Memes / Mulan

Go To

The 1998 film:

  • Go into any room (or bar, or internet chatroom...) full of people who grew up with this movie (people born in the late '80s or early '90s) and sing "Let's get down to business" (the opening lyrics from "Make a Man Out of You"). They will not only finish the line for you, but likely sing the entire song. Also applicable whenever Mulan (the folktale character) makes an appearance in other medias, such when she appears in Smite, which caused players to sing the song when talking about her.
  • Mushu's "dishonor" rant is particularly quotable to show displeasure or otherwise, particularly the line "Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!"
  • "They just popped out of the snow! LIKE DAISIES!!"
  • "Hello? HEEEEEEELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!" HELLO!"
  • "I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!"
  • "Say that to my face, you limp noodle!"
  • An exploitable line from Mushu, with obvious applications: "You missed! How could you miss? He was THREE FEET IN FRONT OF YOU!"
  • "And I... AM YAO! KING OF THE ROCK! And there's nothin' you girls can do about it!"
  • "YOU MUST DEMONSTRATE A SENSE OF DIGNITY."
  • "Ooh, I think my bunny slippers just ran for cover." Explanation 
  • If you see a picture on the internet that has someone/something looking directly in a mirror, you can expect either the caption or the comments from said image quoting the "Reflection" song.
  • The limited-time McDonald's Szechuan Dipping Sauce made to promote this movie. After the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty turned it, and the fact that it was apparently delicious, into a Running Gag, the internet exploded with requests to McDonald's for it to be brought back. Cue Hype Backlash sinking in after McD's did so.
  • The Great Wall soldier's "Now all of China knows you're here" is often used in reference to people who try to do something quietly but accidentally make a lot of noise. If the person who made a lot of noise isn't deterred by this, they'll usually follow it up with the line "Perfect".
  • The scene where Mulan serves tea (said tea is poured from the pot) while she stares blankly at the matchmaker is put in many generic Disney-referring gifs.
  • Chi Fu's portrait of him fanboying over the stoic Emperor.

Mulan II:

The 2020 film:

  • After the first trailer, Chinese netizens joked that the red symbol painted on Mulan's forehead is the Huawei logo.
  • A video of a French cinema owner going amok and smashing up a Mulan cutout after Disney announced that the movie would be a Disney+ exclusive in most parts of the world.
  • Dulan, no Mulannote - after videos of the above French cinema owner reached Malaysian shores, Malaysian Chinese folks started memeing that rhyme. While Malaysian theaters are screening Mulan due to the lack of Disney+ in the country, ticket prices are expected to be exorbitant at peak hours due to needing to cut down the amount of seats to ensure social distancing because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
  • "THIS SHOT IS BRILLIANT AND SHOULD BE SHOWN IN ANY FILM STUDY CLASS." note 
  • Many viewers have commented on Tzi Ma's resemblance to Xi Jinping. Wouldn't be the first Disney character either.
  • (WOMAN SCREAMING) (CHICKEN CLUCKING)note
