Mulan attempts to warn Shang, but she is ignored because she is a woman. In the original poem, Hua Mulan is sitting at her loom as the men in her family are asked to defend China in the army. She is a natural beauty, with black eyes and straight, black long hair, however, its length changes.
Shang arrives to talk with Mulan, having been encouraged to tell her his feelings for her by the Emperor.
While running from Shan Yu, she comes up with a plan to kill him by means of fireworks. Under the command of Captain Li Shang, she and her fellow recruits Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po, gradually become trained warriors. Mulan lures him onto the palace rooftop where they face each other in personal combat, until Mushu, as arranged by Mulan, launches a huge firecracker that hits Shan Yu and carries him off to his death. Mulan decides to go in his place posing as a man, cutting her long hair with a sword, stealing her father's armor and riding away on her horse, Khan, so she will keep him from risking his life. A young Chinese maiden disguises herself as a male warrior in order to save her father. After finding that the Chinese Army, led by Shang's father General Li, has been completely destroyed by the Huns, Shang leads Mulan and the other soldiers to stop them. Her intellect is also proven by her skills in strategy during the Hun invasion. The Chinese soldiers initially cheer for their victory, but quickly become somber after Mulan discovers that she is bleeding; she had been wounded by a swipe of Shan Yu's sword before the avalanche buried Shan Yu and his army. She uses a bow although in the movies she uses a sword. In the 2nd film, her hair was grown, not to its original length, but it's noticeably longer than before. Mulan is the only child of Fa Zhou, a former war veteran, and Fa Li.
She disarms him with a paper fan and uses his sword to pin him to the roof, allowing Mushu to fire fireworks at Shan Yu, presumably killing him. While the film today is very popular among the millennial generation, many of which praise it for being the most progressive In the meantime, Shan Yu and the Huns pillage a city on the way to the Imperial Palace. She tries to warn Shang's troops as they are heralded by citizens in a parade for their war efforts, but they do not listen. The story can be traced back to The script used for most of the text in Mulan is Traditional Chinese, which is no longer used in daily life on Mainland China (but still used in Hong Kong, Macau, and many overseas Chinese communities), although people are still able to read it. She wears a dress consisting of a green long-sleeved shirt with olive brims and both yellow skirt and inside shirt with a low cut neckline, blue wrap, red waistband, black ballet flats, but also has been seen barefoot as well. Later in the film, when she leaves to join the army; she cuts her hair with her father's sword, and ties it up in a bun, which helps her blend into the army, so that the other soldiers don't know that she's really a woman. Also, it is to be noted, that they never actually say that they love each other directly to the other. Shang chooses to sacrifice himself, as the bridge can only support one. Seems like the teaser for Incredibles 2 will be arriving either this week or next week (likely paired up with Coco).
Despite her protests, her father says that he will go in spite of his old age and old war wounds. In "Ask Von Drake", Mulan was seen with Mushu and Cri-Kee during the headcount of all the Disney character guests. It was directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook, with story by Robert D. San Souci and screenplay by Rita Hsiao, Philip LaZebnik, Chris Sanders, Eugenia Bostwick-Singer, and Raymond Singer. Mulan is a 16-year old girl. Individual achievement awards were awarded to Pam Coats for producing; Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft for Directing; Rita Hsiao, The Chinese legend of Hua Mulan centers on a young woman who disguises herself as a man to take the place of her elderly father in the army. This is why her meeting with the matchmaker ended in chaos, that and help from a certain lucky cricket, and why the matchmaker claimed that even though she has the looks of a bride, it will never work because all she will do is dishonor her parents and her future husband. At the beginning of the original film, her hair was long, which went down to her waist. In promotional works, her hair is always shown as it's original length, down to the waist. Seeing that the princesses have fallen in love with Yao, Ling, and Chien Po, and believing that Shang is dead, Mulan prepares to offer herself as a bride in their places.
