- In order to make the film have Disney characteristics while retaining the Chinese style, Disney carefully studied the techniques of Chinese martial arts. The company has hired a large number of writers, historians, and artists from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to conduct repeated research and review on the script, scenes, and modeling of the film in order to maintain its Chinese characteristics and the spirit of the original work.
- The whole film has the style of Chinese ink painting, but all materials are processed exclusively by Disney.
- The supporting role of Mushu Dragon, a clown, is equivalent to the monster in "Aladdin". While helping the protagonist gag around, it also supports the drama structure as a contrasting mirror.
- Disney gave a more humane description of Mulan's heroic feat after joining the army: Mulan did not go head-to-head with men like Demi Moore, but used wisdom to win and weak to dominate.
- The two major war scenes in the second half of the film belong to the children's version of the action film. The fighting is fierce but without the slightest smell of blood.
- The music uses a variety of oriental instruments and many Chinese melodies.
- The film cost 100 million U.S. dollars and took 2 years to complete with the hard work and talents of more than 700 artists.
- The film's global box office of 300 million US dollars, mainly contributed by the European and American markets.
- This film is the first time Disney has adopted Chinese elements as the theme of the movie.

This is Disney's only animated film with a complete Chinese story. The music is very good, and the little dragon with alfalfa inside is particularly interesting. However, the cultural heritage in the story is not entirely Chinese, and it feels a bit out of touch with foreign countries. The creators have not done enough on this point of homework. I heard that a live-action version is about to be made, and I hope it can be improved.
