History -
The story of a brave Chinese woman named Mulan has been told in China for nearly 2,000 years. Mulan is rumored to have been a real person. "Mulan" is the first feature primarily produced at Walt Disney Feature Animations Florida, Disney's state-of-the-art animation studio in Orlando, which began operation nearly 10 years ago.
The artistic approach to the film was based on the Chinese "sing" style of "negative," or empty, spaces balanced by "positive" detail -- almost a "yin and yang" concept. The movie's artistic supervisors spent three weeks in China sketching, photographing, and soaking up the culture. Computer animators used the latest technology to add detail and mimic camera techniques that were previously unavailable in animation -- like crowd scenes of up to 30,000 people. They used a computer program called "Atilla" to make an incredible sequence featuring 2,000 Huns on horseback.
