This is the Disney's Mulan I missed. I really hate the 2020 one. For one reason, I love Mulan and her father's sweet and intimate relationship here better than the new one. Another reason; Mulan is more likeable here than the new one; like the emphasis in her character is her will and determination, not to mention her humor, not some chi power or some other physical special abilities. And last reason, the 2020 version removed one of the most essential characters in the Disney's Mulan: General Li Shang.
_Mulan_ was Oscar-nominated for *Best Score* but lost to _Shakespeare in Love._ None of the songs were nominated, though. That year, "When You Believe" from _The Prince of Egypt_ won for *Best Song.*
@@musicaltheatergeek79 ironically, you can say that the entire score plus the songs were nominated in one specific category which was musical/comedy score (including the songs plus lyrics), at least it was something despite no song category (like what happened to Alan menken and Stephen Schwatrz in HunchBack) so it was kind of a win win scenario, makes sense?
Sad disney doesnt make movies like this now. With all the cgi stuff they're doing some I accept but most of them are mediocre compared to the 2d films.
I’d say it’s moreso their live action films that don’t have this same level of artistic integrity and expression. I think some of their animated films are still well written and animated but their live action lacks the soul they were known for back then
You Can't Beat The Classics! Ming-Na Wen Will Always Be Mulan! She Even Looks Like Her, Such A Queen, The One Honourable And Respectable Disney Character! 🥰🥰👑👑
Funny how people assumed Mulan animayed action movie was made without any attention to the historical aspect until they actually look up what went to into making the animated one
That’s amazing that this movie was actually animated at Disney world by a group of people that Disney hired to pretend to be animating for tourists and instead made this masterpiece and LILO and Stitch
1] This movie was also about misogyny, which, though this is much bolder within the film, itself, is still very much around today. It's taken various new forms, but it's still there. 2] Shortly after seeing this movie for the first time [I was 7], I went into our bathroom and tried to cut my own hair, like Mulan did with her father's sword. My mom found me in there and panicked, and she immediately drove me to the beauty salon to correct what small amount of damage I'd been able to do. After being told what had happened, the head stylist giggled and said they'd received several calls from nervous mothers, whose little girls had done the same thing I had. 3] This movie was my introduction to both Donny Osmond AND Stevie Wonder. I'd heard their names many times before, but I'd never heard either of them sing. (9/24/2023)
Lmao BH Barry… Can you imagine making a movie based around Chinese legend and then consulting some British guy as if he’s the expert on Chinese martial arts? Come on now… Jackie Chan literally worked on the Chinese dubs of the film. HE WAS RIGHT THERE!
