Though, to be fair, he does get a good line every once in a while. In Chinese history, this doesn’t seem to fly very well. In something like Shrek, it makes a little bit more sense. I didn’t see a character, I just saw Eddie Murphy doing the voice of a cartoon. He seemed really out of place, I didn’t laugh that much at him, and, I don’t know. What pulls her through are the scenes where she’s trying to be a boy, but we’ll get to that in a second.ĭoug (vo): People like Eddie Murphy as Mushu.I don’t. Again, not a bad moral, I’ve just seen it, and her character seems much more tied to the moral than it does an actual character.
And wouldn’t you know it? That unconventional thing changes everybody’s perception. She can’t do the one thing that everybody tells her to do, so she wants to go into something unconventional.

She’s the free spirit that everybody tells should be one thing, but she wants to be something else. I don’t want to say she’s a bore 'cause she’s not totally forgettable, but, again, I just feel like I’ve seen this character before. And that’d be great if she was a little bit more interesting.
Yeah, wasn’t that fitting casting? And while she has a hard time fitting in, she does eventually win over the crowd, never letting on to her secret.ĭoug (vo): Okay, so what do people in general really like about this movie? Well, they like the girl power aspect, they like the fact that such a strong female lead, that she goes out, she flings a sword, she fights her battle, she does all this good stuff. She’s accompanied by a Chinese dragon, played by Eddie Murphy. So she disguises herself as a boy and goes to fight for him. The only problem is, the father of a teenage girl named Mulan is too old and too sick to fight. What’s the story?ĭoug (vo): A long time ago in China, we have the Huns invading, so an army has to be put together, and one male from every house has to go and fight. And, yeah, I guess I’m on the same boat, but I think I like it and dislike it for different reasons everybody else does. Critics seemed to like it okay and audiences seemed to like it okay, and even today, that seems to be the general consensus. An instrumental version of the song "Reflection" plays in the background throughout, though the first few seconds of the review has the film's score heard in the opening credits played first)ĭoug (vo): Mulan, when it first came out, was a modest hit. Watch as the original singing voice of Mulan, Lea Salonga, silence the bar with the chorus.(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from Mulan.
