Kung Fu Panda and Secrets of the Furious Five 2-Pack :
The 2-pack version also contains a new DVD, Secrets of the Furious Five, which contains an all new story about the Furious Five and how they had to overcome their own individual obstacles to find the true meaning of "kung fu." The Show is funny and interesting for kids, with goofy Po relating how the Five had to learn about qualities such as patience, confidence, and courage.
The DVD also contains additional bonus features including featurettes, games, activities, printables and more. One segment kids and parents will really enjoy is "Learn to Draw: Crane, Monkey, Viper, Po, Mantis & Tigress." The animators show kids step-by-step how to draw their favorite characters from the movie. These characters are a little more complicated than some I've seen, but kids around 5 and up should be able to create a pretty cool drawing. Other educational and fun features include "Inside the Chinese Zodiac" and "Animals of Kung Fu Panda.
