Disney's 36th full-length animated feature chronicles the
adventures of Mulan, a strong-willed young Chinese woman who clashes with her traditional
culture.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A woman bathes presumably naked (only her shoulders are seen)
in a lake and several men join her. She later gets out of the water and wraps herself in a
towel.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A battle scene with many flying arrows, lots of cannon
fire and a huge army of men on horseback. A man is swept away by a rocket and crashes into
a fireworks tower which explodes (presumably killing him). An avalanche covers an army of
men in snow (presumably killing most of them). A post-battle scene shows many men dead on
the ground amongst rubble and flames. A woman is injured and has a bloody wound on her
stomach. A group of large men attack and kidnap the Emperor - there's some sword-fighting,
punching and kicking. A fist-fight causes some bruises and property damage. The bad guys
are huge and very menacing with yellow eyes. A woman's dress catches on fire and a bird's
feathers are incinerated. Mulan is being bullied by her army mates. We see a ghost whose
head has been cut off (he holds it in his hands).
PROFANITY 1 - Some very mild insults and mild name calling. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Cross-dressing, feudal societies, sexism and feminism,
arranged marriages, tradition, honor, ghosts and spirits.
MESSAGE - Regarding women as inferior is not only wrong, it is stupid.
Intelligence will triumph over brawn.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
