Mulan: Special Edition

Did you know that you can watch Mulan in Mandarin Chinese?  The Mulan 2-Disc Special Edition DVD has English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin language tracks.  We watched it recently.  The last time I had seen it was in the movie theater a decade ago.  I had forgotten what a great story it is--it almost made me cry. 

The Huns have invaded China, somehow crossing over the Great Wall.  Their fearsome leader, Shan-Yu, wants to take over China. 

Meanwhile, Mulan's family is setting her up for a visit with the matchmaker to find a suitable match for her, to bring honor to her family.  Unfortunately, Mulan makes a mess of things.  Then, Mulan's disabled father is called upon to join the Imperial Army to fight the Hans, but Mulan secretly sneaks away and goes into battle to take his place. 

Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen) is accompanied by Cri-Kee the lucky cricket and Mushu the tiny dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy), as she finds a way to bring honor to her family in a non-traditional way. 

Great movie!  Although the Huns can be pretty scary for young kids. {tobuy}
