Mulan the Best Big Sister Ever

Mulan is the older sister who is clumsy, not necessarily pretty, and quite overshadowed by her little sister who is both graceful and beautiful. She used to tease her little sister for claiming a mythological spider was hunting her, but that was before it caught her. With her little sister's life depending on her and the magical healer rabbit in the moon finding the herbs needed for an antidote, Mulan realizes her clumsiness makes her quite good with a sword. Facing a Chinese mythical fox and her servant, Mulan may have the chance to save more than just her little sister and may find her worth herself in the bargain.
