Consensus: Exploring themes of family duty and honor, Mulan breaks new ground as a Disney film, while still bringing vibrant animation and sprightly characters to the screen.

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Childrens

When barbarous Huns attack ancient China, the fiercely independent Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen) defies tradition by disguising herself as a man in order to take her ailing father's place in the Imperial Army. With the help of Mushu (voiced by the resilient and newly kid-friendly Eddie Murphy), a wisecracking guardian dragon sent by her ancestors for protection, Mulan trains in boot camp and then heads off to face the brutal Hun leader Shan-Yu (voiced by Miguel Ferrer)--all the while struggling to keep her gender identity a secret. Chock full of the usual Disney delights--breathtaking visuals, catchy songs, and an inspirational protagonist of courage and conviction--MULAN is a welcome addition to the studio's annals of classic animation.

A good-hearted, entertaining movie that accomplishes its goals and scores a few 'girl power' points to boot, and it's definitely worthy of a spot on the family video shelf.

Overall, I liked the more serious aspects far better than I did the comic relief.

Mulan is an astonishing achievement that, in its own right, outshines most other animated films, 3D or otherwise.
