The text addresses gender construction in the cartoon Mulan, produced in the 1990's by one of the leading family entertainment studios, Disney. The cartoon is unique in its choice of a female hero who makes her own decisions on her life, changing the established image and behavioural patterns of her community in the process. An in-depth analysis, however, shows that she is a single exception in an entirely patriarchal society, and that her - and consequently Disney's - achievement belongs to girlhood rather than to the world of a grown woman. The cartoon thus introduces merely a semblance of novelties (which are nevertheless very important to girls), while still lacking in new possibilities for an adult heroine.
