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.

Reviews for Mulan
A fascinating and artistically animated movie that's worth seeing more than once.
Mulan will set a new standard by which future animated efforts by Disney and other studios will have to work hard to attain.
Lush and exotic... but we are cheated out of the two best songs in any Disney animated feature--the songs by the comic sidekick and the villain
This is passable entertainment, and folks looking for an afternoon's distraction for their children could do worse.
Audiences will jump up and cheer for Mulan, which declares itself a true Disney masterpiece.
The Disney studios has its formula for annual, full-length animated features down so pat that it's hard to remember which one you're watching at any given moment.
Using richly hued, angular animation, this vibrant, action-filled Disney offering is immensely entertaining.
Packed with action and humor, the film is imaginative, fun and fast-paced, presenting a strong tale of female empowerment while imparting a positive message about the importance of being true to yourself.
Mulan is the latest Disney goldmine to hit thousands of screens and millions of Happy Meals.
It has very serious themes, but it is also quite consistently funny, demonstrating a perfect balance never before reached by the folks at Disney.
Disney has accomplished so much over the years that I can't help but wonder how they do it.
It heralds the ancient Confucian virtues of family honor, respect for elders, and devotion to country.
Disney's latest animated feature hearkens back to its heyday fare, a sweet and captivating tale that pits gentle, enduring goodness against dark, malevolent forces.
This is uplifting and often very funny, thanks to a genius turn by Eddie Murphy.
A welcome reminder that some in the studio system still allow kids' pictures to be made which are good, which are true, and give them the freedom to dream.
