I loved this movie so much as a young tween; and now Iโm realizing itโs because itโs Mulan, but with WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants). So Mulan came out in 1998, and this movie premiered on the Disney Channel in 2001. Did Disney just re-package Mulan to appeal more to White people?Welp, I loved Mulan, so it made sense that I loved this as well. Crazy! I only put that together in 2024โฆ ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ The movies are so similar!! There was even a pond/lake scene like in Mulan.
Anyways, this is a movie about girl-power and following your dreams, even in a manโs world. I just had so much love for this movie as a kid. Cheesiness and all! Got to love a classic DCOM. Youโll definitely want to rewind and watch this magical movie again, even if just to relive your tween years.
