Introduction
The movie Mulan is based on the legends and The Ballad of Mulan.
Mulan originally began as a short, straight-to-video film titled "China Doll" about an oppressed and miserable Chinese girl who is whisked away سے طرف کی a British Prince Charming to happiness in the West. Then Disney consultant and children's book writer Robert San Souci suggested making a movie of the Chinese poem, "The Song of Fa Mu Lan" and Disney combined the two separate projects.
Development for Mulan began in 1994, after the production team sent a select group of artistic supervisors to China for three weeks to take photographs and drawings of local landmarks for inspiration; and to soak up local culture. The filmmakers decided to change Mulan's character to make her مزید appealing and selfless and turn the art style closer to Chinese painting, with watercolor and simpler design - opposed to the details of The Lion King and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
To create 2,000 Hun soldiers during the Huns' attack sequence, the production team developed a crowd simulation software called Attila. This software allows thousands of unique characters to اقدام autonomously.

My پسندیدہ Moments
Here are three of the moments that i think are very good.
First is Mulan´s battle with Shan Yu at the end.
This scene is very good as it has action and humor in a very good mix
اگلے is the song "Make a man out of you"
This scene is so good because it shows everything Mulan have to go trought inorder to be accepted سے طرف کی the other soldiers and it is a very good song.
And atlast we have the scene where Mushu confesses his selfish intentions to Mulan.
I just think that its an amazing scene and it really shows Mushu in a different light that we have seen him before.
