Alright it's Mulan's turn. She's my 가장 좋아하는 princess so this should be fun.

Let's start off 의해 addressing Mulan's inclusion into the lineup. She's the only princess who's not royalty in anyway, she does not marry prince nor is she born into royalty. Some people are glad to see 뮬란 included. Others have a real problem with it. Now to all 당신 nitpicky bastards out there, here are the reasons why 뮬란 was added. 1.She fits criteria (singing, animal friends). 2.Her movie was moderately successful. 3.She's closest thing Disney's got to an Asian princess. 4.She's a great role model for young girls. 5.It's franschise a marketed to little girls! Seriously people, quit being so whiny and get a f*cking life!!

Let's talk about 뮬란 and Shang, the most unnecessary romance in 디즈니 history (not counting sequels). 뮬란 is the only DP movie where a 사랑 interest isn't driving the plot. The chemistry between them feels 더 많이 like a friendly bond and while it is realistic, it just wasn't necessary. Mulan's decisions and actions are driven 의해 her 사랑 for her family, not a guy. She's the only princess where her romance is one of my main issues with her. I don't have a problem with 뮬란 and Shang's relationship, I just wish it was written 더 많이 properly. And truthfully, the movie did not need a romance, especially one so halfhearted.

뮬란 is probably the most flawed princess, 다음 to Ariel. Where as the other princesses are classy, refined, bubbly, cheery and near perfection. 뮬란 on the other hand is clumsy, awkward, mopey, somewhat shy and very imperfect. Along with Rapunzel, she's the only princess to experience any growth as a character. The other princesses are either perfect from the very beginning and don't need to change (Belle, Snow) 또는 flawed but never learn from their mistakes (Ariel, Tiana). 뮬란 grows and learns, allowing her to transform from an insecure girl to a cool and confident young woman.

There really aren't alot of specific issues with Mulan. Most of the issues have to do with other characters such as Shang and particularly Mushu. He is the worst sidekick out of all the DP animal companions. All he does is ruin everything, 뮬란 would have been ten times better off without him. Crikee stays out of the way and Khan is actually helpful but Mushu is just a screw up. Don't get me wrong, he is funny and he does have redeeming moments, like blowing up Shan Yu but for the most part he's just a bad luck 구름, 클라우드 hovering Mulan. On a side note, why is he voiced 의해 Eddie Murphy?

Everyone can agree that 뮬란 is 의해 far the best role model, possibly in all of Disney, for many reasons. Her "I want song" is about wanting to be accepted for who she is, not something superficial. She's not self centered, her only interest is her family. Yes, later she does admit she was partially doing it for herself but the only reason she ran away in the first place was because of her family. Other 디즈니 히어로즈 made great sacrifices simply because they really want something but 뮬란 did it for her loved ones. Also, 뮬란 rescues China! She risks her life and acheives the impossible! I can talk all 일 about what a great role model she is.

Many people see 뮬란 as the first feminist friendly princess which isn't entirely true. Ariel, Belle, Jas and Poca all have somewhat feminist elements to their characters. 당신 could say that she is the first intentionally pro-feminism princess. She is the first to actually challenge gender roles and to be seen in a positive light from a feminist perspective. Mainly because getting a man wasn't her primary goal. While some of the praise is undeserved, 뮬란 is indeed a good model of female empowerment.

I think it's interesting that 디즈니 is willing to include 뮬란 before they include Pocahontas. If 당신 saw a picture of the six original princesses the seventh member would probably be Mulan. She is excluded from merchandise frequently but not nearly as much as Pocahontas. Sursprisingly, despite not being a real princess, 뮬란 is actually very 인기 among little girls.

To me 뮬란 represents courage. As many as would say, being 메리다와 마법의 숲 is facing your fears. She's the without a doubt the bravest princess because even though she was afraid, she took risks and charged into the face of danger without hesitation.
