I love how they brought back the fact that Po dreams in 2D animation. Then, when his dreams transition to actual memories they become 3D. Such a wonderful attention to detail.
Absolutely totally disagree what you saying about tigers she is not stronger than po and she doesn't have big fan base like our main character po@@reactswithjax
To be honest, getting it was Gary Oldman by just his voice is an impressive feat. The man is a chameleon. He morphs into every role he ever takes and many people don't recognize him at first glance let alone getting it at just the voice.
Gary Oldman did an amazing job in it as a villain. He was a more complex one and he pulled the crazyness easily just like he did in Léon: the professional.
@@hzhang1228 Leon was the good guy, played by Jean Reno. Gary played Stan. But you meant "Leon's movie". Regarding Oldman's skills, I still can't get over the fact he was commissar Gordon. The role was kind of meh and the writing for this character way below his stature, but I think he enjoyed it. While he sometimes hated some of his roles, despite him not showing it at all and still nailing it (e.g. in the Fifth Element).
In Secrets of the Five, we learn that Tigress was abandoned at an orphanage filled with ducks, bunnies, and other cuddly animals. Everyone was scared of her and her temper, to the point that she, a five year old girl, wholly believed she was a monster. It wasn't until Shifu arrived and taught her how to control her actions, and adopted her into the Jade Palace, that she found her own worth. Obviously, she resented Po when he first arrived, as she felt his fortune made light of her effort. But she clearly softened toward him in the first movie, when she heard him tell Shifu how hard it was to "spend every day just being [him]." Hopefully we see more interaction between them! I love their interactions!
My favorite thing about Kung fu panda is that dreamworks somehow created animal characters that move like animals and then created fighing styles incorporating those movements is incredible. Viper is a snake and they created a fighting style, based on the real viper style, that works with her limbless body. So many other studios would have just made human characters that have animal features, but not dreamworks. It's most clear with tigress. She runs on all fours, and at the beginning of the movie when she tells poe about the bandits she remains sitting like a cat for most of the conversation.
Those are the five forms of fighting in Kung Fu; tiger, monkey, and so on. Jackie Chan and Jet Li parody them in Forbidden Kingdom (2008). th-cam.com/video/Z5DlqH0klZU/w-d-xo.html
Well the Furious Five specifically were inspired by five styles of Kung Fu, those being Tiger Style, Snake/Viper style, Monkey Style, Crane Style, and Mantis style. These five forms of martial art were made with the essence of each animal incorporated in them in posture, demeanour, and the flow of their attacks and moves. The five characters then take those combat styles and reapply them in the context of the animals, making a full loop.
If I had to pick a movie with maximum rewatchability value, I just might pick this one. The (somewhat) sympathetic villain, the emotional beats, but most of all, the harbor scene. Oh, the harbor scene. I could watch it on repeat all night long. The despair, the courage, the gamble, the triumph, the beauty. Heck, the entire 3rd act is marvelous. Anyway, recommendations for more animated fare: Megamind is an all-time under-appreciated classic, as is The Iron Giant. Lilo & Stitch is a film that rewards multiple viewings, and the music/Hawaiian culture is a delight. Mulan (the original) is the only other Disney film I’d rank anywhere close to it. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse doesn’t fall into the MCU chronology you’re following, and is as radical a film-making/film-viewing experience as you’re likely to encounter in animated films in the near future. Please don’t wait too long for it: I don’t know how many years I have left! Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away is a very understated, very good adventure. All of their films are worth a look, although I admit I’ve not seen most. And of course anything Pixar. Since you’ve already tackled their magnum opus, Wall-E, the next logical choice would seem to be Up, although Dug’s cameo leads me to think you’ve already seen it. It’s a source of ongoing amazement how good you are at asking the right questions. I suppose it helps being an actual filmmaker. “I wonder where they’re going to go with the next movie” just as the answer appeared on screen. (And I also really want to know what Tigress was about to say after Po revealed his adoptive status.) The next movie doesn’t get as much respect as this one, I think primarily because the antagonist is much less fleshed-out than the first two movies, but I think it hits some important relationship and emotional notes. I’d definitely rank the third movie as the lesser of the three, but it wraps up everything nicely. I hear there’s a fourth underway, but I’m nervous; I think they should leave the trilogy as is. Jax, your reactions are unfailingly a pleasure to experience with you, and today watching you gushing over Po’s adoptive dad was wunderbar. Thank you for bringing some light into my day.
Ohh yas pls, the only animated movie that I watched with my mom was spirited away. She said this movie is creative/interesting to watch and she absolutely loves it, everyone should give it a try!
For the Studio Ghibli movies I think My Neighbor Totoro is my favorite although Spirited Away is also VERY good. Those two are probably the closest animated movies to taking the top spot from Encanto for me. Some of the Ghibli movies are absolutely heart wrenching though. I just saw Ponyo again the other night and I still love it. Kiki's Delivery Service is way up there too although I am a bit biased since the scenery from the big town is taken from Swedish cities, the story is centered around work related burnout. What could be a more modern topic? What I'm trying to say is pretty much all of them are great.
Something I love about the first fight is when the wolves are all leaping into the air and Po is kicking them all as he rises up. It's him literally living his dream from the start of the first movie. All it was missing was the wolves all fomring a giant wolf head silloette.
Seeing you first laugh at all the comedy to then tear up at the father son relationship is just so pure and wholesome. Your reactions are so honest and expressive it's really a joy to tune in to your TH-cam show. Thank you for this and I look forward to the next upload. :)
I love Shen! He doesn’t just fight with his own skills, but recognizes his physical limitations and utilizes other things to improve. Sorta like Po in the first movie once I think about it, but less goofy (the firework cart, pans, etc). Not really but sorta.
Okay, but the side characters like the soothsayer and the head wolf are both so well written. All the characters and their growth from the last movie to this one, are incredible. I love this movie
I love how people could interpret the prophecy as they choose. Even though defeat doesn’t mean Death, some theorize that Shen defeated himself in the end. I love how symbolic that is but I stick with the original, that Po was the warrior. Mostly because the goat lady specified “a panda.” And imo Po did defeat Shen. After they then had a talk and Shen and his stubbornness to accept that what he wanted (his parents being proud of him, love and approval) was unreachable, he acknowledged but refuses to accept his failures to move forward. I think that had a part in his death. I also think he finds comfort in thinking of the painful past than the unknown future.
Yes, also take the fact that during the montage that shen is shown in black and grey/white, same as po before the spin around and maki g the ying yang symbol. and an argument could be made that he's a black/white peacock
I thought the last scene portrayed that Shen was finally acknowledging that he had been defeated and simply not taking the path to redemption because deep down he knows he's not the victim
Jax, that was easily the most exuberant "Skadoosh!" I've ever heard someone yell! 😂 You and your reactions are beautiful, and I always look forward to more. I love these Kung Fu Panda movies SO much!! Hilarious, action-packed, with so much heart! Keep up the great work! 😊
This is my favorite of the trilogy, and that is largely attributed to Shen/Gary Oldman. The story and dialogue he has are great, and Oldman's delivery is beyond match. There are few moments where he seems to reconsider his actions (the conversation in the forge with the Soothe Sayer for example), but then decides he has gone too far to turn back. This culminates in his final fight with Po, where despite being defeated he throws himself into the fight with nothing left to lose. When the cannon tips and falls, he does not even try to get out of the way. He just closes his eyes and welcomes the end.
Jax has so many great reactions but Kung Fu panda is my favorite of hers.. She is lively and makes it enjoyable. She makes us feel the nostalgia of how we felt the first time we watched these trilogy. This woman is stunning but that does not affect(maybe a bit) the focus to the movies details while she is reacting to it. Reeeaaallly enjoy her reaction..best ever. ❤️
Thank you SO much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this and felt nostalgic while watching my reaction! This movie was so much fun to watch but being able to read the comments makes the experience that much more fun! ❤️🎉❤️🎉
Great reaction as always Jax! 😊This is my favourite of the 3 for so many reasons but mainly because it is so heartwarming! Also nice job with catching Gary Oldman and the actor for Master Thundering Rhino so early!😁
I really enjoyed “Kung Fu Panda 2” as I remember watching it at the theater as a kid and I loved it and I loved it again watching it with you😁🔥. This movie is a just amazing and one of the best sequels to a first movie. The storytellers are so focused and efficient as it was done with such thought, grace and understanding of how Po will know about his identity and discover inner peace🔥. Lord Shen was just an amazing antagonist as Gary Oldman brought such depth to this character, the way he moves is so balletic as he throws his blades/fights well and he’s one of favorite animated antagonists, definitely top 3👍. I loved the way you guessed it was Gary Oldman’s voice. Looking forward to seeing you react to Kung Fu Panda 3 as his actual Dad his alive😆. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care and have a good one❤️
@@reactswithjax Man, I recently found her channel and from million km away, (and not in a very good condition) I can totally feel her joy, laughter, and sense of humor. So wholesome and adorable. I don't know what she does, but she should really consider being an -actor- or something. _Actress!_
FYI, the whole “mantis female eats the male’s head during mating” thing rarely happens in the wild. Usually she’s either hungry or stressed out (and doesn’t want him to stop). The stressed out part usually happens when they’re being observed… by people trying to see if she’ll eat his head
i was impressed you got Gary Oldman's voice so quickly. Well done! Another amazing one that it seems very few people have heard of -- but it's so good, I think it's almost criminal that it's so unknown -- is "Kubo and the Two Strings." It's stop-motion animation, so looks a little herky-jerky at times, but it doesn't matter. The animation is still excellent and the story is simply amazing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate you and your donation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🥳💕🐑💖 Also, this was a really good tea if you like hints of chocolate and strawberry. ❤️
Hey Jax! Great reaction as always! You always seem to catch some things that I never notice before. The inner p joke got me good. Your reaction matching the characters in the movie was great too! As you mentioned, it may be a matter of preference which movie you think is a better one but I believe a lot of sequels tend to be better sometimes because they don't have to spend time on introducing characters. In the first movie, they have to introduce the protagonists, antagonists and relevant characters whereas in the second one onward they only have to introduce the antagonists. As usual, I can't wait to watch your next reaction. Have a good weekend!
Also in a cartoon series about this it was explained that Tigress was an orphan making shifu basically her father when he took her from the orphanage to the jade palace
I'm a new subscriber to this channel and can I just say, as someone who's favourite animal is sheep, it's so fun to see how much you love them too! Lamby is just the cutest 🐑❤ And you have great energy, really fun to watch with!
I’m honestly not usually one for randomly simping but might I say…you were glowing in this reaction. Absolutely beautiful. Glad you enjoyed the movie, can’t wait for 3!
You are a absolutely addicting to watch. The soft beautiful voice, the cute laugh, and of course head over heels smile..😍 not to mention the fact that you love to watch movies as they are with such funny insights.
It took me too many viewings before I realized Shen also "met one's destiny on the road he takes to avoid it", as Oogway warned Shifu in the first movie.
Your first time watching Kung Fu Panda was the first video I saw from you and I gotta say your personality is just too funny and your just so kind! I'm really looking forward for more animated film reactions from you in the future and Kung Fu Panda has to be one of the best ones keep up the good work! Also this was my favorite part your laugh is too contagious! 🤣😂 ➤ 27:03
It's winter here in Melbourne, Australia and I must say that the brightness of your eye's and width of your smile in this reaction warms my heart so much I had to open a window at midnight! 🙂
when you know it would be a tear jerk and readied yourself that you will not cry but you cant help but cry on that sad moment and po's yin and yang.... now that is a good 2nd film
Hi Quick story, if you don't mind. So you understand the scale of all of this: I am a war refugee, who's having 'fun time' integrating into a new country, got lots of problems, including heavily broken heart to the point that i barely feel emothions. And i want to thank you. I suddenly bumped into your reaction video on Kung Fu Panda and it actually made me feel some kind of joy and happiness. I don't know if this'll help me to reverse my depression, but still it's good to know that i'm not jaded completely yet. In situations like these you start appreciating small joyful things more often, so i sincerely thank you for stopping my black mist of sadness from spreading. And to anyone who might read this: I hope you have a good time.
So I played this while driving to work. I know the movie pretty well so I kinda knew what parts you were talking about. Of course, I sat and watched it after work. 20:54 ... I enjoyed that hearty laugh and was tempted to look at the screen but it's better that I didn't. As I watched... 25:15 as your eyes welled up, I got that emotional punch in the nose that made my eyes well up. I'm looking forward to the end of the journeys with How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda
20:25 Tigress could have been a good Dragon Warrior, but Po becomes a great Dragon Warrior. The only complaint I have with these movies, is I wished they had explored Tigress' story. Her character is left with a lot of questions, which is not necessarily bad to have a mysterious character, but I think they could have made room for a couple of flashbacks and giving her, her own arc.
Great sequel. I wasn't sure where they were going with it either. Great reaction as always. I love when you add facts to your reactions. I love stuff like that. It's always a joy watching you watch a movie. Your laugh is contagious and awesome. Give Lammy a hug for me.
Tigress' backstory is more fleshed out in "Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five", and there's another short where the five first get together: "Secrets of the Scroll"
Only one reactor I’ve seen recognized Van Damme by his voice. But he does appear during the final fight doing a split in mid-air, which is a signature Van Damme move
This movie is definitely my favorite of the trilogy and your reaction to it is hands down my favorite. Can’t wait for you to react to the third movie, Jax ❤️
As an adopted man (from colombia) buy french couple at my young age , this movie was really sumptuous and it talked to me so well. Can't wait to see your reaction for the third one.
That was a great reaction ❤ Po has done it again... Made Jax laff made Jax cry and made Jax as well as the rest of us happy!😊 Can't wait for KFP3! Luv ya Jax ❤
The two underlying details of thisovie that make it the best in the franchise. 1. Tigress: after she was mean to him in the first movie we get to see their progressed relationship throughout this movie and see her development. We learn she isnt just this absolute badass with no emotions but instead she does have emotions and she really cares about Po even enough to potentially sacrifice her life for him by getting hit by the canon instead of Po. 2: Po's dad: I mean cmon. The best part of this detail is how amazing of a father he is. I mean i get it, we are supposed to think "po isnt the brightest" since he is only questioning where he is from after 20 yrs but cmon. It doesnt take intelligence to see your a bear and your dads a goose to question things lol. So imagine how loved Po must have felt and how his dad did such an amazing parenting job to have po questioning things 20 years later and all bc he happened to run into a villain that reminded him of something not even questioning it by himself.
You are so beautiful and delightful 🥰 I know I've told you before how amazing your laugh is and it is truly so endearing : ) oh and your intro music is so calming thank you for that : )
Love watching movies with you Jax your reactions make me laugh smile and cry always look forward to your Friday morning upload. Looking forward to watching Age of Ultron with you your going tonlove it!!!
I am constantly surprised by how often the sheep thing comes up with Lamy. When I first found your channel was all "Oh thats sweet, anyway..." and then the How to Train your Dragon opening which will be forever priceless. But it seems sheep were snuck into movies more than I ever noticed before lol
One Gary Larson's favorite works, which was never published, was of a bar scene with mantises. One of them is a headless male. The caption is "Women!". The joke, of course, refers to the nature of mantis breeding where the female often bites the male's head off.
Wanna know what's ironic and I just now realized? Gary Oldman voices a Fire Guardian Dragon in The Legend of Spyro series named Ignitus, you can see the nods with the Cannons, Fireworks (Breathing Fireball Bombs & Raining them during Fire Fury/Elemental Magic Blast) and desiring China which includes Red in the flag. Edit:Wait I could be wrong that his Fire Fury rains Fireball Bombs but I feel it isn't.
I've never cried before. I watch so many emotional movies and animation. I have a little emotion. For example everyone cried after seeing 'UP'. But it didn’t effect me. I don't know why people cried. But this movie when po's mother leaves him in the bucket, I cried a little bit. Especially when baby po cried😢😢
I love how they brought back the fact that Po dreams in 2D animation. Then, when his dreams transition to actual memories they become 3D. Such a wonderful attention to detail.
I loved that part! The detail and thoughtfulness that was put into this movie was really impressive.

Mr. Ping's moments at 9:18 and 32:29 are realy wholesome. You can actually feel how worried he is and how much he cares for Po.

27:03 I love your reaction to Po’s distant speech and Shen’s “WHAT?!!!” 😂😂😂
6:24 the decision to stop using radishes in his soup was because that’s what he was feeding baby Po and he coudnt afford any other way
"You can't do this to me" Imagine how those of us who watched it back when it first came out felt having to wait 5 years.
i was impressed you got Gary Oldman's voice so quickly. Well done!
Another amazing one that it seems very few people have heard of -- but it's so good, I think it's almost criminal that it's so unknown -- is "Kubo and the Two Strings." It's stop-motion animation, so looks a little herky-jerky at times, but it doesn't matter. The animation is still excellent and the story is simply amazing.
I knew instantly who the peacock and the ram were by their voices. Gary Oldman and Michelle Yeoh are so recognizable
I’m always looking forward to your reactions. It’s always a great time with you 🤗💖🙌
Thanks!
I love tea, yesterday I spent 2 hours running to every store trying to find tea in bags that are not in pods. Thank you for the recommendation ❤✨️🦄
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate you and your donation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🥳💕🐑💖 Also, this was a really good tea if you like hints of chocolate and strawberry. ❤️
15:22 the cutest "ca-caw" ever..
Hey Jax! Great reaction as always! You always seem to catch some things that I never notice before. The inner p joke got me good. Your reaction matching the characters in the movie was great too! As you mentioned, it may be a matter of preference which movie you think is a better one but I believe a lot of sequels tend to be better sometimes because they don't have to spend time on introducing characters. In the first movie, they have to introduce the protagonists, antagonists and relevant characters whereas in the second one onward they only have to introduce the antagonists. As usual, I can't wait to watch your next reaction. Have a good weekend!
You also must watch the tie-in short films, starting with Secrets of the Furious Five, which takes place between the first two main movies.
Interesting thing about Chen: He's albino. In China, that's considered a bad omen because in their culture white is the color of death.
I didn't know that! Thanks for pointing that out. I love all the small details they added in this movie.
Also in a cartoon series about this it was explained that Tigress was an orphan making shifu basically her father when he took her from the orphanage to the jade palace
The amount of emotions you went through in this movie is incredible
I'm a new subscriber to this channel and can I just say, as someone who's favourite animal is sheep, it's so fun to see how much you love them too! Lamby is just the cutest 🐑❤ And you have great energy, really fun to watch with!
I’m honestly not usually one for randomly simping but might I say…you were glowing in this reaction. Absolutely beautiful. Glad you enjoyed the movie, can’t wait for 3!
You are a absolutely addicting to watch. The soft beautiful voice, the cute laugh, and of course head over heels smile..😍 not to mention the fact that you love to watch movies as they are with such funny insights.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️🥳💖 I'm so grateful that you enjoy my reactions. 🐑❤️
@@reactswithjax you’re so welcome! Also, Lamby comforts me as well. Thank you for grabbing lamby during times of stress! 😮💨
It took me too many viewings before I realized Shen also "met one's destiny on the road he takes to avoid it", as Oogway warned Shifu in the first movie.
Your first time watching Kung Fu Panda was the first video I saw from you and I gotta say your personality is just too funny and your just so kind! I'm really looking forward for more animated film reactions from you in the future and Kung Fu Panda has to be one of the best ones keep up the good work! Also this was my favorite part your laugh is too contagious! 🤣😂 ➤ 27:03
It's winter here in Melbourne, Australia and I must say that the brightness of your eye's and width of your smile in this reaction warms my heart so much I had to open a window at midnight! 🙂
when you know it would be a tear jerk and readied yourself that you will not cry but you cant help but cry on that sad moment and po's yin and yang.... now that is a good 2nd film
35:28 Always loved the Lammy jokes 😂😂😂.. indeed all you do need is a P And A 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, this movie is so great, and your reactions are so genuine and expressive. Truly a match made in heaven.
I swear, your laughter is one of the best things in this world!!!
7:35 Victor Garber, that man played professor stein in arrowverse shows like The Flash and Dc Legends of Tomorrow
Hi
Quick story, if you don't mind.
So you understand the scale of all of this: I am a war refugee, who's having 'fun time' integrating into a new country, got lots of problems, including heavily broken heart to the point that i barely feel emothions.
And i want to thank you. I suddenly bumped into your reaction video on Kung Fu Panda and it actually made me feel some kind of joy and happiness. I don't know if this'll help me to reverse my depression, but still it's good to know that i'm not jaded completely yet.
In situations like these you start appreciating small joyful things more often, so i sincerely thank you for stopping my black mist of sadness from spreading.
And to anyone who might read this: I hope you have a good time.
awwwesome reaction, now waiting for kung fu panda 3 :-)
So I played this while driving to work. I know the movie pretty well so I kinda knew what parts you were talking about. Of course, I sat and watched it after work.
20:54 ... I enjoyed that hearty laugh and was tempted to look at the screen but it's better that I didn't.
As I watched... 25:15 as your eyes welled up, I got that emotional punch in the nose that made my eyes well up.
I'm looking forward to the end of the journeys with How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda
another fun reaction, I love seeing you laugh, you're such a delight to watch
Kung fu panda is one of the series where each new one is better than the previous one. Top tier series for sure.
Shen is inspired by Herod from the Bible who tried preventing the Messiah from growing old by killing all the babies
34:12. I like how geuine reaction amd coincidence that once u said no one important pass on and Po's Father appeared
Love watching these movies with lambie and you...funny 😊 watching.
33:39 So observant !!
20:25 Tigress could have been a good Dragon Warrior, but Po becomes a great Dragon Warrior.
The only complaint I have with these movies, is I wished they had explored Tigress' story. Her character is left with a lot of questions, which is not necessarily bad to have a mysterious character, but I think they could have made room for a couple of flashbacks and giving her, her own arc.
23:56 THIS IS WHAT YOU COME FOR
Great sequel. I wasn't sure where they were going with it either. Great reaction as always. I love when you add facts to your reactions. I love stuff like that. It's always a joy watching you watch a movie. Your laugh is contagious and awesome. Give Lammy a hug for me.
Tigress' backstory is more fleshed out in "Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five", and there's another short where the five first get together: "Secrets of the Scroll"
I was surprised that Jean-Claude Van Damme voiced Master Croc.
OMG, how I simp for Jax's laugh!!😍
Only one reactor I’ve seen recognized Van Damme by his voice. But he does appear during the final fight doing a split in mid-air, which is a signature Van Damme move
Nice! I just finish watched your reaction to Kung-fu Panda a few minutes ago then the sequel suddenly appears
What great timing! As Oogway said, "There are no coincidences." ❤️
the theming is strong with this one --- also, great reaction vid!
6:33 Hey, radishes are important, it adds a sweetness to the soup.
Haha! As someone who doesn't like the taste of radishes, I'm happy Po ate them all and changed the soup forever. 😊
Yes! Excited for this one.
Thanks for watching!! It was a great movie.
This movie is definitely my favorite of the trilogy and your reaction to it is hands down my favorite. Can’t wait for you to react to the third movie, Jax ❤️
Dude imagine how me and my brother felt when we saw it in theaters!! You don’t have to wait to watch the next one like we did!
As an adopted man (from colombia) buy french couple at my young age , this movie was really sumptuous and it talked to me so well. Can't wait to see your reaction for the third one.
That was a great reaction ❤ Po has done it again... Made Jax laff made Jax cry and made Jax as well as the rest of us happy!😊 Can't wait for KFP3! Luv ya Jax ❤
The two underlying details of thisovie that make it the best in the franchise. 1. Tigress: after she was mean to him in the first movie we get to see their progressed relationship throughout this movie and see her development. We learn she isnt just this absolute badass with no emotions but instead she does have emotions and she really cares about Po even enough to potentially sacrifice her life for him by getting hit by the canon instead of Po. 2: Po's dad: I mean cmon. The best part of this detail is how amazing of a father he is. I mean i get it, we are supposed to think "po isnt the brightest" since he is only questioning where he is from after 20 yrs but cmon. It doesnt take intelligence to see your a bear and your dads a goose to question things lol. So imagine how loved Po must have felt and how his dad did such an amazing parenting job to have po questioning things 20 years later and all bc he happened to run into a villain that reminded him of something not even questioning it by himself.
In the third movie is where it actually makes sense why Po was chosen as the Dragon Warrior
I think its funny how in the stairs scene po is carried by a gorilla because Jack Black who voices po was in a King Kong movie 😂
@reactswithjax your voice is SO calming! 💖
You are so beautiful and delightful 🥰 I know I've told you before how amazing your laugh is and it is truly so endearing : ) oh and your intro music is so calming thank you for that : )
“Pain heels, chicks dig scars, and glory lasts forever!”-Shane Falco Toothless is coming for Lamby😂
Hahahaha! Toothless would never hurt Lamby! 😂 But just to be safe, they should be kept a safe distance apart.
Jax has become one of my new top favorite reactors, keep up the good work ❤❤❤
THANK YOU! I am so glad you like my reactions so much!!! ❤️🥳
The third one is the best in my opinion. I hope to see the reaction. Please 🥺
I will definitely be watching it! It should be out in a few weeks. I'm so glad you said you loved the third one. That makes me excited to see it! ❤️🎉
I've been loving your movie reactions Jax.😃🥰
Love watching movies with you Jax your reactions make me laugh smile and cry always look forward to your Friday morning upload. Looking forward to watching Age of Ultron with you your going tonlove it!!!
This woman's smile and laugh could melt a glacier. I hope she never goes to the arctic or antarctic :o
I am constantly surprised by how often the sheep thing comes up with Lamy. When I first found your channel was all "Oh thats sweet, anyway..." and then the How to Train your Dragon opening which will be forever priceless. But it seems sheep were snuck into movies more than I ever noticed before lol
I agree! I never noticed how often movies have sheep in them. Haha! 😂
The best trilogy of all time. The goal with sequences is never to better one than previous ones but to tell the story with continuity and spontaneity.
hard fought with How to train your dragon trilogy. Both incredible trilogies that just get better
One Gary Larson's favorite works, which was never published, was of a bar scene with mantises. One of them is a headless male. The caption is "Women!". The joke, of course, refers to the nature of mantis breeding where the female often bites the male's head off.
Wanna know what's ironic and I just now realized? Gary Oldman voices a Fire Guardian Dragon in The Legend of Spyro series named Ignitus, you can see the nods with the Cannons, Fireworks (Breathing Fireball Bombs & Raining them during Fire Fury/Elemental Magic Blast) and desiring China which includes Red in the flag.
Edit:Wait I could be wrong that his Fire Fury rains Fireball Bombs but I feel it isn't.
This one is my favourite out of all the movies! I’m so happy you did this!!!
This movie was awesome! Very impressive for a sequel.
Happy 4th of July weekend JAX & Lamby... Hope you have a great holiday weekend!
Thanks for the fun review!
M-
I've never cried before. I watch so many emotional movies and animation. I have a little emotion. For example everyone cried after seeing 'UP'. But it didn’t effect me. I don't know why people cried. But this movie when po's mother leaves him in the bucket, I cried a little bit. Especially when baby po cried😢😢
You have no idea how long I waited for this video
Gran videorracion, maravillosa secuela en mi opinión ✨️.
