Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.
I remember I used to draw these KFP humans a lot. They were my brainrot for like a whole year and posted a lot on Kung Fu Panda Skadooshposting group. Ah the good old days, man I miss drawing them.

The only upside to it is that because of it, an idea for a much better Kung Fu Panda 4 violated all my boundaries and got into my head on its own. It has much better character development, a much better plot, and a much much MUCH better antagonist.
Sorry i needed to repost my drawinf as it never appeared anywhere for me…. I redrew crane, added Mantis and so on and so forth
Also im gonna be so honest i dont like how my art never reaches the right audience properly like the recognition here works perfectly fine and im proud of how far ive improved with my drawigs but when kt comes to tiktok and insta….
