I just finished listening to Mulan with my younger brothers and sisters and I could not help but think that I would see Bilbo in Mulan's place.
For the challenge, dwarves and hobbits live close. Thus, the dwarves protect the hobbits and the hobbits provide them with food.
I see Bilbo infiltrated the armed to take the place of one of his dwarf friends or to protect his family, who live in one of the villages attacked. For example, Bilbo is considered an adoptive member of the Urs family. At the moment of the war Bilbo decides to take the one of Bifur, because it has recently received an ax in the skull and can not enoler.
Gandalf or Bofur would have the role of Mushu, Thorin that of the captain and Azog or Smaug would be the leader of the invaders orcs.
P.s.: For those interested, I found an old fic, which is a crossover between Mulan and the Hobbit. The title is Marilu's I'll make a dwarf out of you ( /works/1470613/chapters/3099160). This could perhaps encourage other authors to write a fic on it. Moreover, I learned that Dysney wanted to make a realistic film about Mulan, which will be released in 2018. Hopefully, it inspires the authors to make crossover. p
