No
you should watch "Ella Enchanted". its iconic lol
I would be careful with the 'mime' comment. This WAS the beauty tradition and standard in East Asia.
I like the theory that the reason the Great Stone Dragon doesn't wake up is because it already did. Mulan is the great dragon that protects her family. Also, Shan Yu is not surprised that Mulan is a woman because the Huns had female warriors in their army!
I never even realized that the Huns had female warriors.
aaa this just gave me goosebumps
@@cath.is.an.erizen despite everything. The Huns were advanced in many more ways compared to counterparts. They just stretched their empire too thin.
That’s been the theory I’ve always loved
Thank you so much for these little interesting pieces of info! I didn't know and they make this movie even better in my opinion. 💜
Shan-Yu was the only one who didn't judged her based on her gender. When Mulan revealed herself to be the soldier, he didn't say, "A woman defeated my army!? Impossible!," He just acknowledge her as the "Soldier From the Mountain"
Yup because the Mongolian Hun army also had female soldiers strong female leaders and powerful women warriors.
It's historically accurate.
I've always loved that detail ❤
"A girl worth fighting for" is the last song in the movie because immediately after it stops, they reach the destroyed village, which turns out to be the village of the little girl who owned the doll.
The message couldn't be any louder: that little girl is the real girl worth fighting for.
Well that would be cool if it was true but it isent, we are men reprised is the last song
@@leguan278 "a girl worth fighting for" is the last song sung by the characters, "make a man out of you reprise" is simply sung in the background/chorus and not by the characters, so technically "a girl worth fighting for" is the last song
Mulan was her own girl worth fighting for.
The scene where the whole city bows to Mulan actually did make me cry.
Fun fact: Mulan is the deadliest Disney Princess with the highest body count just from that avalanche scene.
Damn right
She has the highest nody count but as far as danger goes, if elsa became a villain, everyone would be fucked.
@@madih4586 hopefully, no one else tries to test her...LOL
@vegaspink8053 LOL. Plus Repunzel from what she's capable of magic-wise in her series, would be very dangerous if she sings that evil song that causes legit decay of people and everyone around her that's opposite of her healing song.
What evil song?? @@madih4586
Mulan’s singing voice is the legendary Filipino singer Lea Salonga. She also originated the role of Miss Saigon’s Kim in West End and Broadway and the singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin.
She has also Played both Eponine and Fantine in Les Misérables. Probably one of the most talented vocalists of all time.
She played her voice in the a ring parts but the singing voice is Christina Agulara
@@roxysdg334 No. the singing voice in the animation is Lea Salonga. That’s a fact. The song Reflection was released as a single and that version was sang by Christina Aguilera. Stop butting in and “correcting” people when you are 100% factually wrong.
@@roxysdg334 no Christina only sang the cover of reflection. This is definitely Lea Salonga.
She’s so iconic. I’ve seen her live a few times and yep she’s amazing
The jarring transition from girl worth fighting for to the ravaged village and battleground gives me goosebumps every single time I watch without fail. They completely capture the harsh, raw reality of war and the lives of innocent people it destroys just a second after all of the soilders where singing and joking about having a girl "worth fighting for" to then suddenly see that this is what the fighting is doing, just cinematic genius
Also if you noticed there's no new songs and only a mini reprise of be a man from that moment to the end of the movie
It's also reminding them of the real girl worth fighting for:
The little girl with her doll who never should've been put in the middle of any of this.
@@videohistory722I love how you go to reaction videos and put these cool facts from Disney movies lololol. You comment under every frozen reaction too
Reminds me of fighting in Afghanistan. How quickly you go from joking around on a hike to crossing over the ridgeline and spotting a burning village, corpses piled in the square.
Mulan is just such a BEAUTIFUL and empowering movie. She always stood up for herself and didn't rely on a man to save her.
And without belittling her male counterpart. He's a great character that helped her become stronger.
Yep. And she didn’t sneak into the army to try to show up men, or to prove anything to anybody. She did it to save her family.
meanwhile the _actual empowered woman tailor-made to inspire young women_ was saved by literal plot armor.
hell, *the antagonist hand-waved into existence to give the main character a purpose* had a more interesting development!
And overall she did it while still being a girl and not saying "i need to man" show don't tell folks
And if it was made now people would still call it woke
I'l Make A Man Out of You is definitely the catchiest song in this it's so good. Shout out to Reflection as well, so beautifully sung and love the emotion behind it.
I was just listening to it ❤️👏🏾
Two of the best Disney songs ever in my opinion. 💕
I listen to the first song, on spotify, all the time and the pocohantas soundtrack :)
@@AudieStrange I dunno how I came across it, but somehow my family ended up with the cd for the Pocahontas soundtrack when it came out. I used to listen to that final instrumental (the one where she runs to the edge of the cliff to say goodbye to john smith) all the time. Such a beautiful arrangement.
@@melindamercier6811 Every time I listen to colors of the wind, I get goosebumps.
Mulan honouring the little girl in the destroyed village is so powerful. Also that it comes right after “Girl worth fighting for”
I absolutely howled at the Adele and Kate Upton guesses and then the stunned disbelief. And the bird shitting in his hand. I died.
"How did she magically get so tough?"
2 answers to that one. First, determination. When Shang tried to send her home, she suddenly had something to prove. Second... training montage. That's reason enough for most movies lol.
Forever my favorite Disney movie!
And yes, i still cry every time when they bow to her 😩😭💞
I cry every time she’s reunited with her dad and he tells her the greatest gift is having her as a daughter 😭
Same. The bows always get me 😭
The movie version of Reflection was sang by Lea Salonga, same person who sang A Whole New World from Aladdin. The pop/radio version was sang by Christina Aguilera. She also sang the recent soundtrack Brave, Loyal & True from the live action movie.
Omfg she did Jasmine singing??? 😭 How did I not know that with these being two of my fave Disney movies ever?!?!
“I think it’s Adele” “I think it’s Kate Upton” *Rob takes 20 points of psychic damage*
As someone who has a close relationship with their dad, the scene where Mulans dad tosses the sword and crest to the side has always made me tear up without fail
Such a good film way ahead of its time in terms of breaking gender stereotypes and norms also mushu was so funny love when you guys do Disney animated films you should also do Pixar films as well there great as well loved the reaction
Yes!! Pixar films!!
Breaking gender stereotypes isn't a modern invention, getting mad and hypocritical about it is
There are tons of older works parodying gender clichés
@@whade62000 Is parodying gender cliches a way to express frustrations of them?
@@MADEbySOUL its frustrating that this film is seen as groundbreaking.
@@lampad4549 May you elaborate?
The short hair scene always make me cry cause Mulan thought she was such a burden to her family, that if someone was to die she would rather it was her and not her father 😭😭
The story of Mulan comes from a very old poem. It is debated wether the poem is based on a true story, but it's just to old to really verify. As much as I love this movie, Mulan in the poem is just so much cooler. In the poem she takes the place of her father and younger brother, serves in the military for ten years fighting many many battles and rose to the rank of general. She also was never found out, and only let people know when she retired from her post. There is a live action Mulan from Disney, but the consensus is that it isn't very good. If you want to watch a live action version I would recommend the 2009 Chinese live action rendition. It's a more accurate version of the story, and is much more action packed, and quite a bit more bloody and emotional.
wow I'll definitely check it out myself
I saw the Chinese series about Milan’s live. She was great a national hero.
Mulan's singing voice is by Lea Salonga. She also did the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. Lea is a Tony Award winner and a Filipino 🇵🇭.
I thought it was Christina Aguilera? I know she did reflection
@@jessicawakefield535 Christina Aguilera sang the OST (end credits) version. But the version sang in the movie was by Lea. It's like Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson singing Beauty and the Beast OST while Angela Lansbury sings in the movie
I didn’t see this version. I saw Spanish one….
“ It sounds like Adele-“ “KATE UPTON” I’m screaming
theres a theory out there that the reason the great stone dragon didnt 'awaken' was because it was mulan. she was the great dragon. I also remember being told that Shan Yu wasn't surprised Mulan was the warrior from the mountain because in the Hun culture women were frequently soldiers.
Did a little research... Lea Salonga is the singer. She was also the singer for Jasmine in Aladdin and was in the hit broadway play Les Miserables. What a talented person.
She also won a Tony Award for her performance in another great Broadway musical Miss Saigon, really beautiful score sung by Lea Salonga.
@@ifeelpretty5790 What a human. Didn't even realize how important she was to my childhood lol
The soundtrack song that plays when Mulan is leaving her home, gathering her father's armor and cutting off her hair is called "Haircut". It's one of my favorite songs. I work on a farm and I love listening to it during a heavy rainstorm in the greenhouses. The sound of the rain coming down on the greenhouse plastic is the perfect accompaniment for the music. It makes the song feel so much more powerful.
wholesome. ☺️
2:11 "He's a singer, right?"
😐"...Yup"
lmfao that got me good 😂
EDIT: just kidding, Bryce and Zuff very seriously stating the VA as "Adele" followed up with "Kate Upton" and Rob having to process two out of left field guesses in under one second beat the previous 💀crying
So, aside from everything else that makes the 1998 animated Mulan so great, here are some other tidbits:
1) They actually made Captain Lee Chang Bisexual. Albeit, subtly. He fell for "Ping" back when he understood him to be a man. However, he also fell for "Mulan" (as they were the same person and he liked Ping/Mulan for who they were). That's why Lee Chang is well-known for being a Bisexual icon in the LGBT community. Especially since he was a Bisexual Asian (which is even rarer).
2) The 1998 Animated Mulan is the first-ever Disney animated medium to have cross-dressing and it not be looked down upon as a joke.
3) Mulan is the only Disney Princess with a kill count in the thousands.
4) The reason Shan Yu didn't care that Mulan was a woman was because Mongolians were a matriarchal society at the time. Women were traditionally seen as Warriors/Hunters while the men were the Forgers/Gathers. So women held higher authority and power than men.
5) Shan Yu had Juandis.
Omfg rob's just speechless on how yall think that's Adele or kate upton lmaoooo
It is definitely better that you guys are reacting to a movie for the first time with at least of one of who have already seen it. If there's any questions or misinterpretations someone who has seen the movie before can clear them up, while on the other hand if someone is watching it for the first time they have fresh or different interpretations/reactions. Either way you guys are always entertaining and a joy to watch :)
I prefer it to be new to everyone 🤷🏽♀️
@@O18O me too! That’s what makes reactions so intriguing.
@@TheFairyintheFishBowlwell you have 2 others to pick from lmao I like that there’s someone that can explain something they might not have a reaction to but they should
Forgive me for not believing you guys had good childhoods without having seen this movie, I'm sorry 😭🙏🏾
It's amusing since the person who sang "reflection" was also the person who sang "a whole new world" in Aladdin, and I honestly believe you haven't seen this movie yet because of these songs, lea salonga is well recognized as a disney legend. Also, the moment where he says it's Adele but it's from 1998 is hilarious lol.
The singer was Lea Salonga, she also did the singing voice for Jasmine from Aladdin
Fun fact: Jackie Chan sang the Chinese version of I’ll Make a Man Out of You. He did a music video for it too.
Make a man out of you is one of, if not the greatest Disney song to ever exist. Absolutely iconic
Best part of the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For" is the blatant insult on Chi-Fu.
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.
Chi-Fu's stunned silence is priceless. 😁🤭😅😂🤣☠️
It's even better in the french version because Yao says " Depuis tout ce temps, elle n'a sûrement plus de dents " what can be translate by " Since all this type she probably didn't have anymore teeth " (Chi-Fu's line is the same but years in french is translate by the word " ans ")
Mulan was always one of my favorites growing up. My cousin and I even went as her for Halloween that year and didn't even know it till we saw each other lol. I went as soldier Mulan and she wore the dress from the beginning when she goes to the matchmaker. Always loved the music and humor in this too. 💕
PERFECT TIMING !! i'm on break at work and mulan is my favourite disney "princess." she's badass and so inspirational
Really needed the “is this a pigeon”/butterfly meme slowly faded in over Crickey’s introduction.
I’m also a big sucker for those big bowing scenes or massive crowds of people showing respect like at the end. I almost shed a tear.
LMFAO @29:27 robs voice was so unexpected 😹
by far the funniest movie reaction
The singing voice of Mulan is Lea Salonga, one of the most renowned Filipino singers in the industry. Fun fact: She’s the singing voice of Princess Jasmine too!! She’s the voice behind the classic, “A Whole New World” with Brad Kane who plays Aladdin. She auditioned and was hired once again to record the songs for this movie, after the major success of Aladdin. Lea was given a Disney Legend award for her amazing contributions to both movies. Aside from Disney, she’s also a Broadway legend, having played multiple roles and made history as the first Asian to do so and the first to win a Tony Award for her performances 🎉 Great reaction guys! As a fan of this movie for its Asian representation and portrayal of strong women, I’m so happy you guys loved it and finally gave this movie a chance 🤍 New subscriber here, keep up the great content!
If you're looking for what to call a character that isn't the biggest villain, but seems to cause the most obstacles to the main character than the most evil person, the word "antagonist" might help. Thank you for your reactions!
Rob as a kid jamming out to Mulan is too precious!☺ It was always Reflection for me 🥰 I would sing that at the top of my lungs! 🎙🎶😅
"I'll Make A Man Out of You", sung by '70's heartthrob Donny Osmond, is also my favorite Disney song of all time! It's actually on my music Playlist!
Can we also take a moment to realize that mushu just killed two people. Those poor souls in the fireworks tower jumped to her death because they were so scared of him. There is nothing around that tower so considering the high they are most certainly dead
Mulan has been my all time favorite Disney heroine for some time and I love when people appreciate it ❤
Growing up this was my favorite Disney “girl/princess” movie. Way ahead of its time, Still makes me cry every time.
Fun fact! I'm a history student and there was an event in which a large group of Chinese soldiers actually did dress up and claim they were palace concubines to breach their enemy's defenses
one of my favorite lines in the movie is when The leader of there Huns say " The soldier from the mountain". Meaning did not care that Mulan was a women because in Hun culture women are allowed to fight so to him Mulan really was just another soldier.
9:33 fun fact the singer who sang Mulan's Reflection is the same singer who sang Aladdin's A Whole New World as Jasmine. Her name is Lea Salonga, a Filipino broadway performer. She also performed in Les Miserables and many more iconic shows.
A great point in the movie is that Mushu couldn’t awake The Great Stone Dragon because it was ALREADY awake in Mulan, making her the keeper of her family.
I didn't even recognize that was James hong this whole time...🤯. I'm ashamed 😂 thanks, guys.
The end of Mulan in the Ballad from where the movie was based off is actually pretty sad, she doesn't die, but she doesn't get the glory either.
There are a few endings. The cynical one is that she ends up as a concubine to someone. One of the other well-known ones and most popular is that she gets through the war undiscovered, it goes well, then her old squad mates visit her and are surprised to see her due to never knowing.
@@edstella wasn’t it to the emperor so she commits suicide. I think one is she’s was pregnant during one of the wars
@@rachelchrist5961 I never heard of the pregnancy one as, given the time period, it would have been unlikely outside of a marriage that was arranged for her (as she was still living with her parents and not integrated into her husband's family and moved in with them).
so ahead of its time♥️ Mulan is one of the best Disney Princess’! This film is so monumental ✨
Mulan was a favorite of mine when it came out and it's such a great movie. My 13 year old daughter loves it and she has for forever. I'm pretty sure Mulan is her favorite princess
Mulan's singing voice is by Lea Salonga. She's also Jasmine's singing voice in Aladdin. She's a Filipino musical and vocal legend.
15:35 “these guys look like they’re from hell “ lmao that’s honestly a great description though
“So stop harassing in the comments” 😂😂😂
you guys are so funny without trying
mulan's origin has different variations, there was a short poem about her, some say that it's pure fiction from the poem, some say she really did go to war in place of her father without the dramatic saving china avalanche thing.
The voice of the Emperor was by another great actor, Pat Moratti.... He was Mr. Miyagi in the original "Karate Kid" from 1984 🙂
Who is singing?! Your guesses were CRAZY FUNNY! The incredible singing voice is the legendary Lea Salonga from Broadway's "Miss Saigon". She also did the singing voice for "A Whole New World" in "Aladdin". She is probably my all time favorite singer ever (I've been fortunate enough to hear her sing live in NYC & her voice is ANGELIC! 😇)
the singer on this is Lea Salonga she also sings in the Disney Alladin animation “ A whole new World” she also became the Miss Saigon. She is a Filipina ☺️. You can check her in youtube . She really have a Great Voice
4:48 okay but the bridgerton reaction reference 😭
Fun fact: Filipino singer Lea Salonga is the voice for Mulan’s “Reflection” and Jasmine’s “A Whole New World”
I'm pretty sure Shang started questioning his sexuality when he started to fell in love with Ping. Hahaha
"You now have a girl worth fighting for"
Nah, you guys missed it. During that song, it was cut short when they arrived at the razed village and found the doll of a little girl who had presumably killed by the Huns in their raid.
That was their girl worth fighting for.
It so feel good to watch movies with you three.. There something peaceful about it.. 🌺🌺
You guy’s are probably too young to know who Donny Osmond is but he sings I’ll make a man out of you. He had a variety show with his sister Marie. Huge teen idol in the 70’s. Such a good animated movie 😊 This was a fun reaction.
Favorite Disney movie! I rewatched it on repeat as a kid…
also Bryce saying for grandma to talk nicely to him made me laugh so hard I started coughing 😂 loved the reaction guys!!
the fire on the towers of the Great Wall of China served as communication-signals that warned the soldiers of enemy troops
This and Aladdin are my two all-time favourites!! So glad Zuff and Bryce have finally seen this ❤❤
I remember watching this as a little girl and thinking that Mulan was so cool, when I have kids I will def show them this movie
hi guys! just wanna say i found your channel a few days ago and I've been watching your reactions to my favorite tv shows and movies and it's been a blast. thank you!
The bird shit in the hand joke had me screaming 😂😝
Love this movie. You guys should do The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe!
Yes!! The Narnia movies are great
Better than the live action reboot from 2020.
“He’s just a regular cricket guys”
😂
This movie really is it. It’s so well written and clever.
Like in the song Honor to us All. They say that a girl can bring great honor in one way. By striking up a match. Well that’s exactly how Mulan beat the hun army and brought honor to her family. Love things like that!
Best Disney movie and great reaction!
Mulan is easily one of my favorite Disney movies!
Mulan could easily go back home since she was told to, but she didn’t… she make a man out of herself
I vote you guys watch Disney's Hercules next.
The reason Shan Yu (the main villain) is green becaause it's Disney's way of indicating that he is truly evil. Same with Maleficents green fire, Dr Facilier's green magic, and Lady Tremaine's green eyes.
Mulan is the Disney princess with the highest body count
I love this movie. I watched it a lot with my sister when it came out on VHS. I can't believe that you guys have never seen it before.
I don’t care what you guys react to at this point… I’m here for whatever you guys choose. I just love watching your reactions in general 😂🎉
For me, one of the most amazing things about this movie, is the fact that they stop the musical portion of the film halfway through. At the end of “a girl worth fighting for”, they come across this absolutely devastating massacre, and after that there is not any song in the movie ever again. It took a very earnest and serious turn and was no longer comedic almost at all.
When I was a kid, my dad and I would watch this movie ALL the time. He really liked mulan ans the little mermaid 😅! Seeing this brought back so many great memories .
love that you guys watched mulan. just some historical facts that make this film interesting - the great wall of china has existed in some shape or form since before the 5th century BCE. the story of Mulan is based on a chinese folk song originating some time between the 4th and 6th century CE. the empire mulan fights so hard for eventually falls to the descendants of the huns, the mongols in the 13th century CE.
Not my Broadway-loving ass internally screaming "it's LEA SALONGA!" 😂
He said "I didn't know they had dogs back in 1998" 🤣🤣 brooooo
“Be a Man” - so good, Jackie Chan covered it, complete with his own choreography in Kung-Fu form!
Mulan 2 is a great sequel!! Hopefully you guys will check it out one day. 😊💕 There's also a Jackie Chan music video to I'll Make a Man Out of You, where he sings the Chinese version and does martial arts moves... it used to be my favorite DVD extra because I found it so hilarious. 😂
The Huns had female warriors in their ranks, so Shan Yu knowing that Mulan toppled his army didn’t surprise him cuz he didn’t hold the same standards the Chinese did back in that time period
This is my ultimate favorite Disney movie and I'm so glad you guys liked it! Thank you for such a great reaction ☺️
And a true story.
Lea Salonga not only provided the singing voice to Mulan, but she also gave Princess Jasmine from "Aladdin" her singing voice
Lea Salonga, a Filipina, is Mulan's and Jasmine's singing voice. 🇵🇭
Fun Fact: Singing Mulan is the same as the Singing Jasmine in Aladin😉
Mulan is one of my favorite movies. I can probs quote it backwards and forwards. Just so many good messages and bops for days. Plus voiced by Ming Na who is an icon (and the only one to complete the Disney hat trick). Love seeing you guys react (found you from the Wednesday reactions)
Something about this movie that I really liked since I was young is that shows that no matter who you are (boy or girl) you can achieve great things if you work really hard and don’t listen to people that always put you down. Is crazy how much I related to this movie growing up, because I’m a boy from the Americans that don’t know anything about the Chinese culture, but when the story is good and inspiring we all can relate too.
Yes fireworks would ABSOLUTELY kill someone, and they have. They are explosives after all.
The simultaneous smacking of teeth and head dropping at 35:20 sent me lmao
