Mulan

USA 1998 | 88 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Based on an old Chinese legend about a young girl who pretend to be a man to join the war against the Hunnes. As in previous Disney films, the inspiration comes from foreign cultures' myths (East Asian in the case before us), but in the face of this cultural appropriation, Disney succeeds in depicting, gently and sensitively, how a young woman deals with the shackles of gender and status in the patriarchal society in which she lives. Long before this philosophizing, "Mulan" is an animated film with the familiar qualities of Disney, so your enjoyment is guaranteed.
