Mulan Review

Mulan Review

You've got to love Disney. No matter what they serve up, it is a guaranteed success as long as it's animated. Kids have to go see the movie. Then they have to get the toys. Oh, the video came out? Got to buy it, or risk little Billy's temper...more

With the exception of the unforgettable FANTASIA, there has been nothing in the field of animation to compare with Disney's MULAN. The graphics were absolutely captivating. The battle scenes, the spears and arrows in the air, the city below, the...more

Mulan Review
by Andrew Hicks
There's good news and bad news about MULAN. The positive is that Disney has found a happy medium between the heavy-handedness of POCAHONTAS and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and the childishness of HERCULES. On the other hand, the studio is pulling...more

It had seemed to me that the folks at Disney had a rather interesting pattern developing in their feature animation department. Every other year produced a good film. Since 1989, Disney Animation has (with the exception of 1993) produced a full-length...more
