The cartoon Mulan is inspired by a Chinese folk tale, this animated Disney drama is about the adventures of a young woman in ancient China. While the merciless Shan-Yu leads invading Huns over the Great Wall, young Mulan sees a matchmaker about her future in marriage.

Mulan's views on accepted marriage traditions goes against what she believes in as she hopes for a recognition of her true self. To fight the Huns, a man from each family is required to join the Imperial Army.Mulan's elderly father Fa Zhou volunteers but she objects. He tells her that he knows his place. And it is time she learnt hers.

Mulan goes ahead and cuts her hair, dresses as a man, and gets ready for military camp, her First Ancestor is concerned by her decision and turns an inanimate incense burner into the 18-inch high funny dragon Mushu . Mushu hides in her clothing and she joins a group of new recruits under the command of Captain Shang .

 During an ambush by the Huns in a mountain pass, Mulan steps in and defeats their enemy. When Mulan goes back home,she expects to be in trouble but is instead welcomed warmly by her family. Shang arrives to talk with Mulan, having been encouraged to propose by the Emperor. The ancestors agree to make Mushu a guardian once more.This is an amazing cartoon that shows how females can lead people to victory.No prince here to save the day like in the typical fairy tales.
