"How many people does it take to deliver a message?" "One." is one of the most chilling lines in disney i think
it's even more chilling because they don't show the actually killing of the solider just that you are expected to know that it actually occured based on the events surrounding it!
@@E_btsot798 subtlety in the writing/ screenwriting of cruelty or horror is my favourite shit bro
@@mariyamurashko6425 I don’t know if you notice that in the song the girl worth fighting for the three main soil sets were singing about the three women they want and each woman’s outline was the future three princesses they end up with in Mulan 2!
@@E_btsot798 oh shit! Thanks for that i didn't realise
ever since a kid i have always loved this line and love how after it’s said it goes to black. ah it’s peak cinema in my opinion
Shan-Yu is my favourite Disney villain. He's got his goals, he's not showy or flashy about it, he's just determined and extremely capable and he *almost freaking wins*. No magic, no power of friendship causing the universe to change, no wishes or storms - not even his own hubris kills him. They legit have to use high explosives to destroy him. He's unique because he's a genuine threat and he's totally serious about it.
His downfall was his pride, which tends to be most Disney villains. What’s great tho is that he doesn’t kill himself, he gets killed. It’s also why TLM’s villain defeat is so remembered too, she gets purposely impaled. Both died in messed up ways, and the main characters are the ones to have to do it.
He did have a loyal cadre of bros helping him out, but I thought having them there was a good way to add some layers to his character very quickly.
Love his voice too! Miguel Ferrer!
Even his goons were competant.
Also he said "the soldier from the mountains" and not "the girl" cause women could join the Hun army so he saw her as equal with the other soldiers from the begining
Two of the most inspirational Disney quotes ever:
1. The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all
2. No matter how the wind howls the mountain can not bow to it
Never liked #2 because it's a bad simile.
@@legionaireb It's a metaphor
@@lindseysquire8417 this is so funny and idk why
@@lindseysquire8417 And therefore a terrible simile, of course
“Sir?”
“”You don’t meet a girl like *that* every dynasty.(Read “Go after her you idiot.”)
You’ll never be able to hear anybody say “Let’s get down to business “ without following with “and defeat the Huns”. It’s so catchy. All of these songs are true bops.
*To defeat
I have 3 workout songs, this is one of them 😅
This is correct lol.
The music is the best of all the Disney moviea!
sucks we only get like 2/3rds of a great musical as it becomes a serious war movie and less campy
Fun fact this time: Mulan's dog is named Little Brother as a nod to the original legend, where she had a brother, but he was too young to go to war
That abrupt end to, "a girl worth fighting for," gives me chills each time.
I always finish for them, despite the change of tone when they discovered the destroyed village.
Especially when you consider who the real girl worth fighting for is: the owner of the doll.
27:00 Considering the emperor just said ‘mountain cannot bow” to the wind, I’d say it means a lot that he bowed to her.
Good point. I like that. I always thought of his wind/mountain line as being more of a savage dunk on Shan Yu in a "you're just blowing a bunch of air, idgaf" way than an affirmation of the Emperor's own actual unbendability. But I do like your take on it and how that adds to the moment he bows to Mulan, for sure
Tip for anyone in university right now: listen to Be a Man from Mulan right before any kind of exam. It really works, I swear
It's also a reliably fabulous hit at any karaoke night. Just commit to the vibe and everyone in the room will be joining in and getting theatrical about it lol
I blasted almost there from the Princess and the Frog all the way to the bar exam for the second time. And I passed. So it actually works.😂
“How lucky can they be? They’re dead”
“I think it’s going well”
“Sign me up for the next war!”
Grandma is seriously one of my fav XD 🤣
In the french version, instead of " I think it's going well " she says " I think she become warmer "
Notice how Shan Yu said "the soldier from the mountain" and not "the girl from the mountain". I believe women could serve in the Hun Army and the Huns treated women better than China did
This is true
I mean the "Huns" never fought China nor existed where they supposedly did in the movie so not really how any of it worked as far as I know
One of the most common ways to get a wife in Mongol society was to steal one, this is still a problem to this day in kyrgyztan. Enlisted women or no enlisted women, when kidnapping is considered as typical in the marital institution as gift-giving, no moral pedestal is attainable
@@rextheroyalist6389 Same applies to many tribes in Northern Vietnam.
Is just seen as normal over there. Talked with a girl who was a guide and her sister had it happen.
@@rextheroyalist6389 Morality is all relative. I totally agree with condemning theft of humans for marriage or any other purpose, but it's not logically sound to talk about it as if there's some objective matrix of morality against which to measure it. There is no literally-divine rubric listing the criteria for being awarded various amounts of moral points, after all, just systems humans make up and then pretend are divine lol. IMO utilitarianist logic lends itself well to developing sound moral systems, but mine is far from the only school of thought on how to identify what makes a moral system "good" 🤷♂️
“Maybe it won’t be that bad, Harry. Maybe you’ll have to fight Mushu from Mulan…” ~ Ron Weasley, A Very Potter Musical
TIL I should look into that musical lol
I miss VPM
Dean deBolis, a young animator at Disney, storyboarded the scene Mulan cuts her hair and decides to run away from home. He went on to direct all How To Train Your Dragon movies.
"ooh! Sign me up for the next war!" The grandma is the best character haha
I always thought it was interesting how A Girl Worth Fighting For ends abruptly on the desolation of a village because throughout the song it is light hearted and that scene is such a stark contrast. It is the soldiers talking about maybe some of the motivation they had for why they're fighting. And to end it with "a girl worth fighting..." and then the scene of carnage. I thought it was such a powerful moment because it reminded them that it is NOT only a girl they are fighting for; it is their country and the lives of everyone in it. I will always have a deep respect for Mulan as a film. Everything about it is solid even after multiple rewatching. And although it is not historically accurate, it builds upon the story a different depth, one of family and the virtues of persevering.
Very well said. I love the take I've seen floating around where people point out that the never-seen little girl implied by the doll is the one who replaces their idea of "a girl worth fighting for" at that moment, representing a transformation of their motivations from selfish to selfless. Honestly felt silly the first time I read that for never having thought of it that way before.
Plus there is no further sing along songs after this point in the movie
Speaking of expressive horse, in 19:15 Shang's horse look just like him - first sad, then determined. Never noticed that until now
Actually the Huns treated women better than China did.
This movie was made to appeal to the Chinese market (it didn't).
@@SergioLeRoux I thought it was the 2020 remake that was made to pander to them. When Disney was making the Mulan animated movie, a lot of Chinese say they didn't like that they were gonna Disney-fy it but Disney didn't care & continue.
Actually according to original story(poem) Mulan was working for a Huns' emperor who ruled north China then.
Yeah i like to think hence "The soldier from the mountain" not "the man from the mountain" or some shit just "soldier"
I didn’t know that.
Make a man out of you is the song that blasts out of my speakers when it’s time for house cleaning.
some people react to these movies and straight away criticise the characters' actions using mindset of the modern world. I like that you guys recognise and understand that in those times, filial piety and submission to authority is the widely accepted mindset. like your reaction
people who do that are simply ignorant - really showing a glaring lack of historical education
Fun fact in case you didn’t know: the matchmaker was played by Miriam margoyles who was professor sprout in Harry Potter :)
Omg I love that lol, what a fun and visually fitting connection. Glad you commented it.
I got super excited when I realized that James Hong, the terrifying hilarious David Lo Pan himself from Big Trouble In Little China, was the voice of that jerk Chi-Fu lol. He's done a TON of great voice work. His voice is so mega distinctive that I can't believe I didn't connect it before, it's almost like he tried to make Chi-Fu less exaggerated than his usual sound or something, but once I realized it was him the match suddenly felt incredibly obvious. I found this out only a few months ago when I finally got into AvatarTLA and was like "OMG I HEAR LO PAN THAT'S TOTALLY HIM" and looked him up to be sure and saw Mulan in his insanely long filmography 😆
@evilfuzzymonster He also voiced the SUPREMELY wholesome 'Mr Ping' from the King Fu Panda trilogy! 😎
Two Disney movies I would recommended for an reaction would Treasure Planet and Atlantis the Lost Empire two of Disney's most underrated movies worth checking out.
How about Meet the Robinsons? Pretty underrated. Same with Dinosaur.
@@forestcatkay14 I completely forgot Dinosaur that's an another one worth watching.
Atlantis pleeeease 😍
@@travisherndon94 If you ever watch the behind the scenes for the movie it’s incredible how they made it. From the explosions, the various items to make the dinosaur footsteps in the desert scenes, to how they made the grass. Granted evolution wise there are some…while made for a good story I’m sure paleontologists were laughing at a lot of things.
Yes Treasure Planet 😍😍
The live action killed SO hard the spirit of the story, it is sad. The ending scene with the dad, was ridiculous. The animation hit the emotions the right way evry single time, and it shows that the father doesn't care about honor at the end, just that his daughter is back and safe. In the movie that doesn't happened
Except that the live action resembles the true story more.
@@gotz1516 about that, it does not. I suggest looking for Chinese youtubers reviews, they hated, and said that the animation is better. Just 2 examples: 1- the way the movie represented the "Chi" is not real, is not what it really is. 2- the witch, the concept of witch as it is represented in the movie does not correspond to the Chinese culture, it was a occidental representation. There are good reviews of Chinese people comparing to the real poem of Mulan, i recommend strongly 😘
a version of Mulan I really like and enjoy is the TV show Once Upon a Time the way they portrayed Mulan to me was almost spot on of course there were a few alterations to her character like most of the fairy tale characters in the show But still its one of the better live action portrayals of a disney character!
@@E_btsot798 true, i loved her in this show as well
@@kellyjo91867 disney sequals ar usually bad, i dont like it neither
Technically the stone dragon was already awakened. Mulan is that dragon.
I heard a theory that Mulan was the great stone dragon
@@camsaturn It's true.
this was so iconic, it shaped a whole generation
Edit : I love the story telling a lot, all the implications like when the Huns killed off one of the messengers they only showed it by the cut & the audio, when they wanted to show that the General had been killed they only showed Chien Po carrying the General's helmet. Let's not even get started on the amazing transitions and the SMOKE ART
I've also seen the older princess movies that were hand-drawn, in sleeping beauty they had a lady irl just spinning and dancing around while the artist sits and draws to capture the movements
Also in a girl worth fighting for i don't know if you noticed but each outline of the woman the three were describing were the outilnes of the three princesses from Mulan 2!
I wish you react to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron", that fairy tale is so underrated but so beautiful, also the songs are the most beautiful I have ever heard in fairy tales
Yes
Yeeees
yesssss
I agree. Spirit is a marvellous tale and that OST is heartbreaking, while empowering and beautiful at the same time. It always brings tears to my eyes
This movie is so awesome! The only negative I can think of is that it reminds me of the Disney remake I wasted two hours on
Lol oof
They tried to make Wonder Woman with a mare human
911! I just witnessed a ruthless murder!
@@headcaptainyamamoto7015 They really said: « Let’s take a character who’s strength lies in her wits and bravery.... and replace all of that with MAGIC !
And let’s erase all of her flaws that push her character to grow and make her an unbeatable war machine from birth! »
@@whitenoisereacts "The girl who they were fighting for" was the girl who lost her doll.
Keep in mind the Huns treated women better.
Shan Yu said "The soldier from the high mountains" not "the woman from the high mountains"
This film was also really good at having a good sized Asian-American cast:
B.D Wong as Shang
Pat Morita as the Emperor
James hong as Chi Fu
Soon-Tek Oh (as Fa Zhou, the father)
James Shigeta as General Li (Shang’s father)
George Takei as the Head Ancestor
Jerry Tondo as Chien-Po
Gedde Watanabe as Ling
Ming-Na Wen as Mulan
etc.
The fact that James Hong is Chi-Fu only became apparent to me a few months ago, despite his incredibly distinctive voice. I finally got into AvatarTLA and heard his voice and went OMG IS THAT DAVID LO PAN FROM BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and looked him up and was blown away by all the roles and especially voice roles he's done! Can't believe I never realized Chi-Fu was him before that, he almost makes Chi-Fu sound a little too real and less caricaturey than I usually hear him. The crossover will never cease to amuse me. "You were not brought upon this world to 'get it', captain!" "Who is this woman? Friend of yours, huh? This really pisses me off to no end!"
Just as a heads up, never watch the live action version. It completely missed the point of the character of Mulan. They took a character that had to actually prove herself and earn her worth among the guys and turned her into what was basically a chosen one who was already talented at fighting. Not to mention the dated CGI and the story as a whole, while different just didn't entertain much.
Ain't the remake based on the actual story through?
To put it simple. They tried to make wonder woman with a mere human but without the flaws of an inexperienced fighter
@@christanbranch5811 I mean, if you consider a magical mystical energy called ki as being realistic and part of it, then maybe. Regardless, it made for a really boring film.
@@headcaptainyamamoto7015 Pretty much.
@@christanbranch5811 that's what they marketed it as but no, not even a little bit
My all time favourite Disney movie!!
Best relationship advice right there. “You don’t find a girl like that every dynasty”
Fa Mulan: the only Disney Princess with a bodycount. In the THOUSANDS!
But the Huns popped out of the snow, so she can't have killed that many with the avalanche. I know, I know, I should take it up with Lindsay, not you, because I know you're quoting her, but she was still wrong.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 only a few popped out, her body count is definitely in the thousands
Tiana also. Just one: Facilier
I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid!
Mulan is one of THE best Disney movies ever. As a little girl I was (and I still am) so impressed by her bravery and her dedication, going to a war for such a selfless reason like protecting her father but also trying to gain honor for the family. I don't know if I had the guts to do something outstanding like that.
I wish more girls today would take HER as an inspiration instead of todays influencers of the internet. 🥴 (Or the "woman of the year" Cardi B... Like c'mon. 🤣)
Ikr. The Halloween after it came out my cousin and I both unknowingly dressed as her. Except she wore her matchmaker dress and I wore her army uniform just because I loved how brave she was. She was definitely inspiring for me as a kid.
Stories of impossible feats like the story of Mulan , can inspire us to be that much more brave and bold even if only a little. I’m sure more than one weak nerd has been so impressed by Goku that they are now stronger than they even would have been without that inspiration. That’s the neat benefit of telling heroic tales.
there is nothing wrong with being inspired by Cardi B. from cardi you can from her the fact that she is always herself,she doesnt change that aspect of her and she says whats on her mind,she has no filter which is not always a bad thing. too many people try to fit themselves into a box and try to make others happy with how outside forces think they should be
@@Sapphire_Reacts yeah, there's no need to hate on Cardi B lol
There's really no need to tear women down to bring others up.
A lot of peope just put humming/tunes over whole sections they dont want hit by copyright, which is completely understandeable, but thanks for taking the time to isolate your vocals from the track recording.
"I wonder if that's like, the rule or whatever? Because the emperor is bowing?"
I certainly don't claim to be an expert on Chinese culture, but it's probably pretty unlikely because emperors in most cultures don't bow to many people. He also made such a point of NOT bowing to Shan Yu, which makes it that much bigger of a deal for him to bow to Mulan. But many cultures DO have a rule that, if the king/emperor sits, you sit. If he stands, you stand, etc. So if that's the rule, it would make sense for the people to take the bowing cue from the emperor too.
I just figured that if the emperor bows to someone and you don't, then you're implying you're higher than the emperor.
@@DoctorWortspieler I mean yeah, pretty much.
When I was young and saw this, my mom's take on it was that an Emperor themselves is a symbol of their nation, in the same sense as use of "the royal 'we'" used in western rulerships -- and so maybe there wasn't some codified rule about bowing when he does, but rather to the people their Emperor bowing effectively means China as an entity/idea itself is bowing, and they identify as being part of that/subject to the Emperor's decision on their behalf. (After all, Shan Yu wanted the Emperor to bow to him and it would have served as a submission on the part of the entire political entity of China, not just the Emperor himself, so same deal.)
Yes! Mulan is fantastic, i have the songs on my main playlist and it’s so quotable too. I’m excited for The Iron Giant reaction, i haven’t seen it in years, i remember loving the book too but I read it a long time ago so I’ll probably have to reread it soon.
I remember when I was old enough for ot to really click that the scene with Mulan and the little girls doll was meant to imply the girl is dead as well. So masterfully done.
Yeah same, I remember it being kinda vague to me when I first saw it in theaters, I think I didn't really visually interpret the bodies correctly and assumed it was just all wreckage of some whole town being burned and the people had been forced to flee or something. But a couple years later I was like WHOOAAAAA
The creepy part before that with the "The little girl will be missing her doll. We should return it to her" registered with me as them approaching in hostility, though, for sure. That was scary as hell. IMO it's an even more chilling goosebumpsy moment than the "how many men does it take to deliver a message" line.
It's quite probably the darkest scene ever in a Disney movie. An entire village has just been mercilessly massacred full of innocent men, women and children and razed to the ground. Absolutely horrifying.
Shan-Yu is the most chilling and terrifying Disney villain ever put to screen. Thoroughly evil.@@ItsAsparageese
@@keepitsecret-dl1pr I'm not positive he's the most chillingly scary (to me personally, since it's subjective of course) but yeah he's sure as heck up there. The only other soul-quaking movie villain coming to mind right now as a competitor is the Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but idk if that's Disney-related at all
@@keepitsecret-dl1pr Ah I remember the actual Disney competitor I was trying to think of -- Frollo, the hypocrite creeper clergy guy in Hunchback of Notre Dame. I personally think he's even worse than Shan Yu in terms of sheer hateable ick. He's scarier (to me) in the realistic "commentary on a quality some humans actually have" way. But in terms of pure fantasy-tier evil vibes, yeah Shan Yu wins. He's just less realistic, so gets to me less
Honestly, as much as I love how sassy Mulan's grandma is, my favorite part of the movie is Yao roasting Chi-Fu in the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For".
Chi-Fu: 🎶I've a girl back home who's unlike any other🎶
Yao: 🎶 Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother🎶
Just the look on his face alone is priceless. 😅😂🤣
You should listen that moment in french.
Chi-Fu : Une belle fille m'attend depuis bientôt 40 ans (A beautiful girl has been waiting for me for almost 40 years)
Yao : Depuis tout ce temps, elle n'a sûrement plus de dents (Since all this time, she probably has no more teeth)
I'm so, so glad you both enjoyed this film. 'Mulan' has so much heart and I really love the theme of family and honour. This film also has my favourite cinematic shots (ie: the epic montage when she takes her father's place) - SO cool! It would be very interesting to hear Ninetails' take on western/ disney animation. I'd actually love to hear his thoughts on 'Beauty and the Beast' if he hasn't seen that one :)
Mulan (animated) is one of my most favorite strong female characters, right up there alongside Sarah Conner of Terminator and Ellen Ripley of Aliens!
When I was a kid, my brother insist me to watch it in theatre. I was kinda don't want to coz I wasn't into "princess" back then. But after watching it, I understand that Mulan is more than just princess movie. The war scene in snowy mountain and when ppl bows to Mulan scenes was really aaweeee me. Imagine watching it in 1998 in theatre as a kid!!! Nothing can compare those scenes!!
As a kid I was going to a type of self defense training and once year we had a sleep over in their gym and watched this movie. Such good memories. Love the movie to this day :)
That's frickin' adorable
Although there's a lot of disagreement about it, I've always thought that _Mulan II_ was one of the best of the Disney direct-to-video sequels along with _Aladdin and the King of Thieves._
Lord that was back when direct-to-video actually meant VHS tapes. Fuck I'm getting old.
you're not getting old, technology is just moving too fast
Mulan was voiced by Ming-Na Wen. Who played Agent Melinda "The Cavalry" May in MARVEL Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D and is now Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. She's officially a Disney Legend and jas completed a Disney Hat trick of being in multiple Big Disney franchises.
u guys r literally my comfort youtubers atp. tysm for all the videos. they make my day!
Of course!!!
I just saw "Mulan reaction" on my notification at first and I was like "pls be The good one, pls be The good one, ple be The good one... ITS THE GOOD ONE, LETS GO !!!!" One of the best disney movies!
Mulan is such a classic, loved this reaction! Would love to see more of these types of Disney animation/princess movies from you guys as well!! There's so many good ones out there, and didn't know ninetailedbrush was an animator so seeing his reactions to animation would be a super cool perspective, too!
Also loved the appreciation for the synth montage where Mulan makes her decision to leave, it's so badass and the music is so good - and even cooler if you guys have heard the theory about how Mulan is actually the "Great Dragon" awakened to protect her family, as she was sitting under that same statue when she made her decision and you continue to see the dragon motif throughout the entire scene (the sword, the folding screen walls, etc.)
Gonna make it simple: MULAN ROCKS!!!!! That was the princess I wanna be when I was a kid!!! Thanks for the reaction guys I had a smile the entire time!
I’m so happy I got to grow up watching princesses like Mulan and Merida 🖤
I have to recommend Atlantis The lost Empire and Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron for you to watch, two of my all time favorites
June Foray, (voice of Looney Tune's Granny and Witch Hazel, Rocky from Rocky and Bullwinkle, Susie Loo Who, and 1,000 of others) was the speaking voice of the Grandmother. Marni Nixon, who dumbed the singing for Eliza Doolittle in movie "My Fair Lady", Maria in the movie "West Side Story", and Anna in the movie, "The King And I" did the singing voice!
Mulan is my favorite movie ever, I'm so excited to watch this!! Thanks for the content ♥️♥️
Arguably the most bad-ass Disney princess (even if she isn’t technically a princess). She saves China! And Mulan doesn’t get married off at the end of the movie either. I think this was the first Disney animated film that used CGI (for replicating all those Hun soldiers). Ming-Na Wen (speaking voice of Mulan) is the only Disney princess to also have TV roles in a Marvel show and a few Star Wars shows (two live action and one animated).
The original singing voice of Mulan is the TONY Awardee Lea Salonga from the Philippines, who was the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in the animated version of "Aladdin".
Also, in the animated version there is a hawk who accompanies Shan Yu, without knowing that in the live action version, that hawk transformed into a powerful witch/shapeshifter, Xianliang, who joins Bori Khan.
i always loved Mulan telling herself "get off the roof, get off the roof" right before it blows up.
might not be the animation your thinking of but check out the 1977short, "wizard of speed and time" live action stop motion musical, one man team, need i say more? movie of same name on youtube with his blessing about it and the story behind its making
Yay! I love this movie. Mulan was always one of my favorite Disney princesses and the music is so good. 💖
Edit: The Halloween after the movie came out my cousin and I both unknowingly dressed as her. Except she wore her matchmaker dress and I wore her army uniform just because I loved how brave she was. She was definitely inspiring for me as a kid. Especially compared to other Disney princesses. My other favorite is Pocahontas, partially because I'm Native American but also because she was equally brave and stood up for what she believed in. I'd love to see a reaction to it as well.
Disney had to change the rules for who could be a Disney princess just so Mulan could qualify. She's not born or married into royalty, so they added "great act of heroism" as a qualification. Also Mulan I believe is the only princess who has killed anybody, let alone thousands.
Tiana technically kills Facilier
yesss my fav princess childhood movie, came out the year i was born (1998) and we used to watch it every christmas (random tradition i know)
I could quote this movie from beginning to end, without shame. This was one of my favourite movies growing up, and Mushu DEFINITELY ranks high in my fav disney Character list...
Mulan is by far my favorite disney movie 🧡 Also, you guys should really check out Midsommar if you haven't already! Such a good movie. It's made by the same guy who made hereditary which was also a masterpiece of a movie.
there is a reaction of Hereditary in their channel ☺️
@@maquiavelich I know, that's why i was recommending Midsommar. I think that they would enjoy it.
We’ve seen that too
Midsommar was BORING!! 🥱
@@knockoutking3764 It's not the traditional horror and isn't supposed to be. I love it, probably because i'm Swedish lol. But to each their own i guess.
Someone at Fan Expo asked Ming-Na Wen what it was like working with Eddie Murphy. She said to this day she has still not met him. 😦
This is my favorite Disney Princess movie, I can watch it over and over.
Mulan and Moana have the same spirited grandmother.
My favorite Disney "princess"
This is definitely one of my favorites! Love this movie!
For the past 20 something years, I cannot get down to business without wanting to defeat the Huns. To a point where my boss stopped his "Let's get down to business" catchphrase before each meetings because he got tired of hearing me answering "To defeat, the huuuuns". He stopped after I pulled a prank on him and I got my whole team to watch the movie. So on a Friday morning , during a zoom meeting, he clapped his hands together and said "All right, so let's get down to business" and all 9 of us started singing "To defeat the huns, did they send me daughters, when I asked for sooooons?". He just hung his head and started laughing.
I love my team
" no matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it "
❤
10:49 - "that sword is made to be hard to grab it."
26:24 - Mulan with fan : "Hold my sake..."
This is my favorite comment 😂😂
that's one of my favorite parts actually lol, the fact that she grabbed it with her fan always amazed me. Not only does it show ingenuity, it's the perfect showcase of how badass it can be to be a woman and a warrior, the fan being so traditionally feminine yet she used it as a weapon.
@@whitenoisereacts 😉
30:52 Ahh, so nice to hear you appreciate the "Decision" montage. I love it so so much. Gets me in the feels every time.
Mulan is my favorite disney movie ever, i'll never get tired of it! amazing reaction as always
I remember when this movie released, we just learned Mulan poem(Ballad) from school. It was fun to watch this movie and compare it with the original story :P
-Can you stay for dinner
-Can you stay for ever ?
Always cracks me up
They NEED to make more movies like this! All the symbolism and detail is amazing. If you notice you aren't able to see a clear reflection of her until she looks into the sword. And if you look, when she's going to get her horse, she mouths 'its me' in Chinese to him because he doesn't recognize her. It's all so amazing!!! Aannndd Mulan was a real warrior who remained in the army for years before they found out she was a girl!
YAY! Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies along with Tarzan and Pocahontas! Would like to see your reactions to those as well!
Ahh, some of my favourite RUclipsrs watching one of my favourite films! Glad you both enjoyed it so much!
Late addition to the comments, but the reason for that blade shape (called a flamberge) is actually due to the more severe wounds it causes. A straight blade is an easy wound to close. Not for this one. It creates one that does more damahe going in and out, as well as more difficult to sew up.
Mulan is one of my all time favorite Disney movies another is the little mermaid and the little mermaid 2 return to the sea!
A fun fact to note is that the Hun leader didn't recongize that Mulan was a woman and only adresses her as the solider from the mountian that's because the women of the huns were soliders and warriors like the men... fun fact from other reactors comments sections who have reacted to this movie... and one i find even cooler!
I love this switch on your channel! It’s a refreshing change!
Probably my favorite disney movie. And of course, the legendary Lea Salonga singing Reflection is fantastic. Really, all of the songs are fantastic.
the voice actress for mulan did an amazing job as well!
Biggest mood drop in Disney history when they reach that village
In the lake scene where Mulan is bathing and tells Yao, Ling and Chien-Po that she doesn't want to take Yao anywhere, the German translation is: "Come on, Ping. We will show him!" and Mulan says: "I don't want to show anything to anyone here." which I highly enjoyed.
Usually, I like the original versions far more, but that was brilliantly translated.
In french, it's something like that :
Ling : " I believe Ping and I can take it.
Mulan : I don't want to take it. I leave you. "
Don't forget "and has to pull a Lara Croft move..." "...und eine Lara Croft Nummer abziehen muss!" in the german version
@@BlackCroft666
What?! Lara Croft? That was in the German version.
Shan-Yu wasn't surprised that Mulan was a girl because the Huns actually allowed women to fight in their armies and sometimes even lead them.
Mulan and aladdin totally my top disney fav
There are actually two music cues for the sequence where Mulan prepares to leave home and take her father's place. Both work but in different ways with each being on different Mulan soundtrack/score albums. You may be able to find the alternate track on youtube. Outside of his score for The Great Train Robbery, ,this is my second favorite Jerry Goldsmith score.
I know that Disney calls her a princess, but for me she isn't one, she is way betther then that, she is a fucking warrior!!!! My fave female protagonist in Disney's movies
Disney had to change their definition of what makes a Disney Princess in order to include her because she was so popular. Born royal, marry royal, or performed an act of heroism.
But Mulan was indeed an icon growing up.
They technically do include her
Most of the Disney princesses are hella strong tho. Putting Mulan above them just reeks of sexism. Even tho some are heavily flawed, like Ariel the obsessed anthropologist, all of them are pretty awesome and flaws aren’t bad things if we can learn from them. And I kinda think it’s sad ppl will put down the girls who aren’t full on action heroes like Mulan. even Moana (while she’s physically capable, most of her abilities comes to a more intelligent pursuit of way finding and her empathy and kindness is what saves the day) and girls like Cinderella are strong w/o having to rely on physical strength. Cinderella especially, who is a domestic abuse survivor, is out down just cuz she wasn’t able to escape herself in a society which has taken all her inherited family wealth and given it to ppl who abuse her. That latter one is especially rooted in the need for ppl to victim blame.
So I feel like “princess” is just a blanket term for girls w/ power, and that in of itself is just about treating them as role models whom they should aspire to be like, strong girls who make mistakes but can be smart and strong. While some aren’t as “strong”, like Aurora, it’s cuz originally the brand only had literal princesses, but then expanded once they started telling stories about girls who obtained titles that weren’t of royalty.
I'd love to see you two reacting to more of this stuff too!
I love this movie! Fun fact, Robert D San Souci was a family friend, he is the one who made the children’s book (based on the myth) that the movie is based on. Also I straight up chopped my hair off in one motion as a kid bc I was obsessed with the scene where she does it with a sword - it was not a good look for me 😂
thats cool you do animation! what kinds of influences and styles do you do? Also, the reason the great stone dragon can't be woken, is because when Mulan took the sword, and her fathers place, she took the dragon spirit with her. You can see the dragon imagery around the Fa home is all the same as the stone dragon in it's design.
Mulan was always my favorite Disney "princess"
aaahhh another one of my favourites, cant wait to watch!
Fun fact. Although this is based on a true story the Hans were actually the good guys. The imperialists came in and stole the Hans’s land and then built the wall to keep them out. Any time they tried to go over the wall they were killed. There land was stolen and they were killed for it. Although the movie doesn’t actually show this, it’s still one of my fav Disney movies and mulan is my fav Disney princess.
Well in the real story it wasn't the Huns was it? Wasn't it the Rourans?
@@whitenoisereacts yes I just checked! The real Hun empire originated somewhere in Rome? They were said to be a nomadic group but also said to be savages? I was reading about how there was a small point in time where it was rumored that they harassed the northern borders of China for a short period but it’s not a fact. Maybe that’s around the time that mulan took place but it’s only speculation. But yes it was the Rouran who were way weaker than most of the nomadic groups back then. I also read that they only used the Huns because they were the only nomadic group in the area at the time besides the mongols. History is confusing. Thanks for correcting lol.
this film is fantastic, both animation and story. I also wholeheartedly agree with James about the music in Mulan's hair cutting scene, it's great and captures the feeling so well!
Cool reaction. Really like watching u guys. You should watch "Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle stop Cafe" A chickflick with Kathy Bates and a little human flesheating...
That movie is a classic and such a masterpiece ♡
Omg yesss please!!
That smash cut from the song to the burnt village always hits hard cause "Girl worth fighting for" so fun.
The grandma is the real mvp of this movie. Hehe 😎👵🏼
This movie is great on so many levels. The grandma is my favorite character.
Great reaction yet again. Excited for The Iron Giant!
I remember yelling the lyrics to “I’ll make a man out of you” all the time as a little kid lol. This movie is definitely one of my favourites still. Grandma was definitely one of my favourite characters. Also The Iron Giant was made by the guy who did the Incredibles, so you know that’s quality. I still cry at the end of the movie whenever I watch it ngl.
I wonder who shot the cannon mushu 🐉 or the cricket 🦗 lol, that part always got me 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mushu blaming the cricket lmao
Thank you guys for this video today because it helped me have something to do and take my mind off of things, because I'm in Louisiana like in the center of Hurricane Ida so yeah. Thanks James and Ninetailedbrush.
Stay safe brother!!
