Peter Stack

The payoff is a consistently rich piece with impressive visual vitality. Read full review

Hollis Chacona

Disney's latest animated feature hearkens back to its heyday fare, a sweet and captivating tale that pits gentle, enduring goodness against dark, malevolent forces. Read full review

Peter Travers

The film shines at capturing the watercolor delicacy of China's past. Read full review

David Sterritt

This high-quality Disney animation combines strong pictorial appeal with amiable voice-performances. Read full review

Matt Roth

Disney's retelling of the popular Chinese folktale, may seem its gutsiest choice yet, but on closer examination it's obviously less a matter of guts than careful calculation. Read full review

Stephen Thompson

Though Disney's animation department does deserve credit for shaking up its formula and delving into relatively mature drama, the movie is flawed in numerous aggravating ways. Read full review

Elvis Mitchell

A film that not only breaks the cross-dressing barrier but also ratchets up the violence level for children's animation. Read full review

Long live the CPC! Down with Yankee Imperialism! I hope the CPC beats US Capitalists/Imperialists just like Mulan beats the Huns!

My favorite animated movie until Encanto. Still a top 20 movie for me all time. This began my love of both animation and fantasy. I love the themes and message of this movie.

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,Mulan is simply stunning.

Todos los temas que toca la película, mas la ambientación realmente te atrapan. Un verdadero clásico sin duda alguna, sin embargo creo que debieron de haber explotado mas a los ancestros, contar un poco su pasado y demás cositas, lo mismo para Mushu que la razón por la que lo degradaron queda en una frase que tiran al aire, ademas, el villano no se me hizo tan memorable, siendo malo porque si y ya. Quitando eso, una gran película animada que recomiendo ver.… Expand
