 The first one was not only successful and one of dream works best films, but it produced a sequel that proved the series isn't a fluke 3:40 schdoose people started saying that all time, nacho libre that was another great film, eagle powers 6:20 people are saying the fourth one isn't the best one but I'll take it, it's gotten me to rewatch the movies, viola davis makes a good villain 6:33 I just watched the first one again, yeah Tai Lung was virtually unbeatable, it was a miracle po did beat him, I think that's largely what made the first movie so good, it was this build up of this unlikely hero against impossible odds, but somehow still pulling through and succeeding. By the fourth one he's a veteran of kung fu, he's sort of like the kung fu master from the beginning sequence of the kung fu legend, he's wearing the same garb, his skills have gone up to almost that level

What Jack Black mean about break down the "Kung Fu Panda" movies, that he will be retired?

Sup

Dude bailed on his RU-vid channel like most actors when the pandemic was over.

I personally see Kung fu panda as a trilogy, im sorry but kung fu panda 4 felt more of a side thing than a 4th movie, when I think of kung fu panda, I don't think of Kung fu panda 4, it was also extremely lacking in story/overall writing and they sidelined both Po and the Furious Five for awkwafina and it had way too much comedy even for a kung fu panda movie.

Dang jack black has aged

I was fan of him until I seen king fu panda 4.!!!! Shame one you for tryna mess with lil kids minds. That’s fukin sick

8:34 fire him. Fire mike mitchel for being so stupid and ruining the franchise

Im sure J Black works for LGBT

4: unnecessary

Mike Mitchell was a terrible director for this series. Hope the last 2 don't include him.

I love you Jack, I do... 4 sucked, and three was meh.
