Villagers Watch Mulan (1998): Culture Clash or Timeless Story? React 2.0

[@beth-sophia]

I love that they go from "she should get married" to being upset that nobody was listening to her. And saying that if a woman thinks her man is competent to run the household she shouldn't hold back.

[@teresar6348]

What I think got lost in translation here is the "she should get married" was I think to get a husband to send to battle instead.

[@GuardianGrarl]

The worth of even two people watching a movie and judging it fairly while partaking in truly civilized conversation with each other just cannot be put into words...

[@xavieriswavier]

Yes much better than just 1 by myself

[@Trazynn]

And without knowing any context or culture, or even knowing what the movie might be about. It's so delightful. In the West everyone is already at least ruined by trailers if not by media before having seen the movie.

[@Trazynn]

I just love how occasionally Raeen thinks he's about to watch a dud of a movie and you see him getting impatient but then the movie surprises him and he's utterly drawn in.

[@writeontrack8819]

So wonderful to hear them say "boy or girl, you can conquer the world!" I love these guys and how open hearted they are!

[@ryanwight9116]

An interesting side not is when the villain (can’t recall his name) realized Mulan was the one who killed his army he addressed her “the soldier from the mountains” not as a woman. He saw her as a warrior, not a woman. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think in Mongol culture women have a bigger role than China (where even today they’re viewed poorly). I think in Mongolian culture women could even hold land and positions of power. The best example I can think of is Khutulun, who was a real ass kicker in the wrestling ring

[@Trazynn]

Yes Mongol women occasionally participated in war and had more political influence. But in this case I think the Mongol leader simply was competent unlike everyone else.

[@vladt876]

Genghis Khan was known for training his daughters in ruling and combat, then "marrying" them off. I say marrying in quotes, because as a condition to marry, the groom had to serve in the front lines. Once dead, his daughters would become rulers of certain clans. While they were loyal to their father, they were well trained on how to be leaders "queens" in their own right, and their children, without a father, would eventually rule the clans but loyal to their grandfather

[@rhythmkhandelwal2940]

But Huns weren't mongols, they preceded them by centuries

[@Lucky-ro6jp]

@@rhythmkhandelwal2940huns are the ancestors of mongols

[@jj-vf7wm]

Just read about Khutulun because you mentioned her. I have never heard of her before, but thanks for bringing her up! It was a good read learning about her. so cool!

[@mellchiril]

Mulan is my favorite Disney movie of all time, the animated version at least. It was nice to be shown that you don't have to fit the mold to succeed and become great.

[@Deivil007]

i would love to see them react to The hunchback of Notre Dame and Prince of Egypt :)

[@davide.s.9880]

I wonder how good the translation is? The funny voices are important also. They seem to laugh at the right times so they must be OK.

[@fitnesswithsaswatsahoo2116]

I have watched the Hindi version of this movie. While most of the jokes cannot be translated word to word, it is actually very good.

[@revangerang]

I always wonder this too 😅

[@WlknHope2024]

In all the movies we've seen Raeen watch and react to, I've never seen him so involved and intrigued like he is now. 😊 I wish Babu was here too. How is Badshah doing? We haven't seen him in awhile but my prayers go out to him. Can we get Badshah back to enjoy these moments? If not, please let him know he's not forgotten. He's just as important as the rest and we truly do miss him.

[@genomekender8471]

I think it's because the movie shows how ancient China looked like. Raeen is very interested in cultures. That's why I recommend him to watch more Disney cartoon movies that show cultures/history like Hercules and Pocahontas.

[@jasminegilchrist959]

And Raju!!+

[@TYANTOWERS]

@@genomekender8471 not Pocahontas though

[@genomekender8471]

As usual, Raeen was interested in the cultural aspect so I recommend him more Disney cartoon movies that show cultures like Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules.

[@ladytheaemuhinomura]

Wonderful idea

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

I would not recommend Pocahontas since its extremely inaccurate to the real story.

[@abbeyBominable123]

Moana and Encanto too

[@ladytheaemuhinomura]

I would recomend beauty and the beast

[@paulthebohemian]

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl So is Hercules

[@jaredf6205]

My favorite 90s Disney movie. It was the only big one I missed as a kid, but I saw it as an adult and I thought it easily stood above the rest.

[@Trazynn]

Back then our local cinema held movie festivals where everyone could watch one movie for free, but they wouldn't see which movie you got to see. So back then they surprised us with Mulan. I think I was 7 or 8. That cavalry charge scene was amazing on a big screen.

[@ayacachotinemi4974]

I've always thought Mulan is the high water mark of Disney animation. Both for its story and its art style. That run of movies from The Little Mermaid through to Mulan really hasn't been topped since.

[@Trazynn]

Extend it up to 2002. Then you get Fantasia 2000 (1999) The Emperor's New Groove (2000) Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) Lilo & Stitch (2002) Treasure Planet (2002) Included as well.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

Honestly, as much as I love how sassy Mulan's grandma is, my favorite part of the movie is Yao roasting Chi-Fu in the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For". 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🎶 Just the look on his face ALONE is priceless. 😂🤣

[@memydogsandi]

Can't speak for other Chinese grandparents, but my experience is that is definitely on point for a grandmother! I remember my Dad telling me I needed to stay and talk to my grandmother so she could practice English. Her response (in English) was to ask why he couldn't do it. And when she met my partner for the first time her Cantonese reaction was to say "oooh he's handsome. Okay he can stay"

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

@@memydogsandi As a Mexican-American, my grandmother was fairly sassy too, but she wasn't afraid to tell it like it is when she needed to.

[@ineffablemars]

Every person should be judged by their character. Not their gender or ethnicity.

[@revangerang]

I am also requesting Prince of Egypt! It's a masterpiece

[@mdismail13137]

Please ruby should watch thease Disney Princess movies please include her also

[@Gemmalemonade]

agree! ❤ if they upload a separate Ruby reaction to Mulan even, I would watch it so fast/

[@sonozaki0000]

Oh, Ruby would have LOVED this one I think!!

[@JTDimino]

I imagine it has more to do with availability/scheduling than anything, but it would be great if they could show the movie to Ruby again the next time she's available!

[@navsubtorpfac]

yes, another video with Ruby watching. Thank you.

[@erikagholston6610]

That was a beautiful song at the end. Thank you for sharing.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

They should react to The Jungle Book (animated version). Since they're from India.

[@Angelicwings1]

I would like to see that

[@sonozaki0000]

That'd be nice. I believe it was Raeen and Babu who saw the live-action version already, and they enjoyed that it told a story about India

[@icealchemist9122]

They would like a Soviet cartoon Mowgli. Beautifully drawn, brilliant voice actors, and minimal differences from the original

[@anette4085]

the film is based on a Chinese legend about the heroine Hua Mulan

[@Ni-boo]

I love that Mulan won them over! I'm from Australia 🦘🦘, I love this story of Mulan and I love this channel. Keep up the great work 💪❕❕

[@KSmeaton1]

Woo, finally! Now Aladdin, (animated & live-action) Prince of Egypt next, please.

[@thisiswhatilike54]

No on the live-action. Yes on the other two.

[@МаксимКузнецов-л5ь]

Next- "Hercules", trilogy "How to train your dragon", "Zootopia", "Inside out". Please...

[@FawnTheCreator]

I don't think Inside Out has a Hindi dub. And if it has, then Disney+ Hotstar is a waste of money and time, for they don't even do important things like that.

[@Swissswoosher]

“No matter how strong the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it” is perhaps my favourite quite from this film.

[@ladiuneeq9789]

Sarru, "he talks a lot of nonsense". LOL! He just doesn't get it! 😂😁

[@kinglost1372]

PLEASE have them react to Tarzan! I think it would be a great movie for them to watch, and after they could watch the live action version

[@OriginalAGP]

Please react to The Prince of Eygpt!!! Its my favorite ❤!!! Enjoyed y'alls reaction ♡!

[@esmagrace8951]

My favourite buddies react to my favourite Disney movie. Am i dreaming? 😂

[@YokoshimaSTAR]

YESS Best thing to watch before bed to chill after a long day.

[@danieltaylor5807]

Seeing Sarru and Raeen crack up at Mushu's "I get the drift, Ill go", that was priceless.

[@alaenamcdonald1877]

It makes my heart beat, to have acknowledged not only the sanctity of the place women hold in home and raising children, but also that they are as capable as any man in their own ways to defend their loved ones and their country. We all have roles we must play at times ❤️

[@chancerystone4086]

The are as capable as any man "in their own ways"? Couldn't just give a compliment, huh?

[@tlungzen1192]

Yes woman should fight the war and be draft too , we man tired of been use for war

[@coveruplies]

aw did he cry? I know it's not the full movie but I cried too T_T

[@mjoseph1991]

Great reaction video! Could you do a reaction to The Hunchback of Notre Dame one of these days?! It’s definitely one of Disneys darkest films but is so underrated in my opinion. Very important themes that are very well executed❤️

[@WanderingRoe]

This reaction was just wonderful, thank you so much for making us happy! I love the songs you always sing at the end.

[@guillaumegrondin2099]

Mulan is my favorite cartoon movie. It is very nice.

[@slantos2668]

Sarru has a lovely voice!

[@TheFatJohnny]

A great 2D animated movie! A classic far far better than the live action remake. Happy to see it Love to see it. Need some more of these, I'm still hoping for The Fox and The Hound(1981) + The Land Before Time(1988) Also I miss having Badshah around his opinions and reactions were always excellent.

[@icealchemist9122]

They would like a Soviet cartoon Mowgli. Beautifully drawn, brilliant voice actors, and minimal differences from the original

[@hannahhester8376]

I would love it if they watched Coco, thst is a great movie, and would be a great way to teach them about the Day of the Dead and more Mexican culture. And YES, please, Prince Of Egypt.

[@ryanwight9116]

I’d love to go to a con with 2 buddies dressed as the 3 guys (can’t remember their names) disguised as concubines

[@HusbandoCollector]

I saw a picture on pinterest of three men that actually did that while going to a convention lol

[@AielHeart]

I loved this so much

[@taliesincoleman6569]

show them prehistoric planet please :3

[@mooeykazooey]

Not including Ruby in this video was a major fumble tbh

[@LemonHelmmet]

now show them the lady of the dark Milinka Savic

[@casualpanda4100]

I wonder if the songs were translated

[@RLucas3000]

Have they seen Up? And Riki Tiki Tavi?

[@golmatol6537]

How about "Alita: Battle Angel" ?

[@aaliyahthomas1456]

[@michaelnewman7468]

You didn't upload the video yesterday! YOU ARE FINED - reaction to Infinity War next!

[@FranciscoFloresNyu]

It may be a good time to show them the Hun and Mongol empire

[@rhythmkhandelwal2940]

Considering both of them have a history of clashing with India

[@Rasfa]

I generally like Ming-Na Wen, but her work in this movie is asolutely horrendous.

[@dannyboy6050]

Disney sus películas 🎥 buenas 🤗

[@cMegumi1]

have you guys watch the movie spirited away?

[@KSmeaton1]

Copyright sadly may be an issue, Ghibli films tend to be bad copyright wise. If they do react to it, I would recommend a Patreon exclusive.

[@Trazynn]

They may not yet have enough patreons to make exclusives worth the time. But it's a good idea regardless.

[@sonozaki0000]

That'd be great but I think that somehow Ghibli is even more aggressive with copyright than Disney is. You can hardly find any clips anywhere. It IS possible, I've seen other people do it (like Therapist Reacts) but it probably takes a lot of editing to make sure it can slip past auto-copyright detection.

[@ipswichrookie7553]

They should watch The Godfather.

[@thisiswhatilike54]

This. This right here is how you write a strong female lead. Everybody loves this movie for several different reasons, all of which are good ones. The argument that men are intimidated by strong, independent women is completely bupkis. She had to train and face her trials right along with her fellow soldiers. Nothing was ever given to her; she had to earn it - and earned it, she did.

[@chancerystone4086]

Yeah, and all men accept that without offering any difference of opinion, that's why Andrew Tate has such a big following. I don't know what fantasy Disney planet you're living on, but it isn't this one.

[@in8hope617]

A lesson in how strong a woman is. .....(for the Villagers in this video & everyone who sees the film. )

My favourite Disney movie. Also, don't bother with the Live Action Mulan, complete waste of screen.

No. The disney one is crap. Watch the chinese ones if you want a good live action of the story.

[@pirateylass]

Would be great to see how they like the recent live-action Mulan movie ❤

[@Xgendude14]

Nooooo, the live-action Mulan is trash. Mulan goes from being a hard-working girl who only wanted to save her father in the animated movie to Chinese Rey Palpatine in the live action movie.

[@Trazynn]

In the live action, Mulan is a cold-blooded super hero who doesn't need training.
