a great animation of a Chinese legend in an American perspective

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2018)

This is a lovely animation. My favorite part is definitely the heroine. She is brave and resourceful, and most importantly are able to make her way out of people's biases and the obstacles society has given her. It is inspiring to see a story like this coming into life and capture people's eyes. Not only that, this story is also very refreshing and totally hilarious. It's very colorful and its characters like the lucky cricket and Mulan's three troop friends are so lovable. Mushu is just straight fun. Some feminism movies tells a very heavy story where the heroine overcomes great adversities with blood and tears. That is great in its own way; however an animation like this truly shows an optimistic, quick-to-act vibe that cheers me up and brings lots of hope. Great movie!
