History Heartwarming / Mulan

* During the "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" reprise, when Mulan and the three guys are getting ready to infiltrate the palace, and Shang taps on Mulan's shoulder and throws his cape around the pillar. Considering his attitude towards her after finding out "he" was a "she", it's especially heartwarming to see him joining in with plan with no reservations.

** And one more: After Shan Yu's defeat, all four men close ranks protectively in front of Mulan when Chi Fu starts trying to threaten her again, only reluctantly moving aside when the Emperor specifically gestures for them to do so.

** In the same vein: when it looks as if Mulan is about to be executed, Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po rush to defend her before Chi Fu stops them. Considering how distraught they were moments before over "Ping"'s injury, it's ''highly'' unlikely that their horror was due to suddenly seeing her as just a DamselInDistress rather than a [[AFriendInNeed respected friend in immediate danger]]. Especially when you take the above example into account. Not to mention their devotion to her is even more heartwarming considering that Yao and Ling had been the most relentlessly mean to her at the start.

* Near the end of Be a Man, where Yao catches Mulan/Ping's staff in the air, but quickly hands it off to her/him with a smile, showing she/he has earned his respect.

'''Fa Zhou''': ''(throws them aside and hugs her)'' The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.

-->'''Fa Zhou''': ''(sits down next to Mulan and looks up at the budding blossom tree)'' My, my. What beautiful blossoms we have this year. ''(notices a late bud)'' But look! This one's late. But I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.

--> Is she allowed to do that?
--> ''don't know, don't care''

* All of these. Also, not sure if this fits here, but: at the end Mulan says "Would you like to stay for dinner?" and the Grandma shouts "Would you like to stay forever?"
** This example is both this trope and a CrowningMomentOfFunny, in my opinion.

* When the Emperor is captured by Shan Yu, we see Shang, Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po trying to break into the palace to rescue him. Mulan runs over and tells them she has a plan. Shang looks understandably hesitant to follow her, but Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po ''immediately'' drop what they're doing and run over to help her. It clearly doesn't bother them a bit that she's a woman or that she had to lie to get into the army. That, my friends, is the very definition of TrueCompanions.

* ''HELLO''! You're forgetting the most heartwarming moment of all... Mulan giving the '''Emperor''' a freakin hug!

* It's quick, but after they save the Emperor and Shan Yu turns to Shang and Mulan on the ground, Shang puts his arm out protectively in front of Mulan.

--> ''don't know, don't care''

* ''HELLO''! You're forgetting the most heartwarming moment of all... Mulan giveing the '''Emperor''' a freakin hug!

* Shang's blundering around Mulan at the end. "Um, you...you fight good." A fine {{adorkable}} moment.

* All of China bowing to Mulan.

* At the end of the first movie when Mulan returns with the Sword of Chang Yu (Is that spelled correctly?) and the Seal of the Emperor and her father says: "The greatest honor is having you as a daughter"...
