Mushu (Mulan)

Mushu (Mulan) You the man! Well... sort of! Gender: Male Type: Comic Relief Dragon Species: Dragon Portrayed by: Eddie Murphy (the original movie) "Mark Mosely" (the sequel) Status: Alive Media of origin: '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 Brings Honor to Us

1. Similar to other amazing and truly awesome comic reliefs, such as Rallo Tubbs from The Cleveland Show, Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants, Dory from Finding Nemo, Mater from Cars, Donkey from Shrek, Sid and Scrat from Ice Age, and Roger Smith from American Dad, Mushu is one of the most memorable comic reliefs in all of Animation and movie in general as Mushu has not only made a ton of internet memes, but he steals the spotloight whenever he appears.
2. Eddie Murphy and Mark Mosely did a fantastic job voicing him.
3. He is rather helpful to Mulan and assisted her in warding off the Hun invasion.
4. He says 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 values Cri-Kee as a friend and sidekick.
6. He makes a very good spirit guide (most of the time).
7. He is also one of Disney’s funniest characters ever created.
8. In Ancient Chinese culture, dragons have 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.
9. He’s still likable in all other entries outside Mulan II, and he has massively redeemed himself in the Kingdom Hearts video games.

Bad Qualities

1. He might be self-centered at times even while still likable and in non-flanderization.
2. Sometimes, he can be impatient.
3. He was blatantly flanderized in Mulan II, where he turned into a creepy, self-centered, manipulative jerk. Thankfully, in the Kingdom Hearts games, he has eventually massively improved his character to the point where he is back to normal.
