Editorial Review: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

I loved it.
And this is saying something, because my ancestors were Huns. :)
Mulan is a lovely character, the voice actors (Donny Osmond singing, Eddie Murphy speaking) do some of their best work ever. While I couldn't call it faithful to Asian traditions, they do try to observe some, such as the family name coming first in an introduction, "I'm looking for Fa Mulan."
This is my favorite Disney movie.

My first exposure to this tale of Ancient China's girl warrior was from viewing a doll of the character featured on the Home Shopping Network sometime in the early 90s.
Little did I realize how much publicity there would soon be in the Western World for China's legendary forerunner to France's Jeanne D'Arc within just a few years!
The Disney animators have done a fine job of capturing the Chinese flavor of the story, and basing the layout on Ancient Chinese watercolor pictures. ... Read More

Based upon traditional Chinese folklore (try this take on it for a solid introduction by a noted reteller Fa Mulan: The Story of a Woman Warrior), these two movies tell the story of Fa Mulan (Ming-Na Wen), a young girl living in China in the 3rd Century BC. In the first of the two movies we learn that, as the only child of a considerable landowner, Fa Zhou (Soon-Tek Oh), who was lamed in war some years earlier, Mulan has, somewhat of necessity, grown up something of a tomboy, dressing in trousers, ...

This is a great animated film. The story is empowering to little girls and the music and voices are great.
