Other Trivia: The first Disney Princess to be a warrior and fighter, physically, in her story. Is part of the Princess merchandise even though she is neither royalty nor does she marry into royalty. Passes off as a boy to get into the Chinese army, and is "Ping" for the majority of her film, making her a crossdresser. She is also the first Disney Princess to have saved an entire country, cementing her heroine role. She manages to liberate her country of China and bring her family honour; both by being herself. Defies traditional gender parts (however, this doesn't stop Disney from continuously marketing her as a concubine/beauty doll and not a warrior), yet she has the loving feminine touch through and through. Uses her brains as well as her stealth and martial arts skills. She has three animal companions: Mushu the dragon, Khan the horse, and the Cri-Kee the cricket; plus a pet dog named Little Brother. Makes both male and female friends easily, for she is pure of heart. Is based on a legendary warrior woman - now she is considered a legend in feminist pop culture from the nineties. A live-action version of Disney's Mulan is yet to have an official release date.
