Summary: I hated this movie.
Review: I've read many plays about Mulan. I've read many ballads of Mulan. I've saw many movies about Mulan. But, what Disney did here is an outrage. Mulan was never a victim of misogyny. In the real story of Mulan, the men who found out that she was a woman, weren't angry. On the contrary, they were pleased! Because they've underestimated what women can do. In fact, if you go through many Chinese stories and fairy tales, you'll found out that there are many female warriors and female protagonists who did not hate their own culture (let alone think it was misogynistic). Does that seem like China (or Chinese men) is misogynistic toward females? The view that Asian males are misogynistic is a stereotype. Yet, Disney played on this. For instance, in the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For," you have the following lyrics: "I couldn't care less what she'll wear, or what she looks like! It all depends on what she cooks like!" There is nothing in Chinese literature where a women's worth is measured by her husband's belch. Then we have the character Chi Fu say, "She's a woman. She'll never be worth anything!" All lies. Where in Chinese literature do you have that saying? First, women's worth are measured by how well they cook, then they aren't worth anything! Can Disney make up their minds about their own lies?! The real Mulan is an example for females and males alike. For instance, Chinese used the real Mulan story to motivate people to fight imperialism. The Disney executives should be ashamed of themselves. They've ruined my culture and people are buying into their lies. The movie is not structurally good, nor were the songs entertaining. This fake Mulan story was short, annoying, and insulting.

Summary: It may be too late to get your copy, but read on
Review: A great Disney film with everything you expect from animation. I especially like the dual wide-screen/full-screen feature which lets you choose how to view the film. This is a must for any Disney collection if not any DVD collection.

Summary: Best cartoon movie better than Beauty and the Beast
Review: This is an epic tale of a girl named Mulan who inslists herself as a male in the Chinese army to fight the Mongolians who are invading from the North. Her father cannot fight, so instead of dishonoring the family name, Mulan takes her father's armor and sword. This is the best Disney movie that I have ever seen. The story is good and it has Eddie Murphy as a tiny dragon so there is a bit of humor in it. This is a 5 star movie for everyone in the family. A must have in your movie collection.

Summary: Disney formula with no subtlety
Review: Everything about this movie smacks of Disney formula. Eddie Murphy as the wisecracking sidekick dragon is enjoyable. Mulan is likeable. All the other characters are one-dimensional, straight out of the stockroom.The "be a girl" and "honor" themes are introduced as ham-handedly as possible. After that, it gets down to the business of unfolding the inevitable plot. Sometimes it is comforting to know that there are no shocks ahead. It's a pleasant, straightforward story, but has nothing to really make it stand out in your memory.

Summary: Top Disney Animation
Review: This Disney animated movie was sooooo good it was probably my favorite Disney animated movie of the 90's. It was hilarious. Like remember that scene where Mushu was feeding Mulan and says,"We need to get ready to kick some butt" Then Mulan says, "But I don't wanna kick some butt". And that other scene where she was at the matchmaker's house, and oh,boy you have to see that hilarous part. I saw one review here where they said it seemed a bit unneccessary with the romance. Well, at the earlier failed matchmaker scene, I personally thought it was very approitate. But that's just me... It had action too and you have to admit that it was pretty darn clever to have Mulan fire a blaster at the mountain causing an avalanche on the soldiers. Also, the songs are good, like that "When Will My Reflection Show?" Eddie Murphy is hialrous as the voice of Mushu. He later showed more good animation voicing as the voice of the donkey in "Shrek." The only compiter I think for this as the best Disney movie of the last 6 years or so, is "Atlantis: The Lost Empire".

Summary: Lots of good stuff in here
Review: I enjoyed this film and really enjoyed Eddie Murphy as a voice over. In fact, after this and then watching him play a donkey in Shrek, I think he has found his niche and should avoid doing any more bad movies.
Mulan has a moral story to tell to, and all in all I think it does a good job without letting the points get in the way of the story and dialogue which is way to easy to do. The animation is wonderful as to be expected and the story flows well.
The only part lacking may be the romance part, it was predictable of course this being a kids movie, but came across a bit forced. Perhaps leaving it out would have been a better choice, Mulan could have been just a hero, she didn't need to be a hero that gets her man in the end. Never the less, it is a solid offering and a good recommendation.

Summary: Mulan Gold Collection DVD
Review: "Mulan" is one of the strongest entries by Disney in the late 90's. Aside from fantastic animation, what really makes this movie so great is it's intense epic-like unfolding (which should attract adults), with the Disney comedic angle (Mushu, the Dragon) to attract the kids. Disney's 36th Animated release, also offers a strong message that I really don't think any of their films have had since Pinocchio. A child, whether being a wooden-boy or in this case a teenaged girl, can have courage and be unselfish when it comes to helping or protecting their family. The DVD edition has a great picture presentation, and the Surround Sound is very effective. Especially during the stampede, which seemed to come out of "The Lion King".

Summary: Women Rule
Review: A woman can do what an army of men couldn't. Mulan is a great film to demonstrate a woman's ability to overcome cultural stereotypye of inferiority.
