Mulan is an American animated musical adventure film produced in 1998 by Walt Disney, which is based on the Chinese legend Hua Mulan. The movie stars Ming-Na Wen (Fa Mulan), Eddie Murphy (Mushu), BD Wong (Captain Li Shang), and Miguel Ferrer (Shan Yu).

Fa Mulan is a brave, altruistic warrior and the daughter of an aged soldier, who is passionate about defending her family and country from external aggression. However, there’s one major factor working against her – her female gender.

Mulan decides to disguise herself as a man so she can take her father’s place in the army in a bid to combat invasion. Despite numerous seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Mulan heroically succeeds in her military quests.

Mulan was one of the most iconic films of the late-90s. It received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. To pay further tribute to the legend, Disney produced a live-action version of the film in 2020. The new film stars Liu Yifei in the title role.

Besides its action-packed plot, Mulan also treated us to some of the funniest and most inspiring quotes you can ever find in a movie. Here are the 40 most badass Mulan quotes.
