❤❤❤
Listen to Jackie Chan sing “I’ll make a man out of you” in Chinese
Have u seen “It follows” ? Awesome awesome stranger things feeling suspense horror . Nikki and Steve & film freak becky reacted to it, awesome reactions, be a cool reaction for your channel.
"A girl worth fighting for" is the last song in the movie because immediately after it stops, they reach the destroyed village, which turns out to be the village of the little girl who owned the doll.
The message couldn't be any louder: that little girl is the real girl worth fighting for.
Lol. Sure
@@wonderweasle2212 what a good argument, glad you didn't skimp on the details so that you wouldn't just come off as annoying.
@@ReconWafflez weird
@@wonderweasle2212 is what you are
@@seanovak you sure are.
What l love is the Hun didn't mention Mulan was actually a girl when he saw her again but said she was the soldier from the mountain. He only saw her as his enemy and not a woman
🎉
Not to mention, you put that line before a bass drop, it goes SOOO hard. 😮💨
I think there was somewhere that the Huns actually had female soldiers as well, so maybe that was a sort of contributor 🤷♀️
I think it's implied, via his facial expression and shocked tone of voice, that he is surprised it was a woman that defeated him on the mountain. More of a show, don't tell, moment
"I equally want to kill you if you're a man or woman. Fuck you"
@Cio Lake it could be that. In the end, it's still a great movie.
No sir, you are not mistaken. Shang is considered the smokiest Disney man out there by a whole lot of us, bc… well speaks for itself 😂 also, def one of the best Disney films of all time, I watched this on repeat daily when I was a kid. I wanted to be her so bad.
Voiced/sung by DONNY OSMOND, of all people
@@ZakhadWOW song was By donny osmond. The voice was B. D. Wong
It's been 20+ years but Shang is still my man.
@@ZakhadWOW The Mandarin and Cantonese versions were sung by JACKIE FREAKING CHAN.
Bi sexual icon Lee Shang for life 🥵
Mulan is what every strong female character should be. She's not arrogant, in fact she doubts herself quite a lot but she pulls through because she's brave, she's not naturally skilled, she actually starts out as one of the worst, and she's not the best because of feminism or plot, she's great because she was determined and smart. Mulan feels so much more human than most other strong female characters we have in the modern day because her story is about self-discovery which is one the most relatable and human ways a character can develop. Most studios nowadays would have Mulan be naturally the best and then have her learn a slight bit of humility while still ensuring the audience knows that she's the best that ever lived, instead the movie shows a bright young woman who is unsure about who she is who rises to the top after hard work and learns that while she may not be what society wants her to be, she can still live a life that _she_ is proud of. The scene where she climbs that tower using the weights really highlights how great her character is, she doesn't get arrow because she's the strongest, she got it because she was smart and wrapped the weights together rather than fighting against them.
That's why I love the Pocahontas Disney movie so much. It's not historically accurate in the slightest, but I love that version of Pocahontas because she is curious and brave and kind and stands up for herself and those around her. She doesn't end up with the love interest at the end. Instead, she decides to stay where she is needed, with her family. I just relate to her a lot and it sucks when all people see are the historical problems in the movie. It's a movie! It's fiction! Get over it! Lol
disney was very respected in the 80s/90s, having extremely strong and independent female characters (jasmine, ariel, belle, esmeralda, and etc etc etc), look at how they've humiliated themselves and become such a joke now... how have they've fallen so far... making a $hitpile of everything they get their hands on that is not theirs... and when they actually do something that is their own, it's the same $hitpile...
@@pizzadohpaz the whole purpose of that movie was to teach kids important life lessons. Communication, never judge an individual or group right off the bat (try to learn about them and their culture), the dangers of ignorance and greed, and learning to be more appreciative of nature.
I still enjoy it. I still enjoy all the Disney films from the 90s and earlier. Today, it's just a rat
@@whatwhat98 exactly. It has so many good lessons and beautiful songs and visuals to boot!
@@whatwhat98 I've got so muh hate and death wishes on Tiktok for once leaving a comment that Pocahontas characters shouldn't be judged for their historical prototypes actions, you wouldn't believe (creator was rating Disney men and put John Smith at the bottom for being a pedo when in the cartoon Pocahontas clearly wasn't a young girl and was ready to get married). People getting crazy with it.
Fun Fact: You mentioned Shan Yu (the villain) was pissed that he lost to a woman. The huns had female warriors so he wasn't shocked that it could have been a woman. He was just mad that he was defeated so easily.
He wasn't even actually a Hun as the Huns never invaded China and spent more time fighting the Romans. He was more than likely one of the Mongols, which were still accepting of female warriors. In fact Genghis Khan's own granddaughter was a highly decorated General, and was the favorite to inherent her fathers half of the Empire over her 14 brothers.
@@jamiesilver7401 Yes, slight mix up in names. Mongolians* but yea.
I mean what’s interesting was they had their second encounter he recognized her as “the soldier from the mountains “. Not the woman . Interesting
During the sequence when Mulan gets ready to take her father's armor and disguise herself as a man, you can see dragon imagery throughout the entire thing, to symbolize the great dragon that watches over the family.
Conclusion: Mushu was unable to awaken the Great Dragon because it already left, signifying that Mulan is the Great Dragon that protects her family.
This is why she became a God in Smite
hey that's really cool, I always wondered why Mushu couldn't awaken the dragon. I just figured he didn't hit the gong right lol
I've watched this so often, but I totally missed this!
Oh that's awesome!
"You like him?!?!?" "Of course she does! Look at him!" 👏👏👏👏
Ok do y’all know if Seb addressed his sexuality before? just curious 😂😊
i dont think he did but if he is straight he is probably the single straight man so open about his sexuality saying “slay” calling men daddy and so on
@@sp3ctr0ph0bia i mean i am getting heavy bi vibes. Maybe he is just trolling who knows
@@elvin2514 idk i dont like to think about someone’s sexuality, but if u look at his heartstopper reactions u can kinda tell he relates
Shan Yu stands out to me as being one of the scarier Disney villains. It's so nice to have a villain being evil for no reason whatsoever for once, not every villain needs a sad backstory
Shan yu and Frollo I think are two of the scariest/most dangerous villains because of this fact.
Forealz
That “how many soldiers does it take to send a msg” part 🥶
I mean, I wouldn't say Shan Yu is "evil". He's just part of a warmongering tribe. He saw the Great Wall as a challenge that he whole heartedly accepted.
@@ryapowa If his goal was to get to the capital in order to kill the emperor, he could’ve done just that. Instead he targeted, went to, and killed villages with innocent people. It’s one thing to kill soldiers who are fighting in a war, and it’s another to kill bystanders who have no part in it. People who kill civillians, especially children, for no reason are just evil.
In real history for both greek, rome or han, the huns are barbarians who kill, rape, rob the civilian. Its a evil tribe.
When you realize mulan is the only disney princess with a body count. And it's not just one she literally murd an entire army😳
Technically Tiana has a body count too. She smashed the amulet, which led to the "friends on the other side" to finally drag Dr. Facilier to the underworld. Technically it's manslaughter, I guess? But she still led to his demise.
@@aliyahpulido953Anastasia also smashed an amulet to defeat her villain tho he was already dead so unsure if she actually killed the guy. I was also going to include Rapunzel but technically pascal the chameleon was the one who tripped mother gothel and killed her
"I'll Make A Man Out Of You" is probably one of my most favorited song ever
me too! It's my fav sequence and song from Mulan - from when it was first screened to today.
All Mulan fans will love Dan Vasc’s cover of I’ll Make a Man out of You. Quite an upgrade from Donny Osmond!
Fun fact about the Fan move that Mulan uses to disarm Shan Yu:
I saw a documentary with the animators who explained that was a real martial arts move. They brought in a martial artist so they could record that move along with others, which they then animated. This is part of the reason why it looks so cool is that it is something can actually be done.
Yeah, it takes a special kind of fan, though. I think they're made of steel or something. Samurai would carry them in situations where they couldn't carry a sword, for whatever reason. I remember reading a book series where women would carry them for self-defense in situations where openly carrying a weapon might complicate the diplomatic side of things, but I can't guarantee that that specific aspect is rooted in the real world. I wouldn't be surprised, but I haven't found any specific mentions of it.
One thing I don't see a lot of people talk about is at the end, you see two different types of bow. When the emperor bows to Mulan he does a respectful bow that implies equality. That is why everyone else around her knelt as the bowed onto the ground which was something implying whatever they bowed to (be it person or deity in prayer) was greater than the one bowing. He basically called her as equal to himself as the emperor and therefore greater than the rest of them, which is why they all hurried to bow down before her to show proper respect. It was pretty much the greatest honor he could give her.
Interestingly the Huns had women in their armies so to Shan Yu Mulan was nothing out of the ordinary. He even refers to her as the soldier from the mountain
An idea people dont really notice that I really like is when she shows the bad guy she was the soldier he didnt respond how every other character should "a girl soldier ?" He responds with "the soldier" because the huns have female soldiers in real life so for him seeing a soldier as a female isnt that odd
I like that fact
Supposedly, the voice actor who you called “Po’s Dad” is actually the most prolific voice actor of all time, by a huge margin too. That’s why he’s in so much stuff.
I remember him playing multiple characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender, most notable is the Kyoshi boiled in oil episode
James Hong?
Yea, he's in everything.
I mean he's everything from David Lo Pan in Big Trouble In Little China to the grandpa in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
@@ieyke and COvetous Shen, one of my favorite characters in DIablo III
when he came to the first Salt Lake Comic Con a decade ago I bought a screenshot/photo of his Diablo character and had him sign THAT :)
@@ZakhadWOW Oh yea.
Diablo 3 isn't particularly good, but Covetous Shen is GREAT.
Easily the best character in that whole game, aside from maybe Deckard Cain.
This one was great, and it's so quotable. Especially "dishonor! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!"
Plus Ming-Na Wen voiced Mulan, and she's a damn legend.
Seb has the best laughs out of any TH-cam channel I’ve ever seen
It's so contagious and low-key cute
He laughs like Cap.
It’s so infectious I love it 🤣
When a laugh like his is wholehearted, it's very contagious.
And the cutest Damn smile!
I always loved the scene when Mulan brings Mulan back Shan Yu's sword and the crest of the Emperor and her father only cares abour having her back home safe
Yep! He just dumps those priceless artifacts right on the ground so he can embrace his daughter
@@feralnerd5 Lol thanks for replying I just realized how back the grammar was😂
@@joshcolon1780 ehh, when I first got on the internet, I was really pedantic about that stuff. nowadays I figure we've all got better things to do. if I can figure out what you're saying without too much effort then we're fine
The Greatest of Honors.....is having you as my daughter.
He says that while discarding the signet of the Emperor himself and the sword she claimed from the invading leader
As a bisexual, Shang and Mulan really messed me up as a kid 🌈😅😂
When I saw mulan the first time I had no clue what bisexual was but I was like that girl is amazing and then I Shang and I got sooooooooo confused. Safe to say I’m now proudly bisexual
@@katiebradbury4873 same, yes! I didn’t know then for sure but looking back… 🌈😂✨
OMG yes, I was like "they are both so pretty???" back then. Thankfully my mom was an avantgarde woman explaining stuff to me so, I already knew that it was perfectly okay no matter which kind of person I decided I was attracted to. What puzzled me was that I liked **both**, I didn't know that was even a thing at first hahahaha.
9:08 Upon meeting Shang and learning he’s the Captain, Seb: “Captain?😏😈🥵”
Yesss, I love Mulan! Apart from the great comedy and songs, Mulan herself is one of my favourite Disney heroines. She's no princess, she doesn't have magic powers or is the most beautiful in the land. She succeeds because she's brave and smart and works really hard. She's no chosen one or gifted super hero and yet never ever let's herself become a damsel in distress. She's such an admirable and realistic (for Disney standards) heroine. ❤
Did yall peep how they were singing about a gurl worth fighting for ,and that girl they would be fighting for ended up being that little girl who's doll got left behind. That was the girl worth fighting for.
Mulan and Hercules are hands down my favourite Disney movies! Great reaction 👏
dude MINE TOO😭😭😭😭 finally a person with the exact same taste as mine
I might actually agree. I also quite like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I think those three have the best music and storyline. It is not just a romantic story, but more like a story with some romance in it. The humour does not hurt either. Hercules is probably the best in this particular department.
Much better than the live action remake from 2020. Also I was just at thinking about this movie while I was cleaning up outside, knowing that the music was done by Jerry Goldsmith.
The remake was bad, and was hardly a remake.
The originals usually are lol
God, I forgot that remake even existed. Absolutely yeeted that memory right out of my brain the first chance I got
Thing is that Shan Yu (the scary looking villain), didn't even care about Mulan being a woman. The first thing he said was "the soldier from the mountain" and immediately started fighting. There is a post on this talking about how in Hun tribes, women could hold equal rank to men, and some of the Huns' most brilliant military commanders were women. So it didn't seem weird to him at all.
20:54 Mulan’s “… oh.. thank you.” IS ICONIC 🤣
James Hong would guest star in an episode of Agents of SHIELD where he portrays Melinda May’s father. Yup, Ming-Na Wen herself was Agent May. So that episode was a bit of a Mulan reunion.
Ming na also did the Milan fighting pose in one episode
"If you whisper hold on to me, I'm holding on for dear life. Best believe, daddy" crack me up LMFAO
"I'll Make a Man Out of You" has got to be one of the best songs ever!
16:19
Like how she magically gained some fresh, perfectly applied eyeliner in her sleep to highlight "the woman fact." XD
I always felt like the Battle of Tung Shao Pass is unironically one of the best action sequences in film. The score by Jerry Goldsmith is fantastic.
Li Shang was my first crush when I was younger lmao. This movie never fails to make me cry either, even when I watch people react to it.
LET'S GO, THIS MOVIE IS SO BEATIFULLY DONE! ONE OF THE BEST DISNEY MOVIES! 💖✨
If you haven't already seen it, you really should watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame at some point - another top notch Disney film!
100% agree, one of my favourites!
@@tanczosfanni Mine too! And Frollo is probably one of the best Disney villains ever, I think. Maybe THE best, actually.
@@johanna2076 oh yeah, he’s terrifying!
please let this happen. best disney villan song by a large margin.
@@BobTheSkull It's sooo epic (and disturbing)!
seb having a crush on shang is a mood honestly
also just him being so excited when he predicts something after doubting himself
I'll Make A Man Out Of You is an immediate singalong with any group of 90s Disney kids. It's still to this day one of my favorite Disney songs. I love this movie so much. This video is making me want to do a Disney marathon. Mulan, Aladdin, Hercules, Tangled, Moana, and Encanto. I think this needs to happen.
Shang Lee was my first “crush” when I was a kid 😅 I was so obsessed with Mulan I cut my own hair like her in my moms closet lol I think Mulan was my first favorite movie and she’s still my favorite Disney “princess” hands down.
The remake was cool but it’s not nearly the same vibe as this one
Try Peter Pan next. From the 1950s. Captain Hook is a great villain. He goes from cunning, sly, and intimidating, to a frightened child whenever he hears the tick-tock of the crocodile.
@Joli captain Hook is a pirate, his whole thing along with his crew is looting and killing.
Peter Pan, along with the lost boys, act like brats because they never grow up. No mother or father to teach them right from wrong. Heck, the lost boys don't even remember what a mother is or if they had one. Even John and Michael were starting to forget about their mother. Wendy, being the eldest and more mature of them, didn't forget. Her whole purpose was to show the importance of mothers and motherhood.
@Joli the character of Peter is meant to be rude. And it is even worse in the original play and novel.
A life for a life, my debt is repaid. Shang spared her life because she saved his. This is one of my absolute favorite movies
You know we joke about Shang being sexy and all but for some of us he made us realize some things 😅😂
You gotta watch Brother Bear if you haven't already, that's another underrated Disney film I always loved. Great videos as always, keep it up, bro
Gosh that movie makes me cry, it’s so good!
Its My favorite Disney movie. Everything is so stunning: the landscape, the characters and of course the amazing music!!!❤
@@madisonm1811 I cried too when I rewatched it as a adult, such a heartbreaking story
@@kurikuri6683 Indeed, I miss those kinds of films that seem innocent but had a much deeper story and message, presented in such a beautiful way
“Is that Doney?” Is the best line you’ve ever said omg 😭
Nice! Mulan was always one of my favorite princesses. Love the music in this too. 💖
This movie is so good it’s good for all audiences and has an important message to like all Disney films but obviously “the flower that blossoms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all”❤
I ALWAYS have to rewind the jumpscares LOL
I'm sorry they're just too funny hehe
ALSO! I wanna slap Shang for missing the moment there when he says "You fight good" XD
Don't ever watch the live-action movie of Mulan... just keep this version in mind forever
Fax.
Mulan is based on a poem in China where the female warrior (Mulan ) fought for her country at a time when women were not allowed to fight as a soldier. After she saved her country and they found out she was a woman impersonating a soldier she was inevitably killed. Unfortunately the Disney version takes away from the actual possible historical presence that the poem originally had. However, everyone is uncertain on whether or not she existed. Very sad indeed, but great reaction.
Excited for this reaction! Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies. I'm a painting instructor and my coworker who used to animate for Disney, worked on this movie along with a bunch of others. For my birthday this year I asked him to watch it with me and give me the animators cut, can't wait for all the behind the scene juice! He loves telling me the story of meeting Christina Aguilera at the cast wrap party when she was just starting out in the industry.
Seb: "Don't you dare drink him."
Okay, but I'm not making that promise about Li Shang. 💅🏻
The way you haven’t seen any movie surprises me every time without fail 💀
19:38 actually from the villains culture both men and woman fight, that's why he didn't call her a girl but instead called her "the soldier from the mountains"
Yep, it was part of the reason the Huns irl were so effective. They essentially doubled the potential size of their army by not assuming gender should play a role in war.
19:39 actually, her being a woman has nothing to do with it. Shan Yu and the Huns had a very different way of life than the rest of China, with one of the biggest differences was how women were treated. Female huns could hunt, fight in the military, and even divorce their husbands. Shan Yu might have even respected Mulan since she was a capable and cunning warrior. He’s angry he lost and was outwitted, as any war monger would be 😂💛
Took animation classes from the animator of the Emperors Advisor in college. Did Lilo and Stich, Brother Bear. He was fantastic. Seeing his personality and specific style in that character makes me very happy. Darko Cesar deserves more credit. My man is also from Ukraine. Great guy. He was the animator for Lilo and Koda. Getting a compliment from him on my work was something I will treasure.
This is my favorite Disney film. It came out when I was a teenager, but as a girl it just resonated with me. They did such a fantastic job of addressing gender imbalance in such a realistic, powerful without ever once making it feel like a lesson to learn. And Li Shang…damn.
Me, it's one of the first I saw on cinema (the other was Tarzan) and now that I watch it as an adult, I can identify myself in Mulan because before learning I have ASD, it was hard for me to find my place because, like her, I wasn't like the others people
The thing is, it's not really that much about gender in the end, but more universally about "being different than the people around you", "standing out" and the whole "your weakness is your strength"-thing, all universal and often used themes. Yes, Mulan is different, because she is the only woman among a group otherwise comprised of dudes, but she falls in with the party of misfits who stand out on their own already, each one not exactly being the poster child for the "perfect soldier", her simply being mistaken for another "scrawny guy". I'm not saying it wouldn't work if it was only Mulan and it in fact only made its point through gender (to save time for more action or whatever), but imo it just works so much better this way.
“Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Mushu : Make a note of this: dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow, dis...” Hahaha MY FAVOURITE DISNEY MOVIE!! Mushu (Eddie Murphy) is bloody brilliant! Could watch this movie any day of the week, and not get tired of the banter!
I love when you predict something correctly, i.e with the Chinese dragon and the emperor, but you get faked out for a second. Then you’re disappointed and I just wait for you to get excited when it actually happens 😂
One of my favourite in-jokes for the movie are the character names. Chi Fu the advisor has a name that sounds like 欺负, meaning "to annoy"... Just like his character 😂
Also, the reason why Shang is taken aback by Mulan's fake name is because, when you add her surname, is read as Fa Ping - 花瓶 meaning "flower vase", which in turn is slang for "pretty (boy) but useless" 😂
"Mulan: The only Disney Princess with a bodycount. IN THE THOUSANDS."- Lindsay Ellis.
Except that she isn't a princess.
15:20 And thus, Mulan became the Disney princess with the highest kill count to date. :)
This movie was my childhood. I couldn't relate to a lot of the Disney princesses because they were mostly blond and overly girly at the time. (I was the opposite lol) I know mulan isn't a princess but she didn't have to be. It was also my first introduction into another culture and I was fascinated by it for the longest time (despite the obvious inacuracies thrown in for the time period).
God, I was so excited for the remake, but it was crushing just how bad it really was. 😢😢😢
I just want to know more about the hunk, Shang. Like, how did he explain to himself that he was attracted to Ping? And why wasn’t he more relieved to discover it was a girl?
the way he felt so betrayed too, my man def had a lot of reflecting going on in that head of his
He never fell in love with Ping, "he" saved his army and his life so it's normal that he had great consideration for "him", but having consideration doesn't mean being in love or having sexual desire towards someone...
Then, If he wasn't relieved that she's a girl, it's bcs it was a disgrace for them to be saved by a woman and she lied to him, women weren't allowed to go in war, they were shameful bcs honor was very important in those days, there's a reason why Mulan pretended to be a man.
It has nothing to do abt him being in love with Ping, he never showed any interest toward men and he fallen in loves with Mulan which is a girl literally, bcs he accepted her even if she's a warrior.
I mean, Ping literally saved his life and his army, how do you think he'd react ? Just "good job" ? Bcs straight men can't have consideration towards men ? Otherwise it'd be necessarily romantic or sexual ? Weird to think like that.
It's creepy to always link everything to smth sexual.
This will always be my favourite Disney movie. #1
Shang our Bi Disney Prince!! Shang's body is stacked but Aladdin's was always my favorite! Mulan is so iconic, I watch it regularly and have been watching since it was on VHS. I identified with Mulan because I wasn't a typical boy and most of the things typical boys did confounded me!
But Shang isn't bi at all ? He never fell in love with Ping, "he" saved his army and his life so it's normal that he had great consideration for "him", having consideration doesn't mean being in love you know.
Then If he was mad that she's a girl, it's bcs it was a disgrace for them to be saved by a woman and she lied to him, women weren't allowed to go in war, there is a reason why she pretended to be a man. It has nothing to do abt him being bi, I mean, he never showed any interest toward men and he loves Mulan which is a girl literally.
Do you rly think they would add other than straight character is that era ?
@@blabla86666 It's an undertone that isn't stated outright, of course. There are some vibes and looks when Mulan is Ping, in my opinion.
@@k1988smith No, you're misunderstanding the fact that he was highly regarded towards Ping and you have a fantasy that it's imperative to see characters who aren't straight, whereas this film dates from 1998 when making non-hetero characters was not a thing at all.
Then, having consideration towards someone doesn't mean it's always romantic or having a sexual desire? It's rly weird to always connect smth with their sexual orientation.
Shang never showed any love interest in men, what he wanted was to make them strong and he was proud of what Ping did in addition that "he" saved his LIFE and his army, so, how do you think he'll react ? Just "good job" bcs a straight man can't have a consideration towards another man ? Otherwise it would be necessarily romantic/sexual ? Really weird how you think.
And i'll repeat myself, but if he was mad that she's actually a girl, it had nothing to do with the fact that he loved Ping , it's bcs she lied to him and it was a disgrace for them (honor was extremely important at that time) so send a woman in war was terrible, and she saved her army and Shang on top of that, so they were shameful.
But, he accepted Mulan as a warrior and fell in love with her, while with Ping, he's never fallen in love
@@blabla86666 I think Shang is bisexual and many other people do as well. Disney would deny it if asked but there are vibes. Watch the movie again and pay attention when Ping says "For what it's worth. I think you're a great captain" vibes! I'm not misunderstanding and I know when the movie was released. I own a VHS copy of Mulan as I mentioned. My comment only states that Shang is Bi. I don't mention anything about how he felt about Mulan being a woman or if it upset him and don't know how it's relevant to your argument. You can leave me another comment explaining facts about the time period and it will not change my mind. I have an observation that is different to yours - that's fine. I hope you can respectfully agree to disagree.
@@k1988smith No, he's not bi at all, all you do is misinterpret bcs you're desperate to watch characters who aren't straight.
He's "bi" bcs YOU want characters who aren't straight like some ppl and many ppl joke about that (that he's bi but in reality they know he's not) he married Mulan and only show romantic interest towards her, not any men.
Shang is their general who taught them to fight and make war, as a general if one of his men would have done something incredible, he would be PROUD, when Ping told him that, he was proud and had consideration for "him" esp after what "he" did.
You realize that in an army their lives are at stake, bonds are formed (which again have nothing to do with sexuality or romance) because they can die at any moment etc...
You'll be surprised, but yes, a straight man can be proud & having consideration towards another man without it being sexual or romantic ! It's creepy to connect everything to smth sexual.
So yes, you misunderstand that being proud of someone isn't necessarily due to a sexual or love attraction, it's creepy to think like that.
Look at how non-straight people were treated in those days, it was unthinkable to create characters who weren't part of the norm, you're literally in delulu, the developers never said anything about that as well, bcs it wasn't romantical between Shang & Ping, but with Mulan, yes andhe married her but you really try to convince yourself that he's bi, bcs you're desesperate to see a non straight character.
Shang was only PROUD of one of his men that he trained hard, but of course, people like you, want to tie everything to smth sexual, which is rly creepy
9:50 😂 no, mulan cannot just say her name is mulan. Mulan (original name hua? Spelling unsure) means flower 🌸 and no man (in this time period) would name their son flower 🌸
Hua is her family name, which means “flower,” and her given name Mulan specifically means the magnolia flower.
The grandma is the best character hands down love her lol
21:27 I mean I don't blame her.
You definitely need to watch Treasure Planet and Atlantis.
Underrated Disney gems!
5:11 this is such a great sequence!
goosebumps everytime
"The soldier from the Mountain..."
Interestingly, Shangyu is the only men other than his dad that didn't judge Mulan just because of her Gender. The huns let women to their army too.
yet u don't see one
The music vocals for Li Shang was done by Donny Osmond. He had just revived his career with Soldier of Love in 1989, then did Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat for the 1990’s.
Iconic voice. The covid 2020 Disney Singalong special had him sing that song with his grandkids like the Brady Bunch… it was the cutest segment ever 🥹
You cut out my favourite dialogue from the movie. "Dishonour to you, dishonour to your family, dishonour to your cow." 🤣🤣🤣
Best soundtrack of any Disney movie!
Seeing Shang shirtless for the time awakened something in us all 😂
It's my favorite too. Saw it a few times in the theater and the snow avalanche scene was super dope.
For the first 8 minutes i was just WAITING for Seb to swoon over Li Shang
Honestly, as much as I love how sassy Mulan's grandma is, my favorite part of the movie is Yao roasting Chi-Fu in the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For".
Chi-Fu: 🎶I've a girl back home who's unlike any other🎶
Yao: 🎶 Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother🎶
Just the look on his face alone is priceless. 😅😂🤣
"What do you mean, you're not lucky?! And what are you - a sheep?!" Best line of the movie.
I never normally comment but I'm so early I just thought I'd tell you that your laugh always lifts my spirits! Your commentary is wonderfully hilarious. Keep being you! Thank you for existing 🤭🫶🏽🫶🏽
this film was always my favorite Disney film growing up. so fun
The brilliant thing about this version of Mulan is that she bore absolutely zero ill will towards her traditional role as a woman which speaks to her absolute selflessness, she didn't join the army for glory or honor, she did it to save her dad.
9:05 um Seb.. you have to get in line like everyone else , sweetie 🤭😂😂
I was desperately searching for some light entertainment and this fit perfectly! It was a great watch😂
I am so glad you finally got to watch Mulan! It’s one of my favorite Disney movies ever, and “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” is one of my favorite Disney songs.
Watching movies with you is so cozy and relaxing, it's such a great way to end a stressful day at work. Thank you!
He said “A life for a life, debt is repaid” but if we think about it he owes her more than just for saving his life, she saved the life of the others as well.
19:35 fun fact: Huns didn't actually separate men and women - a soldier is a soldier is a soldier
Fun fact Jackie chan is the Chinese dub voice for Shang
your movie reactions have become one of my favorites to watch. You just appreciate everything with such child-like joy it’s so fun to watch!
The Iron giant definitely needs to be next lol underrated movie
True!
There was a tumblr post years ago preaching feminist Shan Yu because he was the only character that didn’t care that Milan was a woman - she was a solider first and foremost to him
Because Huns had female soldiers.
I didn’t see anyone else who commented this, so I figured it was worth adding: the great stone dragon doesn’t wake up when mushu rings the gong because he’s already left. In the previous scene Mulan is sitting beneath the dragon when she decides to take her fathers place in the army. It is at that point, the great stone dragon awakens and solidifies Mulan‘s resolve to take her fathers place. That’s why you keep seeing imagery of the dragon throughout Mulan’s transformation, and a final flash of the dragon before her grandmother wakes up and realizes that she is missing.
i love how you just appreciate everything and laugh like a child. its honestly so much fun watching your reactions!
6:11 Thats funny because Donkey is in love with a dragon🦄🐲🐉
I was having a pretty bad day but it just got a little better, thanks to you 🙂
I love Fa Mulan as well, such a good movie
Interesting fact: Its not about the film in general but oddly enough a tale that is so much like this film. In WWI a young Serbian woman named Milunka Savić joined the army in her brothers place when he was drafted. Her brother had Tuberculosis and was unable to fight, she didn't want him being arrested so she masqueraded as him to take his place so he wouldn't be punished. When the soldiers found out she wasn't a man, they still allowed her to keep fighting because of how well she fought and her courage in battles. After one of the battles the soldiers were asked who fought bravely and many said she did.
Yesss my fav Disney movie!🥰
If you dislike this movie, there will be dishonor on YOU, dishonor on your COW...
My goodness. Seb I love watching your vids a few days ago I LITERALLY watched your videos all day. Love your vids so much. ❤
