Mulan is a movie about a girl who pretends to be a guy so she can go to fight in the army to prevent her elderly father from fighting. Sensitive kids may be frightened by the main villain and a few fighting scenes... but they will take good messages from the movie. Throughout the movie Mulan learns to accept herself for who she is. Mulan is a movie about honor and integrity, despite Mulan pretending to be a guy. At times this movie can be corny for adults but overall Mulan is a movie the whole family can enjoy.

I found this movie to be just wonderful. My son, whom was 4 at the time he watched this, was just enthralled and loved to watch this movie over and over. I beleive this movie provides a great message; that anyone, whether male or female, can do anything that they put their mind to. As with most animated Disney movies, the animation was just beautiful. This movie also takes a child into a different culture, giving them a little idea of life other than the "American Way". If you are a DVD collector of Disney films, I would highly recommend adding this one to your collection,

Love it! Positives: Mulan is the first - and only - female Disney character that has gumption and skill. Doesn't rely on her beauty and relationship with The Man to get her through tough times. Actually rescues the men herself - several times. Overcomes cultural and social obstacles against women. Struggles with her own self-image (what I see in the mirror isn't really me inside - how to truly be myself). Even though she ultimately made a romantic connection with the hero dude, there was no wedding. Mulan remains a strong - and attractive - woman warrior. Negatives: Didn't much like the soldiers' song "A Girl Worth Fighting For" and their wolf whistling at the women in the fields. Didn't like the cultural stereotyping (banging a gong every so often, Mushu's disparaging comments about Chinese customs). Didn't like that American ways and customs (individuality, speaking your mind) were presented as more appealing than traditional Asian ways (family/community cohesion, obedience to elders). But I think the fact Mulan was shown as an ASIAN AMERICAN, rather than the ancient Chinese warrior woman of the actual story, made it easier for American girls to relate. Overall a positive thing.

good movie but lots of fighting and vilonce!

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.
