Kung Fu Panda AU is a AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Hiccup, Merida, Rapunzel and Jack Frost are portrayed as characters or are placed in the world of Kung Fu Panda. This can be considered a sub-scenario of Dragon Warriors AU and Hybrid AU.
About this AU
Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Four, and other such characters in the fandom, as the animals living or training in the art of Kung Fu, so they can protect the Valley of Peace or portrayed as "humanized" characters from the film.
Featured Characters
The Big Four
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup is cast between (a humanized) Crane and a finer, smarter and not a-very-hungry Po; when Astrid and the other members of the Berk Dragon Training Academy are the Furious Five. The Dragon Manual or the (cover of the) Dragon Eye can serve as the Dragon Scroll.
Jack Frost
Jack is sometimes seen as Monkey or a young, skilled snow leopard (or any other kind of animal) that is the newest and youngest member of a group of protectors; when the Guardians mirror the Furious Five/Four and needs to have fun while learning the art of Kung Fu.
Merida DunBroch
Merida is commonly portrayed as Tigress.
Rapunzel Corona
Fans have cast Rapunzel as (a humanized) Viper.
Extra Characters
Astrid Hofferson
Being top of her class, deadly, skilled and was believed to be the one that would be given the honor to kill a dragon, in Dragon (Killing) Training, before the "honor" was given to someone else, casts her as (a humanized) Tigress.
The four other young, Vikings - Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut - can also be cast as the other members of the Furious Five - Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey - ; with Hiccup as the Dragon Warrior, Po.
The Guardians
The Guardians are sometimes seen as or mirroring the Furious Five, with MiM mirroring Grand Master Oogway or Master Shifu, as he teaches them the ways of Kung Fu; so the Guardians can use those skills to protect the valley, world and those in need. One of the Tooth Boxes can serve as the Dragon Scroll's cover.
North's strong, bulk body makes him a strong, skilled panda. Bunnymund stays a rabbit, but instead of being one of the "villager bunnies", he is a deadly, fast, skilled rabbit of Kung Fu. Tooth is a fast, strong beck hummingbird that is trained to fight opponents that are bigger than her, by being faster than them. Sandy is a red panda (or any other animal that can have something to do with sand) that is "silent" and deadly. Jack is a snow leopard that is the newest and youngest member of the protectors; MiM called him to the dojo so he can train him to take on the Black Peacock, Pitch (when he is the evil peacock lord, Lord Shen); much like how Po needed to be trained with food, Jack needs to have fun while training.
