Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll (2016)

The introduction, which takes place a bit before Kung Fu Panda 3, shows Po realizing that his dad, Mr Ping, has been giving away his things as bonus gifts to customers, and accidentally gave away his toys of the Furious Five. As he searches for them, Oogway’s narration asks whether there is any real difference between an accident and destiny, thus setting the scene for the story. 10 years before the events of the first Kung Fu Panda, a younger Tigress is training under Shifu, but always seems to disappoint him by not conforming to his strict style. When Master Oogway and Shifu order noodles from Mister Ping’s restaurant, a young Po (who was left in charge of the restaurant while his dad was absent) accidentally sneezes into Shifu’s, making him sick. To make matters worse, a seemingly-unstoppable warrior named Boar is en route to the Valley of Peace, defeating every Kung Fu master who opposes him. An incapacitated Shifu has no choice but to delegate to Tigress, giving her a scroll with the names of four warriors who can defeat Boar.

At the same time, Po writes his own scroll with possible ideas for his future career, only to throw it out at his father’s insistence. Tigress accidentally loses her scroll and mistakes Po’s for hers. Po’s scroll contains the names of “Cleaner”, “Comedian”, “Dancer”, and “Doctor”. This causes Tigress to gather Cleaner Crane, Comedian Monkey, Dancer Viper, and Doctor Mantis instead of the assigned warriors. Tigress is impressed by the skills they demonstrate, and assumes that Shifu will be proud of her. However, once she returns, and the mistake is discovered, Shifu becomes angry, disappointing Tigress. As she sulks, Oogway encourages her to be herself rather than Shifu, so she decides to confront Boar herself. At first, she sticks to Shifu’s style, and is defeated, but gets help from the others, who manage to stall Boar with their own, unique styles. In an epiphany moment, she finally embraces her own style, and easily overpowers Boar with the help of her new teammates to defeat him.
