Mulan Parade: Filmed 1998 at Disney MGM Studios 1998 (HD 50FPS)
Mulan Parade was a parade based on Mulan that ran at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
The parade at the then Disney MGM Studios is based on Disney's 36th full-length animated feature, Mulan, the story of a courageous young Chinese girl who goes to war on her father's behalf.
The parade begins with that pipsqueak of a dragon Mushu, who leads the way in a rickshaw that circles and cavorts down the street. He is followed by a larger-than-life matchmaker and a corps of future brides. Two tall pagodas and the moongate where Mulan and her father sit to exchange thoughts about the future finish out this opening sequence that pays tribute to Mulan's hometown.
Triumphant warriors returning from battle follow, hoisting the captured and shackled Shan Yu on their shoulders. Mushu has transformed into giant dragon with a battalion of soldiers re-enacting the battle against the Mongolian horde on the 150-foot long Great Wall.
A victory celebration follows, with joyous street performers, including stiltwalkers, kung-fu performers and a fleet-footed Chinese lion weave back and forth across the route. The grand procession concludes with the heroes of the story: the handsome Shang, beautiful Mulan herself and her proud father ride atop an elaborately decorated, horse-drawn carriage as they receive their heroes' welcome. The Emperor overlooks the end of the parade, watching the brave souls who have brought honour to their people.
INTERESTING FACTS
The Mulan parade debuted at Disney's Hollywood Studios on June 19, 1998, the same day the film opened at theatres nationwide.
The Mulan parade replaced the "Hercules - Zero to Hero Victory Parade" which debuted in June 1997 with the theatrical release of "Hercules."
The Great Wall of China is represented by a 150-foot-long Great Stone Dragon, which requires 17 performers.
Mulan was the first full-length film to be produced primarily by Walt Disney Feature Animation in Florida.
Disney's Hollywood Studios daytime parade always highlights a recent Disney animated movie. Previous parades have featured Aladdin (1995), Toy Story (1996), and Hercules (1997).
