Disney’s hit animated film “Mulan” () takes the legend and livens it up with some sidekick characters, such as the trio of soldiers, Yao, Ling and Chien Po, who befriend Mulan and append humor to the epic story.
This September, “Mulan” returns to film in a live actionversion on Disney+. Even though Mushu the imaginary dragon isn’t in the film, the soldier trio is.
