Mushu (Mulan)

Mushu is the deuteragonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is a fast-talking, self-absorbed Chinese dragon and the self-appointed guardian of Fa Mulan.

Why He Used to Rock

 * 1) He used to be a hilarious comic relief.
 * 2) Eddie Murphy did a fantastic job voicing him.
 * 3) He was rather helpful to Mulan, and assisted her in warding off the Hun invasion.
 * 4) He said funny quotes like: “CHICKEN BOY?! SAY THAT TO MY FACE, YA LIMP NOODLE!”, “Hey, don't look at me, I ain't bitin' no more butts,” and “You missed?!? How could you miss?! He was three feet in FRONT OF YOU!”
 * 5) While he and Cri-Kee are frenemies, Mushu valued Cri-Kee as a friend and sidekick.
 * 6) He made a very good spirit guide.
 * 7) He was also one of Disney’s funniest characters ever created.
 * 8) In Ancient Chinese culture, dragons are used a symbol to represent good luck and harmony as well as imperial power and unity, and his portrayal in the original film at least succeeded in staying true to this to that symbol in Ancient Chinese culture, such as how he was helpful to Mulan and Shang's army against Shan Yu and the Huns.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He might be self-centered at times even while still likable.
 * 2) He can be impatient.
 * 3) He is blatantly flanderized in Mulan II, where he is now a creepy, self-centered, manipulative jerk.
