To repel the Huns, a man from each family is required to join the Imperial Army. When Mulan's elderly father Fa Zhou volunteers, she objects. He warns, "I know my place. It is time you learned yours." Mulan, however, cuts her hair, dresses as a man, and is ready for military camp so her father can rest at home without entering war, prompting the concern of her First Ancestor, who converts an inanimate incense burner into the 18-inch high comedic dragon Mushu.

During an ambush by the Huns in a mountain pass, Mulan steps in to turn defeat into a victory.
