Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict and resolution champion individual choice and love over rigid adherence to traditional duty, particularly regarding arranged marriages for women, aligning with progressive values of personal freedom.
The film features an inherently diverse cast consistent with its Chinese cultural setting, without explicit recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores themes of individual agency and challenging societal traditions, particularly concerning women's roles and arranged marriages, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities in a negative manner.
Secondary
The film features Mulan, who demonstrates her combat prowess by engaging in and winning physical fights against multiple male bandits using martial arts and a staff, effectively defending her companions.
Mulan II does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on heterosexual relationships and traditional gender roles within its plot, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
Mulan II is a direct sequel to the 1998 film, continuing the story with the established characters. All major characters retain their canonical genders from the previous installment and the underlying legend, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender.
Mulan II is an animated sequel where all established characters, based on Chinese legend and the prior film, maintain their East Asian racial depiction. No characters established as one race were portrayed as a different race.
