He mainly uses these sounds to create "Chinese" effects. Goldsmith's score includes his trademark integration of subtle electronic effects with traditional orchestral scoring. Goldsmith had dealt with the subject of war in China before in his highly distinguished score for The Sand Pebbles.

In form, it is an action/war movie rather than a musical. (This is true even of the greatest of them, Beauty and the Beast.) In Mulan, the story focuses on the action with the role of songs reduced. Prior Disney animated features were all musicals in form, their dramatic (i.e., non-song) music uniformly undistinguished.
In addition, there is a love interest in the form of her training captain and a comical sidekick in the form of a small dragon sent by her ancestors to dissuade her from enlisting. The main change in the plot is that in the Disney version, her true gender is detected during the course of the war she is banished but returns at the right moment to save the day.
Sans Souci adapted the story with a team of six screenwriters. The invaders defeated, she surprises everyone by revealing her true identity at the end. In it, a young woman named Hua (or Fa) Mulan (Magnolia Blossom) upholds her family honor and protects her infirm father by enlisting in the Northern Dynasty Army in his place and wins honor as a heroic commander. The classic poem "The Ballad of Mulan" has been a favorite of Chinese people (especially girls) for 14 centuries. The colorful orchestral effects greatly contributed to the exotic ambience of the film and supported the thrilling action sequences. Jerry Goldsmith seamlessly integrated his music with the songs composed by Matthew Wilder (and one by violinist Vanessa-Mae). The Disney studio's uncharacteristic decision to engage a major film composer for its animated feature Mulan resulted in one of its best film scores.
