Uncle Iroh vs Master Oogway — Animatic

Welcome to my dream fight animation! This has been in production for over two years and unfortunately has fallen into somewhat of a development hell. It is unclear what kind of timeline we are looking at to finish this thing, but it could likely be years. Given that I need to end the channel soon, I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you what we have been cooking so that you are guaranteed to see at least part of it. This animation is incredibly meaningful and special to me, and I think the team's passion comes through in every frame. I especially want to thank our animator, Riley, as none of this would have been possible without their passion and talent. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! ~Ink

I love how this is spirit realm Iroh, meaning that it makes perfect sense for him to just accept that he is having tea and a sparring match with an anthropomorphic talking turtle

"Only tea?! How could someone so wise say something so horrible?" -General Iroh

These 2 would definitely be friends

“You are free to take it” the moment I heard that, I knew Oogway was pulling the same thing Shifu did. CAUSE HE’S THE ONE THAT TAUGHT HIM THAT! LOL!!

4:00 I like the nice touch of Iroh starting with his earth kingdom robes when he is at peace/not taking the fight seriously, only to transition to his fire nation armor when he takes the fight seriously and he becomes the Dragon of the West one final time.

I love how even after all that, Oogway decides to be a mischievous little shit and keep the teapot.

This is peak, even just as an animatic. Have the fight start because of Oogway pulling a "You are free to eat." is genius. The spirit world shifting to match Iroh's emotions is also a nice touch that escalates the battle.

Seniors at retirement home when the caregivers aren't here:

*Slaps roof of battle. "This bad boy can fit so many ATLA refrences."

Even if the animation isn't fully finished, it's really evident that the emotion and love for it is still there. Great job, Crossover Collosseum.

I like how it's not some violent senseless battle, but rather a friendly sparring match cause there's no way Iroh and Oogway would ever be hated enemies to each other

I can see oogway not being all that bothered by the tea spilling, but him calling it "hot leaf juice" just doesn't sound right.

(Avatar VS Kung Fu Panda) Wise, friendly old mentors who trained unlikely war heroes, and are renowned for being some of their land’s best warriors. Both lost someone close to them in their past, which motivated them to use their wisdom to help others. Both have connections to spirits, to the point where they ascended to their worlds’ Spirit Realm following their deaths, where they would guide lost souls back to the real world.

Glad, once again, to have lent my voice to both Iroh and Oogway. Thanks for having me aboard. Wishing nothing but the best for this animatic. May it have better luck and fortune in the future.

I love how friendly they are to each other... Its not a fight till the death but just having fun

I dont want to "dragon" with this pun but i cant wait to see thia battle which was no "accident"

I live how there's like a solid 20 seconds where nothing happened, and then later is some of the smoothest animation I've seen on this channel

The ending was so wholesome. While it is unfinished, this was easily one of my favorites. Really sucks that we’re nearing the end. This has been an amazing journey. Thank you. ❤

Even if it is unfinished, this is an absolute standout. There is a clear love and passion for both characters put forth here and seeing them interact on such friendly terms is just so wholesome. All of Oogway's little nuggets of wisdom mid-fight are spot on for him too, A+ work here
