Kung Fu Panda Trilogy
 

Anyone a fan of these films? Being a tmnt forum, I expected more discussion about these films since they have talking animals doing martial arts.

Honestly, there's so many good things to discuss about the Kfp trilogy, one post is not even close to enough. The animation and soundtrack is superb, and the trilogy is both extremely funny and full of heart/drama.

Hard to choose a favourite character since there are so many, but one who always stuck out to me is Mr Ping. He is just so likeable and charming with his love for noodles and how is so supportive of Po.

The villains are pretty stellar too. Tai Lung and Shen are both terrifying in how full of rage and genocidal they are, and while Kai doesn't have the same aura of terror, his design, theme song and chi powers are still all incredibly cool ontop of him being the strongest villain in-lore.

Discuss away, or see these films first if you haven't already.

Nah man. :lol:

But why though?

I liked them, but I like Kung Fu Movies and Jack Black.

Eh, reasons. Time being limited and my patience even more so. Not a big fan of Jack Black outside of Brutal Legend. Don't really care much for kids movies at 40-ish, outside of movies I watched and enjoyed AS a kid. Lots of reasons. I won't claim they're good or great reasons, but they're mine.

I've watched first two movies, but they felt like generic Dreamworks "funny animals do funny faces and some heartpulling stuff", so they didn't do anything for me.

Seen the first, and I have somewhat fond memories of the tv series. Mostly nostalgia cause when I used to work night shift, I'd grab a bite at a nearby place before clocking in and that show was what happened to be on at the time.

Never saw the sequels. Were they any good? Did they keep the same voice actors (other than Jack Black of course).

I enjoy them, some of the better dreamworks films, along with shrek.

I enjoyed them but not as much fun as Shrek 1 and 2, How to Train Your Dragon, Monsters vs Aliens, and Megamind.

All I can say is that the movies are the ultimate example of not judging a book by its cover. Similar to Mlp: Fim which the average person might think "ewwww little girls cartoon" upon getting a glimpse of it.

Also, you're FORTY!!??? You must be taking real good care of your health, because you look much younger in recent photos and videos of yourself.

I enjoyed the tv series as well, even though I have only seen a handful of episodes. The replacement voice actors fooled me, especially the guy who substitutes for Jack Black as Po.

The sequels are arguably even better than the first film, even though I like all three equally. The second is especially held in high regard for being the most action packed and having dark moments, while the third is the most lighthearted and colourful (in a good way).

And yes, all the voice actors for recurring characters stay the same throughout all three films.

Aww, that's sweet. Yep, it'll be 40 in September.

It's very simple: Nothing up the nose, nothing in the vein, no opiates, no cigarettes, only drink alcohol within reason and generally only for holidays and special occasions.

It cannot be from avoiding stress because I am the most high-strung person who's ever lived. And it can't be genetic because my family's genes are terrible. So I mostly just chalk it up to lifestyle. Gotta be somethin'.

All God ever gave me were my looks so I'm trying really hard to hang on as long as I can.

I loved the first one the best, second was ok but the third kind of turned me away.

I did watch the Nick series during those, nothing special about it.

We have a new up coming series for this franchise which I might check out, sounds interesting.

Po and Tigeress ( Is that how you spell her name?} was my favorites.
