Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

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.

rotten:
Goes about halfway toward setting new boundaries for Disney's, and the industry's, animated features, but doesn't go far enough.

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

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