Movies that feel likeMulan (1998)
If you loved Mulan, the closest films we have are Tarzan (1999), Brother Bear (2003) and Anastasia (1997). All three share Mulan's whimsical and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998).

If Mulan hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Mulan II (2004)

Another late-90s Disney hero torn between who they are and where they belong
The difference: Jungle romance and spectacle — none of the martial bite

A rash young hunter transformed until he understands what honor means
The difference: Slower and soppier — a soft mid-2000s entry without a real villain

A resourceful heroine crossing a dangerous country to reclaim her name
The difference: Romance-driven and Broadway-broad, with a supernatural villain

Whimsical and warm in the same breath

Both keep coming back to the same thing: villain
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

The same mix in both: comfort, then scale

Whimsical animation in both cases

Warm family, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Mulan does

Both are built on the same subject: musical
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

A sheltered daughter breaking out to discover what she is capable of
The difference: Fizzy CG romance — the danger never feels like an army at the gates

A daughter swept into a hidden war where courage decides everything
The difference: Handsome but generic — the heroine follows the plot more than leads it

A heroine whose real battle is expectation, not just the villain
The difference: Sisterhood and power ballads replace training grounds and battlefields
