three produced primarily at the animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in
Orlando, Florida. It was directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook, with
the story by Robert D. San Souci and Rita Hsiao, among others. The film
was part of the Disney Renaissance that began in 1989. Mulan Box Office Mulan's opening weekend box office figures were $22.8 million, placing it as the second highest grossing movie that week to The X-Files. It went on to make $120 million domestically and $304 million worldwide, placing it the second highest family film of the year, behind A Bug's Life, and the 7th highest of the year overall. However, these figures were criticized as being a significant decrease from former Disney films, and this was considered a sign of the decreasing popularity of cartoon animation.
