Honorable ancestors, please help Mulan impress the Matchmaker today. (ANIMAL NOISES) Please. Please help her.

Mulan.

Mulan.
Fa Zhou
00:04:46

Mulan, you should already be in town. We are counting on you...
Fa Li
00:06:38

Mulan, what's this?
The Matchmaker
00:09:08

"Fa Mulan."
Fa Li
00:14:27

Mulan. Stay inside.
Fa Zhou
00:15:22

Mulan!
Fa Zhou
00:15:32

Mulan, you dishonor me.
Fa Li
00:17:01

Mulan...
Grandmother Fa
00:19:38

Mulan is gone!
Fa Zhou
00:19:54

Mulan! (FALLS) No.
Grandmother Fa
00:20:25

Ancestors, hear our prayer. Watch over Mulan.
Ancestor
00:21:49

I knew it. I knew it. That Mulan was a troublemaker from the start!
Mushu
00:23:23

Just one chance, is that too much to ask? I mean, it's not like it'd kill ya. Yo, Rocky, wake up! Ya gotta go fetch Mulan! Come on, boy! Go get her! Go on! (WHISTLES) Come on. (GONG BANGING) (GROWLING) Hello? Hello! Hello! Uh-oh. Uh, Stony? Stony? Oh, man, they're gonna kill me.
Mushu
00:24:17

Uh, uh... Yes, I just woke up. I'm... I'm the Great Stone Dragon. Good morning. I will go forth and fetch Mulan. Did I mention that I was the Great Stone Dragon?
Mushu
00:25:01

Go get her? What's the matter with you? After this Great Stone, Humpty Dumpty mess, I'd have to bring her home with a medal to get back in the temple. (GASPS) Wait a minute. That's it! I make Mulan a war hero, and they'll be begging me to come back to work. That's the master plan. Oh, you done it now, man.
Mushu
00:27:33

Get ready, Mulan. Your serpentine salvation is at hand! For I have been sent by your ancestors to guide you through your masquerade. Come on. If you're gonna stay, you're gonna work. So heed my word! 'Cause if the army finds out you're a girl, the penalty is death!
Mushu
00:44:59

No, you don't! I've worked too hard to get Mulan into this war. This guy's messin' with my plan.
Mushu
00:57:27

Mulan! Mulan! Mulan? (GROWLING) No. Mulan! Man, you are one lucky bug.
Mushu
00:57:32

Mulan! Mulan! Mulan? (GROWLING) No. Mulan! Man, you are one lucky bug.
Mushu
00:57:33

Mulan! Mulan! Mulan? (GROWLING) No. Mulan! Man, you are one lucky bug.
Mushu
00:57:38

Mulan! Mulan! Mulan? (GROWLING) No. Mulan! Man, you are one lucky bug.
Mushu
00:58:14

Mulan! I found the lucky cricket!
Mulan
01:00:33

My name is Mulan. I did it to save my father.
Shang
01:06:36

Mulan?
Shang
01:06:41

You don't belong here, Mulan. Go home.
Mulan
01:07:00

Why else would I come back? You said you'd trust Ping. Why is Mulan any different? Keep your eyes open. I know they're here.
The Emperor
01:16:02

I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace, and... you have saved us all.
Fa Zhou
01:19:17

Mulan!
Shang
01:20:02

Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here? Thank you.
Shang
01:20:16

Honorable Fa Zhou, I... Mulan! Uh... You forgot your helmet. Well, actually, it's your helmet, isn't it? I mean...

The Scorecard

My take, and how it fares on the Bechdel Test

My Rating

9/10

“Look, they take some liberties with the original ballad. And there are some cultural inaccuracies. But if you look at this as simply a family movie, it fucking KILLS it! Also, this was the 250th movie published on my app!”

Just my two cents — one movie lover to another.

Bechdel Test

Two women with names?
They talk to each other?
About something besides a man?
