Watching A Disney Movie For The FIRST TIME... *MULAN* (movie commentary) 

I need more reactions kkk

Did you see emperor new groove?

@@un_lupo_con_le_pantofole yes! It's amazing too!

Some of my favorites are Robin Hood and bolt. But if you’re looking for something more grand, here’s a list of highly acclaimed Disney movies I think you should start with. Lion King Aladdin Beauty and the beast Tangled Coco (Disney owns Pixar) Hunchback of Notre Dame Snow White and the seven dwarfs Cinderella Frozen Hercules Zootopia

@@MagdalenaRay61 Hercules too

i realized while i was editing but at that point it was too late, i'm so stupid LOL 😭

@@alexchris13 Nah not stupid, just a little slow :P

@@RedRoseSeptember22 not even that just a bit asleep. He said it was first thing in the morning. Even has coffee.

She also made him question his sexuality. That was the real betrayal😂

@@impossibleypossible5647 lets be honest, he was just mad cause she made him feel things he wasnt comfortable with 😂😂

Fuck, never noticed that. There really were no more musical numbers post village massacre

Wow never noticed that before, that's amazing... Ahg Disney at the 90s and 00s was so smart 😍

also!!! The whole last song is about a girl worth fighting for, but then their girl worth fighting for changes from a romantic love to the little girl! They find the girl's doll in the village after the song ends, and realize there's more to this war than they thought

she's not a princess though. She's an ordinary woman. not even a noble really.

@@Jim87_36She's not a Princess Princess but she is a Disney Princess. Disney have a whole set of rules for makes an official Disney Princess. One rule is that they have to be born royal, marry royal, or (because Mulan was such a hit) perform on act of heroism.

I'M NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE BOX OKAY 😭

@@alexchris13 we love you anyway

I was going to write this exact same comment. I don't think I've ever face-palmed so hard before.

@@alexchris13 lmfao!!!

@@ReklawLah Same, though I posted before seeing this. Guess I may as well delete my comment, haha!

I grew up in Germany and scince we have gendered nouns "der Soldat" is just a male soldier. So this meaning totally passed by me. Thanks for clearing it up :) The english version is in so many moments better than the german, fe in "honor to us all" they sing "we all serve our emeror (...) the men by wearing arms, the girls by bearing sons" - the german translates to "we love to save our emperor - the men go to war, the women bear sons". Just a small difference but a huge one because in the german version the women seem less important. It seems like they just stay at home while the men do all the work. In the english version it is spelled out that you need them because otherwise you won't have any soldiers.

I always loved that line for the first reason, but I never thought about the cultural context! 🤔

@@BTredflag That's the point of the entire movie though; the woman gets seen as a mere child bearer when in reality, she can do so much more. It's meant to be sexist.

@@DwynTwo I know. I just think that in the english version it sounds like "it is your place in this world to have children" whilst in german its just something that women do. Without any need to do it.

there'll definitely be more on the way!! so glad you enjoyed this one 😇❤️

@@alexchris13 oh! If so you should so Tangled next. It's my favorite Disney movie.

@@alexchris13 Hercules is such a great Disney Movie. One of my all time favorite movies.

Hunchback of Notre Dame!

@@alexchris13 I am so happy you will be doing more Disney movies! Tangled, Moana, Zootopia, Coco, Wreck it Ralph, Inside out, there are SO many good new Disney movies for you to check out, and if you want to go further back there are a lot of really good older Disney movies for you to discover as well. Can't wait for more!

nice! I was also born in the year of the dragon of the Chinese zodiac, and the month of Leo in the other zodiac. I looked up traits for both, and as I recall, they are practically the same!

@@kingscorpion7346 That's interesting. I'm a cancer so I never knew that the traits of leos and dragons were supposedly similar.

Howdy, y'all! Ox here.

Shenron. (The Dragonball franchise. Anime, so of eastern, Japanese origin)

Whoa!! I never knew that. Thanks for dropping gems!!

what if Shakespeare heard about the mulan tale? ( Marco Polo was there in the 13th/14th century) and Shakespeare in the 16Th/17th

It's because in his country women can join army

YESS! I LOVE IT LOL i literally sing it all the time now 😭

I second that!

It's a training montage song. It's supposed to be awesome.

Can I fight alongside you? Set to this song?

Yesssss! It’s on my workout playlist, but I’ll happily throw it on whenever I need that boost. Did it just the other day on my way to an interview lol

i can't hide from the truth 😭 😂

Yes Chinese dragons don't have wings.

@@a.g.demada5263 eastern dragons in general not just chinese

yesss i loved it!! she truly was the hero, and she showed everyone that she didn't need help from anyone. mulan is a badass Queen 😌

@@alexchris13 Also, note how the villain called her "the soldier from the mountains", not girl or woman, which suggest they may not play by the "no-women-in-the-army" rules

​@@annasporrong4845 It can also work under the logic that he remembered a man but it turns out to be a woman. Hence, he said "soldier" to connect the two.

@@jp3813 Sure, but I read somewhere that the og Hun army didn't ha the "No women" laws... Either because they were less misogynistic or they just wanted to have a big number of soldiers to outnumber China

@@annasporrong4845 It would've been cool to see some female Hun warriors in this movie then.

Women can also be the chiefs of villages or General's in war. They're also allowed to hunt. They are as equal as can be.

I feel like no One understands the why hes going after her though he wants to take down who ever is his greatest obstacle to conquering China and when he recognized her as the 1 who took down his entire army he realized she was his greatest obstacle and needs to be taken down

Moana probably killed a bunch of those Coconut things when she wrecked their boat but they aren’t human so idk if they count.

@@Neevkl_7 haha! Coconut things 🤣

June Foray was a freaking voice acting legend and I still miss her. RIP Gramma Fa.

@@ashleypenn7845 Yes. 😔😔

The Huns actually didnt have that strict of gender roles. The main Hun guy knows shes a Chinese Warrior so didnt recognize her as a woman, but in their culture, women and men fought together. That little touch shows the difference in gender roles from culture to culture.

@@faithjolley6034Oh, I'm aware of that. I just like to point out that little detail. 🙂

Everyone has their right to watch the live action , n ITS different than the 1998, don't force ppl to not watch it

I personnaly love the live action who's, for me, the best that Disney has ever made for now ♡ And it's not really a magical's side but it's all about "chi" and in myths and legends, the control of chi was able to give you incredible sort of power ^^ Plus, I love the way they talked about the fact that a powerful woman, who's strong and out of basics standars was considered as a witch. Sad reality :( Musics are beautiful, same as the images. Almost every shots looks like a photography ! I really liked the live action 😊

@@RubyLia yes they even said they follow Chinese "wuxia" genre hahahha IM not shocked at all , these ppl got it wrong too , even in Mulan real story she already skilled even before she joined the army and fought for 12 years , bcs her father trained her since she was a kid

The live action irks me so bad

the live-action is just bad storytelling, there is nothing there in terms of story. just a goddess OP girl character that has zero changes or development. she does not learn anything, she does not change either! she only using violence to solve all the problems and cause she has "superpowers" she wins everything. and this is sooo fucking boring! hall even superman's old movies stories are more interesting than this live-action movie, and yeah superman's story isn't that complex either. now this is just sad! so there is no point to watch the live-action. unless you want to get bored and annoyed very much on the bad storytelling XD I mean you can do that too.

i'll add those to the list 👀 tangled was definitely one i already had in mind though!!

Tangled is my favorite Disney Princess Movie

@@alexchris13 you should also do Tiana I love her because she likes to work for her stuff and the character development in prince Naveen is the best. Also new subscriber 😄

@@alexchris13 I also suggest the very last 2d animated disney princess movie! "Princess and the frog" *every* song in it is *impeccable*

Such a good one!

Yesss best Disney movie

Literally the best Disney movie.

Eugene Fitzherbert!

Sameeeee

Lol. I never noticed that until you pointed it out. That's why she looks slightly different

it was so good!! Definitely glad i started with it 😋

@@alexchris13 wow you replied... I might cry 😅 anyways I loved this video and ur thoughts about it!

hey i failed geography in highschool and i stopped taking history when i was 16 let me LIVE 😭

@@alexchris13 Then I highly recommend you watch an old PBS Kids favorite of mine from the 1990s: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, and the spin-off series Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego. I firmly believe that these shows will get you reacquainted with geography and history. It will be a fun experience for you, I promise. You can find episodes of it on RU-vid. Just look for the Jon Acme, Acme Timenet, and Acme Deux RU-vid channels.

@@HuskyDog88 yo the reboot also slappssss

i've actually never heard of those so now i'm curious to watch them eventually 👀

@@alexchris13 both are incredible musicals, with touching stories but nonetheless half-forgotten Disney films I think you might like

Seconding this!! They are both so good!

Hunchback of Notredame! The songs Hellfire and God Help the Outcasts are true works of art

Mulan and the hunchback of Notre Dame are my favourites

I find it hilarious that when they reveal her they put her with her hair down and they all gasped and it's like, you've seen her with her hair down before tho

it's at the top of the list!! 😋

this is my favorite Disney

this has been recommended SO much 😭 i definitely wanna give it a try soon.. just got so many shows on my plate right now, but if i try it and people enjoy then i'll definitely keep it going!!

Yes!!!! The Untamed is sooo good!!!

YES

But if you watch it watch the episodes on RU-vid not Netflix. The RU-vid subtitles are way more accurate

so glad you enjoyed haha 😝❤️ thanks so much for watching!!

I think the reason why she cut her hair was that she was tired of having long hair so she cut it short so it would be easier to deal with, kind of like me for instance, I've dealt with long hair throughout my teens, and when I reached 20 I felt that I've dealt with it long enough and it's time for a change. I believe that's why she cut it

I just assumed it would make more sense for American audiences since we usually tend to associate short hair with boys and long hair with girls, but her hair was long enough for a bun so it stayed in between of American and Chinese cultures.

Cutting your hair is like symbolization of changing one's self. Like "I'm tired of being the type of person I am now. I need to change." It's part of ancient cultures.

i'm glad 😌

that means so much to me 🥺🥺 i'm so glad you enjoy them, thank you sm for watching❤️

@@alexchris13 thank you for making these videos! 💗

JFDHJFS the timing!!😋 and LOL i couldn't help but using that video it was perfect 😭

@@alexchris13 it really was hahahaha

i know i'm EMBARRASSED 😭 also i realized why he said that while i was editing but at that point it was too late LOL i felt so stupid 😂 so glad you enjoyed this one!! and i'll definitely be doing more :) thanks so much for watching!!❤️

@@alexchris13 haha it’s okay, sometimes we just don’t pay attention or miss some information 😆 looking forward to your reactions~

**unbelievable
