Mulan
When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Chinese Army to defend the country from Huns, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. She is spirited, determined and quick on her feet. Disguised as a man by the name of Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her innermost strength and embrace her true potential.

Mulan triggers an avalanche using archery skills to defeat Rourans
Witch Xianniang confronts Mulan and mocks her male disguise
The film jumps from its lowest point during Xianniang's generic villain introduction to its highest point with the spectacular avalanche battle sequence.
Mulan 2020 received mixed reception from critics who praised its visual spectacle and production values while criticizing fundamental story changes. The film peaks during its action sequences, particularly the avalanche battle, but struggles with character development and the controversial decision to give Mulan magical powers from birth rather than earned abilities. Overall, reviewers found it a competent but joyless retelling that lacks the heart and charm of the original.
