Mushu in the Disney movie "Mulan" was originally intended to be a much larger, more powerful dragon. But his character was downsized to add humor and relatability.
That's so interesting! Imagine if they'd kept Mushu as a huge, fearsome dragon—it would've changed the whole vibe of the movie! I think making him smaller added a lot of charm and let his personality shine. Plus, his wit and humor brought Mulan a true partner, not just a protector.
