Description:

This set of four vintage collectible phone cards was issued as part of a Nestlé promotion celebrating Disney's animated film *Mulan*. Each card highlights iconic characters from the beloved 1998 movie. They feature distinct background colors and showcase vibrant, full-color illustrations of key characters rendered in the classic Disney cartoon style. The Nestlé “Celebrates Disney’s Mulan” logo is prominently displayed on each card, along with text indicating a 10-minute calling value. With an expiration date of May 31, 1999, these cards serve as nostalgic memorabilia from the late 1990s era of phone cards and Disney merchandise.

The first card centers on Mushu, the small but fiery and humorous red dragon who acts as Mulan’s guardian and sidekick throughout her journey. Mushu’s design is playful and animated, with wide, expressive eyes, a toothy grin, and an energetic pose that captures his mischievous personality. His long, serpentine body and bright orange-red scales stand out against a pale bluish-green background, emphasizing his vibrant character. The name “Mushu” is subtly printed near the bottom, anchoring the card in the context of the film’s characters.

Two cards focus directly on Mulan, depicting her in two contrasting portrayals from the movie. One shows her in traditional feminine attire, featuring a carefully styled black bun adorned with an ornamental flower, elegant earrings, and a refined pink and purple dress—highlighting her grace and dual identity within her cultural setting. The other portrays Mulan in her warrior armor, confidently posed with Mushu perched on her forearm and a sword sheathed at her side. Her green and black uniform and determined expression symbolize her courageous transformation from dutiful daughter to heroic soldier. Both images emphasize Mulan’s complexity and strength, reflecting the film’s themes of honor, bravery, and self-discovery.

The final card features Captain Li Shang, the charismatic and disciplined leader of the army unit Mulan joins. Dressed in traditional armor with his signature red scarf tied around his neck, Shang is shown gripping a bamboo staff, embodying strength, leadership, and military skill. His confident gaze and stern expression reinforce his central role as both mentor and love interest. The background color is a muted gray-green, contrasting with his sharply drawn design and adding a serious tone to his depiction. Together, these four cards form a charming and collectible tribute to the enduring characters and artistry of Disney’s *Mulan*.
