Here's what to know beforehand!
As the film is live-action, the weapons are real and the battles are more intense. While Mulan and her fellow soldiers are in training, there isn't too much action aside from a couple of sword fights, but once the Imperial Army heads into war, the heat turns up.
There are cannons, swords, spears, and arrows; buildings smoke; explosions occur; and soldiers on horseback charge at each other. Of the two battles, the first one is a bit more intense, though during the second, a man falls a looong way to his death. It's not shown in a scary way, per se, but it's clear what happens.Xian Lang — a powerful, shapeshifting witch — is introduced as a somewhat evil character who should be feared . She's an ally to the film's villain, Bori Khan, and appears to be helping him in his attack against China and its emperor. However! Without spoiling too much, her storyline becomes one of my favorites when we learn she's maybe not so scary after all.After being told she desperately needs to shower , Mulan wades naked into a lake in the dark, her body shown from behind but blurred out and slightly hidden behind cherry blossoms, so you can't really see anything. During the rest of the scene, Mulan desperately hides all of her bits to avoid being found out by , who abruptly enters the lake — also naked — and stands within a 10-foot distance of Mulan while they have a brief chat.is two full hours, and while you don't have to worry about choosing the right scene to miss in order to run to the bathroom at the theater, it's still a long time for a young kid to sit still. But don't worry: there are plenty of opportune times to pause and take a bathroom or snack break.This one isn't exactly"something to be aware of," but it's worth noting that the concepts in this film — gender roles, family honor , lying, etc. — are all things that could lend to thoughtful conversations with your kids. Do you feel there's a difference between lying to protect your family — as Mulan does — and true dishonesty? How does Mulan's gender play a role in what she's assumed to do as a young woman, as opposed to what is expected of men of the same age? Depending on the ages of your kiddos, these discussions could turn into really awesome ones!
