 Mulan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Mulan herself (drawn to resemble The Joy Luck Club's Ming-Na Wen, her speaking voice) is a winner, and the story is designed to appeal to both boys (lots of action) and girls (a woman in the middle of all that action, plus a little romance): few summer movies will surpass it.
So Mulan cuts her hair, grabs his commission, and rides out to take his place, aided by a feckless jive-talking red dragon (he's sent, sort of, by her Ancestors) named Mushu (Eddie Murphy) and a good-luck cricket named Cri-Kee.
The best thing about Mulan is Mulan herself: the "Gotta be me/Gotta find out who I am" formula may be rote, but she has her own style, as when, on her way to the Matchmaker, she finds the move that unlocks a café game of Go (this is one smart fortune cookie).

 phorum - Chinese Culture Forum at Asiawind - Mulan: To Fa or to Hua, that is the question
First Mulan's family name is not "Fa" (as in Cantonese) but "Hua" (as in Mandarin).
If the cartoon names her Fa Mok Lan that is not too bad, but to give her a Cantonese "Fa" and a Mandarin "Mulan" is too much for me and my Cantonese wife.
Hua Mulan, as I know from the story told to me by my nanny and grand aunty, is one of filial piety, patriotism and romance, in that order.
