reVision
"Molte lune fa, nell'era dei dragoni, in una terra antica e misteriosa, viveva una fanciulla di nome Mulan". Comincia così, a metà strada fra la fiaba e la leggenda, il nuovo lungometraggio d'animazione della Walt Disney Pictures che, dopo la poco ...read the complete Mulan movie review at reVision
Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene
Na zaÄŤetku devetdesetih so pri Disneyu pogruntali zmagovito formulo za uspeh: glavno junakinjo/junaka poÅ¡lji na preizkuÅ¡njo, jo/ga oboroži z dvema sidekickoma, najraje živahnima živalicama in vsakih petnajst minut vstavi lahko posluÅ¡ljivo pesem. ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene
Film Freak Central
If Disney's animated features can be reduced to a stable of alternating boy movies and girl movies, then the studio's decision to make the cross-dressing fable Mulan at a juncture when they really needed mass approval (that is, after striking out ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Film Freak Central
Plugged In
The title character in Mulan is sweet, smart, strong, noble--and the most modest heroine to inhabit a Disney cartoon since Beauty and the Beast. Forget Pocahontas' hourglass figure, Jasmine's midriff, Megorah's come-hither charm, and cleavage that made ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Plugged In

Mutant Reviewers From Hell
My offspring might consider it nosiness, laziness, the hovering threat of censorship or (hopefully) quality time, but I watch a lot of television and movies with them. Sometimes it's fun (VeggieTales), sometimes it's educational (I learned the lyrics to ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Mutant Reviewers From Hell
Tempi Moderni
Mulan, femminista ante litteram nella Cina imperialista, rifiuta categoricamente le rigide regole comportamentali dettate dalla tradizione, portando il disonore nella sua famiglia. L'anziano e malandato padre della ragazza viene improvvisamente ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Tempi Moderni
Sunday Online, Australia (Peter Thompson)
Happily, major animation studios are springing up to give some healthy competition to Walt Disney Pictures, now 75 years young. But the sheer scale of Disney’s operation is still awe-inspiring: in the case of “Mulan”, 700 artists contributed to the ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Sunday Online, Australia (Peter Thompson)
Greg Dean Schmitz
I went into Mulan with high expectations, due mostly to the sweeping ads we've been seeing for months, and my own hopes that Disney could make an animated movie that didn't talk down to the audience, and I wasn't disappointed. Mulan matches all ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Greg Dean Schmitz
Mark R. Leeper
The first thing I ask of a Disney film is whether the storyteller took large liberties with the original source. Unfortunately, though I have several books on Chinese history and folklore, Hua Mulan (or Fa Mulan, as she is called in this film) lies ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Mark R. Leeper
Tail Slate (Michael Sheridan)
Clearly, Mulan was structured to be similar to Aladdin. Both take place in a foreign country in the past. Both are steeped in the legends of those cultures. However, where Mulan differs is that it seems to utilize the culture it is depicting more than ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Tail Slate (Michael Sheridan)
Brilliant Observations on 1492 Films (Clayton Trapp)
My first reaction to an ancient Chinese drama driven by weak pop music isn't entirely positive. Then I settle back and figure that it's written for children-and how many of them are going to go on to become venerable scholars of that ancient era anyway? ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1492 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Needcoffee.com - Movie Review
The Huns are coming! The Huns are coming! Yes, that's right, it's Disney's 36th animated feature and if there's one less memorable then I can't remember seeing it. Basically, China is in danger, and the Emperor (Morita) has decided to conscript a male ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Needcoffee.com - Movie Review
Nick Amado
It had seemed to me that the folks at Disney had a rather interesting pattern developing in their feature animation department. Every other year produced a good film. Since 1989, Disney Animation has (with the exception of 1993) produced a full-length ...read the complete Mulan movie review at Nick Amado
