This might be Disney's best girl movie. The dragon, voiced by Eddie Murphy, is FUNNY! Reccomended.

What Parents Need to Know
About Mulan
Parents need to know that kids under 5 may find some scenes frightening. Mulan becomes a hero and helps her people by rebelling against authority. She learns to fight with weapons. The Huns destroy Chinese villages and kill people (not shown). Some battle scenes are scary and intense.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Mulan reconciles defying her parents' wishes and the law versus doing what she thinks she must. When should children follow their inner beliefs first and foremost?

Lives in New YorkI rate this title on for age 2 and give itI've loved this movie since I was two years old (it came out in 1998 I believe, and I was born in 1996). Mulan is one of Disney's only heroines, also my first rolemodel as a kid! She still is my rolemodel now. This movie has amazing music, great animation, an interesting plotline that might inspire older viewers to do research on Ancient China and the supposed 'real' Mulan that inspired the poem, which inspired the movie. It has its share of funny moments, too, especially earlier on in the battle scene with the three soldiers. Speaking of which, there are some darker moments in this film, like when Shan Yu gets pinned to a bunch of fireworks (it's implied that he... ehh... explodes), and when Shang finds out of the death of his father. It could get scary for some young viewers, although it was never frightened me. This movie's been out almost eleven years, and I'd be surprised if you haven't managed to see it yet, but if you haven't you should immediately buy it.

I'm fifteen and still love this movie! Disney classics are the best movies out there, I don't care how good digital and 3D gets. Mulan has a little violence, but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING graphic, sexual, or profanity. I recommend this for ages 7+. Very good.
Lives in North CarolinaI rate this title on for age 5 and give itOne of the best Disney movies
This was my favourite Disney movie when I was little, and still is. I think it does a fantastic job telling the story, while keeping within the boundaries for the young ones. I remember finding the action in the movie, though moderate, very exciting and enthralling from when I was younger. Fantastic movie for all ages.

YAY!
I like this movie!! Little bit of violence, no language, good social image (hey there are so many bad role models for girls now, Mulan is one of the only good ones). I really like how Mulan proves herself to be as good as the boys. It's cool :)
