Summary: Disney has done it again!
Review: For those who haven't seen Mulan, are the ones that are missing out on a great movie! I own the VHS and DVD version, but I must say that I liked the DVD version better. The picture quality deserves 5 stars and the sound quality deserves 4.5 stars. I am a Disney fan and you wouldn't believe how many of the best movies turn out to be Disney animated movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly post-modern animation based on an ancient tale!
Review: I saw this film in the theater with my family and it was truly a stunning combination of today's 3-D computer animation and the beautiful standard animation art typical of Disney. And an original plot as well. It was also a very daring break right out of the usual fairy-tale mold featuring a doe-eyed young princess and into the more "adult" aspects such as the coy scene where Mulan has to keep her unclothed body under the water not to be discovered she's really a girl and being roughly thrown at the feet of an angry general looking ready to kill her on the spot. A very sophisticated piece that would help contribute to the great animation revolution to make this kind of medium more universally appealing to everyone as Japanese anime. And my mother didn't even have to ask me if I like it in the very end. However, the part where Mulan falls right off the cliff on her horse and goes sailing into the air on a paper lantern is a bit impausible, but hey - this old Chinese legend still has quite a bit of fantasy in it as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You are insane if you don't love this movie!
Review: I have to say that out of all the Disney movies, this one will forever be in my heart! Mulan is about as good as it gets folks. If you don't believe me then just ask my 3 year old who wants to watch it atleast 5 times a week! The musical score for this movie outrates The Lion King soundtrack to me, and the dragon's character (voiced by Eddie Murphy) is about as good as I have ever seen on a cartoon! If you are a cartoon lover, then it would be a tragedy for you to pass this one up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mulan Fan
Review: Great movie providing an excellent role model for girls. Disney did an excellent job again. The sound track is great if somewhat limited in variety.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than I had expected.
Review: I was amazed while reading others' reviews of Mulan. I can't believe that people did not like this film! It features a VERY strong and likeable heroine, a hysterical performance by Eddie Murphy as the dragon sidekick, fabulous animation (the army storming over the snow covered mountainside, etc.), and a very funny scene with Mulan and the village's matchmaker. Granted, the film does have some uneven moments, such as the music video techno-scored scene where Mulan decides to dress as a boy. Easily forgivable, however. I was also dumbfounded to read that other reviewers did not like HUNCHBACK! Absolutely flawless animation, orchestral score, etc. Shame on you all! Mulan and Hunchback are two of the best efforts of the latest Disney offerings. Certainly more worthwhile than Hercules and Pocahontas. Both Mulan and Hunchback are definitely worthy of being added to your home video/DVD libraries.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever
Review: I loved the movie.Mulan proves to be the perfect herion. Beautiful background and the computer graphix, the story proved that you can do anything if you try.and Mulan is a perfect model for kids grownups and yes even Teens. But hey don't take my advice. I suggest that you see this inspirational movie and judge it for yourselves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This is by far, the Very Best of Disney! Mulan will be long remembered after the Lion King, and Beauty and The Beast, have been laid to rest!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Disappointed!
Review: Mulan is a very disappointing movie.

It's heroine, though more stronger than past Disney leading ladies, lacks the magic and appeal of Ariel and Belle. The comic relief is way over-the-head, and the ending is not very romantic. The only gem is Jerry Goldsmith's epic score, it makes Alan Menken's music look like amatuer's night.

Overall, I declared "Mulan" with "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Hercules" as one of the worst of the "new-school" Disney classics.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD hardly worth the extra $$
Review: I love Mulan but it is not worth paying the extra cost for this DVD just because it is Disney. There are NO extra features except trailers and music videos! We do get it in Widscreen but that is it! How disapointing that Disney feels they can charge 10 or more dollars extra just for the priviledge of owning this on DVD. It feels like they are punnishing us for not buying the video! How sad. I would not buy the DVD and complain to Disney about their sneaky tactics! I am a huge Disney fan and can say this!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good comeback animated movie for Disney
Review: After a series of mediocre animated movies (Pocahontas, Hunchback, Hercules), Disney has reassured the world they still do have the "magic" to produce animated titles for all ages.

Unforutunately, Disney has also reassured (me at least) they are just as greedy as ever. If Bug's Life is any indication, expect to see an "Special Edition" of Mulan to show up some months later. You see, Disney in their infinite wisdom decided 16:9 anamorphic transfers were "too advanced" for American (Region1) audiences. Thus, while Bugs Life DVD and Mulan DVD contain both "widescreen" and "fullscreen" versions, the widescreen version is letterboxed! (Bugs Life region2 is anamorphic, not letterboxed.)

*SIGH* oh well, at least Disney's Tarzan DVD (region1) will ship in anamorphic form.
