Chapter 3: The "Mulan" Confusion – Mulan (1998) Disney’s Mulan features Mushu , a small dragon who lives in a teapot (or a similar small ceramic vessel) when he is first awakened by the ancestors. In the film, Mushu is trapped under a wooden lid, but in the Disney Parks attractions and some spin-off comics, he is explicitly shown living in a teapot.
Here lies the confusion. Wish Dragon is a standalone film. There is no "Película 2" officially. However, fans of the movie often demand a sequel due to the open-ended nature of the ending.

Because Mulan is a classic in Spanish-speaking households, the memory of "a dragon in a small container" persists. However, Mulan is not about a teapot; it is about a warrior.
