Transcript of Featured Review

Check it out it's Mulan; Disney's masterpiece Mulan. Mulan is probably my favorite Disney movie. Why? Because I am half-Chinese. Mulan was a young Chinese girl raised in the Hun Dynasty. When the Huns took over well tried to take over China and the Chinese had to defend their country and Mulan wants to help this cause but women weren't allowed to fight and women were expected to stay home have pale skin and bound feet and do nothing but typical womanly duties such as cooking cleaning etc. But as you can see as Mulan wasn't very crazy about this idea and wanted to protect her family. In the beginning I mean obviously I'm not going to tell the story but it's a great tale of family honor and sort of breaking through gender barriers and proving one's self in the face of opposition. So check it out. I think this is the greatest movie ever made. Check it out. It's Disney's Mulan.

Summary

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
