The Characters of Mulan
Mulan

Mulan

Mulan doesn't have a stereotypical Asian look which is refreshingly different. It is hard to place what part of Asia she is from. When Mulan is being prepared to meet the matchmaker she has a classic geisha look, with a loose kimono and a big chignon. But obviously through most of the film she dresses like a man. She is very much a human girl, who's only real power is that she does not accept her lot in life. She refuses to be married off and be a baby factory. A true feminist Disney character!

The singing voice for Mulan will be provided by Lea Salonga (former star of the Broadway production of Miss Saigon and the singing voice for Jasmin in Aladdin) and the speaking voice will be provided by Ming-Na Wen (who appeared in "The Joy Luck Club" and "The Single Guy").


Mushu

Mushu

Mushu, the comedic dragon. He is an incense burner, who when prompted comes to life as a eighteen inch tall dragon. As Mulan points out, "My ancestors sent a green lizard to protect me?". He is a cute cartoon dragon. The character Mushu's voice will be supplied by Eddie Murphy.




Crickey

is a good luck charm that Mulan's Grandmother uses and that helps Mushu and Mulan save China. He looks a lot like a 'standard' cricket.
