thewallace95-739-137299 I was very excited to see that the thumbnail of the video contained the image of a Yert or Ger, the traditional mobile shelters for the Mongolian nomadic peoples. My first thought was that this film would be the rare children's film steeped in history as well as entertainment. However, I was quickly proven wrong.The villain is a character named Mala Khan, a name that implies cheiften status among the invading Mongol forces, however, the real Mongol invasion of China took place under the leadership of Gengis Khan, ultimately leading to the Yuan Dynasty who ruled China after the successful Mongol conquest. These historical events were not included in the film, it completely brushed over the establishment of a Mongolian led Dynasty within Medieval China. Instead it opts for the typical Hollywood happy ending of the Mongol invasion being repelled. Also the armor and weapons of the invading Mongols, particularly those of the fictional leader Mala Khan, bear a much closer resemblance to feudal Japanese armor worn primarily by Samurai Warriors. Do the producers of this film expect us to believe that a Mongolian Khan would dress in the armor of a people that were famously never conquered by the Mongols? This playing fast and loose with history could generate lasting misconceptions of actual events in the minds of its young viewers. Also, why were they bugs?

zor9000 If I could give this movie a 0/10 I would, this is a crime against humanity.This shouldn't be a movie, the idea of this movie is more fit for DeviantArt fan fiction. The movie is a fever dream that is basically about if the movie Mulan and Bug's Life made love and made this abomination of a movie. ALL the acting in the movie is forgettable, the look of the movie is mediocre to bad at some points, and it is a Mulan movie rip off with bugs replacing the humans. This movie has a bland and boring plot that is so uninteresting that I wanted to turn the movie off 4 times.To any poor soul that has to witness this movie congratulate to you for making it through. To anyone who hasn't seen the movie and is interested in watching it, don't, just run while you still can.

TheLittleSongbird The Secret of Mulan is not the worst of UAV Corporation's animations (it is better than The Secret of the Hunchback for instance), but it is a contender for their weirdest.Best asset? Definitely the soundtrack, which is almost as good as the one for The Secret of Anastasia and much better than The Secret of the Hunchback's. The music score is whimsical and rousing, Mala-Khan's theme gets embedded in the brain and is the most memorable thing of the entire animation and Mulan's song My Home, My Country is a truly beautiful one, movingly meaningful and hopeful. Mulan is a likable character, charming, headstrong and heroic which makes her easy to relate to, Mala-Khan does pose a reasonably good threat and doesn't come over as goofy a villain and while the outcome can be smelt a mile away even from the opening scene the climax is quite riveting, that and My Home, My Country are the most interesting scenes in the film.Unfortunately the animation is not great really, it is a little better than that in …Anastasia and …Hunchback because some of the backgrounds are quite nice and detailed but it's also flatly and gaudily coloured, the action can be awkwardly edited and the characters look weird (even within the anthropomorphic concept) in design, rough in drawing and stiff in movement. The script has some really corny dialogue that makes lighter parts seem forced and nearly as clichéd and over-familiar as The Secret of the Hunchback's writing. While it was closer for it to contain a couple of elements of the legend, the story generally lacks tension, there were a few nice relationships with the characters but not enough is done with them, and drags as a result of not being able to sustain the running time, making it feel longer than the short length it actually was.In terms of characters, the only ones that came close to interesting were Mulan and Mala-Khan, the rest were underdeveloped, the traitor's decision making was quite sudden and could have been better explored, or unnecessary (including a forced 'jewish' stereotype that felt very out of place), and of the voice cast those characters were the only ones for whom the voices stood out, the rest sounded bland or uninterested. To conclude, not terrible and watchable for the soundtrack but pretty weird. 4/10 Bethany Cox

mandeeheaivilin Hi, I wanted to let you know that in one of the Princess Stories (secret of Mulan) There is a little bug singing and it says some foul language...my daughter watch the movie and started walking around saying it....I am very very upset about this...I got her the movies for her birthday and we just watched it and I heard the Foul Language, I went back to where it says it made my daughter go to a different room...went up to the speaker and it says what I thought it did...I want something done about this...I don't appreciate getting a cute little movie for my daughter and than hearing what we heard. Please let me know what I can do about this because I am very mad about wasting money on a movie that had foul language in it, that my daughter heard and started to repeat.
