I think this is the type of film that is if you are a woman/girl you will absolutely love. I don't want to tell you the story because it will just wreck it for you but i think it is great value for money. I think as disney has developed they have reached out into other areas in the world and it's wonderful to see other cultures and how they live. The songs are great, infact I bought the book to play on the piano they were that good, and was tempted to buy the soundtrack. Eddie Murphy plays Mushu the little dragon and just brings in so many little jokes that make you laugh. The graphics are brilliant and there is so much vivid colour that brings the screen alive. The characters are so individual and like nothing I have seen before, it outshines alot of disneys latest films.You can watch it over and over again without getting bored. Overall anyone can watch this film and enjoy but children of any age will love this, just try it. The basic plot is that a young girl - Mulan - is very accident prone and can never please her strict father. When the war starts her father is called upon to fight, her father is 'quite old' and has a limp. So as each family has to send a male she steps in and dresses up as a male soldier. And with her trusted guardian - mushu (eddie murphy) she embarks on many adventures trying to learn how to fight. She is firstly hated by the instructor and has to prove herself. She ends up going to war and her ill experienced group overcome the enourmous amount of huns. In the end there is a celebration of the end of the war but the city is attacked by huns and the emperor is under threat and eventually she saves the day and gets the man of her dreams. Don't want to give it all away although people have suggested including the plot which i think spoils the fun!

I like the film too. It'd be nice if you wrote a bit about the plot in your review, so people knew what kind of thing it was about.
