Let's get down to business....favorite animated Disney movie?
Something really cool I didn't realize as a kid is that Yao, Ling, and Chen Po are all individuals who don't fit the traits of what it means to be a strong male. Ling's the skinny one, Chen Po's overweight, and Yao is short so he has a bit of a Napoleon Complex. So we're not just seeing Mulan's growth, we're seeing theirs too.
Fun fact: Jackie Chan voiced Captain Shang in the Chinese dub and even sang “I’ll make a Man out of You”.
Shan Yu is arguably a scarier Disney "Villain" in comparison to Ursula, Jafar, Captain Hook, and Gaston. Sure, he wasn't given a menacing, catchy theme song, but he was CERTAINLY more gruesome. He literally killed one of the messengers, which was heavily implied with the whole, "how many messengers does it take to send a message" and one of the Huns go "one" shooting the guy point blank, sending a message to both the emperor and China. He was a real conquerer and although he wasn't given a lot of screen time, he was still interesting. For example, he didn't care that Mulan was a man or women, because the Huns were nomadic and had significantly less gender biases than that of China. Shan Yu still attempted to kill Mulan in revenge regardless. He wasn't a traditional antagonist, but he still played his part as the villain well.
Everyone is like "oh mulan has gender problems." Actually no, she has problems with the roles for the genders. She conplains about "shes a woman so should this". She never said "i wish i was a boy" she said "i wish i wasnt doing this role." So there people.
Mulan killed more people with snow then Elsa ever dreamed of.
Ok but the coolest part about “Girl worth Fighting for” is that through the whole thing, they’re talking about a girl romantically, until they find the village. More specifically the doll, and that little girl who was killed becomes the real girl worth fighting for
What's great about Mulat is that the movie got "strong female character" right. She doesn't go to war because she wants to prove something. She does that so her father doesn't have to go. But in meantime she does prove something. At the beginning she can't do the same thing as other soldiers because she never trained. But she takes an advantage of her own skills. She struggles to achieve her goal. But she has no special gifts to do it. She doesn't want to "be like men". At the end she remains very feminin. Perfect female character which is not a copy of man actions in female body.
Shang Yu is an unappreciated villain. To me his strength is his realism. He was winning until Mulan. And he took his defeat as temporary. He was ruthless, relentless, his plans were solid, he feared nothing. He was serious about things. He was serious. NOT a cartoon. The emperor was the other utterly serious character. Pragmatic and cool-headed. They were not playing. Too bad they had so few scenes.
I'm sad he skipped over; "You missed! How could you miss, he was 3 feet in front of you!"
As a girl who didn't fit into stereotypes of femininity but still wanted to make my family happy, this movie very much spoke to me. Instead of forcing me to wear skirts and dresses and only complementing me when I wore make-up, I wanted was my family to say the same thing her father did at the end, "The greatest honor is having you for a daughter." I just wanted to be me. Mulan was the first hero to give me some hope. It took many years to feel comfortable in my own skin.
"you're humming that song on your head right now"
Shang Yu freaked me out as a kid. He wasn't fun or charismatic; he didn't sing; he didn't have a grand scheme. He wasn't Disney, and that scared me. He wasn't someone who would let you "temporarily" live as part of his grand plan. If he wanted something, he would slit your throat for it is the vibe he gave off. No negotiating, no bribing, no persuading, nothing but sheer force could stop his hand, and that terrified me.
The doll thing still gets me. I'm amazed by how one object could tell us the dark moments happening offscreen and how merciless Shan Yu's troops would go to eliminate an entire village, without even having to show us the child who used to own that doll.

Man, you cut my favorite line.
“I like too that Mulan isn’t naturally a fighter. Nothing about her background or environment would indict that she would be. In fact, if anything it makes her risk and sacrifice all the more meaningful, she’s going into a fight not knowing how to fight. She has to learn like everyone else. Which allows growth for the character, as well as growth with the army.”
I think it's important to note that it's not necessarily that her father was too old to serve in the war, though he is definitely older. It's that he's injured from being in the army previously. That's why they make a point about him tripping or having difficulty standing up.
I can't believe you skipped the "I never want to see a naked man again"
