"Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show who I am inside?"
- Mulan, "Reflection"

In 1998, Mulan joined the ranks of Disney princesses like Jasmine and Cinderella. Mulan is a courageous young woman willing to risk her life and go to war to save the life of her father.

Along with her trusty horse Khan, a dragon named Mushu, and her friends Yao, Chi Fu, and Shang, it is up to her to save China.

Did you know? Disney's Mulan is based on an ancient Chinese legend. This story, too, told of a girl who dressed as a man to join the army in her father's place.

The poem Mu-lan shih, or "The Ballad of Mulan," dates to the sixth century. In 1593, the story became a play known as "The Heroine Mulan Goes to War in Her Father's Place."
