Terrible clichÃ©d Hollywood Disney cartoon

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2004)

Maybe I am expecting too much of a Disney cartoon portrayal of Chinese history. If you want your children to properly learn about Chinese history, get them to read a history book, instead of perpetuating false American created stereotypes (Mushu?!) which invariably continues into adulthood. If you want them to be entertained, get them to watch a talking fish etc.
One viewer found Red Chamber depressing. Well, I found Disney's portrayal of China's Joan of Arc (Oriental Yentl?!) depressing. Who knows, in the future, a Disney movie about "Young George Washington and his band of merry revolutionary friends going off to fight the evil bratty British" or "Young Abraham Lincoln and his wise and noble friends went to free the slaves with his witty asides and his magical top hat, challenging the evil slavers to dance offs" with the appropriate American contemporary lingo will be made.
