Mulan (1998)
Movie
Released
Mulan's wish to protect her father sits beside the exhausting effort of performing an identity that other people will accept. An adult rewatch can make the matchmaking sequence and military training feel like connected demands to become useful in prescribed ways. Her ingenuity is the satisfying answer. This is the 1998 musical, whose comedy is broad but whose family expectations carry more force than the jokes initially suggest.
