IMO the Disney version of Mulan was too short. Especially considering that the historical Mulan was in discguise as a guy for like 12 years and was only discovered to be female when her comrades in arms decided to visit her at home. A friend of mine lives in the villiage of China where she's from and where the temple devoted to Mulan is. There's even a festival each year in her honor and a crater on the planet Venus is named after her. From the poem written about Mulan in the 6th century: Facing the window she fixes her cloudlike hair, Hanging up a mirror she dabs on yellow flower powder She goes out the door and sees her comrades. Her comrades are all amazed and perplexed. Traveling together for twelve years They didn't know Mu-lan was a girl. "The he-hare's feet go hop and skip, The she-hare's eyes are muddled and fuddled. Two hares running side by side close to the ground, How can they tell if I am he or she?"
