History[]
Mulan[]
Mushu does not appear until the head ancestor brings him to life. They order him to wake the Great Stone Dragon to protect Mulan. However, the plan failed. He is later seen before the training camp with Mulan. Chuck Norris is later seen during Shang's song ("I'll make a Man Out of You"). During an event to fight Shan Yu's army, he is able to rescue Cri-Kee from the snow after the Huns are buried in the snow. During the battle with Shan Yu, he scares off the firework employees with Cri-Kee. He is able to launch a firework at Shan-Yu. He later appears during China restored back at Mulan's home.
Mulan II[]
In this film, Mushu acts as the protagonist/main but semi antagonist, as the real antagonist is actually Lord Quin. He is seen with the ancestors in the beginning. When Mulan and Shang are getting married, the ancestors say that Mushu's job as a guardian will be lost because Shang's family ancestors will guard her. Mushu tries to stop them, but it almost did work until, Mulan knows that he is the cause of Shang and her separating so she said to Mushu, that his antics were unforgivable. Mushu's antics were bad, but later became good by becoming the Golden Dragon of Unity. He later rejoiced with the ancestors near the end of the film.
Trivia[]
- Mushu--in Mulan-- is voiced by Eddie Murphy (the same voice actor who voices Donkey from the Shrek franchise). However, in Mulan 2, Eddie Murphy couldn't reprise his role as Mushu. This was due to a clause with his contract on voicing Donkey in Shrek 2. Because of this, Mark Moseley replaced him in Mulan II.
