Movie surfers go inside Mulan.
Mulan is a 1998 American animated musical action-comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan. The 36th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, it was directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook, with story by Robert D. San Souci and screenplay by Rita Hsiao, Philip LaZebnik, Chris Sanders, Eugenia Bostwick-Singer, and Raymond Singer. Ming-Na, Eddie Murphy, Miguel Ferrer and BD Wong star in the English version, while Jackie Chan provided his voice for the Chinese dubs of the film. The film's plot takes place during the Han Dynasty, where Fa Mulan, daughter of aged warrior Fa Zhou, impersonates a man to take her father's place during a general conscription to counter a Hun invasion.
Released during the Disney Renaissance, Mulan was the first of three features produced primarily at the Disney animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. Development for the film began in 1994, when a number of artistic supervisors were sent to China to receive artistic and cultural inspiration. Mulan was well received by critics and the public, grossing $304 million, earning Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, and winning several Annie Awards including Best Animated Feature.
This was aggressively 90's.
ik i love it
i love it it's like a time capsule
The kids saying “how do I do that” when someone asked them to press a button on the computer when kids can do most stuff on technology nowadays was crazy to hear even if it was only for effect
Ming-Na certainly aged well when comparing her appearance here voicing Mulan to her other character Melinda May in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
twist58 she looks like she has barely aged!
Don’t forget, she’s also Fennec Shand in “Mandalorian” and “Book of Boba Fett.”
Before production began, the production team sought out Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, or Korean vocal talents. Tia Carrere was an early candidate to voice the title character. However, Lea Salonga, who had been the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin, was initially cast to provide both Mulan's speaking and singing voices, but the directors did not find her attempt at a deeper speaking voice when Mulan impersonated Ping convincing, so Ming-Na Wen was brought in to speak the role. Salonga returned to provide the singing voice. Wen herself landed the role after the filmmakers listened to her narration at the beginning of The Joy Luck Club. Coats reflected on her decision, stating, "When we heard Ming-Na doing that voice-over, we knew we had our Mulan. She has a very likable and lovely voice, and those are the qualities we were looking for."
Yeah Ming is 59 years young going on 35. She’s looks amazing today.
Lea Salonga.... love her voice. So excited about her return to Broadway this fall in Allegiance
Michael I. Haber let’s not forget she was singing jasmine
I know that.
@@Scottwilkie18 and Nala singing voice too
For the role of Mushu, Disney was aiming for top Hollywood talent in the vein of Robin Williams's performance as the Genie in Aladdin. The filmmakers initially approached Joe Pesci and Richard Dreyfuss until Michael Eisner considered Eddie Murphy. After accepting the role, Murphy initially balked when he was asked to record at the Disney studios, but then asked to record the voice in his basement at his Bubble Hill mansion in Englewood, New Jersey.

For the speaking voice of Captain Li Shang, BD Wong was hired, although his singing voice, for the song "I'll Make a Man Out of You", was performed by Donny Osmond, who had previously auditioned to be the speaking voice of the title character in Hercules. Osmond's casting originated from a suggestion from the casting director, and throughout recording, Osmond studied Wong's dialogue tapes, and aimed to match his inflections and personality. Osmond commented that his sons decided that he had finally "made it" in show business when he was in a Disney film.
This is neat, do you have a source?
@@zachadaman Yes. Go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulan_(1998_film).
The reason why Eisner wanted Eddie Murphy as Mushu? Simple; he worked with Eddie back when he was the head honcho of Paramount! Of course Jeffrey Katzenberg also nabbed Eddie for Shrek!
eisner YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN
the stuff with the kids...just ugh stop. I just wanna see how the movie is made!
exactly!!
So true help I wish they cut it out
That's the late 90s for you
R.I.P Pat Morita
a true talent indeed REST IN PEACE ❤
I was kinda hoping that there would be some recorded footage of Eddie actually doing his readings in front of the mic.

I just found out that Ming-Na Wen, aka Melinda May from Agents of Shields does the voice of Mulan!!! What!!!
Gemma Gemma exactly why I'm here lol
Yeah. Pat Morita from Karate Kid is here too!!
damn bianca, get your shit together and quit surfing.
Don't you have an X-file to solve or something Mulder?
+Infinite Sky absolutely I do. It's called procrastinating.
xD ahahah
Anna Adams io
Having worked with Art Director Hans Bächer, it's quite refreshing seeing him talking subdued and not cursing at everything.😅
Sounds like very German behavior lol
Hollywood Mulan
I didn't know that was Christina Milian 😮
Michelle me too
She looks more darker then
I was just....... wow
RIP Pat Morita and Animator Pres Romanillo.
And RIP June Foray.
Ming Na Wen hasn’t aged a single day in over 20 years. What a goddess.
she has...not much though
Damn Lea Salonga did the singing for Mulan as well, she’s so fricking talented
Fun fact is that bd Wong briefly appears in karate kid 2
I miss watching the Movie Surfers on TV. Old Disney was the best. My dad told me that music from Lea Salonga was going to be heard on his store's P.A. system.
I loved the Mulan movie since my childhood sure does bring back memories I still know all the songs, and the quotes to it good times.
Right
19:10 - 19:15 He's absolutely right about that. Martial arts should only be used for defense. Defense is the purpose of martial arts.
I remember this!!!! A young Christina Milian!!!
she looks just like mulan
YASSS!!!!
Ming Nag Wen also played as Chun-Li Zang in Street Fighter before she did the voice of Mulan
+Jerra Maurice She also stars in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC
Alex Tan I'm still on Season 1.
+Alex Tan. Exactly right. She's Melinda May in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She aged well too following from Mulan.
2:29 But then, everything changed when the huns attacked. Only Mulan, China's bravest warrior, could stop them
Omg I love you
Oh god, the scenes with the kids are cringe-worthy.
remsan03 ....I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Aren't they terrible? I don't get it; the director didn't even try.
Try what?
remsan03 90s dude
That's what makes it awesome!
Omg the movie surfers! They need to bring this back !
I wish Disney still did Disney Movie Surfers stuff like this... :(
4:19 5:02 5:09 5:28 5:53 7:35 8:07 8:13 8:40 9:09 9:38 10:06 10:53 15:23 18:31 19:38 20:02 20:25 20:38 21:48
General Shang was my first crush ever X'D
RIP Miguel
Thankyou so much for posting this!
Wow thank you for the upload. This brings back memories, I remember watching this. I used to love this show. It made me want a laptop with internet lol
I wish disney would return to this style of animation. This cgi stuff their doing now I'm not fond of it.
How did I end up here. Oh the childhood memories. Mulan, forever a favorite. Also why did Christina Millian go by Tina? Lol
Good question
Jerry Goldsmith didn't get acknowledged at all as the composer.
I know right? Jerry Goldsmith is my all time favorite composer, and it's sad that they didn't recognize the man who gave them their sole Oscar nomination (along with the two songwriters).
@@jandreidrn true the man is brilliant
Although Danny Elfman and Thomas Newman were considered to score the film, English composer Rachel Portman was selected as the film composer. However, Portman became pregnant during production, and decided to back out. Following Portman's departure, Randy Edelman-whose Dragonheart theme was used in the trailer-and Kitarō were considered, until Jerry Goldsmith became available and signed on after dropping out of a project.
This is so great! I loved all the information on Mulan, but the late-90s-ness of it was also just hilarious!
I never realized how much I miss these
14:42 Aaron Blaise is an American painter, animator, film director and art instructor. In 1989 he started working as an animator and supervising animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios for 8 years on such films as The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Starting in 1997, he worked as a director for 12 years, and co-directed Brother Bear, a nominee for the 76th Academy Award for Animated Feature. After its release he relocated to Disney's Burbank animation studios where he developed several projects.
15:24 "How Lucky could they be? they're dead?" lmao
The worlds first zoom call.
Oh man that was a nostalgia hit
The instructor at the beginning is Sifu Kenneth Edwards! He’s very nice. He’s an Eagle Claw Kung Fu instructor! He’s also in Mortal Kombat as Art Lean.
They didn't show us that they interviewed Eddie Murphy talking about Mushu from Mulan?
They don't ever interview top celebrities I think
Neither did B.D. Wong, James Hong, James Shigeta, Miguel Ferrer, and others.
Eddie Murphy, who at first balked when asked to record at the Disney studios. He then asked to record the voice in his basement at his Bubble Hill mansion in Englewood, New Jersey.
@@jwelch5742Eddie is billionarie and dont have a camera in his basement?
I love Drew. He's so likable and seems like a genuniely nice person :)
I love the soundtrack!
I seriously wanna make the paper lamps as seen here.
It is so amazing how much work is put into this
You know, it's hard to believe that it has been more than a decade since the late Pat Morita left us to go up to that big movie land in the sky.
Perfect
I wish Ming-Na did Mulan's singing too. That would have been epic. She was Chung-Li! And she's kinda pretty here.
they usually choose professional singers for the roles
Early snapchat. Wow
so back in 98 American kids already have this Skype thing at home? I remember in 1998 this only appeared in sci-fi movies
they didn’t have any Asian Disney kids in the 90s.

To Mulan. International women's day!
If they mentioned “98 degrees” for their contribution, they shoulda given a little snippet/shoutout to Christina A. for “Reflection” as well 😒
I want to pay respect to the Mulan's original team after Disney disrespect them with that shitty live action.
