What is the title of the 2008 Kung Fu Panda short film about the Furious Five’s origins?

The 2008 short film about the Furious Five’s origins is titled Secrets of the Furious Five.

Secrets of the Furious Five is an animated short connected to the first Kung Fu Panda film. It presents Master Shifu telling Po stories about the earlier lives and formative experiences of Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane. The framing story links the short to Po’s training and the larger lesson that great kung-fu masters develop through hardship and discipline.

The short was released in 2008 and later appeared with home-video editions of Kung Fu Panda. It is not one of the franchise’s four main theatrical features, and its title should not be confused with the television series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.

The short is especially useful for viewers who want background on the Furious Five, since the feature film introduces them mainly as already-established masters.
