Shan-Yu was the only one who didn't get shocked at Mulan being a woman. He doesn't doubt her when she says she was the one who sent the cannon to kill his army. He calls her "the soldier from the mountain". Mongolian women weren't looked down on as much as Chinese women. He didn't care that she was a woman.
Yeah lmao he was like “who cares if she’s a woman, she just destroyed my army”
All these years of watching and loving Mulan since childhood, I never noticed that. Thank you for the fact!! This makes the movie even cooler than it already was 😃
The only great man in this movie. And then he had to be such a bad villain. Life sucks.
@@timefliesaway999 great man? shan yu??? he had beliefs that align with ours now but that alone doesnt make him a great man lol he massacred a whole damn village
@@MayumiSaegusaShiba I think what was meant by "great man" was actually "feminist".
Mulan has the highest kill count of any Disney princess 😂
And it isn't even, 'acsidently falling to deaths'😌
And now shes an intergalactic bounty hunter ;)
To be fair, not many Disney princesses went to war.
@@Raquelgrl3271 don’t forget she’s a SHIELD agent.
While you were studying the comb,
I was learning the canon.
The reason why the Great Stone Dragon didnt wake up is bacause once Mulan took her father's sword and armor she, symbolically, became the guardian of her family.
Ahh that makes sense, thank you!
Oooohhh. I had no idea!
yessss. Mulan IS the Great Stone Dragon! You can see tons of dragon symbolism all around her.
🤯 I never thought of that
I never knew that!
Someone made a great comment once on a Mulan reaction video. The little girl that owned the doll was the girl worth fighting for.
I’m blown away by how not obvious this is for so many other people 😀
currently on a binge of [re]watching Mulan reactions and I actually left a similar comment on Dylan is in Trouble's reaction :)
@@kosmikos_ I love him
@@ashleymoreno3140 me too!
Ever noticed how that was the last song sung in this movie? :D
I quote 'dishonour on you, dishonour on your cow' far too much, what a movie
It’s so good tbf 😂
It’s a famous slang curse in China. I love seeing it in the translated Chinese novels I read XD
Same and a few years ago, I finally hit someone with it who actually had a cow as it turned out 😂
12:22
I glad you were paying attention.
The war tactics throughout this scene are never noticed.
When they’re ambushed, the first person to get shot at it Shang, who is the leader. If you kill the leader, then the rest of the army can be less organized.
Next, the Huns are shooting fire arrows at the canons, intentionally trying to destroy them.
Once Shang and the group fire their canons at the archers, they only have one canon left. It’s no coincidence that Shan Yu then does a full cavalry charge because he’s confident that Shang’s group wasted their last canons on the archers.
The way i am today years old
And Mulan got the best of Shan Yu by using the last cannon on the mountain, using the snow as an avalanche to her advantage. Which pissed off Shan Yu even more cause he didn’t think there was any soldier who can outsmart him and his army.
I definitely think Mulan made the more strategic choice to cause the avalanche. Taking out Shan Yu might leave the rest of the army disorganized but probably not enough to keep them from wiping out the entire imperial regiment. And that's assuming the Huns don't have a clear-cut, strict chain of command. They may look rough compared to China's soldiers, but they were successfully making progress through the country, winning battles, and they made it all the way to the capital. That speaks to Shan Yu's leadership, but it also shows how well-disciplined the rest of his soldiers are. Causing the avalanche may not have killed Shan Yu but it got rid of, what? 99% of his army? Kept everyone else in Mulan's regiment alive. It was a bit risky, but damn, if it wasn't badass!
The moment the army sees the destroyed village is amazing. They are singing about a girl they believe they are fighting for, one they can pursue romantically. But when they see the ruined village, they are greeted with the truth of war. And at 11:19 they find her, the girl worth fighting for...a little girl too weak to defend herself from the Huns.
Kinda weird, but I felt like in the scene where they come across the ransacked town, these animators managed to get across the idea of a body-strewn battleground, without drawing any actual bodies. Really haunting.
The thing is there are bodies if you look well. Its funny it took me 16 years to notice them, and a lot of my friends didn't notice either. Our brain self censors
True, it hits harder each time I watch the film. It’s definitely in my top ten favorite Disney films ever
Mulan has to be the most legendary female Disney warrior to date.
I know
And the only Disney Princess to get her title from Disney because she performed a great act of heroism, not because she was royalty or married to royalty.
I would argue the most badass Disney warrior, period
I would argue the most legendary female warrior from all fiction. Mulan is a huge icon beyond just the Disney film, and The Ballad of Mulan is a part of the Chinese school system the way Shakespeare is for the American school system.
Kida from Atlantis was hella legendary too tbh but she didnt have as much of an impact as Mulan
Honestly the emperor should be a matchmaker. He was like: "get that girl"
He sets up his daughters in the sequel, too (though I think that was just his job lol)
@@lindseysquire8417 *granddaughters
He looked and said "I ship it."
@@timefliesaway999 r/ConfidentlyIncorrect lol.
They were his daughters, look it up.
@@lindseysquire8417 his daughters didnt seem all that happy about it, but back in the day it was what parents did, especially royalty
After realizing the destroyed village the song gets cut off and there are no more songs in the movie. I just think that is cool because it shows the severe and serious tone of war.
Something I rarely see anyone talk about is the directing of this film, which is possibly my favorite part. The opening scene is brilliantly done, the abrupt end to A Girl Worth Fighting For is devastating, and the scene where Shan Yu's men kill the messenger is just *chef's kiss*.
That bit where Shan Yu says how many does it take to send a message sends shivers down my spine 😬😂
And the fact that after a girl worth fighting for the movie becomes more serious and there is no more songs
Agreed!!!!
Fun fact: Mulan’s grandmother is voiced by cartoon voice acting legend June Foray (1917-2017). She had the longest voice acting career in history. She was best known for being the voice of Rocky from Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Granny from every Looney Tunes incarnation, from the original cartoons, to Space Jam, to The Looney Tunes Show. She passed away in 2017, just a few months before what would have been her 100th birthday.
Also, the Matchmaker is voiced by Professor Sprout from Harry Potter, and the guy with the checklist is voiced by Mr. Ping from Kung Fu Panda.
I didn’t realize that was Professor Sprout!!!! That’s hilariously awesome!!! 😂😂😂
Welchy: Hopefully he gets treated more with respect.
Mushu: Cow.
Hahaah 😂
"Dishonour on you, dishonour on your cow..."
Khan is absolutely my favorite Disney horse. What animal sidekick runs to you in an avalanche and is ready to break a man’s bones to protect his family? My boy, Khan 👏 his loyalty and courage unmatched 🙌 A top tier good boy!
theres a theory that Khan is actually Mulans 2nd Guardian czcams.com/video/3hopf2YOxBY/video.html
its really intresting
patiently waiting for him to watch Howl's moving castle or any other Studio Ghibli film
Would love that!
Agreed😄 they are true magic in film more
OMG pleaseeee
My favorite SG film--though The Secret World of Arietty holds a special place in my heart.
Indeed, that would be awesome! I have a feeling that he'll like and be shocked on "Mononoke Hime". Truth must be said: deep life lessons, gorgeous animation, amazing storytelling and shocking, like really REALLY shocking.
“Hopefully he gets treated with more respect.”
LMAOOO Still haven’t forgotten how Belle’s father blamed poor Phillip lmao
My favorite line in the movie:
Emperor: "No matter how much the wind howls, the mountain can not bow to it."
It's just amazing!
Dude poetically called him a blowhard.
Ha!
Aang: watch me
But then the emperor did bow to Mulan, so powerfull
I got like 69 your wellcome
No lie, that iPhone alarm edit actually did scare me. I felt the sudden urge to find whatever app or device is making that sound and make it stop.
Same 😂
I heard that replaced alarm and just stared off into the distance while anger and disappointment slowly filled my heart. So mission accomplished!
I actually thought it was my alarm, almost had a heart attack
Your giggling was adorable.
Ahaha aww thank you :)
The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all
“Be a horse”
-Welchy 2021
😂😭
This story is based off an actual Chinese legend. Sadly, this movie didn’t do as well in China because of the way they did Mushu. I still love this movie regardless
I read the actual poem. Mulan and the emperors daughter become the two lady generals in the country.
but what was the problem with mushu? Because he was more a comic relief ?
@@mrsfahrenheit nah it was inaccurate, disrespectful and unconventional.
There are actually a lot of people in China who like Mushu and there was a lot political behind the scenes factors that made it not do so well there. But yeah many didn't get the american style humor.
@Ksjs Jdjdb She did "Hua Mulan was a Chinese warrior woman who lived during the Northern and Southern dynasties, which was between 420 and 589 CE"
11:35 My heart always breaks at this bit. We have no idea if Shang has ever seen the aftermath of a battle before. Even if he has, it still slaps you in the face every time. And then he is told that his father is dead. He accepts the helmet, and goes off by himself to mourn. His soldiers are busy with other things, so he is left undisturbed.
Until Mulan comes over to try and comfort him. It's instinct on a female's part. We see someone in pain, and we want to offer what comfort we can. We want to make things better for that person. A burden shared is a burden lightened.
But Shang doesn't know that Mulan isn't anything but Ping, a soldier under his command. She wants to comfort him, make things just a bit better...but she winds up denying him the opportunity to fully say good-bye. Because he is the Captain, he has to show a strong front to those under his command, no matter what he is feeling right then. She could no more stand back and watch him mourn alone than she could watch her father leave for war, and he could not deny the men under his command a strong selfless leader. Both are led by an intrinsic part of their personalities, and it results in Shang having to leave much sooner than he needed, and it hurts to watch every single time. I've always wondered if he ever went back afterwards to finish his good-byes, with or without Mulan by his side.
I never thought of that before. Now I can appreciate that scene even more.😦
The grandma is the best character to me lol she's hilarious
"I'm the village Crazy Lady. That's my job." Must be a grandma thing. XD
The person who sang “Reflection” is actually a world renowned broadway singer, Lea Salonga from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Lea is one of the most iconic voices of Disney
She's just perfection 😍
And also the singing voice of Jasmine! I love Lea.
She’s fantastic as the dying mother in Les Miserables
Wait that was her?? Oh wow. I've seen her as Belle in Beauty and the Beast when I was like 5 years old. Amazing 😮
I highly recommend “Atlantis” the animated movie it’s incredible!
Seconded. Some absolutely stunning animation in there. Fun story. Great voice acting. And some seriously funny banter.
Hell yes! It's a great movie!
Almost quit at the iPhone alarm 😭😭😭
Nooooo 😭😂
The man really said “rice is just elite” and I burst out laughing because random but FACTS! 😂😘
8:01 as someone who woke up to that all semester and just finally got to summer ready for a break from that sound, that playing right there scarred the living shit out of me lmao.
This movie was great from story to the amazing Song Make a Man Out of You. Mulan becoming the Guardian of the Faa family when she made her decision in the rain while she was sitting on the Great Stone Dragons statue, like the Dragon decided to pass the mantle down to her because she was worthy of the honor.
I love the moment of "screw the gifts, I'm just happy you're safe"
Oh and I cannot watch the reflection song without getting tearful lol.
That's how good Mulan is. STRAIGHT INTO THE MOVIE, but paused straight away as well with the intro cuz honestly its a beautiful way to open the movie
Him: “Be a horse!”
Me: “So I’m watching Spirit tonight, how about you?”
You literally triggered my PTSD from high school with that alarm ✋🏽💀
I haven't watched you for a long time and I just realized that I missed your accent 😭
Lea Salonga did a great job doing Mulan's singing voice just like what she did with Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, also Ming Na-Wen, the speaking voice did a great job!
Yesss! I love this movie. One of my favorite Disney films next to tangled!
Agreed!!
The renaissance era and revival era are iconic. Hope he does Pocahontas next.
@@OpticalSorcerer I love this comment because I literally just got back from the Renaissance festival😂
@@KXCREATEZ Then you understand on a whole 'nother level.
"I hope you've been having a good week"
I've been potty training a toddler all week so.... yeah. I need some laughs, too.
I feel for you, I’ve been helping my brother with my niece 🤦🏼♀️ big tip treats help 😂
Oh girl you and me both 😂
Oof. Been there three times. Good luck! ❤️
@@suzieq3604 thanks. This is actually my 3rd kid, so definitely not my first rodeo.
It's just exhausting because he wants to sit on the potty every 5 minutes and he demands an audience and it's like... "Dude, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I have other things to do."
As a full time nanny I felt this in my soul 😂
Welchy: I love Asian culture!
Me: *looks at map* which one? lol
As long it's on the East side :D
@@GrimaldoH on the Far East especially :D
I mean true. East side of the Earth, or Far East from California 😶 I guess we all are out of context like Welchy 👁👄👁
Lmao I get that
@@GrimaldoH I mean I live in Europe, so my point of view is from the middle :DDD
When the movie gets dark
No one:
Welchy: Well.....that's just depressing😶
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love love love Mulan, the fierceness 🙏
I love the Asian culture very much as well 🌟
One of my favorite animated films. In my game of Zelda Breathe of the Wild, I caught a black and white horse that I named Dishonor ( and my pure white one is called Maximus).
9:41 I cracked up he had no clue the dude was gonna murder everyone in the little girl's vilage 😭
"Notes: Sings while training..."
You misspelled "Sings one of the best Disney songs ever while training" 😜
I developed such a crush during, "make a man out of you," as a child on a cartoon of a grown man.
And another note- this was the first Disney princess movie as a little girl, looking back, that truly made me feel empowered.
Mulan, the best Disney princess
4:17 i love that every person i’ve seen react to this said something along the lines of shut up to this.
The girl worth fighting for being the girl whose doll they find...so moving...
Always gets ruined a little for me when I remember Donnie Osmond was the singing voice for Shang-Yu 😂
i thik you mean Li Shang?
YEEEES one of my childhood FAVES! Also "Reflection" awakening something in every LGBT+ kid 😭 ✊🏻. Hits the feels every time.
Also if u want to see the actual Chinese influences etc for this check out Xiran Jay Zhao's recap of it, they've also done one for Kung Fu Panda and Avatar the Last Airbender's various influences
When you sneak down stairs for a snack at 2am, and the microwave beeps and the kettle is suddenly 5x louder...
"Now all of China knows you're here,"
Not my joke
still funny😂
I’ve been waiting for this reaction! ❤️👏🏻 Yess WELCHY
:D
You asked why Cricket is lucky at the snowy pass? Because, if Mushu hadn't accidentally fired off that rocket, the soldiers would have kept marching, oblivious to the archers above them, until they were solidly ambushed in the valley between the archers and hundreds of Hun riders. As it was, the archers were forced to fire while the soldiers were still out of effective range, giving them a chance to cover and counter, destroying the enemy long-range forces, and forcing the riders to charge across an open plain towards the soldiers armed with rockets.
FLAPPY BIRD!!!! OMG literally everyone plays that at my shool whenever we are in the computer room, it's soooo fun!
(Also slightly aggressive reminder to PLEASE watch 'Big Hero 6' because as I've said multiple times, it's *amazing* and you need to watch it! )
That iphone alarm literally scared me 😭😅
"Be a horse"
-oh i wish i was
😂😂
u should watch The Emperor's New Groove! :D
Would you consider watching 'FernGully: The Last Rainforest' at some point? It's a classic that isn't super well known but it's a good movie. :>
One of my favourite ever movies, this is so funny! Mushu is the best! "You're tiny." "I'm travel sized for your convenience". Hahaha! I love love love this movie!
"Get off the roof, get off the roof, get off the roof!"
Could you do Mulan 2 next? I love it, despite some complaints.
Glad to find another person that loves it! It's got some truly great lines.
"When one's heart is overfilled with joy, some may spill from the eyes."
"We were just admiring the Mudan tree. It's so lovely this year. the blossoms reach fir the sunlight above, while the roots reach for the rainwater below. Sun and rain. So different, yet only by working together do they create harmony and life."
"Teamwork isn't about ego, it's about WE go."
I love Mulan 2! ❤
Since you like animated horses, you should watch Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Also, I saw Mulan on the big screen when I was 8, and let me tell you, the Huns charging down the mountain looked _incredible._ :D
If you really love horses in animation, might I suggest you check out Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Absolutely beautiful DreamWorks Animation, with a fantastic, moving plot, and a stellar soundtrack. You'll love it.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! I love your reactions and Mulan is also my favourite disney princess she's so cool, im sorry if i said it wrong i dont write english good 🖤
Aww thank you! And don’t worry you’re English is great 😊
@@Welchy im still learning to speak and i keep using your accent haha
This is a really great movie. One of the best cinematically made movies in its time.
Also, Man out of You, is the best song in that entire movie.
You should totally watch The Hunchback of Notre dame. One of Disney's darkest and greatest movies ever
That's a falcon, not an eagle. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a peregrine since they're the most identifiable type of falcon. You can tell a falcon from most other types of birds of prey because of their long, narrow, pointed wings. Hence their name in falconry being "longwings."
I love this film! I'm so glad you watched it and you're nearly on 20k! Congrats! :D
Ahhh thank you Jess :D
@@Welchy Of course. :3
I love that you are watching those classic 2d disney movies, I recommend to watch Atlantis because it's good and very underrated. Also I think you would like the movies from studio Laika, especially Kubo and the Two Strings, since you mentioned that you love Asian culture and this movie is set in Japan.
The scene where she uses the fan is also (as far as I know, don't quote me on it) based on actual fighting techniques. In japanese it's called Tessenjutsu, the art of fighting with war fans, and in China the fan is used in Kung Fu.
That iPhone alarm sound legit made me jump
I came back to this video for:
“A little girl will be missing her doll. We should return it to her.”
“Aw, how nice!”
Hilarious!
17:05 it took me way too long to notice Ling's look of confusion to Yao when he pulls out an orange and a banana as his boobs😂😂
7:31 the sound effect is bowling pins all falling over lol
Space isn't very far away. You can see lots of things from space. Mapping satellites do it all the time.
Great reaction! I’d love to see you watch Hunchback of Notre Dame
I feel so fortunate to have seen movies like this when they first released in theaters. It was so worth it.
9:41 "what a nice bad guy" lol 💜
"death by fan?"
I'm sorry, have you heard of the Kyoshi warriors?
I watched Mulan so many times as a kid I could recite the whole dialogue and songs by memory and yet this movie always makes me laugh. My favorite part is when Mulan kills an entire army on her own.
I love when reactors comment on the hard ass beat when Mulan cuts her hair and bop to I’ll make a man out of you 😂 it sparks great joy
I absolutely love your reactions! Please keep up the great work!
Yay its here :D Keep up all the disney reactions 😍 Maybe also some DreamWorks? 👀
YEESS!!!
Thank you for doing Mulan,one of my absolute favorite Disney/Disney Princess movies
I love you and your vids so much❤❤
Have a wonderful day 💫
Ahhh thank you so much 😅 have a wonderful day too!!
Welchy: uploads new video
Made my entire day just by watching you giggling and laughing uncontrollably.
I love your reactions!😊👍🏻
Thank you Kathy!! 😆😊
The Hun army: *appears*
Welchy: .0.
16:32 AHAHAHAHA- OMFG, I NEVER NOTICED THAT!? IN ALL MY YEARS OF WATCHING THIS MOVIE, I NEVER NOTICED THAT!?!?
I got chills when you bowed. Brilliant. It's a great bow too.
Lovely reaction! You make me want to watch the movie again :)
I have ridden a Elephant, but have never ridden a horse.
9:42
That had no business being that funny...😂😂 i was like OH NO
I cackled too 😂
Seriously recommend Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. Favorite childhood movie
The “never seen a black and white before?” Is an American reference to police cars
Oh my gosh I remember Flappy Bird and Temple run those games were amazing
I remember making my dad take me to see this in theaters and it was amazing! One of my favorites.
My favorite Disney movie. I've been to each single one with my uncle since Hercules came out in theatres when I was 4, and to this day Mulan is still my favorite Disney Lady. She was so relatable and had such a huge impact on me growing up. Nothing but love for her and this movie ❤
I just watched a trailer that made me cry and i clicked on this video and as soon as you’re started talking i started smiling. How does that work? Brain tell me why hearing a scottish accent makes you so happy.
"I'll make a man out of you" is one of my favourite Disney songs ever
This was one of my favourite movies growing up, she is an icon
3:54 Disney back and still are my Go To. I remember hearing this song on the radio😅 I grew up on any Disney movie I hade on dvd or on Netflix, Disney+ Didn’t exist until like 2017 I think or 2019.
Amazing reaction, also the damn grandma at the end 😂😂it was so funny
