No idea about Mulan other than it's based off Chinese legend

That's what the telling in 'Warrior Woman' would imply but that's where my knowledge ends as well.

That's what I'm saying, Disney essentially doesn't use the source material but rather reimagines it with vague references.

Disney outright dismissed their offer of consultation in favor of a rendition that romanticized a tragedy in blatant disrespect of Native American history and of a young woman's suffering.

I didn't realize that about Hercules.

Once again illustrating my above point that they don't really use the source material.
