MULAN (1998)

Loosely based on a figure in Chinese folk legend, Mulan (Ming-Na Wen) is an adventurous yet duty-bound young woman. When the Imperial Army orders that one man from each family must enlist to fight the invading Huns, Mulan worries about her elderly father’s safety. She cuts her hair and dons her father’s old armor to bravely take his place, disguised as a male soldier named Ping. Helped by her outrageously funny guardian dragon Mushu (Eddie Murphy) and a lucky cricket named Cri-Kee, Mulan strives to earn the respect of her fellow warriors and their courageous Captain Shang (BD Wong). Mulan’s adventures lead to a climactic battle atop the Imperial Palace, where her family’s honor and the fate of the Emperor and all of China rests in her hands. Following the blueprint that Disney established with the casting of Hollywood superstar Robin Williams in ALADDIN, Murphy stands out as the wisecracking Mushu, bringing his instantly recognizable fast-paced wit and humor to this pint-size character.
