Atlee...... Atlee yk that ily but i am sitting here vibing to Zinda Banda in film f*cking with all its double coded glory per prev scene context while also reading the lyrics and uh. babe did you just rewrite I'll Make A Man Out Of You for Shah Rukh yes or no bc idk 'a man must be feisty / ever strong / keep the thoughts alive / become a man among men / one full of hope / a burning heartbeat / with heart and soul as pure as the Ganges' is giving 'be a man / you must be swift as the coursing river / with all the force of a great typhoon / with all the strength of a raging fire / mysterious as the dark side of the moon' if you catch my drift

i've heard a great deal about you, fa mulan. you stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the chinese army, destroyed my palace, and… you have saved us all.

I feel like the thing Mulan (1998) accomplished better than any other Disney ‘princess’ film was how her society valued women based off 1. their attractiveness and 2. their ability to be submissive.

Other Disney movies (ex. Beauty and the Beast) make references to the misogyny women face for being unable to fulfill traditional female roles, but the disgusting standards aren't explored nearly as much as they are in Mulan. The entire song “You'll Bring Honor to Us All” focuses on all these horrible beauty standards she is expected to uphold:

“With good breeding/ And a tiny waist”

“Like a lotus blossom/ Soft and pale”

“a perfect porcelain doll”

But the song also reflects the social status of women and their roles in society:

“Boys will gladly go to war for you”

“A girl can bring her family/ Great honor in one way/ By striking a good match”

“Men want girls with good taste/ Calm/ Obedient/ Who work fast-paced”

“A man by bearing arms/ A girl by bearing sons”

Mulan’s reflection of this caricature she is meant to become is so much more powerful and sticks out even compared to other more recent Disney movies (Frozen, The Princess and the Frog, etc.)

I personally feel like Mulan is the only ‘princess’ who does not fall into the society's expectations of feminity in come category. She does not seek to become an object, and she defies the roles her society wants her to uphold. Mulan is the only Disney film that shows the impossible standards women are given. The only film that comes close to this would be Brave.

Listening to a review of Wish that goes into why it faltered at the box office and how it could have been better if certain character tropes had tied to the theme of the story instead of just been there for the sake of being a trope

“Alright, fair enough. Makes sense.”

Reviewer then begins to talk about how Disney is pushing diversity over quality

“Fuck oooooooff!!!”

#nothing worse than trying to find a good review #and then get smacked with ‘here is why diversity is bad’ twist #fuck off #I’m genuinely curious if older Disney film like mulan got these kind of reviews #Wish #disney #disneys wish

I think Hunter would have a crush on most of the Disney princes 

#I know some people have been claiming that his taste in men would be HORRIBLE (like Human Bill Cipher. He'd crush on him HARD.) #but I feel like he has good taste sometimes #like imagine Luz putting on 'Mulan.' where Shang is shirtless for half the film. self explanatory lmao #or even FLYNN FUCKING RYDER FROM TANGLED. #heck even Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. Hunter's brain chemistry would be CHANGED BY THEM. #sorry I have to say this now that he's canonically bisexual #hunter toh #toh #the owl house #bi hunter #bi!hunter #toh spoilers #<< just in case

I guess it's canon that Li Shang appreciated how Fa Ping did not give up despite him literally expelling the poor guy because he was unsuited to the task. I mean, he sang to him to pack up and go home and then Ping just tried and succeeded at what everyone had failed.

He didn't give up.

As a leader, Shang must have been really proud that he could finally make a man out of such a spineless, pale, pathetic lot.

Imagine his surprise at Ping, the guy who didn't give up and who saved his life, being a woman.

He was deceived (after all, a lie such as that was a kind of treason -- they made it pretty clear that the penalty was death), and still, he was a man of honour so he spared her and repaid his debt.

I just love it.

The irony in "I'll make a man out of you" (because he cannot make a man out of Mulan), how Shang had to overcome his own prejudices and the breaking of his trust by the end of the film, how he developed romantic feelings for Mulan after what they went through...

He knew Mulan way before realizing it was her. They had been fighting together, he saw her grow in strength and skill all because of her determination, and then he saw it once again at the final battle, where she was (also) finally being herself and bringing honor to her family by who she was.

Oh man, how I love Disney Renaissance films.

Last month, I also watched the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 100th Anniversary short film Once Upon A Studio, and I loved it.

It’s not the story I liked most; it was nice and cute, but nothing revolutionary or unexpected. What I loved was seeing and hearing all these familiar characters, especially the 2D-animated ones, again. I’m a fan of hand-drawn animation and really miss it, so I was happy to experience it once more, even if it was only for a few minutes.

I love traditional animation because it’s always felt more magical and “personal” to me. I missed seeing a character on screen and thinking, “I know who drew you”. Here, when Louis (The Princess and The Frog) appeared, I recognized his original supervising animator Eric Goldberg’s work. I also knew that impressive shot of Peter Pan and the Darling siblings flying around the building could only have been animated by James Baxter (his brain works in 3D; I don’t know how he does that but it’s always mind-blowing). And as a fan of Mulan, seeing her not only being animated by Mark Henn, whose style I think is unmistakable and who was her supervising animator in the 1998 movie, but also holding hands and singing with Snow White (the first Disney protagonist) and Asha (the latest Disney protagonist) was quite special and moving.

What’s also great is that you can tell they tried to remain as faithful as possible to each movie’s original visual style, which means characters, for the most part, really look like they’ve just come out of their respective films. Graphically speaking, the numerous protagonists all have their own identity (it clearly was the artists’ goal, and I think they achieved it), but the whole thing still looks surprisingly coherent. The vast majority of the original voice actors are back, which is a very nice touch as well.

I don’t know, I just think the care, skills, and passion of the people who worked on Once Upon A Studio were palpable, and that felt good. Their attention to detail is evident, and as someone who grew up watching hand-drawn animated movies and truly loves the artistry behind them, I appreciate that.

#I mean there certainly are things to say about disney as a company #but I think their artists are passionate and that you can feel that in the short film #technically speaking it’s really really good #once upon a studio #eric goldberg #mark henn #james baxter #too bad glen keane wasn’t here #mulan #they did you justice girl #you deserve it I’m so happy #disney #walt disney #traditional animation #today is hand-drawn animation appreciation day on this blog apparently #sorry with everything that’s happened with far cry (laserhawk not included) I almost forgot what it was like to feel respected as a fan :’) #even in french most of the original actors were back! they usually don’t care that much! #shout out to paolo domingo for coming back 30 years later just to record like one second of dialog for aladdin haha
