      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In the direct-to-video sequel to the original "Mulan," we find General Shang riding up on his horse to ask "Mulan II" marry him. The Emperor calls on the happy couple to escort his three daughters to Qui Gong, so they may forge an alliance with the enemy to stop the Mongols from attacking and destroying them. The General consents to the mission, but Mulan doesn't agree with the idea of arranged marriages and is sure to let Shang know how she feels. Meanwhile, Mushu the dragon and Cri-Kee the cricket have gone along for the ride, and Mushu is anxious to add fuel to the fire having decided that with Shang in Mulan's life there will be no place for him. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
