Hi, everyone! This is Quilava the Flamethrower, reporting love from Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It's a beautiful afternoon, currently 1:46PM P as I write this sentence. Woah! Whoops! Didn't mean to break the fourth wall!! Anyways, I've noticed something quite disturbing-why isn't Mulan here at Disneyland? Really, have you ever seen Mulan walking around Disneyland like you see Elsa or Anna? I go at least once a year, sometimes up to four times, and I have never, not once, seen my favorite princess there, except at that princess gala thing. But really, why? She's an official Disney Princess. Even Disney says it. There's literally a list of princesses from Disney movies that Disney has that says all of the lucky girls dubbed an official Disney Princess. Mulan is on it, along with Pocahontas(who, by the way, I don't really see either!), Merida, Elsa and Anna, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Tiana, and a few others (if I forgot your princess, I'm sorry!!). So why haven't I seen Mulan dressed as Ping (her male alter ego), or in her regular clothing? Or even her outfit from meeting the matchmaker? I don't think I've ever even seen her in any parade. There's none of her merchandise in the stores at Disneyland, no one talks about her, no one seems to even notice that she's gone.

But why? In my opinion, she's the best princess. She saved China(one of the largest countries in the world) pretty much single handedly. She risked her life to save her father, never have up when she failed, and wasn't motivated by romantic love. Oh, and she's Asian, something you don't really see in movies. Not to be racist here. I might be biased, since I'm Chinese American myself, but really, she saved countless lives, and she can't even be featured at Disneyland? I'm not entirely the only one who's notice this problem, too. Just Google it.

Over and out, stay lovely!
