Ming-Na Wen provided the voice for the animated version of Mulan.

NETFLIX corrected its oversight when it didn't give credit to the Asian Americans who provided voices to the animated version of Mulan, including Ming-Na Wen, who gave the voice to the lead character.

A day after Ming-Na Wen called on Mulan fans to complain to Netflix for its mistake, the streaming service responded with this:

The gross mistake was first noticed by Twitter user Dave Sanchez, or @kroqkom, after watching the Disney classic on Netflix.

Netflix only gave voice credit to Miguel Ferrer (Shan-Yu), Harvey Fierstein (Yao) and June Foray (Grandmother Fa) as the main cast in its summary of the film. Sanchez tweeted out a screen capture of Netflix's summary  demanded the streaming service give credit to the leading actress of the film. 

Ming-Na Wen saw his Tweet and noted that BD Wong, who voiced Mulan's love interest, was also not credited. In fact, the streaming service failed to credit any actor of color. She urged fans of the 1998 film to complain to Netflix.

Now if you click on Mulan on Netflix Ming Na We  it has corrected its oversight and more. It credits the film's main cast Ming-Na Wen, BD Wong and Eddie Murphy, who gave voice to Mushu the dragon. Netflix also gave credit to George Takei, even though he voiced a minor character First Ancestor.

Ming-Na Wen can be seen on her regular gig on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as bad-ass Melinda May.  The Marvel series' 6th season will premiere this summer and has already been approved for its 7th season.
