Shan yu is one of my favourite Disney villain. I like that he was the only man in this cartoon who didn't react to the fact that Mulan was a woman (as I know bcs Huns have a women warriors) He did not humiliate her and did not give her any odds. She was his opponent and target, and without any pity or unnecessary words, he wanted to fight her like a warrior with warrior.
^This. Shan Yu saw only his enemy, and did not acknowledge gender, and he was ferocious. He didn't hold back. He considered her a warrior to defeat, not a gender to discriminate.
I never looked at it like that before but now that I do he’s my favorite villain officially, although he may be a villain he gained my respect for that
You’re so right. All he did was say, “The soldier from the mountains…” And he literally went from this 😲 to this 😡. Shan Yu really said gender equality, my enemy is my enemy. 😂😂😂
@poem2myself it wasn’t on the writers OR the director. the chinese were upset at disney’s depiction of their legendary figure with the singing and the talking animals. with the live-action, disney tried their best to appeal to their audience (so that the film could be promoted in china). li shang’s absence is due to the height of the metoo movement: the filmmakers thought it was inappropriate to include him in the film due to a lot of complaint from women about the sexual relationship between mulan and her commanding officer (unbalanced power dynamic), so they decided to split him into 2 people - commander tung, who becomes mulan’s mentor/father figure, and chen honghui, mulan’s new love interest who’s also a fellow soldier.
Just so you know, the person singing is actually different from the standard voice actress of Mulan. Mulan's speaking voice is done by Ming-Na Wen who has acted in a bunch of projects since (most know her for her Marvel and Star Wars projects). But Mulan's singing voice is performed by Lea Salonga who is an amazing Filipino singer and actress (and apparently Shay Mitchell's cousin??).
I will never forgive Disney for cutting Li Shang out of the live action version. He's awesome, and the chemistry between him and Mulan is so good. One of Disney's best love interests. Just so long as you avoid the direct to DVD sequel like the plague.
yeah seems like everyone is angry at Li Shang not being in the live action but i don't think any real human would have done him justice in the looks department
You have to realize that Shan Yu said "The Soldier form the Mountain" he didn't say "You were a WOMAN?!" He didn't GIVE AF! Hun Soldiers could be women too. All he saw was a Soldier, not a "woman". But he knows China doesn't use women in war so he didn't assume she took his victory because of their standards, not his own. So he readily and unquestioningly acknowledges her as a soldier. I'm not saying he respects people cause I mean he killed children too but yeah.
Nah I think everyone gets it. He like.... easily acknowledges and respects a military role regardless of gender- despite appearing to have little regard for human life in general
my little brothers and i were obsessed with that movie! i babysit one of their kid's while he works sometimes so she and i watch movies and shows together from time to time. i recently showed her hercules and she's obsessed haha. i used to watch mulan back when i was a kid back to back, i am also autistic so that didn't help lmao, but she's done the same with the shrek series and now hercules. she's 5. 🤣
“1998 was decades ago!” Me who was born in ‘98: 😵💫😵💫 but jokes aside, I’m so happy you did this one, Mulan was a childhood staple for me and it’s so nice to see new people discovering it
Li Shang isn't bi, "Ping" saved his life and that of his army, so he's very grateful that a man he trained did such a feat, but when he learns that it was a woman in the end, it's a shame for him and his army to be saved by a woman, since women were forbidden to go to war. It had no romantic connotations when she was Ping, especially a movie in 1998, they'd never think of making a bi character.
@@spec1512 Well we know but it's good to reclaim Disney's canon events and make it into something cool and fun, we know they'll never have the guts to make a character that important LGBTQ+ lol
one thing i love about mulan is how the songs are so GOOD, but the moment they see the devastation of war - the village destroyed, shang's father having been killed, the bodies - there are no more (new) songs (iirc, it's just the reprise of i'll make a man out of you). the tone of the film shifts, and it's a wonderful bit of storytelling that they do without having to actually /tell/ you anything.
It did. Man who fights can't afford to lose to a girl. Being a girl was a big part of the movie. Girls have "no value" during that time. Big bad Shan Yu was embarrassed.
yes! Li Shang is the bi king we didn't even know we had back then. 💗💜💙 also, I'll Make a Man Out of You always gives me full-body chills. such an incredible song! 🤩

@@spec1512 my guy, bi people existed in 1998. and, *gasp,* they even existed in the film industry. pretty sure i saw it confirmed somewhere that he was, in fact, bi. why does it upset you so much that li shang was attracted to mulan both when he thought she was a guy and after he found out she was girl 😂 you've got that 'homophobe that genuinely, delusionally believes they're not a homophobe' vibes
@@MonAhgasInsomniAroELFIt's not that some people are upset, it's more like we just didn't see it that way. Plus I tried to find the confirmation that he was bi, and the best I found was his voice actor saying "he believes" he comes off gender fluid. Just feels like a bit of a reach.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over and over! It's just one of those films that makes you feel so happy after watching. It's funny, bad ass, romantic, and Mulan herself is so relatable as a person... also it has the amazing Ming-Na Wen, Lea Salonga, Eddie Murphy, George Takei, BD Wong, James Hong... like the cast is studded with talent. As a young girl I never doubted I could kick ass thanks to Mulan.
Li Shang our bi king!!!! Mulan is like top 2 Disney lead girls and she ain’t #2. i would love for you to watch the second one, it’s not a favorite for everyone story wise but I think it’s dramatic, like you really clutch your pearls sometimes.

Life is odd. I had just ate at a restaurant doing karaoke and a guy went up and sang "Ill make a man out of you." Havent watched nor heard Mulan in a long time.
So fun fact the voice actors in Mulan aren’t actually the singers!!! Ming-Na Wen and BD Wong voice Mulan and Shang but Broadway legend Lea Salonga and Donny Osmond (😂) did the singing!!!
Your Disney/Pixar reactions are everything! You have such a nice variety of videos (Saltburn, Percy Jackson, White Chicks, Mulan, who is doing it like you??). Loving your new channel too! 💖

I think this might be my favourite reaction so far this year! 💖 I watched Mulan a thousand times growing up and she was one of my favourite disney characters and I'm so happy that you reacted to it 🥰🥰
Can you react to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron"? It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time i watch it! 😭💔🔥
30:11 See how Shan-yu didn't care or say "You are a woman"..he was just pissed she killed his army because back then.. huns had female soldiers, he was just shocked to see the person that killed 90% of his army..they were more forward than the part of China Mulan is from
So glad you’re reacting to this! One of my favorites from my childhood. And Mulan has always been, and will always be, my answer to the question of who my favorite Disney Princess is. She’s a fecking QUEEN. Smart, strong, willing to do anything to protect her family. What’s not to love? Oh and by the by, “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” is 1000% on my workout playlist. The hype!
The reason is way dummer than you can imagine. Apparently thanks to me2 campaign they deemed Shang as "inapproaprite" partner since he had higher rank than her. Yes, this was the actual stated reason.
@@RobinNicoagain Never mind they didn't even start dating after the movie ended XD. Sure, some snowflakes would make a fuss about it, but I have a feeling, they annoyed a lot more people by removing him XD.
@@leahdavis9434 than they should have respected the real story in the animation too also in the movie ver there’s magic and they changed the male villain to female. So I don’t think that’s a good enough reason, they were going for women empowerment and that’s fine🤷♀️
I’ve been a subscriber for about a month or two and I absolutely adore you! You have helped me through the times when I was feeling down, you have a wonderful aura to you 💓
Definitely react to Hercules next, please! Also, if you're interested in learning more about the elements of Chinese culture in this movie, I'd recommend watching Xiran Jay Zhao's video commentary on the 1998 Mulan. They also did a commentary on the 2020 remake and read it for filth.
As a kid I thought Shang was so elegant and manly and thought he was my fave Disney 'Prince'. Me as a Bi adult is like nahhhh we like him for more than those reasons now 😂😂👀👀

Your joy when watching this could be felt through the screen! You really cheered up my day! You mentioned suggesting other movies to react to near the end, and I want to suggest “The Goonies”. Not a horror movie, so no worries there 😅
A detail I love is that there are no songs between finding the burnt out village and the end credits (apart from a short burst of 'Be a Man' as they're climbing into the palace dressed as women), because they thought songs would undermine the more serious tone of the events from that point.
Aah, you're such a sympathetic person! You seem like you'd be a great person to know.I really like your reactions :D I would probably recommend that you try Perfect Blue, for a different kind of animated movie. It's Japanese and it's... a lot closer to the horror genre that you say you also like.
i just gotta say, i discovered your channel a few months ago and have loved every video since. you emit such a beautiful energy and vibe I'm so so glad I've found you :) keep up the good work darling much love from all of us
I think many can agree Shang is one of Disney's most attractive men. He's great XD And so is this movie! Definitely one of my favorites from their 2D era 💙
It's so much fun to watch your reactions because you enjoy it so thoroughly, make funny jokes and still pay attention to the details 😂😂 I laughed so much while watching, thank you so much!
hey chu💖...just came across your channel through this video and queen do i love it! Your commentary and accent over this absolute animated master piece is just ✨chef's kiss✨...keep up the slayy mate!
I LOVE how you can sense lgbt characters, the radar WORKS btw; i dont know if you will see this, but i would love to see you reacting to "dead poets society" (1989) i have no idea if youve watched it before, but its one of my favorites!

@@spec1512 Dude I know, it's a joke. You don't need to explain a Disney film to me simply because you're so offended at people commenting that a beloved animated character might be bi.
@@mimirants7935 I'm just explaining that it has nothing to do about being bi, but that being considerate or being prroud of someone doesn't mean being in love or sexually attracted
Disney back in the day would have a talking voice actor and a singer to sing the songs. They started using the same person for both roles, which means some voice actors just cant sing as well as others.

Your joy when watching this could be felt through the screen! You really cheered up my day! You mentioned suggesting other movies to react to near the end, and I want to suggest “The Goonies”. Not a horror movie, so no worries there 😅
Chuu will LOVE the sequel because it's a great time to yell at mushu
This is one of the best disney animated films and princesses, amazing songs, beautiful animation, great jokes that aged beautifully too!!
A detail I love is that there are no songs between finding the burnt out village and the end credits (apart from a short burst of 'Be a Man' as they're climbing into the palace dressed as women), because they thought songs would undermine the more serious tone of the events from that point.
I agree. The fact every Disney princess was a top tier soprano was 🤌🏼 Mulan Pocahontas Ariel Jasmine Aurora all the girls could sing down
I train to "Make a Man out of you" 😂❤
Mulans father: “It can’t be.” 😧
You: “It is.” 😌
Me: 🤣🤣🤣
Aah, you're such a sympathetic person! You seem like you'd be a great person to know.I really like your reactions :D
I would probably recommend that you try Perfect Blue, for a different kind of animated movie. It's Japanese and it's... a lot closer to the horror genre that you say you also like.
OMGGGG I LOVE YOU CHU! Mulan is my favvv, this reaction was sooo good! ❤
You will definitely love Hercules.,looking forward to seeing your reaction.
Loved this reaction 💓
The porridge mushu made for mulan is called congee and its delicious
Awww Mulan is one of my favorite Disney movies! It brings back SO many memories for me as a little kid! Glad to see you react to it!
Mulan is one of my favorite Disney princesses because she's very relatable plus she was able to save all of China.
i just gotta say, i discovered your channel a few months ago and have loved every video since. you emit such a beautiful energy and vibe I'm so so glad I've found you :) keep up the good work darling much love from all of us
saw the title and scream laughed you are never wrong!
I loved your reaction ❤ you should definitely watch Disney's Hercules next... It's so good
I have so much love for this film, what an absolute classic! I listen to I’ll Make a Man Out of You more than I should admit to 🤣
I think many can agree Shang is one of Disney's most attractive men. He's great XD
And so is this movie! Definitely one of my favorites from their 2D era 💙
Your videos always improve my mood so much!! Thank you fr fr❤ you’re a healer imo
Mulan is MOTHER. She's my favorite Disney princess. ❤
Also, I wonder, have you watched Studio Ghibli films? Would love to see your reaction to them.
It's so much fun to watch your reactions because you enjoy it so thoroughly, make funny jokes and still pay attention to the details 😂😂 I laughed so much while watching, thank you so much!
hey chu💖...just came across your channel through this video and queen do i love it! Your commentary and accent over this absolute animated master piece is just ✨chef's kiss✨...keep up the slayy mate!
Is anyone else wondering what happened to all those soldiers who were in training?
it is that that mulan was an actual person, there's a ballad about her
This song is so fire 17:36 I sing it to pump me up to this day when I saw it in theatres as a kid
I'm here for the best training song. And for Li Shang.😊
You seemed to enjoy the hell out of this movie and I thank you for sharing it with us
I would love to be your friend 😂 you’re such a joy to watch. Also absolutely react to part two
SCREAMING CRYING I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS REACTION!!!
I LOVE how you can sense lgbt characters, the radar WORKS
btw; i dont know if you will see this, but i would love to see you reacting to "dead poets society" (1989)
i have no idea if youve watched it before, but its one of my favorites!
Li Shang isn't bi, "Ping" saved his life and that of his army, so he's very grateful that a man he trained did such a feat, but when he learns that it was a woman in the end, it's a shame for him and his army to be saved by a woman, since women were forbidden to go to war. It had no romantic connotations when she was Ping, especially a movie in 1998, they'd never think of making a bi character.
@@spec1512 omg dawg just leave it alone. let people headcanon in peace
mulan really is one of the shiniest jewels in the disney renaissance crown!
Hi Chu 💛 I love your reactions especially animation movies from the 90’s 💗
Chuu you gotta watch Tarzan! Another classic w a great soundtrack
my heart is soaringgggg! so happy you watched this! It’s one of my top comfort movies :,) Would love to see how u like the second one
YES MULAN 2
Early finally! I love this film, Li Shang is bi for sure.

@@spec1512 Dude I know, it's a joke. You don't need to explain a Disney film to me simply because you're so offended at people commenting that a beloved animated character might be bi.
@@mimirants7935 I'm just explaining that it has nothing to do about being bi, but that being considerate or being prroud of someone doesn't mean being in love or sexually attracted
Disney back in the day would have a talking voice actor and a singer to sing the songs. They started using the same person for both roles, which means some voice actors just cant sing as well as others.
