Mulan 's story is based on 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 fully 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' 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, desertcart.com Brimming with daring adventure, hilarious characters and inspiring music, Disney’s animated classic Mulan celebrates honour, courage and a young girl’s quest to be true to her own heart. As clever as she is beautiful, young Mulan is determined to prove herself – by courageously taking her father’s place in the Imperial Army. Aided by her outrageously funny guardian dragon Mushu and a lucky cricket named Cri-Kee, Mulan’s quest will lead her to a climactic battle atop the Imperial Palace, where her family’s honour, the fate of the Emperor and the future of all of China hang in the balance! Review: The Best of "Old" and "New" Disney on Blu-ray - Mulan is a rare movie, combining the best of old and new styles to create a masterpiece. Based on an ancient Chinese story, Mulan tells of a girl who rose to inspire her people against an invading foe, a story pre-dating that of Joan of Arc by many centuries. In Disney's telling, the character animation, the music, and Eddie Murphy's voicing of Mushu the Dragon are "new" style elements; while animation of buildings and landscapes are "old" style, and very beautiful. Most importantly, the story development is also in the old style, with finely crafted characters you care about. This results in a film which is emotionally affecting for adults as well as children, though on differing levels. Mulan expertly mixes cartoon slapstick, clever dialogue, magnificent sights and sounds, and eye-misting emotion, creating a powerful experience the memory of which is likely to last for a very long time. The films from Disney Studios have been hit-and-miss since the passing of Walt Disney, and Mulan is one of the hits. Perhaps the strangest example of the bull's eye scored by this film is Eddie Murphy as Mushu, with an accent that is seemingly so out of place, and yet so perfect. The Blu-ray edition heightens the effect of the thunderous soundtrack and the beautiful animation, offering a grand evening's entertainment for the entire family. Re-visit this classic from 1998 to see how good later Disney films could be. Review: Dvd mulan - Great item

Love the film, great and very prompt service from vendor
Love this film, bought as a Christmas treat! Surprising how enjoyable traditional ‘drawn’ animation is , after all the highly sophisticated CGI in almost every film these days.

Finally watched it and glad I did
In the run up to a visit to Disney World I decided I should check out some of the bigger Disney titles I had not watched yet and Mulan was one of the ones at the top of the list. The film was beautifully animated, had a great storyline and the music + songs worked well while not being the best offerings for a Disney film. This is a film that I had watched a few times since I purchased it and despite getting rid of some of the other Disney films it has remained firmly in the collection.

Who is that girl I seee.....
My fave Disney movie, great for adults and kids alike. Very much a girl power orientated film and actually shy's away from a love story. Every song is powerful, the fact that it is based on fact too is interesting, love Mulan so much I used to wish I was Chinese when I was a kid (and still do) It will make you shed a few tears too, real feel good ending.

AMAZING!
In one of the best animated classics, young Mulan must risk her life to save her father from certain death. She volunteers for the war which provers to be thrilling, scary and very hard. But will she be revealed as a woman? This film is completely and utterly hilarious!!!!! There are absolutely no bits i dont like. It is either scary, hilarious or gripping and the battle secenes are infrequent but when they comde they make you laugh, cry and tremble. Buy this musical masterpeice edition now!

En español a medias
La versión Ultra HD tan sólo está disponible en Español de Latinoamérica, pero la versión en Bluray está también en Español de España. Por lo demás, esta película está muchísimo mejor que la nueva versión en live action que ha sacado Disney.
