It is very nice looking, but the music is decidedly sub-par. The story is a bit lame as well. Not one of Disney's better movies.

Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Disney's animated musical rendering of an ancient Chinese legend, about a headstrong daughter who disguises as a boy in order to take her father's place in the Imperial Army--and bring honor to her family. Strikingly staged and designed, with a strong and appealing leading character; the constant comedy "relief," while funny, seems jarring and unnecessary in such a strong dramatic tale.

Subpar? Yeah, right.
This movie is actually one of Disney's best animated classics.
The songs in it are quite good, especially Donny Osmond's
"Make a Man Out of You." Jerry Goldsmith composes yet another
great score in his career. While the humor is quite funny,
I did agree with Leonard Maltin that it did seem out of place.
Nevertheless, this is grand entertainment. Great stuff.
It's not bad like Chris says it is.
