Reviews for Mulan
A telling testimonial for this film is my 6-year-old's first exuberant utterance as the credits began rolling: 'Can we get the video?'

The wizards at Disney's hit factory reached far away in time and space for the story of its newest animated musical, and they've brought home a winner.

Wait for the video, and you'll miss the grandeur of sequences that would have astonished David Lean.

Almost triumph(s) over the old-fashioned forces of Disney tradition.

Algumas histórias jamais poderiam ser contadas de outra maneira que não através de um desenho animado. 'Mulan' é uma destas histórias.

A disappointment for anyone hoping the studio would raise the standard of the animated feature to a new level.

Mulan will set a new standard by which future animated efforts by Disney and other studios will have to work hard to attain.
01/01/00
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
01/01/00
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.
