Rating: Summary: The Best Review: Simply put, this is one of the best movies ever made, animated or unanimated, Disney or otherwise.The characters are perfect. Every character has a distinct, memorable personality, and the Mulan-Mushu-Crickee combination was just perfect. The plot is excellent. The storyline was detailed and memorable. The sound and music are beautifully done. A few reviews said that the music was only average, I have no idea why. The tunes from this movie were stuck in my head for weeks (not a bad thing) The animation is excellent. Just watch the battle where the Huns charge down the slope. Possibly the best looking scene from any animated movie. Forget the notion that disney movies are for kids. I'm 17 years old, I loved this movie, and a lot of my friends that are about the same age loved it too. (Some scenes in this movie might actually not be for kids, like the scenes with the Huns, and the somewhat violent battles.)
Rating: Summary: good movie Review: Disney needs to keep on making movies that are this enteraining
Rating: Summary: A disappointment Review: Perhaps I'm being harsh to award this only a single star when it's clear that this is another of my little errors, but this falls so wide of the Moulin Rouge mark that I was hoping for that I feel honour bound. A tip: to anyone looking for something other than an animated film, about someone called Mulan, steer well clear. I know I will in future.
Rating: Summary: Vintage Disney Review: Another fine animated triumph from the Walt Disney Co., "Mulan" follows the struggle of a young girl during her country's time of war. Determined to fight on her family's behalf, Mulan pretends to be a man and uses her brain to fight warriors much bigger than herself. Along the way, she's accompanied by a crazy dragon named Mushu (voiced by Eddie Murphy). Murphy does a great job, very close to as good as Robin Williams in "Alladin". In addition, the usual love story is woven into this tale, complimented by a sound track that includes Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, and 98 Degrees. A good movie.
Rating: Summary: great! Review: when this movie came out, it was so refreshing to see a positive asian role model. yes, there were definitely some stereotypes, but overall, it was nice to see such a strong female character who wasn't just waiting for her prince to come.
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: You've seen them all. Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. They all have hipsy-sdipsy girls who drop hankerchifs and want the princes to pick them up. However Mulan creates Avalanches, Fights an extremley dangerous army leader on a roof top and defeats him and defeats half of the hun army. I'd like to see Cinderella do that. The characters are also great. Mushu the tiny red dragon (who is voiced by Eddie Murphy) is hilarious. Shan Yu and the Hun army are perfect villains for the movie and the ancestors are funny. I always crack up when I see what happens with the Matchmaker.
Rating: Summary: Disney Does It Again! Review: I straight out loved this movie. Mulan isn't the typical Disney sit-around-and-wait-for-fairy-godmother kinda girl. She's strong, independent, and not afraid to stand up for herself. With Eddie Murphy playing Mushu, there's some great laughs. The ancestors also crack me up. Even though I hate to admit this, some scenes with Mulan and the captain (sorry, brain freeze), made me blush! They were so adorably nervous together....Gawd, I love Disney.
Rating: Summary: a great film for all Review: THis film has it all. And in particular the plot and story are wonderfully told. It may be overlooked by some but that would be shame, this is one for adults and children to enjoy. And the relationship between father and daughter is particularly poignant. A great gift for a father to give his daughter. I loved this film and have watched with my daughter over and over again....One of my all time disney favorites. and I have seen them all...
Rating: Summary: I LOVE MULAN! Review: This is a great movie, though I wouldn't recommend showing it to small children due to some violent battle scenes. Mulan is the beautiful young Chinese girl that has a kind of tomboyish way of thinking, way after her time. After having a terrible time at the Matchmaker, she learns that her father, being the only man of the house, is being called off to war. She knows that he is not in fighting health, and that he would surely get hurt in battle. In order to save her father, she cuts her hair and pretends to be a man and goes off to war in his place, posing as a little known son. After going through a rigorous training course, led by the lovable male figure of the movie, she is ready for battle accompanied by Crick-Kee, Mushu the dragon, and her horse. Mulan encounters some face to face combat with the Huns, and eventually is injured. She heals, but the injury revealed her true gender. She is sent home with a strict warning, but overhears a plan of attack on the emperor by the Huns. She rushes to the palace to warn the army, but because of her history, she is not believed. When the Huns arrive, she pulls together the army and engages in a swordfight with the leader of the Huns. After a close escape, she defeats the Hun leader, and watches in amazment as the emperor presents her to the crowd and she sees everywhere, the people of China bowing down in respect to her. She is awarded the position of Emperor's advisor, and the respect and trust of everyone. This movie has some great music, the best by far being "I'll Make a Man Out of You". It also has some great humor, thanks to Mushu, voiced by Eddie Murphy. This is one of the best Disney movies that you can get and really has a good lesson to it. You should definitly buy this movie. It's historically accurate, too!
Rating: Summary: not the best disney film but definately the best villian Review: shan yu was the highlight of the movie for me. the scary yellow eyes, the deceptive bird on his shoulder, the hun army, (finally theres henchmen that dont act like dorks. a first in a disney flick.) perhaps the best since scar fron the lion king. i believe this was the last great traditional animated film from disney. then they took a nose dive afterwards. i go to art college and study animation. this film and its villians are one of my inspirations.
