Mulan


Mulan one of my daughter's favorite Movies and for a while I believe she memorized the lines in the entire move (General, protect my people... ). It helps that she is Chinese and the film is about a Chinese hero. It also helps that the hero is a girl (rare for Disney), and so is my daughter. For Halloween for the last two years, she dressed up as the cool Mulan (the warrior one). We also have a picture of her on my Aunt's Black Horse Sam in Mulan Costume which is great. We offer quite a few different versions of Mulan. From the original Chinese version (which is required reading at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco) to the Disney version in a Chinese Video.  In the Disney dubbed version for Taiwan, Jackie Chan played Shen and Coco Lee played Mulan (and sang the songs!).  In the China version, I thought the Villain's voice was done better.  English wins for Eddy Murphy playing Mu Shu. Disney due to politics, dubbed a different version for distribution in China.  In the recent DVD release of Mulan, Disney included a mandarin track.  I am not sure which version.

 

Mulan is based on a sixth century poem.  Basically Mulan (a lady) takes the place of her younger brother, and wins a battle against some barbarians.  Huns were more a European issue.
