The Disney Renaissance Film "Mulan"
Have you ever seen the Disney movie "Mulan"?
"Mulan" is a Disney film set in ancient China, released in the United States in 1998.
Although it didn't perform well at the box office in Japan and has lower recognition compared to other Disney films, it is highly esteemed worldwide.
It is part of what is known as the Disney Renaissance, won the Annie Award for Best Feature, and a sequel was released the following year.
Moreover, a live-action version is scheduled for release in 2020, ensuring that this Disney film will become popular once again! ♡
The Strong and Justice-Filled Princess Mulan ♡
The protagonist of "Mulan" is Fa Mulan (花木蘭), the only daughter of the Fa family.
Bright and filled with a sense of justice, the tomboyish Mulan disguises herself as a man and cuts her long hair to take her elderly father's place in the army.
The film depicts fierce battles against the invading Huns, as well as a sweet romance with Captain Li Shang (李翔) that she meets in the army.
While it’s not a typical princess story where she ends up with a prince, Mulan changes her fate with her own courage and ingenuity, saving her loved ones, making her a role model for girls everywhere! ♡
The songs featured in the Disney movie "Mulan" are also famous for being sung by major artists.
Let's take a look at them!
Mulan's Insert Song 1: Reflection
The first song I’d like to introduce is the theme song "Reflection."
It is sung by Christina Aguilera, a representative diva from the United States.
This heartbreaking and beautiful song expresses Mulan's struggles as an ordinary girl who disguises herself as a man to join the war, with lyrics that resonate with the question, "When will I be able to be my true self?"
If you want to use it for a wedding, it would be perfect for the bride's upbringing part of the profile movie or during the bride's letter scene.
Among the insert songs in "Mulan," "Reflection" is the most recognized and popular, also covered by famous artists! ♡
Here’s a version by Ariana Grande from the past. ♩
Mulan's Insert Song 2: Bring Honor to Us
Next up is the song "Bring Honor to Us."
At the beginning of the story, Mulan's concerned mother sets up an arranged marriage. This song is about Mulan being dressed up to impress the matchmaker.
It sings about becoming a lovely wife so that her husband can earn achievements, contrasting Mulan's strong character with traditional female roles.
The lyrics may not align with contemporary marriage views, but it's a lively song with an Asian flavor that could work well as background music during a traditional attire entrance at a celebration! ♡
Mulan's Insert Song 3: I'll Make A Man Out Of You
"I'll Make A Man Out Of You" depicts Mulan's struggles after enlisting in the army.
You might find yourself shedding tears watching the determined Mulan undergo tough training among male comrades. It’s hard to believe that love blooms here, as she’s being pushed hard by Captain Li Shang...
The melody, vocals, and lyrics exude a masculine strength, making it a recommended background track for segments focused on the groom.
Mulan's Insert Song 4: A Girl Worth Fighting For
"A Girl Worth Fighting For" is a song sung by the men of the army dreaming of their beloved women waiting back home. In simple terms, it expresses the desire to act impressively and be popular.
It's a comedic and upbeat song that brings a bright, fun vibe! ♩
This would also be a great choice for scenes related to the groom, such as his absence.
Mulan's Insert Song 5: True To Your Heart
Finally, the song "True To Your Heart" is featured at the end of the film "Mulan." Many people may recognize this song even if they haven’t seen the movie!
It’s performed by the boy band 98 Degrees, who were active in the mid-90s. ♩
This song carries a message from a male perspective to the woman of destiny, with positive lyrics about believing in the future.
Its catchy pop melody makes it suitable for any scene at a wedding reception. I recommend using it during the mingling time after the toast! ♩
