#22: A Secret Shoutout
It’s no secret that Mulan is one Disney princess who broke the glass ceiling and presented the viewers with a different take on women’s roles in Hollywood and children’s films in particular. Part of the reason why the iconic Disney film is so popular to this day is that it presents a modern commentary on gender roles, something that was new and refreshing at the time the movie was released.
Like every other Disney film, Mulan is also riddled with gems and Easter Eggs—take this scene, for example. Mulan is sitting across from a headstone with Chinese writing. Of course, most viewers can’t read what the headstone says, and even if they could, no one really paid any attention to it. As it turns out, when translated, it mentions the names of the film’s creators!
