Since the creation of cinema in the early 1900s, Hollywood has continued to recreate elements of history to reproduce them for future generations . In order to clearly convey a specific theme or message to viewers around the world, Hollywood executives tend to embellish real-life events, in order to give a "fairy tale" feel to a story that may not seem not so “happily ever after” story. As part of this "fairy tale" aspect, Hollywood tends to delegitimize and provide a more disrespectful and comical version of the societies and cultures in the specific time period in which the film takes place. Through the art of storytelling, the films Mulan and Kung Fu Panda depict the two sides of Hollywood, the falsification and mockery of the Chinese people, their society, their beliefs and real events in history and that of a faithful representation.

The legend begins by telling the story of an old man, who had no eldest sons, who was called to fight in the Chinese army. Knowing that her father is likely to die, Mulan agrees to fight in his place and pretend to be a man, unbeknownst to her fellow soldiers. The film builds on this premise as we are told the fictional account of Mulan's life, from before she took her father's place until after. Disney's version of the Mulan story depicts Mulan as a young girl in what appears to be medieval China, who from the first scene until the second half of the film is shown studying and memorizing the rules according to which she is supposed to live. In the film, unlike the original Mulan story, Mula... middle of paper... Isney does it again.'". The Baltimore Sun. Published June 19, 1999.
