Great movie. One of Disneys best films.


It's also a wonderful pro feminist film and heartfelt with a girl stepping in the shoes of her father to take his place in the army to defend her country. Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies growing up next to Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast and Lion King.

You guys should check out the marathon I did with Mulan. It's titled When A Girl Fights For Acceptance. You can check it out here on my blog.

I agree. It's one of Disney's best between the characters, the artistic direction, the sense of culture and atmosphere, as well as the overall message.

I'm a guy but I gotta say this movie is pure girl power. :)

I was between eleven/twelve when Mulan came out and my parents took me to the theater to see it and I was so enchanted with Mulan because she was tough and brave like I was and after my parents took me to the theater my mom went in to Target and bought me the Matchmaker Magic Mulan doll which I still have and I even dressed up as Mulan in a homemade costume which proved how much Mulan obsessed I was. In fact when I had a bad surgery I really connected with Mulan because she was really brave about her bad injury just like I was but she managed it like a pro. I also liked the opening scene when Mulan is sitting in bed eating a bowl of rice because she could do things while eating at the same time. This scene is probably where I learned how to eat in my room and is such a cool scene. Was I surprised that Mulan would be a hit movie? I think it was because I didn't know that the real Mulan story existed and I had never heard the story of the real Mulan before. I think Mulan will become the popular Disney Princess again with the release of the live action version coming next month because I strongly feel that Mulan is a good role model for girls to look up to because of her toughness and bravery
