The Emperor of China had become too old to win the battle and save the empire against the evil Huns. Mulan knew her father would never win the battle because he was too old and had no son, so she disguised herself as a warrior. Even though a woman could only bring honor to the family by being a good wife, and a son would bring honor by being a brave soldier, Mulan was forced to disguise herself as a boy in order to save her father and her kingdom. Along with the help of a little dragon named Mushu, a lucky cricket named Cri-kee and Captain Shang and his imperial army Mulan and her brave and lucky band of misfits defeat the enemy and bring honor to the kingdom.
