5.0 out of 5 stars A great summary of the disney movie!, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney's Mulan Classic Storybook (The Mouse Works Classics Collection) (Hardcover)

This children's storybook is a shortened version of the movie, packed between two hard covers. The wonderful pictures are in full color and relive the movie's magic. A great addition to the disney classic storybook collection that every Mulan fan should have.

This review is from: Disney's Mulan: Collector's Edition (Hardcover)

Another good book on a Disney classic. Full of wonderfull drawings, sketches and animation concepts and background designs. I always buy the "Art of" books Disney puts out on each of their new films. It's always a treat to see how concepts of characters and backgrounds changed as they went along. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes not. Being an artist myself, I always enjoy seeing the drawings of the rough animation and characters studies. It's nice that they included some photos of the original source material from China in the front of the book. This again shows how far Disney's team goes to research a subject. The information and research shows up on the screen. And besides, the books pretty cheap, so you can't go wrong. My only complaint is that it could have been a slightly bigger book page wise.

This review is from: Disney's Mulan Classic Storybook (The Mouse Works Classics Collection) (Hardcover)

My 3 year old daughter is enraptured with the character of Mulan from the Disney movie of the same name..... This Christmas I gave her a Mulan "Barbie" doll and the miniature Mualn figurine from disney (both winners too!). Right after Christmas she mentioned wanting a book about Mulan. I couldn't find one at my local (Barnes and Noble) bookstore so I went online and saw several. I picked this one as it appeared to be the "official" Disney story, meaning the drawings would be the same as in the movie... Well it is all that! It's bigger and thicker than the usual disney books you see in the bookstore (that are square-ish and thin). It takes about 30 minutes to read the whole thing aloud, so it makes a good bedtime read. Anyway, my daughter LOVES her new book and has been sleeping with it beside her every night (next to the two mulan dolls). I think that this book was well worth the money ($11 with shipping I think), which I thought was very reasonable for the size and quality of the book.
