Movie Review: Mulan II

Let's take a really good movie with gorgeous animation (remember the avalanche?), likable characters, memorable songs, a fun scary villain, an exciting plot, and some attempt to convey the culture of China and make a sequel that lacks everything from the list but the likable characters. Oh, but to make up for that last bit we'll make one of them behave totally out of character for the sake of the plot.

No matter what the person who pitched this actually said in the first pre-production meeting that's what he or she should have said in order to be completely honest.

If you happen to be around children who insist on watching this it isn't so bad that you will be in agony every step of the way, there are even some bits that are actually good for minutes at a time, but you do not want to spend money or time on this if you don't have to.
