Reviews for Mulan
Mulan is the latest Disney goldmine to hit thousands of screens and millions of Happy Meals.
01/01/00
It has very serious themes, but it is also quite consistently funny, demonstrating a perfect balance never before reached by the folks at Disney.
01/01/00
One of Disney's best ever.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
This is uplifting and often very funny, thanks to a genius turn by Eddie Murphy.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
The most enjoyable, artful cartoon feature since The Lion King.

Top CriticThis is the most inert and formulaic of recent Disney animated films, right down to the clowning sidekicks and would-be ''Under the Sea'' production number.

Top CriticMulan is quick, funny, has genuine warmth and is certainly better than almost anything else out there that is aimed at children.
01/01/00
The incredible special effects, which make lush cherry blossoms as vivid as the intense battle scenes, are balanced by Disney's tradition of care and painstaking detail in developing and animating its characters.
01/01/00
It's fun and genuinely harmless.
01/01/00
Murphy steals the show as the voice of Mushu, the best Disney sidekick in recent memory.

The most self-assured and by all indications the most successful Disney 'toon in years...

Top CriticNo review available.
01/01/00
Even at its silliest it is fun, and at times the images on the screen are the most impressive of any Disney animated film to date.
01/01/00
Mulan is dragged down by insipid songs that feel tacked on and silly, inappropriate sidekicks and secondary characters.
01/01/00
Disney's tried-and-true blend of populist instincts and weightier interests is back in full force and top form.
01/01/00
The originality of the artwork and the energy of the story make it seem fresh.
