it was also jarring hearing an african-american dragon in a "chinese" movie.

You know, Eddie, that's kind of funny. I never thought of that! lol.
I liked the story, but I would much rather see it done in a serious epic style rather than the childish Disney style.

tim, we're on the same page. my family and i went to see it on opening day, and we thought that it was a disappointment. disney calls the heroine "fa mulan", but it's supposed to be "HUA mulan".
it might interest you to know that michelle yeoh is trying to get a live-action mulan movie made. i hope that yeoh doesn't play mulan, though, since she's way too old for the part.

Great review, Eddie. I think I liked the film more than any of you, but after hearing the deleted song on one of the extras I can only echo Tim that it WOULD have been too much singing if they left in that stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb jazzy Mushu song "Keep 'em Guessing," which sounded like "Make 'em Laugh."
Question for the spec/tech crew, of which I'm admittedly a rookie: On the original Mulan release, which offered both pan & scan 1.33:1 and widescreen (1.85:1) versions, the picture on my widescreen TV had roughly 2 1/2 " bands top and bottom. This special edition features "family friendly widescreen," which fills the entire 16:9 frame. I began to wonder if any details had been left out, suspecting, if anything, that the 1.85:1 might have more detail than the 1.66:1. Surprisingly, it's the other way around. If you look at one of the first scene access panels of Mulan sitting in her room, there is actually more detail on this "family friendly" version. Specifically, on the old version you don't see the knot in the middle of a curtain pulled to one side on the far left, and on the top of the screen you see more of a vase of flowers on the family friendly version.
Can anyone explain how that is?

Jim,
The movie was created with the 1.66:1 frame. In theatres, projectors mask movies to 1.85:1. Therefore, 1.66:1 is the true OAR.
