Synopsis:

Mulan is the only child of a family in ancient China. She thinks for herself and speaks her mind; nothing like the quiet, polite and demur girls who can attract suitable husbands. She lives in a time when the Huns are invading China from the North. Mulan’s father is old and infirm. When the Emperor calls upon each family to contribute a soldier to the army, Mulan’s father is determined to answer the Emperor’s call. To do anything else would bring dishonor on his name and his family. Mulan knows that if her father goes to war, he will not survive. She decides to go in his stead, knowing that if a woman is found disguising herself as a soldier, she will be executed. This film is loosely based on an ancient Chinese myth.
