"Fa" is the Cantonese pronunciation of Mulan's family name. "Hua" is the correct Mandarin pronunciation, and means "flower." "Hua Ping" (Mulan's fake name) means "flower vase" or just "vase." In China, an effeminate man is often called a "flower vase" or "flowerpot."
Mulan's name means "wood orchid" or "magnolia." As such, magnolias serve as a running motif in the movie.
The first Disney animated film to openly deal with warfare.
