It is implied, but animal carcasses are not shown. Huns on war horses are "killed" in the snow. This is not graphic or gory.

In the film a stone dragon is accidentally broken before it could be magically awoken (it is unclear if this means the dragon was killed). Mushu occasionally gets hurt (in slapstick fashion) but he does not die.

Snakes are mentioned but not seen. By virtue of being an Eastern dragon, Mushu has a long, snakelike body, but he still has limbs and the resemblance is not strong.

When Mushu pretends to be the Great Stone Dragon, he falls and a large piece of stone squishes him flat cartoonishly; he shoves it off and emerges fine though. Mushu is squashed again when he first reveals himself to Mulan. The spirit of one of Mulan's ancestors holds and throws around his own decapitated head.

During I'll Make a Man Out of You, someone face smashes a wooden plank and loses multiple teeth.

Mulan has to pass as a man to be able to join the army. There are a few tense and comedic moments to show how she doesn't know the rules of being a man. The most noticeable moments are the lake scene where she tries to bathe alone, but is later on joined by her colleagues where she has to stay underwater to hide her body. Later on, it's in the medical tent where she is exposed. I wouldn't really call it body dysphoria, but understand it might be read as such.

Near the end of the movie, three soldiers accompany Mulan and put on a women's disguise to infiltrate the palace. This is partially played for laughs. However, the belts on their dresses are used to climb the palace in a resourceful manner so it's not entirely just for laughs.

While most of the men are typically misogynistic for the time period, one male character in particular is very bitter and nasty toward women every chance he gets. He straight up claims women are worthless, and makes excuses to defy his emperor's order to install a woman on the council.
