Mulan

Summary: In the eyes of the local matchmaker, Mulan doesn't exactly pass as a desirable bride. Instead, when China goes to war, Mulan sneaks away to take her father's place as the newest recruit.

Takeaways: I appreciate the way Disney explores traditional gender roles through this 1998 film. Regardless of the audience's culture, I believe viewers can relate to the stressful expectation of bringing honor to one's family.
