Honest Trailers | Mulan

[@francisco.mrsm.22]

I actually like a detail with the songs and the structure of the film where all the songs are present up until the burnt village. This gives a contrast between the soldiers' fantasy of war and the *real* stakes of the war. The horror witnessed is so extreme, they can never go back to how things were.

[@SuperShanko]

That’s an interesting point.

[@FreshestSoup]

that's actually a really good point, especially considering how the last song gets cut off the moment they enter the village.

[@swanpride]

I also like that ALL the songs are either about gender roles or identity. It's a completely different structure to what all the other Disney musicals have. Only True to your heart is awful.

[@loneronin6813]

Very true! I also feel that having less songs allows for quality over quantity, and I think that Mulan struck a good balance in that regard. I especially love the songs, "Be a Man," and, "Reflections," because the lyrics and overall presentation are so memorable and poignant.

[@christian11111]

I was going to post the same thing, it’s an amazing detail that I had not noticed for years until I read a similar comment on another video a year ago.

[@whereforeartthoume6459]

Mulan really stops being a musical after the massacre on the village. It's definitely highlights the somberness that war should provoke while still allowing the movie to be a comedy.

[@jbcatz5]

Wherefore art thou me Most of the comedy after that point is Mushu’s one liners, and even those are toned down until Shan Yu is Katy Perry’d.

“The little girl will be missing her doll. We must return it to her.” Only Shan Yu can make that line sound terrifying.

[@respectableaf9061]

He was awesome.

[@michaelramon2411]

He is definitely one of the best Disney animated villains, and a big part of it is that he is treated 100% seriously throughout the entire film. No jokes, no songs, no dumb sidekick annoying him. Just pure, near-emotionless violence. (Even if it is almost entirely off-screen.) I'm not saying that all Disney villains need to be like that, but in this case it lets him be the scariest foe in the canon.

[@Telcontar86]

3:47 okay I have to quibble this point: Mulan has fewer songs than the average Disney musical because it stops being a musical when they come upon the destroyed village - ie when they are faced with the reality of war (disclaimer: this is not my idea, I saw a Tumblr post on this - which I have since lost, sorry)

[@wingedhussar8552]

I’ve never looked at it that way. If intentional, it was a good choice in showing how serious war is.

Great point! The fact that Mulan doesn't have a lot of songs is one of the reasons I love it. It is also one of the reasons I love The Emperor's New Groove.

Tbf it has a lot of songs they just switch to scores when they get to the destroyed village

[@Divhreaza]

Agreed. I'd also seen that theory on Tumblr and it makes complete sense. I mean, that entire transition from the abrupt end of "A Girl Worth Fighting For" and them finding the village is enough to give someone whip-lash.

@@bluester7177 I'd argue it wasn't the prince Cinderella needed, it was her fairy godmother. The fairy godmother was the one who decided Cinderella needed to go to the ball, and created the chain reaction ending with the marriage. Without the fairy godmother, Cinderella would still be at the house, even more miserable than before. Now, personally if we're to focus on need, I think the godmother should've given Cinderella a one way ticket out of town to a place she'd be happy in. Although, now that I think about it, she's killing two birds with one stone by satisfying Cinderella's want for the ball, and indirectly (or directly?) pairing her up with the prince, with the prince being nothing more than a means to an end to remove Cinderella from her home.

Are you implying “Be a Man” is the time to take a bathroom break? Because no, absolutely not

[@podemosurss8316]

Actually Mulan isn't a princess at the beginning, just the daughter of a nobleman. Her actions, however, are enough to grant an iron-cap peerage: in China you could be promoted to any Nobility rank (except Emperor, of course) for doing important deeds worthy for the country, and she has basically saved the country

[@ScionStorm1]

Was her father a nobleman? I thought he was just a farmer.

[@harshmnr]

Yeah she's not a princess, but officially she's in the Disney Princess franchise because she "committed an act of bravery." ~:~

Not a nobleman, but more like a rich farmer. Only rich people who can afford weapons would be recruited and a nobleman would be a low rank solider.

[@pleasantnezumi4909]

Honesty, it's because of marketing. Mulan did well enough in the box office that they literally changed the qualifications for becoming an official Disney Princess for her to be included. So, while story-wise she is not a princess, she is included in the Disney Princess brand. Interestingly enough, Frozen did too well in the box office for Elsa and Anna to become official Disney Princesses, so it became its own brand. So yeah, it's just marketing.

Sadly you have COMPLETLY missed the point of the movie. The point is that after Mulan tries to act like the woman society expects her to be, she tries to act like a man and ALSO fails. It is only when she says "screw this" and takes advantage of the abilities she has (her smarts) in order to climb the pole and later defeat the Huns, that she can really succeed, by being herself instead of trying to fit into some sort of idiotic stereotype.

[@anyas5]

Sadly, you completely missed the point of an Honest Trailer.

[@swanpride]

Oh, I understand the point...it's to do some friendly ribbing of the movie. But the joke only works, if they really hit the weak spots. And in a lot of ways, they didn't. They left so much one can make fun off out (like the fact, that the movie has a perfect ending and then ruins it with a bunch of chickens and a truly awful pop song, or the fact the Ming-Na Wen is the only actress who has a Disney franchise triple, or the fact Mushu's voice is completely out of place) and went for things which are truly a stretch.
