Mulan: Rise of a Warrior

3/8/2026

**it was raw.** the film made me question/reflect on things that the animation never did-how long was she away from home for, what was the cost? etc. it really felt new to see someone who wasn't the most attractive just someone who looked like average go to war inplace of her father-and i could see that!! i really enjoyed how mulan looked liked she went through stuff- through hell really. thanks to vicki's(and the crews) amazing acting it really stung when a character cried, or losing hope. i felt like i was there. however to achieve that look the use of dull colors were used, and while it did contribute to the overall mood it really started to feel repetitive towards the end and even made me want to take breaks.
