In the world of Disney leading ladies, all eyes are always on the traditional princesses. But maybe we don’t need a princess, but a warrior.
While Cinderella is at the ball and Belle is reading books, Mulan is saving China. CHINA! She risks her life, posing as a man, to save her family and ends up saving her whole nation.
Mulan as a character is also so different from her princess counterparts. She was destined to be a bride, but it didn’t suit her. She changed her destined, found her true place in the world, and fought through all the adversity to prove it.
And overall, she did everything to save her father. Her love is for her family first and foremost, and her story is not finding her “prince”. Take that Frozen, Mulan did it first!
She also lucked out with very supportive friends, even after being abandoned in the mountains and snow.
Who is your most underrated Disney lady? Let me know below!
I totally agree! I’ve always said that she never gets enough attention, also I think the same for Pocahontas! I’ve loved this movie for so long, now it’s one of my sons favourites too!
I LOVE Mulan and agree she is absolutely underrated. She is such a good role model princess – way better than waiting for a prince to come rescue her.
seriously! I love this Disney film! Esp. the “let’s get down to business…” song lol. every time!
