 | I like Eddie Murphy character Mushu the little dragon sunt by Mulan ancesters to protector, he stole the show. Mulan decide to join the Chinese army but she is a girl they only take men so she tries her best to look like a man even disgues her voice. I loved the great special effects when a heard of army men riding their horses coming down the snowy hill just like the Wilderbeast in "The Lion King". I have to say this movie should not have been rated G, it should have been rated PG for a little blood wound on Mulan right side stomach, also my favorite part when Mulan was bathing in the lake they showed Mulan brief nude she even said the word naked, I was blown away with that scean for a disney cartoon, Walt Disney is looking down from heaven and is probley outraged. I'm surpurised their wasn't no conversity back then. |

| There is a strong message for us all when watching Mulan. The main character, Mulan, represents the cluminess in all of us. She tries very hard to please her parents but always seems to come up short from their expectations until the time is right. I know it was like that for me growing up and for alot of people i know. Having seen this many times and enjoy it more as time goes by...if i was on a stranded island and can only have 3 DVD movies with me, this would be one of them. Very good storyline and animation as Disney is knowned for, this is one of their best IMO.
Highly recommended viewing for all ages! |

| I believe that this is one of my favorite Disney movies. Maybe what I like so much is that Mulan is not waiting for her prince to come or any damsel in distress deal, but she is an intelligent woman held down by her society. The story: Mulan's father is old but he is called to war. He will probably die. Mulan decides to take his place. This is remarkably unselfish because if she's discovered she will be killed. This shows how much she loves her dear old dad. You just have to see the movie to appreciate it. The songs are amazing ("I'll make a man out of you" Donny Osmond's voice is fantastic). The extra features were also pretty good. I found "I'll make a man out of you" in all different languages very interesting. The animation is great as it shows a lot of the natural beauty of China. So make sure you don't miss one of Disney's greatest(and probably last judging by the way Disney is going down the drain) animated movies. |

| Pocahontas is my fave Disney movie but this is a close second!!! The animation is stunning and the main character is spunky and brave. Plus general Li Shang is really hot for a cartoon character. I cant wait to see the sequel! |

| This movie is probably the last really good animated feature ever made- although not holding up to the classics such as Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King or the Pixar collaberations. But, this movie holds up the classic Disney tradition of good storytelling, animation, and moving music.
Probably one of the last classicly animated movies. Mulan takes place in China just after the Huns invaded. With the Huns invasion the emperor of China asks one man for each family to serve in the army. Mulan a troubled girl who is trying to find her place in the world while, dealing with the fact that she dosn't fit in. Mulan continually humilates her family who she loves greatly. She feels as though she is a dissappointment-unable to find a husband. Well, when her father is asked to serve in the army Mulan can't stand the thought that she might lose him. She decides to disguise herself as a man and serve for him. When Mulan is discovered missing her dead family ancestors ask the help of Mushu-a wise cracking dragon to guard her. Mulan quickly finds herself having trouble in the army and in constant conflict with the guys. But, eventually becomes acceptted especially by Chang the head of the army. When, Mulan is injured her secret is revealed. Chang spares her life... but, when Mulan sees the Huns heading in the same direction of the army- it's up to her to warn the guys and save China from diaster. Only problem will anyone believe her now???
With such memorable songs as "Reflection", "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", and "True To Your Heart." You'll find yourself singing along with the songs. I love the song "I'll Make A Man Out Of You"- Donny Osmond has the most amazing voice. Les Miserables fans will be pleased that Lea Solgna sings the film version of "Reflection." I LOVE the bonus features such as the music videos especially the one with Jackie Chan(He was the Chinese voice for Chang) singing in Chinese "I'll Make A Man Out Of You." The quality on the DVD is better than the version I saw in theaters.
I love this film and continually watch it over and over again. I especially like Chang in this film. I'll give it 4 stars-it's great but, it's not gonna be a classic such as Beauty & the Beast or the Lion KIng- I think the girls will like this film but, the little guys might not be into this as much. But, this a good movie to rent for family movie night. |
