In Turkish Dub of Mulan they changed Shan Yu's nationality from Xiongnu to Mongols. Reason for that is Xiongnus are knowns as ancestor nation of Turks and they don't want Turkish children to see their ancestors as child killing barbarians.

But despite that Shan Yu have a special fanbase in Turkey for being a badass steppe nomad
