The story takes place during a Hun invasion of China. Mulan's father--a war hero-- is called out to fight and defend the country against the northern invaders. However, Mulan realizes that her father is no longer the young man he was when he fought in the previous war and is in no condition to be on the front lines again. Sorrow for her own failures and concern for her father drive Mulan to cut her hair, don her fathers old uniform and leave to take his place in the armed forces.
Mulan is accompanied on her journey by a miniature guardian dragon named Mushu as well as her “lucky” cricket. Upon arriving at the camp, Mulan begins to realize that maybe she jumped into this adventure feet first as she struggles to make friends and complete the training that is required of her all while protecting her true identity. Despite several pitfalls Mulan is able to connect to her fellow comrades and even impress her commanding officer. These loyalties end up being questioned when Mulan's identity is discovered. Her discovery and dishonor cause Mulan to question her motives and even herself as a person. She must overcome her own self doubts when the city is attacked and she is needed in order to save the lives of not only her comrades but the emperor himself.
