The film’s plot takes place in China during the Han dynasty, where Fa Mulan impersonates a man to take her father’s place during a general conscription to counter a Hun invasion. The Huns, led by the ruthless Shan Yu, invade the imperial Han China by breaching the Great Wall, and Mulan cleverly uses a Huolongchushui cannon to cause an avalanche, which buries most of the invaders. The ancestors order their great stone dragon to protect Mulan. They send the small dragon Mushu, a disgraced former guardian, to awaken the stone dragon, but he accidentally destroys it in the process.
Mushu conceals this from the ancestors and resolves to protection Mulan himself. The movie ends with Mulan lures the Hun leader onto the roof of the Emperor’s palace, where she engages him in single combat where he dies in a fireworks tower explosion, resulting in the resulting explosion, where he is initially reprimanded by the Emperor for having destroyed the palace and having destroyed Mulan’s message to the world.
