Kung Fu Panda Reaction | First Time Watching 

Even though the second movie is definitely the best of the franchise with the best villain, Tai Lung is my favourite character of the trilogy. There is not a single weaker scene with Tai Lung. Ian Mcshane's delivery is *chef's kiss*. His relationship with Shifu is so well written and the lines: "What I ever did, I did to make you proud! Tell me how proud you are Shifu. Tell me. Tell me!" gives me shivers every single time.

That look in Tai Lungs eyes when Shifu apologized before he went back to raging on Shifu. Like once he apologized Tai Lung thought for a second "Maybe this isn't worth it" at least that's the symbolism I got.

It feels like everyone is just starting to watch Kung Fu Panda but its great to see these movies get more attention

The movie what told me the true meaning of the phrase "Never judge a book by it's cover" . And the sequel is even better.

I know a lot of people like the movie for its comedy, but I love this movie for its great characters, beautiful message and moments, it’s greatly underrated villain, and it’s severely underrated action and fight sequences!!

A lot of people miss it, but they actually hinted at the "Secret Ingredient" plot. When Po makes noodles for the Five and says that his Fathers is so much better because he doesn't know the secret Ingredient. And their immediate response is "What are you talking about, this is amazing!"

Damn I envy that dog. Takes me forever to fall asleep and the slightest thing can wake me up, but that little guy? Dead to the world. What a legend.

Dreamworks didn't skimp on the casting for this trilogy, and the fact that all three films are consistently excellent (though personally I hold that two is the best one.) speaks to how much love for the genre went into them across the board.

The dragon scroll being a reflective surface wasn’t an accident. You see yourself, and your own worth. Po looked at the scroll and saw “it’s blank” (ie a blank slate, ready to be taught). Tai Lung looked at the scroll and saw “nothing”.

Tai Lung is truly one of the best written Dreamworks villains out there. As the movie explains, Shifu trained Tai Lung with the hopes that he would become the Dragon Warrior. His name “Tai Lung” actually translates to “Great Dragon” in English. Tai Lung was a gifted student, and both he and Shifu firmly believed that he was the Dragon Warrior. But when Oogway denied him the title, Shifu, while upset, didn’t argue against it. And this was what drove Tai Lung to villainy. Becoming the Dragon Warrior meant everything to Tai Lung. It was his one and only goal in life. But he only ever wanted it because Shifu wanted it for him. Because Shifu taught him, raised him, and trained him, Tai Lung wanted to do whatever he could to make Shifu proud. And so when Tai Lung was denied the title of Dragon Warrior, the one thing both he and Shifu had been spending his entire life working towards, he looked to Shifu for support. He wanted Shifu, his master and his father, to say something. To argue against Oogway, or at the very least comfort him in some way. But Shifu said and did nothing. He only turned away in disappointment. This sent Tai Lung into a rage, but it also only deepened Tai Lung’s lust for the Dragon Scroll. Tai Lung doubled down on becoming the Dragon Warrior. It was all he had. It was the one and only thing Shifu had ever wanted for him. And because of this, Tai Lung truly believed he was destined to become the Dragon Warrior. And he would do whatever it took to get there.

Fun fact: There's this fan theory that Viper has a crush on Po. You can see she always like being around him, is kind to him even when none of the other Furious Five are, and even kisses the training dummy that looks like him in the end credits.

i can't wait for you to see 2 and 3; this is one of those rare trilogies where all three are good.

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but you should remember what Tigress said: "a single dew drop the energy of the universe." It's a little hint for the other two movies.

interestingly, the fight between The Five and Tai-Lung on the bridge actually _is_ legendary, because it was something that had never been done before at the time, and the animators initially had no idea how to do it.

I think what Bethany said about Master being a title rather than being a teacher is correct, because Po called the Five "Five masters" before.

That's the most relaxed snoozing dog I've ever seen in my life.

" Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it is called present." ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The voice actor for Tai Lung in the Spanish dub did an excellent job when he was telling Shifu the how proud you are lines. It sounded like Tai Lung was crying but also with much rage.

so glad you guys watched this movie! po is one of my favourite animated protagonists of all time, he’s such a sweet and fun guy - one of my favourite scenes from him is the one where tai lung is upset about the dragon scroll and po’s first instinct is to try and comfort and validate him for what he’s feeling. that “it’s okay, i didn’t get it either at first” is so indicative of po’s kindness and i LOVE it. and his journey of self-love and acceptance is a great message for everyone! sometimes the only thing holding you back from being great is your own self-doubt… what a great message. thanks for the upload, loved the reaction 💚

My childhood! Ah, the memories!

Even tho the movie is old, I still back to watching these kinds of movies for fun

I forgot about how legendary Jack Black is! One interesting thing to notice, if Shifu hadn't sent the goose to check on the prison holding Tai-Lung, he would never have escaped, as he used the feather to unlock his restraints.

I'm so happy that you both decided to watch The Kung-Fu Panda trilogy, and I hope you enjoy the movies as much as I'm enjoying you're reactions. The Furious Five calling Po "Master" was their way of saying "Welcome to the team" since all five of them are masters in their own rights. The second movie is a marvel to behold.

This movie has a lot of great moments and messages, the Present line, Believing something is special, but my favorite has to be the I'm not Hungry line. It may sound like a throw away line but there's a bit of context behind it, for one he eats when he's stressed but it's more than that, the start of the scene they say "when you are trained, you may eat" the dumpling was a test of what he has learned, so when he tossed it back saying he wasn't hungry shows that he still wants to learn amd grow "when the student is ready, the teacher appears." And if you close your self off in one mindset you'll never truly grow and learn from other sources and others, whether in Kung Fu, Cooking, or any other examples in life

Jack black is so amazing it’s hard to believe that he’s getting up there in age 😔

I hope you watch 2 and 3 as well. I love your guy's reactions. :) The Kung fu panda series is actually such a great tool for self-help disguised as a comedy-cartoon series.

Tai Lung is easily my fav villain of the KFP trilogy. He's a prime example of "don't give others certain expectations to measure up to", something Tai Lung did when Shifu put it in his head that he would be the Dragon Warrior. When Tai Lung found out he wasn't, he was enraged and attacked his own teacher and foster father. All he did had been done to make Shifu proud.

Honestly, these are some good movies to own physically copies of. It’s a strong series and I think you guys will love the rest of them!

You should react to Shifu vs Tailong battle with latin-spanish dub (México, Central america and South america) Tailong voice actor was so invested in the character that you can sense more backstory just earing his dialogues in that short battle! Little to say that i'm very proud of our official dubs :')

I so want an American version of Kung Fu Panda, where all the animals are ones native to the Americas like beavers or coyotes and the main character is a bald eagle who learns the art of the cowboy.

The turtle master would have no problem beating tai lung but it wouldn’t let po fulfill his destiny and for sheifo to finally forgive himself of what happened to tai lung and finally try to let go of the sense of control

This is one of my favorite movies, and seeing you watch it makes me really happy:) Hope you react to the other two movies, the second one imo is the best

This movie is a great start to an amazing trilogy. I cannot wait for you to do the next one.

"It is not your destiny," "I've worked too hard for it not to be."

🐼🐼🐼 LOVED this movie as a kid!!! 🐼🐼🐼

Surprised you didn't recognize Seth Rogan when Mantis did the signature laugh

Your dog just sleep for the entire movie is soo freakin cute 😂❤

After you check out the next two movies, make sure to check out the Death Battle between Po and Iron Fist from Marvel! It's pure awesomeness!

I think something people miss is how much the furious five enjoyed Po’s needles and he said to them you should see my dads secret ingredient soup but the was no secret ingredient so they enjoyed it so much because it was the same.

My favorite animated movie!!!! Yes!!! I said on another vid but if yall havent watched Avatar the Last Airbender i think yall would love it!!!!

The theme of Master Oogway gets me every time. I remember that song when my daughter was born

That dog is in slumber heaven I had to rewind the discussion afterwards to actually listen to what you said multiple times 😂

I'm told that the Furious Five are representatives of the five styles of Kung Fu. Po must learn a different style, the style of the Panda, which relies heavily on his ability to bounce. Just as Master Shifu, and later Po himself, can use Po's continual hunger to empower him, so Po must learn to take advantage of the very qualities that once made him hate himself. I'm glad you're watching the whole trilogy; Po is on a hero's journey and learning to accept himself is just the first step on that journey.

One of the Best TRILOGIES OF ALL TIME🔥🔥🔥

The dog at the end is just passed out 😂

Tai Lung was immobilized until the guard stood on his tail

Nah your perception them saying master is pretty spot on, they were acknowledging PO as an equal if not greater... it's not them calling him master in regards of like master shifu because po still calls shifu by his title

HOW HAVE YA’LL NOT SEEN KUNG FU PANDA!? EACH AND EVERYONE ARE AS GOOD AS ALL THE SHREKS!

Absolutely love the message of this one. It can go two ways, probably more. You can be just who you are, and accomplish all you can accomplish, and it's enough. You can defy expectation and fate, be so unique that you can do things in ways others cannot. Something for everyone! You guys will love the second one I can tell. It answers all your questions and is absolutely stunning visually.

That was the greatest escape from prison of all time

One of the best movie trilogies ever. Part 1 - body Part 2 - mind Part 3 - soul

Great reaction guys, I'm so glad you reacted to this movie its definitely my favourite DreamWorks movie same with the second one, tai lung has always been my favourite villain I really love his character, you should definitely watch the second one it's also amazing 😁👌

So glad you guys are watching these. My favorite animated trilogy next the how to train your dragon

I really do love this movie and the whole... through-line of self-mastery and self-actualization. It is something that I've strived for for a long time now. And yes, that whole sense of the weight of expectations makes it even more difficult, but once you learn how to achieve it, there's very little in the world that can stop you. Fun details, though. One, Sifu (which means "master" represents the Chinese philosophy of Confucianism, while Oogway represents Daoism. It would be worth looking into the way those philosophies play out in the two characters. It's really worth the time. But, on top of that, in the fight on the bridge with Tai-Lung (which means "great dragon"), each of the members of the five uses Sifu's advice to them after they try to ambush him. They included a lot of great details with these movies, and I can't wait for you to continue with the journey.

"What's a D"vah"D" - A kid on south park from an 11 year old episode

Nice lol I have a movie suggestion. It's on Netflix and the others are optional but I recommend High & Low. It's a movie about 5 gangs uniting to fight off a large invading gang and the Mafia to protect the people. They don't allow drugs so most gangs in the city challenge them often.

Tai Lung's name also translates to "Great Dragon".

What I love about Po’s journey to becoming the Dragon Warrior in this trilogy is how he learns to master all aspects (physical, mental, and spiritual) of Kung Fu. I can’t wait for the sequel reactions! I want to recommend another panda movie that is seriously amazing and underrated, The Amazing Panda Adventure starring Stephan Lang (Colonel Miles Quaritch from Avatar). 🐼🐲👊🏻🧠❤️

Upon seeing the Scroll, which just reflects the looker's face. Po says "It's blank". Like a canvas waiting to be painted; full of potential. Tai Lung says "It's nothing". Like it holds no value; meaningless.

Ian Mcshane is a great actor. Been in some movies like the Death Race films, he was Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean and Wednesday in American Gods

25:44 The animators at DreamWorks asked the director "how many teeth should we give Tai Lung?" and the director answered "yes".

22:30 I'm always dissapointed when reactors don't say "quit hitting yourself" in that scene 😁 You didn't dissapoint though, good reaction to this movie, that is pure awesomeness. DreamWorks really knocked it out of the park with this trilogy, and the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, two of my favorite movie trilogies of all time, regardless of genre, animated or not.

The trilogy is great, one of the best of all time in my opinion

I've been waiting for this

I had to watch the reaction twice because I was just obsessed with staring at the puppy :D

Ian McShane is most famous for Lovejoy and plays Winston in John Wick.

I already activated my notifications to let me know when kung fu panda 2 and 3 are uploaded

Ah, that sweet lil snoozy pooch does my heart good.

Did you know in kung fu panda you see draw of Wall look like Kai in kung fu panda 3 2:03

aaaaa I knew it!! what a great classic! hope you enjoyed it!!

You know I have heard about a youtuber named daetrix is making a show called the rise of the last dragon animated series based on the last dragon movie from 1985

13:43 Po got stuck lol but what you army 15:27 cute baby Tai lung running! 16:01 lol I’m sorry 😂😂😂 16:05 /) because lol bfdhsjdhgf 😂😂😂😅 16:14 TAI IS BROKE OUT OF PRISON

one of the greatest animated movies of all time a true masterpiece of a trilogy .

Can't wait for the second one. One of the greatest villains of all time!

Ian McShane plays Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tide and Winston in John Wick

Yuuuuusss. Reacting to one of the best movies ever. This is top movie for me. Jack Black is him. Great reaction

Seth Rogan was cool as Mantis. Lucy Liu was the reasonable one as the snake. Jackie Chan didn't talk much as Monkey. Angelina Jolie really did her thing as Tigress. Jack Black just flat out made the movie gold as Panda.

Such a great movie, one of my favorites growing up. The second one is even better in my personal opinion

The second one gets even better

Speaking of which...Po vs Iron Fist Death Battle soon?

Tai Lung prison break is on of my favorite movie scenes ever.

Gotta be completely honest, I'm really disappointed by how much you cut from the Shifu vs Tai Lung fight. There seriously one of the most impactful parts of the whole movie. ESPECIALLY the ending of it, with the "Tell me how *_PROUD_* you are, Shifu!" Actually, thinking about it, you guys really snubbed a lot of Tai Lung's already limited screentime. He's not in the movie very much, but when he *_IS_* it's powerful. I really hope you guys don't do the same for She'eng in the next movie. The villains in Kung-fu Panda are seriously some of the best parts of the series.

Ian McShane is Al Swearengen from "Deadwood". So I can't help but imagining him growling: "How is it, in the very ancestral homeland of Celestials, I still find myself bedeviled by hoopleheads?" This movie's got its charms but it frustrates me. To its credit, it encourages people to not give up. But my gripes are: 1) It also encourages people to believe in the "the ONLY thing I need is self-confidence" myth. Sorry, but very few of us are The Chosen One, and it's healthy to realize that, in all humility, you probably won't be the hero who falls ass-backwards into greatness. You are no doubt something worthwhile, if you apply yourself (and probably for a long time); but none of us could be absolutely anything we wanted to be. 2) Oh boy, the old trope of "fat person is motivated by food and can perform miracles if you tempt them with food". Like that wasn't played out 30 years ago.

And somehow the sequels are even better. Loved this reaction and I hope the others are worked in later. You won't be disappointed.

Such a great reaction. Thank you.

The sleeping puppy.

This was a very well done Movie, i wonder how well the 4th Movie will do?

Sad detail is how Tai Lung could've been chosen if not for Shifu. The final fight parallels with Po's fight with Shifu for the dumpling: Tai Lung successfully taken the scroll from Po like how Po successfully taken the dumpling from Shifu

I was waiting for this

I feel bad for Tai Lung and I think he deserves a redemption arc.

Fun Fact: This movie ( and the franchise ) was so successful in China that the government actually debated how animators in the west made a movie portraying China better than China

Please watch the 2nd one! It's one of the few times that the sequal is better than the original. It's alot like the Empire Strikes back of Kung Fu Panda.

You cut out tai lungs best part when fighting shifu :(

I hope you watch the next three kungfu fu panda movies🙏

Anyone else notice the sleeping Doggo

When you really think about what Tai Lung went through you can really understand him. He was trained since a child that he WAS the "Dragon Warrior." He probably went through even more stringent training due to it and all his life was leading up to that moment of finally fulfilling his destiny....only to be just told no. No reason, no discussion just no. Then when he went for it himself he got sent to prison where he was quite literally bound and chained to the point he couldn't move and the only thing he could see was concrete walls. What do you think he was doing all that time? He was just getting angrier and angrier. Honestly Shifu and Uugway were the real villains since they didn't have the decency to Tai Lung down and tell him WHY he wasn't the dragon warrior.

Awesome reaction y'all!! This trilogy is fantastic, and I'd put it up there with How to Train Your Dragon. The second movie is the best of the trilogy.

Love this movie. I find the 2nd one to be even better!

Hear the Legends of the Kung Fu Panda He lived in a noodle shop never seeking glory and fame. He climbed a mountain top and earned the Dragon Warrior name. Oof oww yeouch! Kung Fu Panda! Master Shift saw the warrior blossom and master the skills of bodacious and awesome Kung Fu Panda! He lives and he trains and fights with the furious five! Protects the valley something something a lot! Wa hiyah yeah! KUNG FU PANDA! Legends of awesomeness, sweet!

God this movie is sooo GOOD
