Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters Secret of the Masters is a 2011 animated short film from DreamWorks Animation. The short consists mostly of a traditional animation (17 minutes), which was created by Duncan Studio. Dialogue Po: [excitedly spots a nearby silver sword on a stand and runs over to it] Look, the sword Master Ox used to defeat the Macau Marauders! [picks up the sword and plays with it a little bit] I had no idea it was so shiny! Tigeress: Put that back! Po: [puts the sword back and moves on to the bamboo staff standing next to it] And the staff Master Rhino used to liberate the village of Wenshen! [playfully swings the staff around as if fighting off villains] I had no idea it was so staffy! Mantis: Staffy? Po: [puts the staff back and spots a hanging purple cape with a white emblem] No way! And the cape Master Croc used for...for... [falters] Well I don't know what he used it for, but let me tell you something...it made him look really cool. Tigress: Goodnight Po! [walking away with Mantis on her shoulder] Po: [notices them leaving] Come on! [runs after them] How can you even think of going back to sleep when this close to.. [suddenly gasps upon catching sight of a large black container, it's metal doors wide open to reveal an empty space] The Sarcophagus of Su Wu! [Tigress and Mantis glance at Po in confusion] Tigress: Su what? Po: Wu! Mantis: Who? Po: Su Wu! Tigress: Who's Su? Mantis: No clue! Po: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...you haven't heard of the Wu Sisters? [Tigress and Mantis shrug, believing they never had] They were the most feared and notorious villains who ever terrorized China! Ah, but they did one good thing... [gestures to the statues of the three masters] They brought Masters Ox, Croc, and Rhino together for the very first time! It all started long ago in the city of Jinzhou... [voiceover as the scene fades to the city of Jinzhou in 2D animation] You see, not everyone practiced kung fu for justice and honor. Piglet Announcer: Good fight, boys! Good to see you still have some teeth left, Stanley! [lifts a large bag of cash] Next fight on today's program is the heavyweights! Which of you hulking punching bags wants in? Croc: [forcefully shoving his way through the crowd] The Croc is in! You can't hide from my impenetrable hide! Ox: The Ox is in! My uniqueness is to analyze your weakness. [turns to a quivering bunny and focuses on left ear] Bingo! [leaps into a kung fu stance... and flicks the bunny's left ear] Bunny: Ow! [spins around on the ground, clutching his ear in pain] My bad ear! He got my bad ear! Piglet Announcer: All right! Let's get this slaughter started! Rhino: [crashes though a nearby wall] Not just yet! Piglet Announcer: Boys, we got ourselves a three-way battle blowout! Rhino: My name is Rhino. My source, of course, is my unstoppable force! Pig Waiter: [serving a customer a cup of tea, who's later revealed to be Master Oogway] Uh, who cares who wins? Those three are a disgrace to kung fu. Oogway: [finishes his cup of tea] I fear they will all lose... until they find a battle worth fighting. Pig Waiter: Yeah, I hear that all the time. You wanted to see the dessert menu? Croc: [looking at the wanted poster of the Wu Sisters] Wait a minute, this looks nothing like me. Ox: [takes the poster out of Croc's hands] The Wu Sisters? They once took on the entire Jackal Nation armed with nothing more than... a pair of chopsticks! Rhino: [grabs the poster] Together, they're more powerful than any kung fu master! I thought they were locked up! Oogway: [unexpectedly moved to another spot, perfectly balanced on his staff] They were... until mere moments ago. But now, they're free... and I assure you, they will be seeking revenge. You three must stop them. Rhino: You're not talking about us, right? Oogway: The Wu Sisters are be headed for their fortress inside the Hubei Volcano. [pulls aside a curtain to reveal a sinister-looking volcano in the distance] Scary, isn't it?
