Mulan is a 1998 cartoon film released by the Walt Disney corporation. The film is set in China during an invasion by the Huns.

Mulan is a young woman who, following the custom of her people, is sent to a matchmaker for an arranged marriage, but is rejected as unworthy to marry for her clumsiness, which carries a scourge of dishonor on her family. Meanwhile as the Huns invade China, her crippled father is drafted to fight the Huns. Mulan sneaks out of the house and disguises herself as a man to take the place of her father, and becomes a hero by helping defeat the Huns.

Criticism

The underlying message in Mulan is feminism. The film frequently takes aim at the custom in her society that women are unfit to fight. The film also has a strong occult content, including worship of ancestral spirits, and a miniature dragon who has a central role in the movie serving as Mulan's familiar spirit; this makes Mulan questionable fare for Christian youth to view without parental guidance.
