Mulan

Mulan (1998) – It’s an attractive film with an interesting score, but it’s got a goofy brand of humor that, headed by Murphy’s proto-Donkey buffoonery, is likely to appeal only to small children (this silliness also saps the movie’s belated attempts at a serious story); other issues include the mostly forgettable songs, the all-over-the-place accents, the astounding dumbness of some of the characters, and, of course, Disney’s projection of modern Western values onto other cultures. 5
