Some of Mushu's memorable quotes from the movie:
"Now THAT's what I call Mongolian BBQ!"
"Ooo...I think my bunny slippers just ran for cover..."
"I ain't bitin' no more butts!" LOL
"Let's go kick some hunnie-buns!"

Hua Mulan or Fa Mulan (花木兰 huā mù lán) , a heroine in an all male army, is described in a famous chinese poem, known as Ballad of Mulan. When I was young, my grandmother used to tell me the story (whether history or legend) about Fa Mulan who went to war on behalf of her father. She dressed up in boy's clothes and put on her father's armor, and joined the army disguised as a boy.

'Reflection' sung by Lea Salonga in the Disney movie, and also by Christina Aguilera is a wonderful moving song. Great meaningful lyrics, thought-provoking especially when Mulan asks:
Who is that girl i see?
Staring straight
Back at me
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
I believe that for everyone, at some point in their lives, these questions will pop up. Soul searching, getting to know oneself, finding out who we really are. Deep, yes, but then again, do we know who we really, truly are? Or do we just see a reflection of ourselves, not our real persons? As we grow in life, our reflections change together with us. As life goes on, the way we see ourselves also change.
