Summary: Cheap Imitation
Review: Apparently, the only money spent on this production was todisguise it as the Disney title. The DTS sound does little to redeemthe weak story line and animation. Most television cartoons made ten years ago have better animation.

Summary: TERRIBLE movie! This is not the "MULAN" movie from Disney!
Review: Despite the fact that the soundtrack of this movie is in DTS, nothing is GOOD to say about this movie. The animation is so primitive that none of my three kids (ages 2, 7, and 10) likes it. It was my mistake to buy this movie since I thought this was the wonderful "MULAN" movie from Disney.

Review: First of all-be warned, NOT the Disney version for kids. Dark, violent, typical Japanese amination, and a wandering storyline that ultimately had me up and--of all things--vacuuming halfway through it. I kept trying to return, but each time I reached the same conclusion--BAD. Bad, bad, bad.

Summary: Really Bad....
Review: I strongly recommend renting this video before purchasing. Mostly, because it is quite simply, awful. I've always been a big fan of Animation, but this video was sub direct-to-video quality. In this film the plot is butchered to include, (amongst other things), a talking panda, a dragon and an evil skull-uniform-wearing general complete with underground fort, a legion of badies in skull ying/yang armor, and an American bald eagle (!)The good: The only (somewhat) well-designed character was Mulan and her Grandfather. There is a somewhat decent message at the beginning about not judging people by their appearance/color of skin, which I felt was appropriate. The bad: It's too bad the animators didn't take the movie's message to heart when they chose to draw most of the Chinese in an ugly, stereotyped and exaggerated way. The art had me cringing! And if the good guys were ugly, the 'evil' villains, looking more like trolls than people. Also, the voice acting was terrible. Mulan sounded like a cranky teenager reading her lines completely deadpan. The rest of the Chinese sounded like they were voiced by one guy, with a Brittish accent! Overall, while I expected to find this movie MILDLY entertaining, instead it was dime-store anime at its worst. Watch at your own risk.

Review: No, this is not the Disney version starring Eddie Murphy as a hip, street-talking little dragon thing. This is the original Japanese version of the film that Disney bought the rights to. Please note that most anime is not intended for a young audience. There is cursing, violence, and blood shed. However, it is an excellent movie and has a very engrossing plot and detailed characters. The Disney version has nothing on the original's story.

Review: This ain't the original version. Neither is that Disney thing. Both videos are pretty poor retellings of a centuries-old poem. If you want the original version, go to the book section of this site and look for the poetry collections _The Flowering Plum and the Palace Lady_, or stick "Ballad of Mulan" into a search engine.

Review: This is a WONDERFUL film. It far surpasses the Disney version. The animation is terrific, the dialogue is sharp and insightful, and the plot is spellbinding. The artistry in this film is on par with such cinematic masterpieces as "The Godfather" or "Gone With The Wind." I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this DVD!
