Behind the scenes
Although featuring no actual queer content, Disney's Mulan is well-liked in the LGBTQ community due to the titular character's crossdressing and the possible if unintended reading that her eventual love interest, Li Shang, first takes an interest in “her” while still under the impression that she is a man. Notably, an alternate-universe version of Disney's Mulan in was depicted explicitly as bisexual.
