Based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, the 1998 Walt Disney Feature Animation Mulan was Disney's 36th animated feature and the ninth animated film produced and released during the Disney Renaissance. Development for the film began in 1994, when a number of artistic supervisors were sent to China to receive artistic and cultural inspiration. Mulan was well received by critics and the public who praised the animation, plot, characters (particularly the title character), and musical score, and grossed over $304 million. It earned a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination and won several Annie Awards, including Best Animated Feature.
