DINSEY: MULAN 2(2004)
Not quite as great as Mulan 1, but still pretty darn
good!! And still has Star Trek's Sulu, George Tekai!!
All in all, a must watch for all Disney/animation/cartoon
fans! B+
From Amazon.com:
With less drama and more slapstick than its predecessor,
Disney's Mulan II continues the animated saga of the young
Chinese heroine, Fa Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen, sung by
Lea Salonga). The story picks up one month after Mulan has
saved her country through bravery and determination. Revered
by all, she now returns to her village and becomes engaged
to General Li Shang. Wedding plans must wait, however, when
the Emperor assigns the couple to a secret mission to escort
his three princess daughters across China where their arranged
marriages to waiting princes will secure an alliance with a rival
kingdom and save China from invasion. Meanwhile, Mulan's
wise-cracking guardian dragon, Mushu< (voiced by Mark
Moseley), realizes that if Mulan's marriage takes place, he
is out of a job and so he undertakes his "18-phase master
plan" of relationship sabotage to breakup the happy couple.
Most of the film's jokes come from Moseley's Mushu (as
quick-witted as Eddie Murphy's earlier performance), while
a trio of prankish soldiers provide additional comic relief.
While the film's overall effort is not as sensational as the
original, it offers solid family entertainment, healthy female
role models, and a handful of catchy songs. (Ages 6 and
