Secrets of the Furious Five (2008)
A short film sequel to Kung Fu Panda. It’s comprised of a series of vignettes revealing the origins of each member of the Furious Five. The framing story with Po is done in CG but the stories themselves are done in the beautiful 2D animated style from the end credits of Kung Fu Panda. Of the five stories, Tigress proves the most evocative of the bunch. Her story has always been rather tragic going back to the original film. It’s surprising none of the feature length sequels have touched on it again.
Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll (2015)
Another short film, this one exploring the origin of the Furious Five as a group. Excellently paced and beautifully animated with stellar narration by Randall Duk Kim as Master Oogway.
