Amazon.co.uk Review:
1998's Mulan is solid entertainment from a new group of Disney animators. The story source is a Chinese fab\ le about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to help her family and her country. When the Huns attack China, a cal\ l to arms goes out to every village, and Mulan's father, being the only man in the family, accepts the call. Mulan (voiced\ by Ming-Na Wen, sung by Lea Salonga) has just made a disastrous appearance at the Matchmaker and decides to challenge soc\ iety's expectations (that she should be a bride). She steals her father's conscription notice, cuts her hair and impersona\ tes a man to join the army. She goes to boot camp, learning to fit in with the other soldiers with some help from her side\ kick, Mushu, a wise-cracking dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy). She trains, and soon faces the Huns eye to eye to protect he\ r Emperor.

The film is gorgeous to look at, with a superior blend of classic and computer-generated animation. Directors\ Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook make the best of it: a battle in the snowy mountains is as thrilling as the best Hollywood a\ ction films. The menacing Huns are not cute but simple and bad. The wickedness is subtle, not disturbing. The film is not \ a fully fledged musical, as it has only five songs (the best, "Be a Man", is sung during boot camp). Eddie Murphy is an in\ spired choice for the comic-relief dragon, but his lines are not as clever as Robin Williams's in Aladdin (1992). T\ hese are minor quibbles, though. The story is strong, and Mulan goes right to the top of Disney animated heroines; she has\ the right stuff. --Doug Thomas

- Fantastic film.
I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this. So I was very suprised when I loved it from start to finish! It has everything we have come to expect of a classic Disney film.. a strong hero/heroine, a hilarious sidekick character, a great soundtrack and a beautiful display of animation. Yes, it really is a great film, with a powerful story and some great characters. Highly recommended.

- WHY MULAN STICKS OUT AS A GREAT DISNEY FILM
I was impressed by this Disney film for so many reasons, too many to list here, but I will go on the record as saying that Mulan has got to be one of the best Disney female characters that ever saw production, in the midst of a colorful and artistic film, that will resonate in your memory.

Mulan sticks out in my mind for this reason. For once, we have a strong female lead, or at the least, stronger than most of them. She isn't counted among the Disney "princesses" line-up. She doesn't want for herself, and she seeks to look deeper within herself to discover her inner being. She isn't like Ariel, who wants to be someone else. She isn't like Jasmine, who sits in luxury, waiting to be swept off her feet by Prince Charming, just like ... Read More:

- One of the very best
*Criminally* underrated. "Mulan" is easily the best Disney film of the past ten years. It gets straight to the point within the first five minutes - the Huns are invading and one man from every family has to go and fight in the army - and doesn't waste time faffing around. Mulan herself does not disappoint. She is pretty, of course - what Disney heroine isn't? - but she's also brave, clever, quick-thinking, and genuinely self-sacrificing. It is so rare to have a heroine actually provide evidence of her worthiness (Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, love 'em as I do, are little more than pretty and kind) that I felt a little giddy the first time I watched. Even better, she shows character depth by questioning herself constantly throughout the film, ... Read More:

- Wonderful!
This is one of my favourite Disney films. The Dragon (played by Eddie Murphy) is hilarious, paired together with Mulan's emotional journey makes this movie a fantasic watch. It'll make the younger kids laugh and keep the older ones gripped. A must see for every Disney lover!
