In the film,
Actor BD Wong, who voices Captain Li Shang, the film's love interest, is now adding his two cents to the discourse.
Prior to Reed's justification for the removal of Li Shang, many fans had expressed disappointment with the news, as many believed Li Shang was a member of the LGBTQ+ community, pointing out that he initially developed a bond with Mulan's male alter ego Ping. He later fell in love with Mulan as a woman.
Some time later, Mulan and Shang officially marry in Mulan's village, and Mushu accepts the loss of his position. However, Shang combines the family temples, enabling Mushu to continue being a guardian spirit. While celebrating, Mushu accidentally reveals himself to Shang and Mulan.
He and Mulan go through many conflicts around their romantic relationship, which is mostly instigated by Mushu, who had learned from the Fa Family Ancestors that if Mulan marries Shang, his family guardians will become hers, and he'll be reduced back to his former position as gong ringer in the process.
Shang survives the accident and arrives in time to stop the wedding but ultimately Mulan is saved by Mushu who, posing as the mighty Golden Dragon of Unity, frees the three princesses from their vows, and marries Mulan and Li Shang himself causing Mulan to forgive him for his actions.
The animated movie also featured a romance between Mulan and Li Shang, but Disney confirmed that Shang is not in the live-action adaptation. Instead, Mulan's love interest is Chen Honghui (Yoson An), and in an early cut of the film, the two share a kiss.
Mulan was thought to be just 16 when she chopped off her hair and took her father's place in the army, and Shang was 19.
Mulan & Shang's Relationship Still Wins The Battle. I'm a sucker for the big kiss when the couple finally gets together at the end of Disney movies.
In the film, Li Shang falls in love with Mulan after she enters the army disguised as a male soldier named Ping. Queer fans have always claimed Li Shang as one of their own because of his close, loving relationship with both Ping and Mulan, even though Disney has never commented on the Chinese army general's sexuality.
Lonnie is a character in the movie, Descendants, played by Dianne Doan. She is the daughter of Fa Mulan and Li Shang From Disney's Mulan who enjoys martial arts and hip-hop dancing.

How old is Shang Lee? It said that he was at a young age when he was captain. He looks about 23 at the beginning (when he first came out becoming captain).
Li Shang Jr., better known as Li'l Shang, is the son of Fa Mulan and Li Shang and the older brother of Lonnie. He appears in Rise of the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel.
The new film's director explained that a new cast of comrades for the film's protagonist felt more realistic. Mushu may have also been removed due to criticism of the 1998 animated film's portrayal of the talking dragon, according to the film's producer.
Snow White is only 14 years old, making her the youngest. Jasmine, who is supposed to be 15, is the second youngest. Cinderella and Tiana are the oldest, both 19 years old.
Pocahontas is the prettiest princess in Disney. Her dark complexion, long black hair, goddess-like figure, and irresistible dark brown eyes truly depict natural beauty.

Many fans wondered why Anna wasn't made a Disney Princess, considering she fits the bill: she's human, comes from royalty, is heroic, and even has an animal sidekick in Sven. However, Frozen 2 turned her into the queen after Elsa abdicated, so perhaps the studio always knew Anna wouldn't be a princess for long.
The easiest answer for why the Frozen women don't count is simply that Elsa is a queen in the first movie, and gives up her crown for Anna to take over in Frozen 2. They are therefore Queens and not Princesses.
