Solid entertainment from a new group of Disney animators. The story source is a Chinese fable about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to help her family and her country. When the Huns attack China, a call to arms goes out to every village, and Mulan's father, being the only man in the family, accepts the call. Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen, sung by Lea Salonga) has just made a disastrous appearance at the Matchmaker and decides to challenge society's expectations (being a bride). She steals her father's conscription notice, cuts her hair, and impersonates a man to join the army. She goes to boot camp, learning to fit in with the other soldiers with some help from her sidekick, Mushu, a wise-cracking dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy). She trains, and soon faces the Huns eye-to-eye to protect her Emperor. The film is gorgeous to look at, with a superior blend of classic and computer-generated animation. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook make the best of it: a battle in the snowy mountains is as thrilling as the best Hollywood action films. The menacing Huns are not cute but simple and bad. The wickedness is subtle, not disturbing. The film is not a full-fledged musical, as it has only five songs (the best, "Be a Man," is sung during boot camp). Eddie Murphy is an inspired choice for the comic-relief dragon, but his lines are not as clever as Robin Williams's in Aladdin. These are minor quibbles, though. The story is strong, and Mulan goes right to the top of Disney animated heroines; she has the right stuff. --Doug Thomas

 A classic August 22, 2010
Jim Lively (Douglas, Arizona)
My 8 year-old loves it and I enjoyed it thoroughly as I watched it with her. She wore out her first copy and this is probably going to get an equal amount of use.
Mulan August 9, 2010
I liked this movie pretty well, although a lot is sadness. :( and they pray to thier ancestors even though that's not true. but Mushu (little dragon) says some funny things. and mulan has a couple funny lines too. it's a pretty good movie, besides all the stuff about praying to thier ancestors.

Finally - No Prince Necessary August 3, 2010

Finally! A Disney movie I'll buy for my girls because it doesn't program them that women must find a man to make their lives complete. Mulan is a strong female character, and I appreciate that the movie introduces them to a tiny bit of traditional Chinese culture.
Amazing Movie, Awesome Special Features July 24, 2010
AmazonUser
I was so happy when this came in the mail. Not only is the story of Mulan heartwarming, courageous, and inspiring, the style of animation and the legend behind the movie is gorgeous as well. In addition, the special features and "Behind the Scenes" info given out made me love the movie even more. What I liked best was seeing all of the concept art that was drawn before deciding on the permanent character designs was chosen. I'd recommend this to any Disney fan.
