Disney animation depends on captivating music, powerful villains, and effective comic relief, and Mulan has all three.

From the first scene onwards, you know you're in good hands.

Goes about halfway toward setting new boundaries for Disney's, and the industry's, animated features, but doesn't go far enough.
December 06, 2005
This is the best Disney animated feature, ever (involving extensive use of cross-dressing).

A disappointment for anyone hoping the studio would raise the standard of the animated feature to a new level.

What's terrific about Mulan is its reaching for emotions that other movies run from: family love and duty, personal honor and group commitment, obedience and ingenuity.

The film shines at capturing the watercolor delicacy of China's past.

Using richly hued, angular animation, this vibrant, action-filled Disney offering is immensely entertaining.

What is chiefly impressive is that the appropriation of Chinese iconography in a film that was plainly made by Western animators feels ultimately so natural and successful.

Continues Disney's dominance of the animation field with its solid, assured story-telling, good main and supporting characters and superior craftsmanship.

Overall, this is a lovely film, ranking with the best of Disney's animated features while taking on rather serious issues of war, honor, gender roles and family pride.

Female heroes permeate most of Disney's animated movies, but this is the first time they've given her real strength.
