Shang's Personality (or lack thereof)
First of all, let me start by saying that I absolutely loved Shang in Mulan. I thought it was about time a Disney heroine fell in love with somebody who actually had a personality.
Which is why Mulan II distressed me so much. I understand that people change when they fall in love, but Shang's sudden personality shift really annoyed me. I mean, go back and watch Mulan and listen to "I'll Make a Man Out of You" and then compare that Shang to the Shang of the sequel. He shifts from being a simpering, love-stricken boy to being just plain mean over and over again.
And the parts where Shang and Mulan look at each other and laugh...it was really uncomfortable. Sort of made me want to look away. Although that may have just been the choppy animation.
I think this movie had great potential, but it sort of...flopped.
