The Dragon Warrior is back on screen!
Our sentimental attachment to Kung Fu Panda may come up again for this new movie Kung Fu Panda 2, for sure!
When Kung Fu Panda was first shown in 2008, we had the privilege of having a copy of its DVD a few months after. I didn't get to see it at once due to my self-confessed busy schedule. But hey, I got to listen to it every morning for 2 months when our youngest Cupcake would put the movie on the DVD player, as part of his morning ritual.
I tell you, all of us at home eventually got so excessively familiar with the lines in the movie that we could recite them ad verbatim. Each morning when my older boys went off to school, I would hear them go along:
"I just ate, so I'm still digesting, so my king fu may not be as good later on."
"One thousand guards and one prisoner... only that prisoner is Tai Lung"
"Don't worry, Master, I will never quit!"
"What are you going to do, sit on me?" "Don't tempt me."
"There is now a level zero."
"There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness."
"I'm not the big fat panda, I'm THE big fat panda."
There are also couple of memorable lines from the movie that served as a reminder to me even during my low times. Here, let me share from memory:
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." - Oogway
and of course,
"The secret ingredient is.... NOTHING!" ("You")
Skadoosh!
