Product description Clam Shell Shows wear. .com 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

Mulan is the man or the woman
Mulan is one hour and thirty minutes and was released in theaters on June 19, 1998. The movie tells the story of Fa Mulan who is the young daughter of the great warrior Fa Zhou. Mulan thinks of herself as a disappointment to her family, but her father does not let on and cares a great deal for her. In the opening scene the Huns have just stormed the Great Wall of China and the Emperor of China has conscription notices sent out to each household informing them that one male from each household must join the army. Fa Zhou, who is in poor health, accepts the conscription on behalf of his household. Mulan knows that her father is unfit to join the army steal his sword and suit of armor and takes the family horse and rides away in the night to join the army. When the family finds out about this Grandmother Fa asks the Ancestors to watch after her. This wakes up the First Ancestor Fa who awakens Mushu to summon the rest of the Ancestors. First Ancestor Fa sends Musho to awaken the Great Stone Dragon, but in doing so Mushu accidently destroys the Great Stone Dragon. Mushu pretends that he is the Great Stone Dragon and sets out, along with Cri-kee, to help Mulan. Mulan disguise herself and a man (calling herself Ping) and tries her best to fit in but does not. It is not until she has proven herself that the camp finally accepts her.Mushu gives Chi-Fu phony orders to send the men on their first assignment. The men break camp and head up to meet General Li's army, but they arrive too late. The village is destroyed and all of the soldiers are killed. Captain Li Shang, General Li son, and his men all are that remain left to prevent the Hun invasion. It is Mushu that accidently sets off one of the rockets and alerts the Hun army. At battle breaks out and Ping uses the last rocket to start an avalanche that wipe outs nearly all of the Hun army. Ping is wounded in the battle and when the doctor mends her wounds it is revealed that Ping is a woman. Since Ping\Mulan saved Captain Li Shang life, Captain Li Shang spears her life and kicks her out of the army. Later that evening Mulan discovers not all the Huns were killed and several of the survived including the leader of the Huns Shan Yu.Back at the Imperial City Captain Li Shang and his men are welcome as heroes of China. Mulan tries to warn Captain Li Shang that Shan Yu and some of his men are still alive and are heading towards the Imperial City, but Captain Li Shang will not listen. Mulan, Mushu, and Cri-kee take matters into their own hands once the Emperor of China has been taken hostage.

Who doesn’t love Mulan?
Great score, fun for all ages. Perfect for last days of school at any grade. I few years ago I laughed because all the 8th grade boys were watching and singing and the girls were playing cards.

Personal favorite
My children are now adults but they were small when this released. It brings happy memories of years gone past. I'm not fan of Mulan II. I reviewed separately.

Great film
My 3 year old and I absolutely adore this movie, we watch it all the time. I’m a low-screen mom so my toddler doesn’t get much screen time, so when I need to put something on she says “I wanna watch Fa, Mulan!” 😆 our little inside joke. The movie is so funny and catchy. I enjoyed this as a kid in the 90’s myself.

Catchy songs, exciting action, & a heroine my grandsons love!
A great story with catchy songs, a heroine who appeals to boys and girls, lots of battle action, and a happy romantic ending. My two grandsons, aged 3 and 5, have watched it more than thirty times since we got it a month ago. They love the songs.

A Girl worth Fighting for
Next to Pocahontas and a few others, Mulan is another one of Disney's strongest heroines. The classic of a young woman who impersonates a soldier and joins the Chinese army to spare her father from any harm really does the job of keeping you interested to see how she maintains her charade as the fate of her country hangs in the balance. The songs of this movie are pretty good, and the animation is pretty eye-catching as well. While I do admit that the villain, Shan-Yu, is not the most interesting of the Disney villains, there's no denying that he's straight up intimidating and, being a man of few words, always to the point when he speaks. And Eddie Murphy's voice work as Mushu lends itself to some pretty good humor at times. This is a movie worth adding to your Disney collection.
