About Mulan

Mulan is a retelling of a story of Chinese folklore. It is about a young Chinese girl who chooses to make a big decision for her family’s sake. Mulan is the only child in her family. When China is invaded by the Huns, one man from all families were called to join the cause. However, since there was no son, Mulan’s father decided he would join the cause. However, Mulan’s father has an old injury from war and it is known that he will most likely not survive the battle. Being the tough and ambitious daughter that Mulan is, she decides to take her father’s place in battle. She prays to her ancestors for good luck and protection before she puts on her father’s armor and goes into battle pretending to be a man. The ancestors wake up and hear her prayers. However, they are not into the idea of Mulan going into battle.

The ancestors send down a dishonored dragon named Mushu to try and dissuade Mulan from her quest of fighting in this war. However, once Mushu meets Mulan he realizes that getting her to walk away from this quest is going to be impossible so instead, he decides to help her along the way.
