The journey is filled with peril and obstacle, and at the same time, put Shang and Mulan's relationship to test due to their differing beliefs on set up marital relationships.
Character Development and ConflictsDuring the journey, the princesses fall for Yao, Ling and Chien Po, defying the initial function of their trip and raising unanswered concerns about love and commitment.
