I watched Disney's Mulan (2020) last night and got together with my wife @joyofnapping to record a few thoughts on it. 

This review is now available as a podcast download on Culturally Relevant.

making me feel like a bad parent to watch this with my 6 year old :). Overall I really enjoyed Mulan, like you said the vistas were stunning and the movie felt like it took place in a real place and not a CGI backdrop. Great to hear your cultural perspective, I couldn’t judge the movie in that regard. My daughter liked it as well, and at the end saying “she really is a legend” which was cool. She also said Mulan has the Force , and I am pretty sure Donnie Yen says “use the force” at one point.

I see you decided to support the release model. I wish Disney would release numbers.

Not of Asian descent here, but when I watched the movie on Friday I also found the spoken English quite weird, although, like you guys, completely understand why they had to do it that way. Overall, I and a friend split the cost and had a hugely entertaining time with it. Do not regret it at all, and would gladly fork over $30 to Disney for future releases done in this manner, particularly for any MCU content. Also, Dave, and no big deal, but my name in the credits is misspelled :)

Sorry about that Jonathon! Will be fixed in future videos.

Not sure if its fair to compare Yifei Liu to the great Michele Yeoh. This is one of those movies that you just need to take off your critic hats and have some fun! Do you know how rare and precious it is to see 4 legends of different era: Cheng Pei Pei, Gong Li, Jet Li and Donnie Yen in the same movie and kicking ass?
