ulan doesn't seem to fit in in her world. Everything a proper young Chinese girl is supposed to be -- graceful, demure, quiet -- she is not. But when her homeland and family are threatened by an invasion of bloodthirsty Huns, Mulan runs away to join the army in her father's place. There she learns that her courage, intelligence, and determination offer her a way to bring honor to her family and herself. Mulan is one of a new breed of Disney heroines who have surfaced in the '90s: She's braver, more independent, and less focused on winning a husband than earlier Disney animated maidens were. The character of Mulan is based on an ancient Chinese legend, which is said to tell the exploits of a real-life girl warrior.
