Did anyone else notice something about Mulan's face?


At the beginning of the movie, Mulan's face is round, but after she puts on her father's armor, it is no longer round. Is there any logical explanation for this?

Her hair was pulled tight, pulling up the loose skin around the cheeks.

I don't know - she's a cartoon character. It was probably done so that she would look more masculine to the audience.

Well, it was a conscious choice by the animators. They wanted to make her look more angular when she was disguised as a man. But that`s the beauty of animation, to be able to cheat like that.
