Sorry for the long break in posts my few loyal followers, I was caught up in end of quarter stuff and then my new found summer freedom. Mulan will, I think, forever and always be my favorite Disney film for a number of reasons. For one it's the only one I remember seeing at the theater. It also seems to me like it was the last great conventionally animated movie before cgi took over. More personally I'm an eternal fan of actress Ming-na(who provided Mulan's voice) because I loved her on ER. Mulan herself is a great character the only Disney heroine who manages to get off her butt and do something and actually make her own story which she does in a charmingly misguided way, thanks to Mushu. Additionally the music is incredibly catchy, Honor to Us All in particular is a favorite of mine. My sister and I are prone to mocking Grandma Fa's overwrought delivery. While we're on the subject, since Mulan is the only Disney movie on the list I feel like I need to mention the shall we say unique history my sisters and I have with Disney songs. One of us owned a book of Disney songs (Lauren?) and I remember not only singing but choreographing Disney song performances. Most notably on car trips we invented a game in which we sang the lyrics of a song (most famously Part of that World from The Little Mermaid) taking turns singing each word it sounds horribly choppy and often over-dramatic and is a great way to kill some time.
