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

Let's start off দ্বারা 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 মুলান included. Others have a real problem with it. Now to all আপনি nitpicky bastards out there, here are the reasons why মুলান 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 মুলান and Shang, the most unnecessary romance in ডিজনি history (not counting sequels). মুলান is the only DP movie where a প্রণয় interest isn't driving the plot. The chemistry between them feels আরো like a friendly bond and while it is realistic, it just wasn't necessary. Mulan's decisions and actions are driven দ্বারা her প্রণয় 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 মুলান and Shang's relationship, I just wish it was written আরো properly. And truthfully, the movie did not need a romance, especially one so halfhearted.

মুলান is probably the most flawed princess, পরবর্তি to Ariel. Where as the other princesses are classy, refined, bubbly, cheery and near perfection. মুলান 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) অথবা flawed but never learn from their mistakes (Ariel, Tiana). মুলান 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, মুলান 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 মেঘ hovering Mulan. On a side note, why is he voiced দ্বারা Eddie Murphy?

Everyone can agree that মুলান is দ্বারা 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 ডিজনি নায়ক made great sacrifices simply because they really want something but মুলান did it for her loved ones. Also, মুলান rescues China! She risks her life and acheives the impossible! I can talk all দিন about what a great role model she is.

Many people see মুলান as the first feminist friendly princess which isn't entirely true. Ariel, Belle, Jas and Poca all have somewhat feminist elements to their characters. আপনি 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, মুলান is indeed a good model of female empowerment.

I think it's interesting that ডিজনি is willing to include মুলান before they include Pocahontas. If আপনি 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, মুলান is actually very জনপ্রিয় among little girls.

To me মুলান represents courage. As many as would say, being ব্রেভ 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.
