Weak, corny, predictable, etc etc etc

Rating: 5/10 (9 May 1999)

Never having been a fan of Disney movies I was reluctant to rent this one however my wife was keen and I was somewhat reassured by the rating it had gotten on IMDB! Now I feel somewhat ripped off by my fellow IMDB-ers for misleading me so. This film is horrible and is an insult to a noble Chinese legend. Mulan as a Valley-girl!?! Mushu is nothing but a constant annoyance. The music is alternately bland and inappropriate, the dialogue incongruous, the slapstick un-funny, and the plot transparent. Now I am not a child and did not watch this with a child, but I don't think that it would have improved the experience if I had. Better avoid this one, 5/10
