ROTK influenced by Mulan?

[Arwen Melian]

I know it sounds crazy, but was it a coincidence, or was the movie really influenced by the Disney movie Mulan?<P>-Eowyn dressed as a man-<BR>Well that is merely a coincidence because the books came out before Mulan.<P>-The lighting of the beacons-<BR>It sounds like the scene on the Great Wall with the huns, and soldiers lighting the beacons to alert China of there presence.<P>-Lastly, the hobbits bowing to Aragorn, the he in turn bowing to them.Then the crowd bows.<BR>This is reminiscent of Mulan bowing to the emporor, and then he along with the citicens of the Imperial city bow her in return. Stange. And yes I am a book fan. Although I was slightly dissapointed with the scenes they left, out I foragve PJ this time. I can't think of any movie that made me cry as much as this.I will right more when I have time.<BR> Namarie.
