![]() ![]() Still, it’s an exhilarating moment, even if it never quite really reaches the highpoint that it might have done. Most glaringly obvious is the Hun army’s stampede, a sequence inspired by, and that heavily recalls, the not so dissimilar moments in The Lion King with the wildebeests. The use of CGI, still fairly new at the time of production, is done sparingly, though it is sometimes easily possible to pick out those scenes that employ the technique. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook pack their film with several set pieces, as well as some nicely staged minor moments, which do manage to balance out the film. The script is paced well, with neither the humor nor the drama ever overpowering the other. Mulan doesn’t quite feel like classic, epic Disney, but it’s not far off, and very much a film from the same stable, still leagues ahead of what other Studios were putting out at the time, and still more charming than the majority of CGI “comedies” pumped out today.Īs a piece of storytelling, Mulan is as solid as Disney comes. The artists at the then flourishing Florida unit were largely still learning the ropes, although the creativity and achievements on show certainly indicated what was to come with their follow ups Lilo And Stitch and Brother Bear, itself one of the other titles making its BD debut on the same date. The big question was: could they not only handle such an undertaking, but also one that needed careful treatment and a fine juxtaposition between the overly “toony” feel and true emotional storytelling? The answer, for those that have previously enjoyed Mulan’s many delights, is a resounding “yes” of course, even if some of the animation can sometimes be somewhat unsophisticated in nature. However, and as went on to happen to so many of the Studio’s more dramatic pictures from this time, once Katzenberg left the Studio in late 1994, the story was infused with a little lighter touch and handed over to the then-still fairly green Florida feature unit, who up until that point had mainly been responsible for Disney’s Roger Rabbit shorts, and small (mostly more “cartoony”) sections of the Burbank animated features. ![]() First mentioned as ripe for story treatment as far back as when then-Studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg was trying to up the ante on animated films and build on the critical and commercial success of Beauty And The Beast, Mulan was initially plotted as a deep drama, in the vein of Pocahontas and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Proving that behind every great man is a greater woman, Mulan is able to use her smarts to help Shang and his rag-tag band outwit the Huns, until an unexpected situation threatens to reveal her secret and expose her true identity…Īrriving amongst another slew of same-day Blu-ray updates for other Disney titles from roughly around the same period, the Studio’s telling of the ancient Chinese legend of Fa Mulan easily holds up as one of their more “classic” animated features from its late-1990s offerings. Along the way, she falls for, and gets into a complicated relationship with, her captain, Shang, and is aided and abetted by her ancestral protector, the diminutive dragon Mushu, and a “lucky” bug, a cricket named Cri-Kee. #ADDING COLLECTIONS TO MOVIE COLLECTOR 1080P#We currently have 11,481 articles, 8,216 files and 153,247 edits as of October 16, 2022, and you can help.Walt Disney Feature Animation, DisneyToon Studios (June 19 1998, November 15 2004), Walt Disney Home Entertainment (March 12 2013), Blu-ray plus two DVD discs, 88 and 79 mins plus supplements, 1080p high-definition 1.66:1 and 1.78:1 widescreen, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, Rated G, Retail: $39.99īased on old Chinese folklore, Mulan follows a young headstrong Chinese girl who rebels against her pre-arranged marrying off and swaps her dresses for a soldier’s uniform to take her ailing father’s place in the battle against the Huns.
