The film's music merits praise as well. There are just four songs plus "True To Your Heart", the catchy but out-of-left-field end credits tune. Each of the four holds its weight within the film, displaying a unique and compelling style, and always serving to advance the story, rather than act as musical detour or illogical pace-changer.

In September 2017, Mulan became available to Netflix users through their streaming service. [68] In November 2019, Mulan became available for streaming on Disney+. A year later, Mulan was released on 4K Blu-ray. [69] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] Mulan was the first of three features produced primarily at the Disney animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) in Bay Lake, Florida. Development for the film began in 1994, when a number of artistic supervisors were sent to China to receive artistic and cultural inspiration.Mulan is presented in 1.66:1 anamorphic widescreen (the aspect ratio of this and other animated films created with Disney's CAPS system), a step up over its 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen treatment as a Limited Issue/Gold Collection DVD. While video quality is not perfect, it is for the most part, pretty good.

It is worth noting that Mulan is steeped in culture, at least more so than most other animated Disney films. While these have consistently made an effort to create worlds which can immerse viewers, Mulan goes just a bit farther, as it should seeing how the setting figures so largely in the story. Chinese audiences will note that it is a more a general Asian culture that is present in the film; Japanese elements figure perhaps as prominently as Chinese. The Asian flavor of the film finds its way into a unique score by the recently-deceased Jerry Goldsmith. Even if this transfer offers significant improvement over the previous nonanamorphic release, it is not as unanimously pleasing as brand new films or other meticulously remastered DVDs such as the Platinum Editions due to a considerable amount of minor flaws. All things considered, video-wise, Mulan falls short of the usually high Disney standard, but will certainly satisfy the general public.

Some elements remain in the final film, but this version offers a number of differences story-wise. After the Matchmaker looks over Mulan, the marriage is arranged, with Mulan's father receiving five pigs, and Shang receiving a new wife, whom he awkwardly meets. The first thing you'll find in this section are two progression demonstrations. With these progression demos, you get to view these two scenes ("Mushu Awakens" and "Matchmaker Meets Mulan) in four different stages (Story Sketch, Rough Animation, Clean-Up Animation and Effects, and Final Color).
