Ming-Na Wen Celebrates Mulan’s 24th Anniversary With Throwback Disney Pic

screenrant.com:

Ming-Na Wen has shared a behind-the-scenes image from Mulan to celebrate the film's 24th anniversary. Wen had been acting for almost 15 years before Mulan hit theaters, but the Disney moviequickly became one of her most popular films. While starring in dozens of projects over the years, Wen has maintained a consistent working relationship with Disney, becoming part of two of their biggest franchises. Wen played a huge role in Agents of SHIELD as Melinda May before joining the Star Wars universe as Fennec Shand, who was introduced in The Mandalorian before having a starring role in The Book of Boba Fett. Despite these two roles, Mulan is still considered her most famous.

Mulan premiered in 1998 with Wen voicing the titular character, B.D. Wong as Shang, and Eddie Murphy as Mushu. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook were able to give Disney another hit, with Mulan reaching critical acclaim upon release and getting an Oscar nomination for Best Music, Original Musical or Comedy Score. There are several memorable characters throughout Disney's long history, yet Mulan has consistently remained one of their most popular since it came near the end of Disney's Renaissance period.
