Mulan (1998)
Mulan is a girl, the only child of her
honored family. When the Huns invade China, one man from every family is
called to arms. Mulan's father, who has an old wound and cannot walk properly,
decides to fight for his country and the honor of his family though it
is clear that he will not survive an enemy encounter. Mulan, who just got
rejected by the matchmaker because she had set her on fire, decides to
prove that she is worth something and steals away to fit her father's place
in the Chinese army. She prays to her family's ancestors for protection
and luck before leaving as a man in her father's armor with her family's
horse. The ancestors awake and decide to send Mushu, a little dishonored
dragon to aid Mulan in her quest. Weeks later, Mulan and the other troopers
have survived the training camp and are on the way north to stop the huns.
After being spotted and pursued by the enemies, an impass situation in
the mountains forces Mulan to come up with an idea. But then, her real
gender will no longer be a secret. She decides to risk everything in order
to save China.
