I thought I would be disappointed because there was no Mushu, however I did not miss him at all. I think it was a great idea not to include him. My 6 & 9 year olds enjoyed this movie just as much as my husband and I. My 6 year had lots of questions which shows me just how interested and engaged she was. The set was great and I was happy this was not another Disney musical. I definitely intend on watching this again.
