I am Chinese and watched the Chinese-dubbed version. Mushu is dubbed by a very famous artist, Chen Pei Si. Later on I watched the original version and in my opinoin, Chinese version is better(no offense).

I think animators sometimes make characters to look similar to their voice actors. Or at least have distinct features like this smirk right there.

Most of the cartoons actually look like the voice actors. It's like the artists were giving a hint.
Daria B 9 years ago
Actually it was confirmed (even advertised, kinda) that some of the similarities are made on purpose. Looks like they set the casting and all in advance, so the artists know, and possibly they're given the task to make them look alike.
