    This document discusses Disney's cultural appropriation in three films: Mulan, The Lion King, and The Princess and the Frog.

Mulan drew from oriental music and samurai culture, while The Lion King featured African influences. The Princess and the Frog was set in New Orleans' jazz era and featured Disney's first Black princess. The document examines the box office revenues for each film and their popularity over time.
