365+ movies in 365 days: Day 26 - Mulan


Today I watched Mulan the 36th Disney animated classic and part of the Disney renaissance of the 1990's. the film is visually stunning, especially in key battle scenes with the Huns and when Mulan is in the great city. The film tells the story of a Chinese daughter, Mulan, who takes her ill father's place to fight for China against the invading Huns. Eddie Murphy, who has most of the comedic lines, plays  Mushu the guardian dragon sent along to protect her. Much darker than the usual Disney films, which make the songs and traditional comedic sidekicks feel like they belong to another movie.
At The Movie Rating ***1/2 stars
