Fearful that her ailing father will be drafted into the Chinese military, Mulan (Ming-Na Wen) takes his spot -- though, as a girl living under a patriarchal regime, she is technically unqualified to serve. She cleverly impersonates a man and goes off to train with fellow recruits. Accompanied by her dragon, Mushu (Eddie Murphy), she uses her smarts to help ward off a Hun invasion, falling in love with a dashing captain along the way.

The animation is beautiful and Mulan is a likable protagonist. The scene of Mulan's decision with the score by Jerry Goldsmith is one of most perfect scenes in Disney history. I don't think this is one of the best Disney movies as a whole, I could feel myself zoning out a lot. Not a lot of the characters were particularly entertaining or interesting. That being said it is a very solid movie and definitely worth checking out,

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The eponymous character’s arc still resonates with many people today: a journey of proving one’s self-worth, family, and breaking stereotypes. Visually, it has a cinematic feel that no other Disney animated flick owns.

Rated: A-

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

It's a fast-paced story laced with catchy tunes and occasionally startling animation. Eddie Murphy delivers a knockout performance as the voice of her sidekick.
