Storyline

Master Oogway always said there are no accidents, but fate still takes unusual directions when Po is around. This is especially true in his youth when he is looking for his calling even as the great menace named Boar is on the rampage. After Po inadvertently sickens Master Shifu, the young and unsure Tigress is charged with finding four warriors to help her fight Boar, only to confuse Po's wishlist for his calling for her own list. In doing so, Tigress sets on a journey that would hardly be what Shifu intended. However, her quest leads to her future best friends who would become more than that they dreamed they could be even as they help Tigress find her own path that would help a certain giant panda as well.

User Reviews

Fun but forgettable

This animation film tells the story of how the Furious Five were created by the young Tigress, who made an unfortunate mistake when following Shifu's orders.

I switched on "Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll" just to past time, and I was actually quite surprised by he very good picture quality on the on demand TV channel. The story is light-hearted and fun, as the animals are assembled by a beautiful mistake. When all seems to be lost, and there is no hope, a seemingly unlikely but actually expected Hollywood ending arrives. It is a fun animation, but it is not very memorable or groundbreaking.
