We Love Mulan

Disney's Mulan

When the Hun armies invade China, a young woman named Fa Mulan disguises herself as a man, runs away from home, and fights for her country. She does it to protect her aging father, who has no sons to go in his place. But she is also trying to prove herself and do something worthwhile.

Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies, and probably the last traditionally animated Disney movie that deserves to be listed up there with The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast.

Mulan Character Analysis

Mulan is uneasy about herself and her future. To uphold her family's honor, she must impress the matchmaker and marry well. She wishes to please her family, but she just can't seem to conform to the role she's expected to play. The matchmaker is outraged by Mulan's apparent clumsiness and sends the girl away in disgrace.

Before the day is over, the whole village learns that the Huns have invaded China. Mulan's aging father is summoned to battle. She knows her father will die if joins the Chinese army, and her own future is uncertain. So she cuts her hair, steals her father's armor, and goes to war in his place.

Although Mulan disguises herself as a man to blend in and protect herself, she never loses her femininity. She draws on her natural intelligence, spirit, and determination to excel as a soldier.

Reflection...

Go ahead, disagree. I dare you.

In my opinion, Mulan was Disney's last true animated masterpiece. Although Disney tossed out a few traditionally animated movies that were cute or even pretty good since Mulan, none of them held a candle to the likes of Beauty and the Beast or Lion King.

Mulan was Disney's final masterpiece.

Heck no...

Beauty and the Beast was certainly the best modern Disney movie. Mulan was quite good, but the character is much stronger in the traditional story, not relying on a sidekick dragon to pull her out of the fire. Great lens, though!
