I enjoyed it !

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 1998)

I liked Mulan, especially since this is the first time Disney went for an Asian setting. I must admit I did not notice most historical screw-ups I read about afterwards. It was about as good as Pocahontas, better than Aladdin and Hercules, but not quite as good as The Hunchback, to my opinion. The score was very very poor and not in the least memorable, with the exception of one title, maybe. I really adored the character design (much better than in Hercules), but had the feeling there wasn't very much effort put into creating detailed backgrounds, especially compared to recent non-Disney animated movies like Anastasia. It seems that Disney didn't really think of this film as a grand masterpiece to be remembered for the next few years, but more as a "Let's do this film, until we can think of something we can REALLY put money into". I was glad there wasn't that much Americanisation in the film like in Hercules, until I saw the ghosts dancing to disco rhythms... well, you can't have everything, I guess. Still, a must for all Disney-fans.
