5 AWESOME Facts About MULAN!

Number 1
When Mulan is singing Reflection in the shrine, the names seen on the shrine are the animators names in Chinese.

Number 2
During the climax, the scene where Mulan disarms Shan-Yu with a fan uses a real martial arts technique.

Number 3
There is a hidden Mickey in the shading on Shang’s horse on his neck, but it’s rotated 90 degrees.

Number 4
The piece that Mulan moves while on her way to the matchmaker is called the cannon, and it foreshadows the way that she ends up taking out most of the Hun army.

Number 5
Some of the footage for the Forbidden City was recycled from the Whole New World segment of Aladdin with some pieces reworked.

I was confused that Mulan and Shang didn’t get married or even kiss at the end when I was little. He was obviously meant to be her “Prince” character. Maybe it was meant for a sequel. A lot of people hate the sequel but I think it’s great other than how they turned Mushu into the villain for most of the movie.

Did Aladdin and Jasmine actually fly there during “A Whole New World”?

Another fun fact is when Mulan goes face to face with Shan Yu, revealing herself as “the soldier from the mountains” that’s exactly what Shan Yu says. He doesn’t say anything to discriminate against her gender, this is because in this time period women of the Huns had more equal rights and were allowed to fight in war

The truth is that the chess game in Mulan was an error in the making of the film. The "general" in Chinese chess (equivalent to the King) cannot move diagonally like in that video, and the piece Mulan used is not a "Cannon" piece because it needs any other piece in front of it to be as a launching pad, so I think the piece she used was the "Rook" piece (equivalent to Rock).

"Hidden mickey" aka 3 dots. Y'know they type of graphical thing that is used literally everywhere. There are easter eggs in disney movies but this ain't it fam

Fun fact: the "chess" piece that Mulan moves couldn't have been the cannon, because 1. the writing on top of the pieces are all gibberish, the piece she moved looks nothing like the word for cannon 炮. If anything it looks more like chariot 車, and I'm being really generous here for it not being just gibberish. and 2. If the piece was cannon, making that move literally is inconsequential as it threatens no new enemy pieces due to rules for how canons capture. However if it was chariot, I can see how it could be a checkmate depending on what the other red piece was in the vicinity.

…. That game move foreshadowed her victory with shan yu?
Disney right now : 😮😮😮😮😮
