This movie isn't too well known or popular but I ended up liking it even above some of my other favorite movies. It's a sort of Isekai type movie about a boy with a gait disturbance who ends up in another world and becomes acquainted with anthropomorphic kung fu kangaroos representing the five chinese elements. So it's a kind of sentai with a TMNT/Never Ending Story sort of vibe...a mish mash of tried and true genres and tropes forming an odd combination. I liked it for personal reasons, because it sort of connected with a certain story I was working in my head at the time. I also just discovered the King of Fighters series back then and for some reason, the movie somehow got mixed in with that too mentally.
When Kung Fu Panda came out, I was amazed...the concept for it sounded quite similar to Warriors of Virtue but implemented much more cleverly than the latter. (Warriors of Virtue = Furious Five)
