(He says you need both strength and discipline to reach an arrow...but he doesn't specify whether it could be with other goals as well.) |

Line 12:
** When Mulan finally climbs the pillar and reaches the arrow, she does so by tangling the straps of each of the weights together. The weights represent Strength and Discipline respectively - and by tying them together, one can reach their goals.
** Also, the lucky cricket. Mulan's grandmother told her that it would help her find a good husband... and in the end the cricket's actions help her find Shang, even if it was in a roundabout way.
** When Shang lets Mulan out of her conscription notice, Mulan decides to stay instead of going home, even though her father would most likely not be in danger at that point. While there was no indication that Chi Fu would try conscripting Fa Zhou again (and Shang would most likely send Fa Zhou home as well if he did, as he would likely notice that Fa Zhou was injured by the last war he was in), and Fa Zhou would possibly be willing to forgive her for what she had done, going back home would mean trying to become a doormat again...and Mulan isn't cut out to be a doormat.
** When Khan first sees Mushu, he reacts by stomping on the dragon. The enemy of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac is the Snake, which the Horse tramples as the Snake bites at its legs.
** As for the Great Stone Dragon not waking up to the gong, Mulan sat under that very statue when she made her decision to run away to the army and take her father's place. Mushu couldn't wake the dragon up because its spirit had already left with Mulan, inspiring her to courage!
* At 9 years old, <s> "Be a Man"</s> "I'll Make a Man Out Of You" was just another catchy Disney song.
*** We must be swift as the coursing river With all the force of a great typhoon With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
*** "Let your rapidity be that of the wind, your campactness that of the forest. In raiding and plundering be like fire, in immovability like a mountain. Let your plans be dark and inpetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.\\"
*** Also, "tranquil as forest, but on fire within" is a reference to the black side of the yin yang. Very clever lyrics, indeed. -[[The Shadow]]
** Mulan is considered as an official [[Disney Princess]] despite being neither royalty by birth nor marriage. Had she ended up marrying the wrong guy at the end of the sequel, she would have became a princess herself!
* Mulan uses a fan, an object that is a symbol of femininity, to defeat Shan-Yu, showing that it doesn't strictly have to be a symbol of femininity.
* Noted in a WMG, the letter that Mushu gave Chi Fu was actually exactly what was needed for Shang's troupe to arrive in time to save the day. Now think about who actually WROTE the letter for a second... That is one lucky cricket.

** Also, what if Mulan passed the Matchmaker's test and ends up with a terrible husband? Granted, not everyone in China would be a horrible husband (Yao, Chien Po, and Ling are shown not to have terribly high standards)
*
Maybe they were secretly double agents for the Huns? They didn't seem too concerned about what had happened to the Emepror...
