    It seems as if all of the new animation competition has lit a fire under Disney's collective ass and they have something to prove again.

    The folks at Disney prove that clothes -- and little else -- make a man, and do so with extraordinary style.

    Mulan, like all the characters in this movie, is a cookie-cutter American prototype, lazily ripped off from the Disney boilerplate that fashioned Pocahontas et al.

  1. Mulan is simply stunning. I love how the makers of this movie has decided to set this in China and lets viewers subtly experience some characteristics and cultures of the Chinese people. Other than that, it provides fantastic themes, like family, self-sacrifice, bravery etc. Brilliant, always a great family classic. Expand
  2. Disney's "Mulan" simply represents two things; first, its one of the original Disney princess animations, and second, its a superb masterpiece in the world of cinema and animation alike. Expand
  3. A great, comedic, daring film with an amazing original song and original score make this film easily one of Disney's most original pieces of art. And boy is it very entertaining. I give this film a 85% of a good movie. Expand
  4. I had high expectations for this film since Disney usually makes superb films. But this film didn't sit quite right. I pretty much liked the the beginning, but the ending is pointless and lame. A lizard blowing up the emperor's palace? Really? My score: 65/100 Expand
