It’s a bonus, 30-minute film to Kung-Fu Panda where Po teaches a group of delightfully cute bunnies. Patience, courage, confidence, discipline & compassion.
Kungfu Panda and the Secrets of the Furious Five (2009)
“Kung fu” is not just about fighting & kicking, but it means excellence of self. Being the best you can be. Po tells to the bunnies, about what make the furious five amazing. It wasn’t fighting that made them amazing. They each had to learn the secrets of kung fu before they became excellent.
Mantis
In his youth, Mantis was a petulantly impatient warrior who was prone to jumping to conclusions and making impulsive decisions. He’s fast, lightning fast.
