Plays great in our blu ray. Got it to replace an old video tape that wore out. Our daughter loves the story and this disc is a good product.

Great product

I can finally get rid of my VSH tape. It's so much easier to put on a DVD then a tape.

The DVD did not work. It was probably because we ordered it and European standards are not the same as US . Trying to return has been a nightmare due to UK customs. It cost me more to mail it back than it originally cost

Mulan came out towards the end of Disney’s peak era of animated musicals, which began in 1989 with The Little Mermaid and ended in 1999 with Tarzan. The company released 9 major feature films of that genre in that period, and I rank Mulan is somewhere about 5th or 6th in that pack; that’s no insult given how strong most of the films were. This is a quite entertaining, beautiful film, with very good musical numbers, which only lacks in a few story elements and a central heroine not quite as well-rounded as the likes of Ariel, Belle or Jasmine from past films. Mulan, voiced by Ming-Na Wen, can’t seem to act as a “proper” Chinese lady and find a husband. She decides to take her physically ailing father’s place when every family must give a man for war that has come upon them by the Huns. Dressing and acting like a man she’s awkward in the training at first, but she eventually becomes one of the most impressive of all the soldiers, while the man leading her and the squad is one she admires and finds quite dashing as well. Along the way she gets some much needed help from a small but determined dragon voiced by Eddie Murphy. The film has a nice combination of comedy and action, although they are within a story somewhat clunky at times. This is no doubt a gorgeous film, from ancient Chinese villages to snowy mountain peaks to the Forbidden City. The title character is certainly a strong willed female hero, and mostly it is not by chance but by the choices she makes which determines her fate. Unfortunately she just didn’t engage me as a person like any number of other Disney leading ladies; as much as I admired her strength her character basically swung in two modes: awkward bumbling girl and super-brave hero woman. It’s a good Disney heroine, but not a great one. The songs are nice, with a couple being fairly memorable. On balance the good stuff in this film far outweighs the minor issues I had. Mulan, even if it isn’t one of the best Disney animated musicals, is certainly one that should satisfy those of all ages looking for a rousing and inspirational tale. One last thought: What the heck were they thinking with that first song in the ending credits? It doesn’t fit movie at all.

love this movie!

I really like this Blu-ray.

Mulan is a rare movie, combining the best of old and new styles to create a masterpiece. Based on an ancient Chinese story, Mulan tells of a girl who rose to inspire her people against an invading foe, a story pre-dating that of Joan of Arc by many centuries. In Disney's telling, the character animation, the music, and Eddie Murphy's voicing of Mushu the Dragon are "new" style elements; while animation of buildings and landscapes are "old" style, and very beautiful. Most importantly, the story development is also in the old style, with finely crafted characters you care about. This results in a film which is emotionally affecting for adults as well as children, though on differing levels. Mulan expertly mixes cartoon slapstick, clever dialogue, magnificent sights and sounds, and eye-misting emotion, creating a powerful experience the memory of which is likely to last for a very long time. The films from Disney Studios have been hit-and-miss since the passing of Walt Disney, and Mulan is one of the hits. Perhaps the strangest example of the bull's eye scored by this film is Eddie Murphy as Mushu, with an accent that is seemingly so out of place, and yet so perfect. The Blu-ray edition heightens the effect of the thunderous soundtrack and the beautiful animation, offering a grand evening's entertainment for the entire family. Re-visit this classic from 1998 to see how good later Disney films could be.

La versión Ultra HD tan sólo está disponible en Español de Latinoamérica, pero la versión en Bluray está también en Español de España. Por lo demás, esta película está muchísimo mejor que la nueva versión en live action que ha sacado Disney.

Great item

This is my favourite disney movie because its fun for the whole family. It has the perfect mix with comedy and also a tear jerker

Love this film, bought as a Christmas treat! Surprising how enjoyable traditional ‘drawn’ animation is , after all the highly sophisticated CGI in almost every film these days.
