1. Introduction

With the rapid development of science and technology, the distance between people around the world tends to become closer and closer. As is known to all, the world is becoming smaller and smaller and the global village is forming. Meanwhile, the exchanges of different cultures have been strengthened. However, due to different cultural background and values, people from different cultural groups may be confronted with cultural misunderstandings when they communicate with each other. Thus, it is necessary to step up cultural exchanges for people all over the world. There are many kinds of cultural carriers to promote intercultural communications. As one of carriers of culture, film plays a very crucial role in intercultural communication. Lots of people are inclined to learn other cultures and values via films. To strength cultural exchanges, more and more movie directors tend to produce intercultural films to show how two distinguishing cultures interact with each other. The Disney cartoon Mulan (1998) is a typical example of interacting between Chinese culture and American culture. Although it won a success in box-office, this film only borrowed some Chinese elements instead of understanding the essence of traditional Chinese values correctly. Ten years later, the film Mulan launched by Chinese director Ma Chucheng shows a traditional character Mulan, which is intended to reveal a correct image of the well-known ancient Chinese heroine.  从电影《花木兰》和迪斯尼动画《Mulan》比较中美文化价值观:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_61653.html
