Mulan | Location: | Chps 5, 9, 17 |
| Features: | Surround effects and imaging. | | Description: | Yea, it's a kids movie. So sue me, I have kids. I'm not usually much on musicals, but the song scenes are where this disk truly shines. Full use of the surrounds during all music numbers, and of coure the classic rolling thunder at the beginning of chapter 9; you can almost feel the falling rain. | |
