About this movie

Clever Mulan proves her worth outside of her tradition-bound society when, disguised as male soldier "Ping," she bravely takes her father's place in China's Imperial Army. Helped by her outrageously funny guardian dragon Mushu and a lucky cricket named Cri-Kee, Mulan strives to earn the respect of her fellow warriors and their courageous Captain Shang. Mulan's adventures lead to a climactic battle atop the Imperial Palace, where her family's honor and the fate of the Emperor and all of China rests in her hands.

Ratings and reviews

Based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, brings one of the popular Disney classics, Mulan. The story tells about Fa Mulan, daughter of aged warrior Fa Zhou, impersonates a man to take her father's place to join the Imperial Chinese Army to counter a Hun invasion and their leader Shan Yu. My family, friends, and I love the film a lot everyone grew up with this movie and it's history of a hero.

I love this movie since I can relate to the protagonist, Fa Mulan, who is a good role model. It handles mature themes and subject matter that is appropriate for all ages and it balances comedic and dramatic moments perfectly. The songs are wonderful thanks to the singers and the composer Jerry Goldsmith, especially the song "Mulan's Decision (movie version)." Mulan is the sole embodiment of Disney girl power itself.

One of my favorite Disney movies. "Feminism," is not a popular subject matter, by Disney-the "Princess Fairy Romantic Utopian Scholar." However, with Mulan, Disney made, a brave new expressive portrait, of the female heroine-she, strives to defend her country, to save her father's honor. All too often, a reputation is neglected, and interpersonal relations, lack the necessary familiar sympathies, for family, and friends, and country-respect!
