Since the birth of Disney films,the subject of“otherness”represented in Disney films has been scarcely touched by the scholars.For these decades,the Disney films are invariably received as a purified and exorcized form of art which perpetuates and validates universal values and truths that transcend time and space.However,we can perceive the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy in them.This thesis intends to explore how the western ethnocentrism is related to Disney representation of Otherness by choosing one typical film“Mulan”.Structurally,the article is divided into 3 parts.The first part introduces the concept of“otherness”and tries to decode the“otherness”in orient.The second part gives us a general view of the Disney’s producing formula.The third part analyses the rewritten“otherness”identity of Mulan in Disney film.Thus the identity of the native culture has been rewritten.
