movie review - Mulan

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1998.01.07

This is an animated story about a young lady in China who disguises herself as a man to join the army in her aging father's place. Of course, she's inevitably thrust into a role where she must reveal her identity as part of her efforts to save the kingdom. This is simply the best Disney effort I can remember. It's a treat to look at, and a cut above the usual story-telling from Disney.

Recommended.

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.
