Mulan

When an emperor orders one man from each family to join the army, a spirited young woman secretly takes her ailing father’s place. Disguised as a man, she faces military trials, dangerous battles, and pressure to hide her abilities while discovering the strength needed to protect her family and country.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy visually rich historical action, martial-arts spectacle, and stories about courage and family duty; Not for you if you want the animated film’s songs, humor, and warmth.
