When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.
If there was not an animated musical version of this movie with an awesome dragon voiced by Eddie Murphy - this would be a great movie about Chinese culture and family and honor. It still was an enjoyable movie based on that. But it was weird watching it without the songs and Mushu popping up. I will never understand why they went the route of Dumbo with this one instead of Aladdin and Lion King.
I would still recommend people checking this out. It was a decent watch. Not worth the $30 that they are charging or whatever at all but if you can stream it online it is worth it.
