《Mulan》Film Introduction
《Mulan》 is Disney’s first animated film with Chinese elements, and its significance is remarkable. Based on the ancient Chinese poem “The Ballad of Mulan,” which features the character “Hua Mulan,” this musical film instantly left an impression on audiences with its portrayal of a Chinese princess characterized by delicate eyebrows and bright eyes.
As Disney’s 36th animated feature,《Mulan》 follows the familiar folk legend: to resist the invasion of the Huns, Mulan disguises herself as a man and takes her father’s place in the army. In the animated film, Mulan joins her fellow soldiers in battle, defeating the Hun leader and returning honourably home.
The film’s visuals are reminiscent of traditional Chinese landscape paintings, and the music has a distinct flavour. The animators even travelled to mainland China for research, emphasizing their dedication to accurate translation and cultural authenticity.
