Summary: Vastly disappointing
Review: This could have been so good ... and it's nothing at all. I gave up on it after thirty minutes, tired of the stereotyping (Mulan at the camp and the whole Be a Man song), the horrible attempts at comedy (Eddie Murphy should not have been in this movie), and the lackluster score. Reflection was an all-right song, but not memorable nor something I want to hear again. The animation is stunning, but eye-candy can't replace characterization and plot.

Summary: One of Disney's Best
Review: Disney's Mulan tells the story of Fa Mulan (Ming Na Wen from the live action Street Fighter), a young Chinese woman who cannot bear the thought of her lame father going off to fight Huns, and so she impersonates Fa Zu's non-existent son, Ping. The film opens with a breathtaking view of China's Great Wall, built especially to keep the Huns at bay, but the builders never foresaw the development of the grappling hook. It is here me meet Shan Yu, the Hun leader, and like a lot of Disney villains, he is frighteningly competent and evil. And when he faces down a frightened Imperial soldier who has managed to light a signal fire that alerts positions up and down the wall then defiantly states, "...now all of China knows you are coming!" Shan Yu is delighted! As the Huns approach, Mulan is being paraded before the matchmaker-the woman who will find a husband for her. Mulan's eagerness to succeed turns to disaster and she humiliates her father, then again when the Imperial Army arrives looking for conscripts, she demands that her father has already served. Her father proudly exclaims that he will serve much to Mulan's grief-the scene is one of the most memorable in the film. That night she sneaks out of her room and dawns her Fa Zu's armor before cutting her hair. Stealing away into the night, she exchanges the conscript notice with her hair comb then rides off to join the Imperial Army. Mulan as Ping begins to suffer, mostly because of the advice of Mushu (Eddie Murphy) -a little red dragon and former temple guardian of the family shrine. She desperately tries to fit in with the burly bunch of recruits and "be a man" under the watchful eye of Captain Li Shang-who believes that 'Ping' is "unsuited for the rage of war.", which forces Mulan to try even harder and in the process convinces her fellow recruits to succeed until they complete basic training. Two of the more memorable scenes include the discovery of the devastated village and the body of Li Shang's father-a memorable moment on a knoll where Captain Shang mounts his father's helmet atop his sword. The second is the spectacular battle sequence on a snowy mountain top. The CGI sequence of thousands of Huns storming over the rise on horse back has the same awesome feel as the stampeding wildebeests in Lion King. Mulan scores big with us older folks and must admit my own ignorance in this, because I have never read the original story and so do not know what Disney has changed it. The songs, most notably "I'll Make a Man out of You" and "True to Your Heart" are upbeat and fun. The animation is excellent while the character art takes a little getting used to, similarly as the art in Hercules. The signature CGI are pieces are subtle and as the technology improves are meshed even more seamlessly with the traditional animation methods. The voice acting is up to the usual Disney standards and I only wish that those companies producing English translations for Japanese anime would take a cue from Disney and hire real actors to do character voices. Of course, that doesn't mean I forgive Disney for getting Phil Hartman to do the voice of Jiji the cat in Kiki's Delivery Service.

Summary: A superior Disney effort...
Review: Disney's Mulan is a solid, well-crafted film. The animation is engaging; the new crew created a unique style and some truly breathstealing cinematic sequences (The horde of Huns rivals the wildebeest stampede from Lion King). However, the Disney musical format doesn't quite fly in Mulan. The numbers don't contribute anything to the otherwise epic Eastern feel of the film (the best song is sung by... Donny Osmond?). On the other hand, I had expected to be thoroughly annoyed by Disney's penchant for cutesy sidekicks, but found myself instead pleasantly amused and entertained by Eddie Murphy's dragon character and his cricket chum. Beyond these small quibbles, what makes Mulan a "purchase" film for me, is the strength of the characters and the story told through them. Aside from Belle, Mulan is the only Disney heroine to fully hold her own without dependence on a "Prince Charming". Courage is the mainstay of all the protagonists in Mulan. And the Hun villain was impressively wicked. It's refreshing to see a Disney film drawn from a source largely unfamiliar to Western viewers, and aside from the minor gripe about the music, I highly recommend it.

Summary: a good display of chinese teaching
Review: watching Mulan give me a suspicious feeling if the American can ever handle the charactor depict one of China hero.After watching Mulan,I was wrong and all suspicious were gone.not only had the American had done a good job of making a beautiful and educational cartoon.They had also bring the chinese legend to life to the world.and had given the world a whole new view of China.I think that disney had completely heading a new direction.gone are the days when one can only see the female charactor been a weak and sorrowful depenable cast.we had see a whole new disney in a complete new direction and refreshing way.Mulan is a cartoon to be watch.highly recommneded.

Summary: one of Disney's best...!
Review: Mulan is personally one of my favorite Disney animated films. From what I understand, the majority of this film was created at the Walt Disney World animation studio. Those boys in Florida sure know what they're doing! Everything clicks with this film! The animation is (of course) second to none, the characters have more than one dimension to them, humor is injected at the all the right moments (Mushu is priceless!) & the musical numbers as well as Jerry Goldsmith's score are all excellent! Buy this title...if you're a fan of Disney animation, you won't be disappointed!

Summary: All little girls should see this
Review: In the Disney world, where so many of the female heroines look like Barbie, and brains and courage aren't stressed as much as cute animals helping her get the cute prince, I was thrilled to see an everyday girl, who loves her family more than herself, and thinks of more than catching a prince. This movie has wonderful messages, especially for girls and women, about honor, and doing the right thing because it's the right thing. If only all Disney movies took these values to heart.

Review: ... and over again with my four year old. I still enjoy it every time I see it! The smarts and courage of this young woman make for a truly enjoyable experience. Even though the songs are not that catchy, this film is among the greatest children's movies.
