[MULAN] What if mushu had managed to wake the stone dragon?

in the start of the movie the ancestors send Mushu to wake the Great Stone Dragon, instead, he accidentally destroys the statue. How would the movie change if the stone dragon was her companion instead of Mushu? Follow up question: why didn't he wake?

He didn't awaken most likely because he realized he didn't need to wake up. Mushu was perfect for the job, considering that in the end, Mulan not only redeemed herself, but she saved the entire country AND the emperor himself. He was wise enough to not respond when the ancestors selfishly wanted him. That's the sign of true wisdom and a great protector. Dragons are FAR more wise than any human, no longer how old they are or how long they've been dead.

As for what would have happened? Probably a scene much like an angry father scolding their child. The dragon would have more or less dragged Mulan home, kicking and screaming, and would have dumped her in her home as she wallowed in misery. Then China would have fallen and her entire family might have been killed by the horde as it rampaged through the country.
