Mulan

Needless to say, we watched this movie on Family Night. Nicole picked it, and I'm glad she did because the title heroine is a very good role model for young girls: she's strong, wise, and unwilling to let a patriarchal society set the rules by which to live her life.

The movie showcases quite a few battles and fights, and they're pretty raw, so much so that the first time Nicole saw it she was pretty scared, and did not like it. But this time she loved it.

The movie, now ten years old, stands the test of time both in terms of the story it tells and the way it tells it, the classic 2D-Disney style that never disappoints when paired with a good story.

A nice movie for the whole family.

Grade: 7.5
