Does belief in yourself actually make a difference? Is it the secret ingredient?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright talk about some of the lessons we can learn from Po's journey and Master Oogway's and Master Shifu's advice in Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda. They talk about how we can find inner peace, the importance of authenticity and embracing who you are, and the amazing physical comedy in this movie. Inner peace and mindfulness can help us with self-acceptance, as well as handling being stressed or anxious, and can definitely help us win chopstick dumpling kung fu fights.

I have to force myself not to cry every time I see Oogway's death or hear "Oogway Ascends"

Late to the party, but one of my favorite moments is during the training scene when Shifu smiles before he chases Po to try and get the dumpling. He's able to enjoy himself and enjoy training a student again instead of constantly being reminded of his time with Tai Lung.

One quick thing, Alan! Shifu isn’t a rodent, he’s a red panda.

I can’t believe Alan doesn’t like Shrek 2, it’s one of the best sequels ever made

I love that Alan agrees that some of the best movies made in the last 20 years are animated. My husband sometimes teases me for enjoying "kids movies," but they're so relevant to all of us. More animated movies for Best Picture, please!
