Mulan's Chinese New Year Greetings was a former attraction that formerly performed at the Golden State area in 2004. It was a Chinese New Year-themed entertainment themed after the 1998Disney animated feature film Mulan.
Summary[]
Mulan's Chinese New Year Greetings occurred at the Golden State district near the former Mission Tortilla Factory area located at the Pacific Wharf area. It was presented in the style of a "mini-parade", a street performance, and autograph section where guests would interact with the performers. Accompanied by a recording of the song "Honor to Us All" from the film, the procession made its way across the bridge of the area's San Francisco theme. In addition to containing Mulan and Mushu in it, the show also included a Chinese parade dragon in order to match the attraction's Chinese theme. The procession's destination where the dragon act would perform was by the former "Golden Dreams" area where the perofrmers would "park" the dragon next to it. Other acts that were in the show consisted of ribbon skills as well as drumming acts.
Trivia[]
Despite its title and the show itself performing on April, Chinese New Year in 2004 occurred on January 22 of that year, which marked the Year of the Monkey. Additionally, despite its title, this was part of Disney's effort to add more characters as the summer season approached.
Mulan was released in 1998 entirely produced by the Walt Disney Feature Animation facility in Florida and the cavalcade itself premiered onn April 2004. On January 2004, Disney announced that it was going to shut down its Florida animation studio. The animators who worked at the animation studio in FLorida received their final paychecks on March 19, 2004, coincidentally a few weeks before the Mulan-themed cavalcade premiered.
