"He was able to become a hero of China because she was a hero for him first" man i need a minute too real,
She can finally rest in peace knowing that her murderer, Lord Shen is finally dead and gone for good. Is anyone sad for his mom?
Ath crying
Issac can you show tirgress story
please
s
The scene where Li tells Po about his mother is probably one of my favorite scenes in the third movie because you’d think the filmmakers would have just forgotten all about her and just focus on Po and Li but no they actually dedicate a whole scene of Li telling Po how much he loved his wife and how much losing her and his son was so devastating for him and how much it means for him to have found his son again.
nice theory. And nice job for getting a shout out in the video
I wish they mentioned Shen and how Po overcame this nightmare
The scene with Li and Ping is really good too.
HarmonE the Animation Addict Agreed
"Who was Po's mother?"
My childhood feels. That's who.
I am crying
@@edulee1861 I cried about this as well
So do I!
I didnt cry but stay strong at the same time😢
Now this is just a theory but could Po mom name be what his father calls him
Lotus? to remember her
the kung fu panda franchise is underrated imo
True that! It's just such a fun series, and I don't know why more people don't love it!
@@IsaacCarlson do a Mr Peabody and Sherman video
Kind of, but if it took down Pixar and Disney and got the Oscar instead of it and it would be better known
@HUMIRAH JAHIR UDDIN 4B ye, it’s one of my faves
Shen was the dominant one in the film no one had anything better than the peacock except Tai lang
Dude.. the way she tried to comfort po before leaving him to distract the wolfes always make me cry
Grammar error. Spelled wolves wrong
@@stormsmith6772 Shut up. r/wooosh
11 years later, that scene still makes me cry
@@kinge12007 same bro this is one of my fav dream works films next to HTTYD 2 because of this scene , this scene was so impactful and really emotional
@@stormsmith6772bro really correcting people outside of an argument
I actually don't want her to be alive.. I know that her and Po meeting would be a heartwarming moment but her sacrificing her life in order to save Po was a good tragedy and i woudn't want any plotwists or something like that...
That fact his father is alive is ruined all tragedy. Why he didnt helped her
@@sanzharzaitenov5268 Because Li (the father) was busy trying to help and save other panda families from being killed by Shen and his wolf men.
@@sanzharzaitenov5268 Li Shan helped Po and his mother to escape bruh....he held the ground for the village and Po. Otherwise Po would have been dead on the spot
I feel like it would be cool, if got to meet her in the spirit realm. Like he did with oogway.
Po's mother's death is even sadder the Mufasa's death, mainly because in lion king they played sad music over his death, while Po's mom's death they played even sadder music
It's sadder cuz of the circumstances. They both died saving their son, but with Po, we see her say goodbye, we see her tears and the desperate look in her eyes as she tries to quiet her baby, then see her go off, knowing Shen is about to kill her. It's devastating.
@@WobblesandBean agreed
@@WobblesandBean Agreed :(
Po had it worse. While Scar committed Regicide and Usurpation, Shen committed Genocide, Assassination of Authorities, Oppression, and Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction
Hans Zimmer actually did the score for both.
He's one of the GOATS when it comes to film scores.
I really wanna see Li in his Prime. Because in the flashback He actually fight the soldier when they attack
I’m loving these Kung fu panda theories
SAME! DreamWorks really has some amazing stories to enjoy!
Wotso Videos that is AWESOME to hear!
@@IsaacCarlson Do you think there will be another Kung Fu Panda film where we can find out who Po's mother is and if she is still alive just like Po's father.
Even though she only appeared briefly, Po's mother is probably the most important character in the entire Kung Fu Panda franchise. In sacrificing herself so that her son could live, she indirectly saved China.
That scene hits hard! I cried so much when po's mom left him. But whe had to.
I can just imagine in the new kung fu panda movie there's a black armoured female villain then in the climax she beats up po and in the end of the movie she would go "I am your mother!" And then to a new sequel
Wait theres a kung fu panda 4?
That would literally be insane and I would be all for it!
@@IsaacCarlson I can imagine a kfpcu (king fu panda cinematic universe)
@@zackcascio5652 as oogway puts it-"Who knows?"
Star wars all over again 🤣. As long as she's wearing a black helmet with a breathing pipe🤣🤣🤣
You know when Tai Lung says "He's a Panda! You're a Panda!" The thing is is that he could have overhead about Shen and other criminals if the guards were talking about putting more criminals in his prison. I mean I could totally hear the main guard harrassing him saying "Your a criminal and not even a worthy criminal of this prison. Did you hear about the prince of Gong Men City, Shen? He murdered an entire species! Let me tell you, you ain't seeing anymore pandas no more. Now if anyone is worthy of this security, its him. He makes you look pathetic".
Also part of me wishes that this video was made on mothers day.
Never thought of that. Thanks for mentioning that. I t is possible that Tai Lung could have heard about Shen. Luckily they didn't mention Shen in the first movie because it would have been confusing.
Po's mom was a true mom to the very end. Choosing to sacrifice herself in order for her son to live.
Little baby Po is the cutest thing ever. 😊
No strpy baby who has tigres action figure
Cuteness overload ❤️
I wish I could eat him I went to Taiwan In 2015 and one thing I learned was that panda meat tastes amazing
@@boxing_centre0145 nah greeny baby
@@suburbanburrito210 no
The scene where Po remembered can make you cry. She sacrificed herself to save his life. A mother's love
*When I was younger, I tried to stay away from radishes because of his dreams in KFP 2.*
Did those sad scenes make you do that?
@@jackbartholomaus6510 *Well, the fact that it's the symbol of the leader of a mass genocide is kinda scary so, I was scared and it wasn't the sad scenes.*
@@shantilalla1014 I feel like both the scenes made me sad, and I don't know why but speaking of genocide, I feel like what Shen did is easily similar to atrocities committed during the Second World War, don't you agree?
The 2-D animation was meant to represent dreams, not flashbacks.
As soon as I read your comment, I knew you were right! Great catch! That makes much more sense!
2-D animation represents dreams
3-D animation represents the present/the real truth
The Chinese paper art that was shown in the beginning of KFP 2 represents the past.
Its still shown Po's mom's in *3-D* now that made it more sad
Po's mother can finally rest in peace knowing that her murderer, Lord Shen is finally dead and gone for good.
I love all your laughs and chuckles! They're so cute! Is that weird to say? Sorry if that's weird to say.
I mean his name means laughter so it makes sense ❤️
I'm happy you enjoy it! I have started to try to laugh and have more fun when I'm recording!
No, it's not weird. His personality is the whole reason why I'm a hardcore subscriber lol 👌🏾
@@itstheundisputedsagboo same, I love his energy
@@eviebradney2068 Exactly. Couldn't agree more
Shout out to Mr Ping. Best Dad Po can have.
Mr. Ping and Li are the best team up!
"He may have been your father boy, but he wasn't your daddy"
@@IsaacCarlson And Shifu
@@noangles1564 man, po has triple the dad jokes
@@IsaacCarlson it would be pretty neat if they could have another movie. with Poe's mother probably residing in the spirit Realm just like Master Oogway,
Why does Po's dad, who looks to be a warrior in Po's flashbacks/memories in the second movie, as well as a spiritual master of some sort, but is this goofy, relatively incompetent panda in the third?
Old age, I think that's why.
I believe it's a way of him coping his "dead" family by trying to be goofy to try to cheer himself up. And possibly try to cheer up/help the pandas who lost family members in that calamity too.
In the third movie po s dad fought well because he used brute force and wanted to protect his family,in the third movie po s dad still grieves but tries to cheer himself and those around him by being a goofball, also he lost a lot of fighting experience from years staying out of combat and his grief had a huge factor (ex in avengers endgame tony stark due to grief became incompetent for combat in the start of the film)
I think that she is dead but since Po has his dad now his dad could tell Po more about her and maybe their past could be brought up?
maybe she was a fighter
I cried at the scene when Po was trying to remember his mother... and now you asked who's po's mother.. my heart broke a lil. She was a strong woman
I love how the two sequels show that both his parents were very loving and were willing to do anything to make sure their son survived.
Tigress is my favourite Kung Fu Panda character. I have a plush of her that I imagine is Grand Aunt Tigress, a Story which was part of the inspiration of Little Red Riding Hood.
Po's mother was such a gentle and kind soul , too bad she had to leave too soon
She didnt leave Po behind. She left him there and then ran off and alerted the wolves to where she was and let them follow and capture/kill her so that they wouldn't notice Po and he might get to safety in those radish carts which he did. She sacrificed herself.
I almost forgot ya made other videos besides Disney topics! I'm glad to see you doing this topic!
Sometimes it's important to just jump into stories that I love and Kung Fu Panda is definitely one of them! I've really grown an appreciation for studios beyond Disney throughout my time on CZcams
That vegetables scene made my little child heart cry
Awww
Let me guess. Po's beloved biological mother was killed by Lord Shen and his wolf army?
You are absolutely right, but there were some other interesting pieces of trivia and theories I had around her that I wanted to discuss after I saw the request!
I believe they are actually hyenas!
Well, some pandas survived while some didn't.
Will there be a Fourth movie? Im just curious. :)
I think there’s supposed to be 6 actually
I think po has PSTD because of the past and trauma.
1. He was getting abandoned by his mother and she got killed.
2.He was in guilt by Shen after mentioning the flashbacks and nightmares
3.Lord Shen traumatised him by explaining for what happened
4.Even if po’s asleep, he gets the traumatic event.
I think po has it because of his trauma, past, and stress as he gets all the flashbacks when he sees the symbol on the wolves armor, po was recently traumatised because of the trauma over his mother’s death. PSTD is a disorder that occurs trauma, flashbacks, and traumatic events also nightmares.
As I realised that he has it, yes he let his past go. But I wanted to know what is his mother’s name. You know that everytime he ever sees it. He gets so many of flashbacks. As you know some people has PSTD because of their trauma as I know how they feel about themselves and their loved ones.
I kinda hope she doesn't make a return. It would totally undermine her sacrifice, Po and Li's loss/tragedy, and the extent of Shen's evil. I love her as a character and do hope we learn more about her, but through the lens of Li's memory and maybe some flashbacks.
If Po would meet his Mother again I Would like to See Her with in the Spirit Realm.
Maby with a little help of master Oogway🐢🤩
Y'know, it's fun and all to talk about Po and his family, but this is what the series already did. It's time we give Tigress the love she deserves. WHO'S WITH ME!!!✊
Let's help Isaac make his Tigress video a masterpiece.
She's pretty I was really hoping we got more flashback about her
the way i have that scene of her sacrifice in my "tear jerkers" playlist
I remember seeing the 2nd film in theatres and being very surprised how deep and dark it was. One of the best sequels DreamWorks ever did IMO.
OMG the video was so awesome!
I never knew much about Po’s mom nice to see what happend and the history behind it!
I'm glad you liked the video! It was so fun to be able to dive into everything we knew about her!
Wotso Videos yeah ! Glad it was!
Thanks for taking your time to reply btw!
I really do appreciate!
To be very honest, it would be hard to reintroduce Po’s mother back into the scene. Even if she was killed off.
I personally think she's gone. I don't see how she could survive shin and how it would help the story of her tragedy if it turned out she was alive
Can you do a video on who is the cheshire cat since he always seems like a very mysterious character with and interesting past
Can we talk about the lighting for when Po's mom had to leave him? A golden spotlight shining onto her while its dark where Po is... 😔
fun fact that maybe not meny noticed is that the wolf that po's father slugged with the hhammer is the 1 eyed pack leader shen had under his control and killed in the end when he refused to shoot his own men
I think it'd be neat to see her through Oogway. Have him bring the 2 together and she can answer some of his questions he surely has for her.
No matter how many times I see the scenes they still make me cry
The last time I saw po's mother leave her child, po, I start SOBBING and than I was heartbroken 😭
I’ve always wanted the franchise to end with Po and Tigress’ child having a dream just like he one po had in the beginning of KFP. Full circle.
Wait Po and Tigress had child?!
The Red Doge no haha! They’re not even a couple. I wish they were!!! Pangers cubs would be so cute!!
I’m still holding out hope that Po’s mother comes back maybe in KFP4
I love the way you express ideas of what could happen in these animated movies.
Thanks for video wotso you are awesome
You are awesome too Sabata!
Wotso Videos 👍😎
I hope po mom is still alive and leave a like on this video!!!!!!!😊😊😁😁
I remember sobbing uncontrollably at that memory scene as a child and I sobbed again
I've noticed that Kung Fu Panda 3 is kind of like a comeback from Kung Fu Panda 2, mainly because in when we see the Panda Village Raid in the second movie, Po's mom most likely dies but his dad stayed and fought (and survived). And the third movie reveals his father survived and that Po isn't the only Panda, even though he and his dad talked about Po's mom, and remembers the time Shen raided their village. It's like the third movie is showing us the Pandas' recoveries from that tragic event.
I really like how 2 of the Kung Fu Panda villians (Lord Shen and Kai) wanted to attack the Panda village but for different reasons.
You know what would had made king fu panda 3 ending great if po saw his mother in the spirit realm like that would be great po seeing his mother that would had been the saddest scene ever
2:19 hush now my baby be still love don’t cry, sleep as your rocked by the stream, sleep and remember my last lullaby so I’ll be with you when you dream
You’re always fun and smart with your videos
Thank you! I'm really glad you like them!
Wotso Videos when the wicked musical movie comes out you’d be perfect for the life of Elphaba and Glinda
I'd be down for a "Po and Tigress' relationship explained" video
Lord Shen had just dug his own grave.
Yeah, while I’d like to see her return I’d feel as it would take away the weight of the sacrifice she had made.
We might see her in a grave like that be interesting like see where her body laid to rest because we don’t know where her remains are she never got a popular burial now she gets one
the scene with the mom comforting Po makes me cry all the time, even thinking about it 😢 even if we could have gotten more info on the mom in original concept, I think it's a good death that shows the last moment we see her be a wonderful mother
I think that she could be dead or could be on death's doorstep and po could say goodbye to her????
Po inherited his adventurous passion from his father, and his heart from his mother. Mr. Ping built upon that foundation and raised a hero with broth in his veins.
It is far better to eat with the Dragon Warrior, than to battle with him.
May you find Inner Peace and the secret ingredient within you.
Im going to say this and hopefully not get attacked.
So i like Anime as much i like Disney and Po's backstory reminds of Insoukes backstory form Demon slayer.
The fact that Po thought he was abandoned by his mother juts like Insoukes tough and then latter on learn just like Po that his mother sacrafised herself to protect him.
Is it just me who thinks it similar ?
Supeisingly enough they are both very similar. Great deduction 👍
@@danielperez143 thx ;)
Just when I thought you weren't going to upload Kung Fu Panda videos anymore this popped up!
Good episode I like your works there interesting
Hi Wotso thanks for that video about Po's mum when she died I literally cried it was so heartbreaking so thanks for that take care and stay healthy 👊❤ 👊❤ 👊❤ p.s hope you do a livestream soon
I get the story, Po was attacked by the wolf pack and Lord Shen, his mother ran away with him while Li was fighting of the wolves, Po’s mom couldn’t run away from the wolves and she knew she wouldn’t make it alive so she abandoned Po in a radish box and ran away, Po was left alone with no one to help until Mr Ping went out to get his vegetables when he found Po and just couldn’t resist of bringing him inside but Po was crying so much that Mr Ping decided to bring him into his kitchen and decided to adopt him as his own son, the end
Great job keep it up
Will do! I definitely will!
The memory scene is the saddest scene in the Kung Fu Panda franchise. Not to mention the scene kinda reminds you of The Ten Commandments
One detail in the sequel always stuck out to me when it came to the past flashback.
Lee The panda that would be used as a joke fighter in the third movie was quite the badass in the sequel. That hammer swing he does in the flashback does more than knock the wolves away so his wife and kid can get away. It in fact blinds one of the wolves in one eye, the very wolf that becomes a recurring obstacle to Po in the sequel, Is the same one shown chasing Po and his Mom and would ultimately be later cut down my Shen for refusing to fire on his own men.
I noticed that to, KFP 3 was not that good to me.
Arctic Fox 0406 in comparison to the other two it would be the lowest point, but it’s still had a lot of good points to it, it unfortunately got bogged down a little bit with the over reliance on Chi being the deciding factor of battle. And the rest of the pandas being a pseudo-pre-kung fu Po.
Hey Isaac, love the video. Do you think you could do more videos about Pirates of the Caribbean?
For the next video can you do a video of: what happened to earth and why is Wall-E the last robot?, what do you think about the new Pixar film “Soul”?, Who is Sully Dad from Monsters University?, or why does jack jack have so many powers but he’s family only have one power? I’m looking forward to your next video!!!
Great suggestions! Thanks for sharing them! I particularly like the ideas of Sully's dad and breaking down WALL-E!
Wotso Videos It’s my pleasure!! Always love watching your videos looking forward to seeing the next one!! 😊
Po the panda 🐼 is by Jack black
Love this videos 😀❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hear the legends of the Kung Fu Panda! Love that you talk about Kung Fu Panda
Thanks Avery! It's a great franchise that I think gets left behind
That secen always makes me a bit teary eyed and I don’t cry in movies
I'm curious to know what DreamWorks are gonna do for the rumored Kung Fu Panda 4 and other sequel movies
Out of the three Kung Fu Panda movies , the second one to me is the darkest because of the panda genocide which was a Yikes to me as a kid
I really wish to see Shen again in the future
What also would be a great next movie plot : What if master oogway find po's mom in the spirit realm but, also finds tai-lung. Tai-lung would feel compassion from po's mother's story and is determined to find po and make up for his mistakes. while oogway sends him and po's mother out of the spiritrealm for a specific time. if they would not make things right he would be send back but also po's mother (there futures are linked). he could search for 4 things with po's mothers help, po's vergifnes. but with po's help has to find his own familie for closure and understanding. At last while he could not fase chefu before, for his last task he must find love and so he wil make things right with shefu. (He would also find danger while trying to find his parents (it is Kung Fu after all))Kung Fu Panda 4 redemption i would call it.
Hey man love your videos I definitely think you should do your own video take on the Disney Pixar theory time line that would be awesome!!
I would absolutely adore for Po to find her in a movie

Wotso Videos 🥰😭
His mother was a brave woman saving po
I balled my eyes out watching his backstory for the first time.
Out of all three Kung Fu Panda movies the second one is by far the most saddest and emotional one
As much as i hope we can see her again, i doubt she's in the physical world anymore. Not that it makes any difference in this universe.
I can’t wait to see Kung Fu Panda 4,5 and 6 releases
This video is so sad it's making me cry I hope po mother comes back
Thank you and God bless.
Kung fu panda is the best your videos are the best
NO ONE CAN LIE!
Po’s mom sacrificing herself to save Po scene in Kung Fu Panda 2 WAS THE SADDEST THING THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY 😭!!!!
Great Video by the way!
Honestly, it would be nice for a sequel to reveal his mom was captured and possibly brainwashed. This way Po has to try to get through to her and it brings up a strong conflict. Like the others not believing she can come back from it, but Po being who he is believe he can get through to his mom and save her. Then off to tackle the real villain.
Hey wotso would you ever do any how to train your dragon theories I would love to hear them
Thanks
It would had of been cool if in the second movie Shen had Po s mother as his slave and Po had to fight her or something, like instead of killing her he enslaved her
You ok dude you got the giggles big time
Yes. The good thumbnails are back
A cool concept would be that’s, She was put in a dungeon and getting questioned on where the child panda went and has been there ever since and later on Po finds this out and goes searching for her etc.
