In the first movie, Po's father being a goose was just a minor gag that the writers came up with for fun, but then the sequels turned it into one of the most tragic yet uplifting and beautiful stories in animation history.
Kinda late here but I think it's a cool fact: Tigress came from a orphanage where every one feared her for her tiger strength, until Shifu adopted her and tought her how to control her strength. This actually explains why she sympathises so much with Po wanting to know about his real parents.
My only quibble there would be the use of "real" parents. Speaking as an adopted person, the people who loved you and raised you are your real parents. The people who physically produced you are your biological parents. I'm not trying to be argumentative, mind you; just informative. 🙂
@@kriscynical True, Po's real parent is Mr. Ping as much as it is Li. However, I feel like Shifu isn't a real parent towards Tigress because he just helped her survive, not live.
@@rongsun1905idk I saw him as her father but he couldn’t be openly affectionate with her because of what happened with Tai Lung. He blamed himself for the way Tai Lung turned out so he restrained himself with Tigress. At least that’s how I saw it
It's amazing how this movie can make a peacock of all animals so scary. I've always considered Lord Shen the closest thing DreamWorks has to Scar, Disney's best villain. He's cold, calculating, his past directly ties in with the protagonist's, and there's so much depth to his character, plus Gary Oldman's performance is impeccable. I also love Po's struggle to find his true self and inner peace, and that "Po Finds the Truth" sequence in the panda village is so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking.
34:41 I still find it hilarious how Po’s hand is on fire, and despite being entirely surrounded by water, he just shoves his hand in his mouth instead. 🤣🤣🤣
I read that Shen actually didn't want to take over China and knew that it wouldn't bring him happiness or satisfaction but at that point, he had committed so much atrocities that he felt as though he had to finish what he started. When he closed his eyes in the end, he pretty much was welcoming death.
Fun fact, the leader of the wolf army is the same wolf that Po's dad hits with his hammer in the flashback of the panda genocide, you can even see the wound Po's dad gave him with his hammer! Ironically, that same wolf hits po in the face with a hammer in the film's opening fight!
29:08 It's so horrifying because Po's mom can't move that fast, and Shen and his wolves are so close, you know they caught up with her the second she was out of our sight.
@@christopherrincon-eh2bn How long was she in pain? Did she die just hoping and praying they would'nt immediately discover Po after she's passed? etc. etc.
The fact that she signals the wolves to follow her in the hopes they wouldn't find the son is metal. That's something only true love can do. Incredibly brave. Gut wrenching everytime I see it.
Someone at Dreamworks really knows what they're doing when it comes to sequels. Kung Fu Panda 2, Shrek 2, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 are all better than their first entries, which is saying something, because the originals are all great.
1.I'm enough of a man to admit that the sequence where he overcomes his trauma and remembers the sacrifice his mother made for him, still makes me tear up a bit. 2. Shen is a fantastic villain . The fact that he commits so many atrocities and yet the movie is still able to make you feel a tinge of pity for him. He wants to conquer China not because he thinks it will make him happy, but rather because he's in so deep that there's just no point in turning back. 3. Friendly reminder that this kids' movie covered dealing with trauma, self hate and atrocities like literal genocide with more maturity than like half the rated R movies out there lol.
The third point though. I think most studios overlook the fact that there are kids out there that have experienced genocide. And to teach other kids what it does to people and how this evil of a thing affects families is important. It teaches them empathy. They often get too scared it'll be too dark but then it gets forgettable
This movie is incredibly special for me. I saw it early on a Saturday morning and the only other people in the theater were a little boy (probably around 5 years old) and his mom. During the sequence where Po is remembering his mom I just happened to turn to see the little boy tears in his eyes look up at his mom and give her the biggest hug you could imagine. It sticks with me because that's how powerful animation is and why I'm always trying to keep my standards for animated movies high.
Movies like this are why I hate the excuse "it's just a kid's movie" when a film is lackluster or bad. These movies are visually gorgeous, emotionally captivating, and so fun all the way through. Kids deserve that level of quality and care in what they watch. I love this series!
It took me a long time to understand why I loved this movie so much. As an adopted person it resonated with me but as I got older the feelings of abandonment took over until I learned why I was given up. Like Po my adoption was the result of a war that left my people decimated and my parents wanted me to have a better and safer life. This movie made me feel ok with my last while embracing me present
Out of the 3, this one is my personal favorite. I just really liked the messages and symbolisms they added in here. As well as learning more about Po and his backstory, which gets me every time. The Kung Fu Panda movies will always have a special place in my heart. Not to mention, Hans Zimmer’s scores tops it off.

Same. They are all great, but this one…just has something special.
God I love how the Five treat Po like one of them in this no matter what. While it was a little misunderstanding the fact that Tigress instinctively wants to judge Po for not realizing he was adopted earlier, but still trying to comfort him and help him through it is so heartwarming to me.
Safe travels, Coy! Also, just want to let you guys know that the third movie feels like it was made more for kids the most so it might not be as gripping as the first two in the franchise but that's just my two cents! Hope you enjoy it still!
There is this video that comlies all 3 of them in a heart achng trailer you all should realllllyyyy watch it ill spam it as soon as you do part 3 its sooo amazing
I know Coy's mentioned he cant normally connect with animation as strongly as he does with live action so seeing him be this impacted just goes to show how amazing this movie is. Kung Fu Panda 2 and Into the SpiderVerse go back and forth for me as the greatest animated movies of all time
Kung Fu Panda 2, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Shrek 2 are prime examples of how to improve on a story with a sequel. And they all came from Dreamworks
I'm only at 14:17, but when the soothsayer gave the peacock the same premonition, it was a throwback to what Oogway said in the first movie. “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.”
I love how Po, the five, shifu and the two masters attacking Shen's boats in the harbour has a similar soundtrack as Po's dream in the first movie. Really shows how far he's come.
First time I saw this movie, I was late to the theater and arrived just after the backstory of the genocide. It made the reveal that much more heart stabbing later on. KFP2 is hands down my favorite film in the trilogy.
No matter how many times I watch this movie I’m always tearing up during the flashback scene at the panda village and Po’s mom. That juts goes to show how great a movie and sequel this is
Man I love this movie! Also, some of the pandas were still slaughtered guys, it wasn't only Po's mom! That's referenced when Shen says there's no more pandas, hinting that the ones we see at the end are the ones that managed to escape!
Shen's final conversation with the Soothsayer was my favorite part of the film. So little dialogue in such a short scene, but it says so much and shows a brief, remorseful side to Shen before he finally succumbs to his madness, realizing he's past the point of no return, and that there is no way he can get out of this after all that he's done to end up in the situation in the first place
Just the complete "oomph" when you realise genocide is how far Shen would go to claim his "birth right". Gary Oldman was the perfect cast for the type of villain Shen is
I think this movie has the best villain, but the last movie has the most heart in my opinion. I was adopted from a young age so i know what its like to be raised by people who don't look like me. This movie and trilogy not only gave me more respect towards my parents, but also to my birth mom who couldn't raise me (why she put me up for adoption). I never met her but i knew that she respected and loved me enough to to allow me to live the life she wanted me to have. I'm not even 10 minutes into this reaction and it's already bringing me back to how much this movie made me think about my journey to where i am (when i saw this). This trilogy and the story of found family rivals the guardians of the galaxy and is the perfect story for kids to grow up with. Ended up going on a little tangent but with all that said, Coy, have a great time out of the county! Greg, keep being the best at what you do. Love your reactions and post reaction talks, cant wait for the final reaction!!
This movie made me cry, it helped me get through a dark part of my life when I was struggling to let go of the past but this movie helped me out with it. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is full of great and wise messages but the second movie is just so special to me. Thank you for covering this movie guys and for covering this franchise! I love your videos and you guys just seem like great people. Keep up the great work guys! ❤
One of the reasons I really love Shen as a villain is because of his ending. Faced with defeat at the hands of a righteous protagonist, a lot of movies like this would try and have Shen become a better person or be redeemed, but I appreciate that he actively chooses to continue being evil at the end. It ended up being his ultimate undoing, but he made the conscious decision to walk down that path.
Something diferent about shen is that he is the only one that is at all times like "i'm gonna kill the pandas, i'm gonna kill the masters, i'm gonna kill po", the other ones have it a little lighter, trying to defeat po and capture something, but shen is really trying to kill everyone who opposes to him. Tai lung is definetly the most iconic villain, but shen is the one with the most depth and diferent, which makes him my favorite
I love how much Po's dad loves him. You can literally feel it in his words. And the panic he had when Po asked him from where he came from, is such a fear I bet most adoptive parent have, that their kids will try to find and reunite with their biological family and they will be replaced and forgotten.
personally this is my fav one out of the trilogy. they elevated so much from the first one and the villain is actually scary and menacing, mostly due to Gary's performance and the red lighting they often put him under. also the fact they kept the trait of the peacock being a vain and egotistical animal was brilliant. cant wait to see u guys conclude the trilogy once Coy comes back! also please consider reacting to How to Train Your Dragon next if u haven't watched it1
From what I’ve heard, this film was pretty controversial when it came out, as many people thought it was too dark and violent for a kids film. That might help explain the lower ratings from the first film. I completely agree with you guys though that it’s much better
Fun fact: The movie's creative team travelled all the way to The Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base in a place called Chengdu, of Sichuan province, China(PR) to study the behaviour of panda cubs for inspiration to create those cute and memorable scenes featuring Baby Po.
Shen has to be my favourite villain of the series so unhinged and truly evil I love his quote. This is your parting gift because it will part you part of you there part of you over here and a part of you waaaaay over there… staining the WALL.
Me just finding out that they had Danny McBride play the wolf boss is actually something I didn’t expect to learn today 12 years after the movie came out 😭
One of my favorite iconic, inspiring quotes that means a lot to me is: "Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be". Especially for being in Therapy, for 3-4 years. Trying to heal and recover 🌈🌠⭐️🌟
Oh frick yeah. The first one may be my biggest comfort movie. But this one just takes everything I love and slams it to 11. Love these reactions and love y’all.
This entire movie is just a masterpiece. :D I gotta say, what I always found the most interesting was Shen’s relationship with the soothsayer. You can feel something there, some kind of history, a sense of him caring about her that Shen can’t seem to shake despite everything, and that she still cares about him despite helping to bring about his end. He’s so harsh with his followers, but he lets her get away with things he’d absolutely knife one of the wolves for, like eating his robes. And in the end, he lets her go, when he absolutely could have killed her instead, and it probably would have even made more sense from his perspective to do so, since she ended up giving Po the push he needed to go back and face Shen again. I want to know more about their story. How long did he know her before her prophecy and his exile? Was she part of the palace staff while he was growing up? Was she a friend or even parental figure to him growing up maybe?
Shen taunting Po by saying that his parents didn't loved him and abandoned when all this is what literally happened with Shen being thrown into exile by his own Parents......Some insight in the character
This is one of the most consistently funny and good trilogy's I've ever seen. the third movie isn't quite as good as the second but it isn't awful in any meaningful way either. It's still at least as good as the first at it's worst (though the soundtrack is miles better than either of the first two movies imo.) everything about this movie just works so well. Gotta say my favorite part of all the movies is the progression of Po and Tigress's relationship. The level of trust and care shown between them without ever really coming off as romantic is just beautiful.
9:47 The fact he says that so casually it was like he was gone for one day while person robbed his house, even though he was gone for a long, long time
"Its a gift, uh its your parting gift...In that it will part you. Part of you here part of you there...and part of you waayyy over there, STAINING THE WALL!" -Shen
Fun fact the furious five were chosen after the fighting styles of kung fu. Mantis style, Tiger style, Viper style, Monkey style, and Crane style. The only made up style is Panda style which is po being able to reflect whatever is thrown at him.
Not only is this the best Kung fu panda film imo but I also think this is the greatest animated movie of all time and I will stand by that until the day I DIE!!!!
I remember when I saw this for the first time. I was simply blown away by how good it was, and a lot of lesser critics were saying it was fantastic and were equally confused as to why it was being scored so low. This movie is a better sequel than most, and I'd put it up there with some of the best animated movies of all time. Its always a joy to come back and rewatch. It has a lot of celebrity cameos but I don't think they take away from how good the performances are, and the humor is always on point and never feels out of place. Its also just gorgeous, especially when the 3D and 2D effects are blended so seamlessly. The entire picture is a work of art.
Yep Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD are the two series that I remember just being like sure it’s animation, I’ll watch it and then FALLING IN LOVE. I feel so privileged to have seen the entirety of each trilogy in theaters 🥰 both big favorites
If y’all ever want more kung fu panda content after the movies I HIGHLY recommend this 25 minute short film called Secrets of the Furious Five. It’s mostly done in that flashback style of animation and shows the backgrounds of the furious five, really wonderfully done. Thanks for these reactions as always :)
Kung Fu Panda 2 is the best of the 3 (personally). Third is much lighter, 2nd was a perfect blend of humor, dark, heart and the BEST background score. Shen was such a great villain, he is also a powerful kung fu master but has the brains too! I never thought a peacock could be so intimidating! And my favourite two moments is shifu’s entrance “your friend there is very persuasive!” And the last “I am your son” just *chef’s kiss* KFP3 is a nice wrap to the trilogy but is not as good as the 2nd. But kung fu panda is a SOLID trilogy
I still cannot believe how much of a gem this movie was. It’s incredibly rare for a sequel to meet the standard of its predecessor, especially when the first film sets such a high standard, but this film managed to exceed to original. They improved on the already brilliant choreography and animation, gathered a somehow even more star studded cast without overcrowding, and delivered on both a story and villain that outmatched KPF1. The awe I felt when realising that Shen was a better villain than Tai Lung (my then all-time favourite villain) is a feeling I’ll never forget. Easily a top 5 all time animation film. Great reaction as always guys..
The flashbacks are in 2D animation till po accepts his past because it is just a dream for him. Once he accepts the past it becomes 3D because it really happened.

Tbh i find shen more scary then scar
He also manages to be funny
Peacocks are plenty scary in real life to be honest. I had one stab its claws into my calf and try to peck me to death as a kid, would NOT recommend

Try being chased by a Peacock 😂

Something diferent about shen is that he is the only one that is at all times like "i'm gonna kill the pandas, i'm gonna kill the masters, i'm gonna kill po", the other ones have it a little lighter, trying to defeat po and capture something, but shen is really trying to kill everyone who opposes to him.
Tai lung is definetly the most iconic villain, but shen is the one with the most depth and diferent, which makes him my favorite
Tai Lung is a better character. Shen is a better villain
I love how much Po's dad loves him. You can literally feel it in his words. And the panic he had when Po asked him from where he came from, is such a fear I bet most adoptive parent have, that their kids will try to find and reunite with their biological family and they will be replaced and forgotten.
The way these guys break movies down and analyze them in the conclusion is stellar. I love listening to it
Ah thanks friend!
This is one of the very few animations that just keeps getting better. Love the reaction by the way
His dad was protecting him with a farming tool not master rhino’s hammer. Literally everyone misinterprets that.
personally this is my fav one out of the trilogy. they elevated so much from the first one and the villain is actually scary and menacing, mostly due to Gary's performance and the red lighting they often put him under. also the fact they kept the trait of the peacock being a vain and egotistical animal was brilliant. cant wait to see u guys conclude the trilogy once Coy comes back!
also please consider reacting to How to Train Your Dragon next if u haven't watched it1
YEEEESSSSSS! Never has a peacock been more intimidating. If I remember right, this was a first time director, in which case, DAMN.
I love that the first video got enough traction to justify these next reactions, especially since this one is my favorite
6:59 The “Feet of Fury” attack was the move Po did in his dream in the beginning of the first movie
From what I’ve heard, this film was pretty controversial when it came out, as many people thought it was too dark and violent for a kids film. That might help explain the lower ratings from the first film. I completely agree with you guys though that it’s much better
Fun fact: The movie's creative team travelled all the way to The Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base in a place called Chengdu, of Sichuan province, China(PR) to study the behaviour of panda cubs for inspiration to create those cute and memorable scenes featuring Baby Po.
The Kung fu panda series where every new part its just keeps getting more awesome
In my opinion, this is one of the best sequels ever. What a fantastic story and villain.
Shen has to be my favourite villain of the series so unhinged and truly evil I love his quote.
This is your parting gift because it will part you part of you there part of you over here and a part of you waaaaay over there… staining the WALL.
for those who dont know his reaction to po at 20:39 was a genuine reaction from the voice actor that they left in because it fit so well
Me just finding out that they had Danny McBride play the wolf boss is actually something I didn’t expect to learn today 12 years after the movie came out 😭
One of my favorite iconic, inspiring quotes that means a lot to me is: "Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be". Especially for being in Therapy, for 3-4 years. Trying to heal and recover 🌈🌠⭐️🌟
Shen is on the same level as Death from the new puss in boots movie for me. Just completely capturing everyone’s attention when they’re onscreen.
Oh frick yeah. The first one may be my biggest comfort movie. But this one just takes everything I love and slams it to 11. Love these reactions and love y’all.
So glad you’ll react to the whole trilogy! The most nostalgic dreamworks franchise for me
Easily the best Kung Fu Panda movie out of the bunch. I love how darker it is and how personal it is for Po.
This entire movie is just a masterpiece. :D I gotta say, what I always found the most interesting was Shen’s relationship with the soothsayer. You can feel something there, some kind of history, a sense of him caring about her that Shen can’t seem to shake despite everything, and that she still cares about him despite helping to bring about his end. He’s so harsh with his followers, but he lets her get away with things he’d absolutely knife one of the wolves for, like eating his robes. And in the end, he lets her go, when he absolutely could have killed her instead, and it probably would have even made more sense from his perspective to do so, since she ended up giving Po the push he needed to go back and face Shen again. I want to know more about their story. How long did he know her before her prophecy and his exile? Was she part of the palace staff while he was growing up? Was she a friend or even parental figure to him growing up maybe?
One of Dreamworks best and one of the best films of 2011
So glad you guys are watching all of these! Please finish the series!!!
Are we about to fear a peacock? Yes guys we are 😂
That peacock's design is so memorable
Shen taunting Po by saying that his parents didn't loved him and abandoned when all this is what literally happened with Shen being thrown into exile by his own Parents......Some insight in the character
This is one of the most consistently funny and good trilogy's I've ever seen. the third movie isn't quite as good as the second but it isn't awful in any meaningful way either. It's still at least as good as the first at it's worst (though the soundtrack is miles better than either of the first two movies imo.) everything about this movie just works so well. Gotta say my favorite part of all the movies is the progression of Po and Tigress's relationship. The level of trust and care shown between them without ever really coming off as romantic is just beautiful.
Kung-fu Panda 2 is one of my favourite animated films of all time xD
To me this is one of my favorite films ever. I could watch this over and over from the story to the cast animation etc you name it . I love this part.
9:47 The fact he says that so casually it was like he was gone for one day while person robbed his house, even though he was gone for a long, long time
Yes! Let the Sequel reactions commence!
"Its a gift, uh its your parting gift...In that it will part you. Part of you here part of you there...and part of you waayyy over there, STAINING THE WALL!" -Shen
Can’t wait for your KungFu Panda 3 Reaction! Keep it up Rejects ❤
This is one of my all time favourite movies and I'm so happy you guys are watching it
So glad you got to #2 so quickly! Can't wait for #3! Legit so glad you enjoyed this!
Fun fact the furious five were chosen after the fighting styles of kung fu. Mantis style, Tiger style, Viper style, Monkey style, and Crane style. The only made up style is Panda style which is po being able to reflect whatever is thrown at him.
Not only is this the best Kung fu panda film imo but I also think this is the greatest animated movie of all time and I will stand by that until the day I DIE!!!!
This is one of the few animated movies that I would give a perfect 10/10. I have absolutely no problem at all with this movie.
I totally adore the first movie, but this one is on a whole different level. Fantastic doesn't even begin to describe it.
I remember when I saw this for the first time. I was simply blown away by how good it was, and a lot of lesser critics were saying it was fantastic and were equally confused as to why it was being scored so low. This movie is a better sequel than most, and I'd put it up there with some of the best animated movies of all time. Its always a joy to come back and rewatch. It has a lot of celebrity cameos but I don't think they take away from how good the performances are, and the humor is always on point and never feels out of place. Its also just gorgeous, especially when the 3D and 2D effects are blended so seamlessly. The entire picture is a work of art.
27:29 😂😂 ive been cackling this whole reaction but that got me
This is definitely my favorite Dream Works Movie. Really glad you guys decided to react to them.
For those that don’t know, Master Croc was voiced by Jean Claude Van Damme!
He even does the signature Van Damme split we he comes out the water 😂
The first movie was so joyful. The second movie was so tear jerking. Love this franchise.
Yep Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD are the two series that I remember just being like sure it’s animation, I’ll watch it and then FALLING IN LOVE. I feel so privileged to have seen the entirety of each trilogy in theaters 🥰 both big favorites
If y’all ever want more kung fu panda content after the movies I HIGHLY recommend this 25 minute short film called Secrets of the Furious Five. It’s mostly done in that flashback style of animation and shows the backgrounds of the furious five, really wonderfully done. Thanks for these reactions as always :)
The floor in the prison has a yin yang design in the above shot when Tigress confronts Poe, nice touch...
Kung Fu Panda 2 is the best of the 3 (personally). Third is much lighter, 2nd was a perfect blend of humor, dark, heart and the BEST background score.
Shen was such a great villain, he is also a powerful kung fu master but has the brains too! I never thought a peacock could be so intimidating!
And my favourite two moments is shifu’s entrance “your friend there is very persuasive!” And the last “I am your son” just *chef’s kiss*
KFP3 is a nice wrap to the trilogy but is not as good as the 2nd. But kung fu panda is a SOLID trilogy
This movie was my favorite childhood movie and still is my favorite animated movie ever. So happy to finally see y'all react to it!!😁🙏
Glad yall enjoyed this one too, now yall gotta see the 3rd one!!! Oh and fun fact, a 4th is to be released next year
The way you two cheered when Shi-Fu came back warmed my very soul.
I still cannot believe how much of a gem this movie was. It’s incredibly rare for a sequel to meet the standard of its predecessor, especially when the first film sets such a high standard, but this film managed to exceed to original. They improved on the already brilliant choreography and animation, gathered a somehow even more star studded cast without overcrowding, and delivered on both a story and villain that outmatched KPF1. The awe I felt when realising that Shen was a better villain than Tai Lung (my then all-time favourite villain) is a feeling I’ll never forget. Easily a top 5 all time animation film. Great reaction as always guys..
The flashbacks are in 2D animation till po accepts his past because it is just a dream for him. Once he accepts the past it becomes 3D because it really happened.
i cannot emphasise how good this film is. im SO happy my favourite reactors watched it, tysm
"Nothing of the vision as changed"
As a wise turtle said once in the first movie: "Sometimes one meets his own destiny on the road taken to avoid it".
