With disappointed eyes he looks at her and says “Mulan…you dishonor me…” Later in the movie, you hear Mushu yelling at Mulan the infamous line “Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!”
Throughout the movie, Mushu refers to Khan as a "cow," yet only once, after the Hun archers attack the cart carrying cannons with fire arrows and destroy it, Mushu calls Khan a horse. The name "Khan" translates to "prince" but can also mean "king" or "leader" in many Tuco-Mongol languages.
Speaking with USAToday, the film's director, Niki Caro, revealed that the tiny dragon character — who was voiced by Eddie Murphy in the original Disney film — was intentionally left out of the new remake for storytelling purposes.
Mushu is the deuteragonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is a pint-sized, fast-talking, self-absorbed Chinese dragon and the self-appointed guardian of Fa Mulan.
It turns out that the traditional Chinese audience did not particularly think that was the best interpretation of the dragon in their culture. That the dragon is a sign of respect, and of strength and power, and sort of using it as a silly sidekick did not play well with a traditional Chinese audience.”
Performers. "Keep 'em Guessing" is a song sung by Mushu/Eddie Murphy in the Disney animated film, Mulan. The song was recorded and intended to be part of the film but never added to the movie.
Although this dragon's name may have been inspired by the Chinese dish moo shu pork, the characters of his name (Mù and xū) translate to “wood” and “necessary.” Voiced by Eddie Murphy, Mushu appeared in the beloved Disney film Mulan as a wise-cracking, bumbling sidekick.
Before she takes her life she asks her younger sister, Youlan, which was to deliver Xianniang's letter to her fiancé. Her sister dresses as a man to make the delivery, but her disguise is discovered and she catches the fiancé's eye. Hua Mulan's last words were: "I'm a girl, I have been through war and have done enough.
“Loyal, Brave, True” (忠勇真) are the three words engraved on the Hua family sword, comprising Mulan's central motif that in turn reflects this live action remake's reexamination of what constitutes Chinese feminism.
Mushu is Fa Mulan's closest companion throughout the Mulan series. He is a scrawny, reddish-orange Chinese dragon with blue horns and a cheeky-chappy personality. He is voiced by Eddie Murphy in his first appearance and Mark Moseley (a professional Eddie Murphy impressionist) afterward.
Mushu, like Donkey in Shrek corresponds to the archetype of the Trickster and retains some comic characteristics. Donkey too, in fact, supports Shrek in his business but for his personal interest. In Harry Potter, instead, Dobby represents this archetype.
For starters, Mulan no longer has a guardian dragon named Mushu (voiced by Eddie Murphy in the animated movie) or a cricket sidekick. Instead, she's guarded by a phoenix (who doesn't talk) and befriends her fellow army trainees who have new names, including a gentle one named Cricket.
In the original, Mushu was a well-intentioned but slightly misguided sidekick who gave me some laughs with his comedic moments throughout the film. In this sequel, he's a selfish villain who attempts to break up the relationship between Mulan and Shang.
Despite being insulted that he wasn't chosen to accompany Mulan on her journey, Mushu bangs a small gong and shouts in an attempt to awaken the Great Stone Dragon's spirit, which is located inside a large stone statue outside of the family's temple.
…the trouble with oaths of the form, death before dishonor, is that eventually, given enough time and abrasion, they separate the world into two sorts of people: the dead, and the forsworn.
Home on the Range is the 45th full-length animated feature film in the Disney Animated Canon, and was released on April 2, 2004. It tells a tale of three dairy cows in the wild west who search for a wanted criminal to save their farm from going bankrupt.
