Description:

When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family 

must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders,

Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place 

of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step 

of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential.

It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn 

her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father. 

Transcription: 

HUA ZHOU: Do you know why the phoenix... 

sits on the right-hand of the Emperor?

She...is his guardian...his protector. 

She is both beautiful and strong. 

Your job is to bring honor to the family... 

Do you think you can do that?
