The questionnaires are distributed to Chinese students who experienced Disney Mulan film and the movie of Chinese Mulan drama. The researchers in this study applied purposive sampling and Convenience sampling to be the second and third step respectively. Through comparison and analysis of Chinese Mulan drama and the American movie The Mulan, the reseacher intends to compare the Chinese and American culture from Hofstede’s (1991) four cultural dimensions: individualism/collectivism (I/C), masculinity/femininity (M/F), and power distance (PD) and the uncertainty avoidance (UA). In the research, Chinese audience who watched the Disney version of Mulan film are more likely to demonstrate stronger cultural orientation in individualism, masculinity, low power distance, and in low uncertainty avoidance. Chinese audience who watched the Chinese version of Mulan film are more likely to demonstrate stronger cultural orientation in collectivism, femininity, high power distance, and in high uncertainty avoidance.
