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

[DirtyDan]

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.

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 💜

[randomuser.]

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.

[NigelJoaquin]

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

[AdamIshak]

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.” 😂❤

[pricemoore]

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

[skullgamer]

Jack Black is just as Iconic as Jim Carrey.

[Jamie_Winsh]

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

[andreamorgan]

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❤

[TheSouparna]

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

[darkclaw]

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!!

[obibraxton]

4:08 😮 I’m so glad I clicked on this video because wow the way that unlocked a memory of me going to the cinema to watch Nacho Libre haven’t seen that film since 😭 but I recall really enjoying it.

[Assman]

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

[Fan-Nimater]

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

[billyriedel]

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

[alwaystired]

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

[RedRaikou]

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.

[jkomodo]

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.

[Nite_light]

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