His Heroic Deeds[]
Background[]

- He helped Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, and Viper defeat Boar even after Shifu rejected him and the last three at first.
- He is implied to have helped the other Furious Five in numerous other battles, although these are offscreen.
Kung Fu Panda[]
- When Po accidentally bumped into his room, Crane politely talked to him, albiet awkwardly.
- He warmed up to Po after having rejecting him at first, which is shown when he helped the latter get unstuck from attempting a full split.
- He helped fight Tai Lung at the Thread of Hope, saving Tigress from falling to her death and carrying the other four Five (who were nerve-blocked) to the Jade Palace.

Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]

- He fails the Admirable Standard to Li Shan, Mr. Ping, and the Soothsayer, who all had less resources than him.
- Despite shedding most of his corrupting qualities after warming up to Po, he still has some jerkish moments, such as laughing at Mantis when he was instructed to join him in locating Kai.
