My god, that ad was out of nowhere lol
Maybe The Next Episode of Animat Watches Should Be "Animat Watches Animal Kingdom: Let's Go Ape".
This Friday is going to be the Disney anime look back
"What do we want?" To find out how this adaptation of the Mulan legend isn't the triump that anyone needs. Stay safe and keep it up!
The Secret of Mulan was a mixup of Mulan and A Bug’s Life
And not a good kind
Mulan 1998: A princess* who kicks butt, a lesson not just on girl power but thinking differently and looking from a different angle. Honestly one of Disney's better movies outside the obvious renaissance runners. Not to mention some great music and top notch cel animation.
Mulan 2020: Unskilled retelling trying to be more serious but comes off more bland. Believe in yourself but only if you're born magical and the huns are more likely to hire diverse employees than the chinese
Secret of Mulan: She's not the only girl, everyone is bugs for some reason, pay your evil vizier or they will poorly betray you, and the attempts of comedy may cause anger and depression.
@Matthew Henninger-Vonada yeah. atleast it made you felt something
Mulan 2. The movie that killed Mulan's character by making her a very sensitive woman who only cares about her and everyone else's feelings, instead of the duty she was assigned to. At the end, she let China die.
Lmao you’re joking right? Did you seriously just call Mulan a good film? Seriously??
Not Cel animation.
The rat guy is pretty much Bootleg Master Splinter
There's no other way to describe him 🤷♂️
Turtles:🎵🎶 I hate Splinter!🎶🎵
Bootleg Master Splinter mixed with Brian from Family Guy
If you think that’s ridiculous...
Look up the previous two “Secret of...” installments! The one where Quasimodo gets wings (He secretly drank Red Bull offscreen...) and the one with Anastasia and her talking instrument family (AKA Disney’s B&tB comic relief rejects)!
I will now forever associate Quasimodo with Red Bull. Thanks...
I wouldn't be surprised if the movie was originally going to be made with human characters, and making them bugs was a last minute desicion. The character models look like just humans with extra legs, wings, antennae and bug mandibles.
What if they were supossed to be humans and someone behind the scenes decided "let's add extra limbs and stuff to turn them into bugs".
She's part Miraculous Bug! I knew It! Who else knew Master Splinter used to work for Mulan before raising his 4 sons as well. (Jokes aside anyway.)
The secret was pretty stupid in the first place.
You should see the secret of Anastasia, at least Mulan is mostly mythical and very loosely based on what could have been real people
He has to watch weird rip-offs like this for a living 😂😂 love you animat!
Better than watching that horrid Disney movie
We gotta give them props for animating all the legs on these insect-centaurs.
"I'll make a pest out of you."
After this Animat will be terrified of the word "musical" for the rest of his life
"...like the extra cash I got for sponsoring this..." This is why we love you. :-)
That shrew/mole thing sounds like Homer Simpson. XD
So he's a mix of a Bootleg Master Splinter, Brian from Family Guy AND Homer Simpson?
What ELSE is this movie doing it's best to ripoff?!,
I grew up with this movie! I adored it! I always thought it was cute and fun and loved the songs! And thought the prince was handsome and charming and liked the romance between him and Mulan. I actually really liked it! I came upon it again in my teens on YT and it made me so happy. It wasn't great, per se, and as a writer myself who is interested in film, I can see all the problems, but... It still warms my heart. Believe it or not, I still listen to the "Do What I Must Do" song when I need a little inspiration to do better.
Animat should watch the Goodtimes Aladdin rip off
Its basically Mulan except everything awesome is removed
Wait....you’re joking right?
@Matthew Henninger-Vonada wut
Unrelated, but omg the Princess Daphne cel on the wall! That's so cool!!
Two of the first animated films I saw in cinemas, A Bug's Life and Mulan, inspired this dud?
But you know what the saddest thing is? The Land Before Time sequels had better musical numbers than this film. At least they let you know they are musicals, they are better animated and for the most part, they serve a purpose to the plots, and I can guarantee at least one of them might stick in your head like for me, the ones I remember are Eggs, When You're Big, Big Water and Friends for Dinner. Similarly, the songs from the Spongebob TV movie, Atlantis Squarepantis, while pretty bland and forgetful, they at least motivate the characters and relate to the plot. Heck, they even have a few interesting visuals to go along with them. They may not be the greatest songs but they have more of a point than this film could ever imagine.
A bugs life & mulan were awful films. This is at least so bad it’s good
@@theninthheart4736 Please tell me you're talking about 2020 remake of Mulan or Mulan 2?
You didn't get anything and you lost 50 minutes of your life.
Funny thing, my mom actually bought this for me by mistake because she was in such a rush to grab a VHS copy of Mulan. For a while, I thought it was the Disney version. Lol.
Thank heavens my mom realized the mistake and bought me the right one soon.
I was 4. Good times.
That disney movie was putrid
I think the dragonfly girl maybe is allowed bc she's just a messenger and not a soldier? Maybe this military has a rule that women cannot join the army as actual warriors but they can be the intelligence? Im sure I;m thinking about it more than the writers but this is what came to my mind. also Mulan has more screentime chemistry with the dragonfly than she has with the prince...
could someone tell me what's the name of this piano music playing at the beginning and end of every Animat watches Video?!
13:43 Ah. Well... I attended Juliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK!? You think I'm qualified?
AniMat Seal of Garbage review coming right up!
I’m with you buddy because I really like when he gives bad movies the Animat Seal of Garbage and I’m prepared for it.
Holy christ, we're in for a real treat. A bad treat of knock-off nausea.
Let’s get down to business to roast the film
This movie is full of bugs indeed.
Since when has other reviewers having gone to review something ever stopped Mat from going and reviewing it himself? Let Mat go and watch/review whatever he wants-or whatever someone is paying him to watch. As long as he's not just doing it because it's trendy or because it's what everyone else is going to be talking about, I'm okay with with it. (To me though, my favorite watch-through of this movie will always be MHTV by Diva of Musical Hell!)
You know another reason why many of the crew behind 'Mulan' might not have been fond of Crikee? Because that whole notion of crickets being considered "good luck" is total poppycock (at least, from what I gathered on Chinese culture). Just one of the more glaring inaccuracies with the movie in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a great movie, in spite of how "authentic" it may or may not be as representation, but I'd be lying if I said I was able to ignore them altogether. (And there's no point in even trying to compare that movie to this sh*tfest!)
I bet during Christmas time Animat should do animat watches Rudolph the red nose reindeer ripoff from Goodtimes entertainment. Goodtimes made a lot of ripoffs just like golden films
Oh geez, that's actually half way to a real movie but shows they can really only handle budget rip off work.
Petrico94 Yeah
@@greshaminc156 that’s a terrible suggestion. That’s one of their better productions. The main golden/goodtimes flicks worth reviewing are the Eskanazi & Slapcynzki directed ones
Who wants animat to watch the last air bender but he has to watch book 1 so he doesn’t get confused
Why does that 2nd song sound like ''Wherever You Will Go'' by The Calling
I think there are live action versions of Mulan- one is miniseries I think and another has Mulan accidentally engaged to a princess.
6:00 Меня одного пугает то, что этот Таракан (или как там его) находится слишком близко к камере и постоянно ухмыляется?
Am i the only one who is creeped out by this Abysmallo-Khan (or whatever it is) being too close to the camera and constantly grining?
This is still better than the live-action Mulan movie.
It’s better than the d isney movie as wel
So is Mat doomed to eventually watch the other two "Secret of" movies like everyone else who talks about them...?
Like phelous
Some day you should marathon GoodTimes Entertainment's movies. They have Disney rip-offs and original movies of their own, it's almost worth it to dive on their history. Almost.
Phelous already took care of that... but there’s still more for him though...
Wow yeah not like everyone doesn’t already know who freaking Goodtimes/Golden are. Durp. Thanks for clueing us in! Also, goodtimes >>>>> disney
@@TheBranMan100 Phelous has barely scratched the surface. He’s actually fallen off quite a bit lately, save for a few reviews. He keeps reviewing meh/decent productions instead of entertainingly bad ones
Cue Pumaman theme song! 🎶🦋🎶
This was my favourite movie as a kid 😭😭
In the thumb nail the mulan looked like a Bratz character to me.
4:40 Oooh Canadian Money
I love this guy!
I would be interest in seeing Phelous review or you react to the Prince of Egypt mockbuster (Moses: Egypt’s Great Prince) mostly because it’s everything the Siskel and Ebert review said the original movie wasn’t
Phelan has really fallen off as of late.
I think the bugs and mammals are same size because it's easier to animate chacacters that are of same size. Mammals are servants or sidecharacters to distinct them from other more important characters (mammals are also easier to draw). The choices where artistic or cheap because they did not want to use extra money on anything, animation is expensive.
How has Disney not sue these companies who rip off their movies?
Daniel Sarti Since a lot of the movies are based on traditional folktales, the companies probably claim, " No, it's not a rip-off of your film! It's simply based on the same story you based yours on! Prove it's not!" They probably also claim their films are parodies or homages and are thus protected by fair use. Maybe there's a legal professional here who can provide a better answer.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra That is true, but they have gone to court with some of the straight to video films like Aladdin for looking too similar to theirs.
Random Bug: I GOT NUDES!!!
Me: WHAT?!
I was hearing "I've got shoes!"
Do the secret of snow White and anastasia
Is Mulan a public Domain property? Because I’m surprised someone actually let these people make a Mulan movie.
What was Mulan's secret?
She was a bug
😂
Let’s get down to business to defeat Goodtimes!
For Christmas react to mgm’s animated babes in toyland
15:17 "walking animation"
Can't wait for your review of the remake next week!
Chris Howerton He BETTER rate it positive *OR ELSE!!*
@@thefreerepublicofadmiralpr2935 OK.
The remake? Wut?
Who wants animat to review the Disney mock busters
You decided to do this in honor for the remake that we have to purchase for $30 on Disney+.
Eli Grande I’m watching it first thing *tomorrow!* 😁
@@thefreerepublicofadmiralpr2935 huh ?
The remake? We?
@@theninthheart4736 Oh yeah, I watched it and it’s really good. It’s free now on Disney+, so you should give it a watch. A definite recommend from me.
This should be fun
You think this is bad, wait till you see the Golden Films version of Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s even WORSE...
Devan Hinskey Interesting.
7:17 Hey, the end credits! Well, it was a terrible movie, at least it was short!
I have a question. What do you think is the worse: The first song in this movie, or the pirate song from "Планетата на съкровищата treasure planet"?
Treasure planet is amazing. The soviet one right?
@@theninthheart4736 it's bulgarian. And bulgaria never was a part of soviet union
@@ДмитрийИванов-л9ц4й treasure planet was produced by a soviet film studio called Boyana. And the Bulgarian people’s republic might as well have been part of the ussr. It was a part of the Bloc
He's also Splinter.
You Should Watch Animal Kingdom: Let's Go Ape In Your Next "Animat Watches" Series
He's so SMOL!!!
be a man we must be swift as the coursing river with all the force of a great typhoon with all the strength of a raging fire mysterious as the dark side of the moooon
havik shinigami Time is racing toward us ‘till the Huns arrive. Heed my every order and you might survive…You’re unsuited for the rage of war, so pack up go home, you’re through…How could I make a man out of yoooooooooou?
But he's adorable!
26:25 That sounded okay too...
Now you have to say "the ANIMATED Disney version", thanks to the bland live action remake
That sponsor was... Extremely intrusive to the video. Put that at the very beginning or the very end
12:30 Words aside...I think it....SOUNDS okay.
Mat, you should totally Play Ghost of Tsushima, it'll be worth it
Teag Brohman I’d recommend the Last of Us Part 2 first, but Ghosts of Tsushima is good too.
"I've got loot" not "I've got nudes" lol
If you think that's bad, check out The Secret of the Hunchback
The Secret of The Hunchback in my opinion is the best of the "secert of" movies this one is rock bottom for me
Mat. Musical Hell also did a watch thing: ua-cam.com/video/tMRlZXS27cU/v-deo.html
I'm sorry mat but the if you tweeked the cockroach sidekick's design he kinda looks like you
Well this movie had to move fast, bugs how short life spans
Still better than the remake.
I just wanna take this time and apologize to Mulan II. I thought it sucked, but THIS garbage proved otherwise
IKR?
Connor Plisga Mulan II was good, but I’ll respect my opinion if you respect mine.
I’m sure if Doug walker saw this he would reconsider his dislike for Mulan 2.
Oh boy you’re about to watch this mulan rip off, tell phelous I said hi
5:31
I gave The Secret of Anastasia a two out of five because despite a pair of plot twists that are ridiculously obvious, a lot of the stuff in that movie was serviceable whether it be the animation, characters, songs, story, or the one action scene (to be fair, I haven't actually seen Don Bluth's Anastasia). The Secret of Mulan contains almost no story, choppy animation, terrible songs, an army that is incompetent without the title character, bug characters that only serve to rip off A Bug's Life, and an incredibly rushed romance. This is terrible! This is crap! This deserves a zero out of five!
How about react to Archie's and the JugMan next
Do a reviwe so i can see the score
FURYboy 3000 I think we can predict.
The Free Republic of Admiral Producer It will get a 3/10 with the AniMat seal of garbidge
FURYboy 3000 Correct. Judging by his reaction, that result is in order.
The next movies you should watch are Artemis Fowl, Freddy Got Fingered, and Movie 43. Because those are the worst movies I’ve ever seen
A Bugs' Life and the original Mulan movie was way better
Yeah, I only saw this once (til now, I guess, since I've now seen it twice) and ONLY because I'd bought a 7 movie DVD pack because I thought one of the movies was something it wasn't.
Plus, I bought it from a Cash Converters so it was only $3 and, thankfully, two of the discs didn't work so I was able to return it for an exchange for a Power Rangers DVD.
So glad because this movie sucks SO BAD!
In fact, when I watched it, when it got to the end credits, my literal first thought was "so... when's the movie gonna start?"
29:04 (^v^)
Man, even Widget the World Watcher is better than this, and that show's cheesy and preachy af.
What
Eye rolling for this ripoff's songs
Hey this company also ripped off anastasia and snow white
1st comment so yay
No one cares your not the president
Lena Lino No. But let’s congratulate him anyway.
Dude........I watched this movie. It sucked so much, I watched it when I was at my mom friends house
This Movie Is Awful 😤
Alexander Heidelberg I liked it, but not as much as the original Disney movie. That one was a gem.
You’re right about this movie.
It definitely deserves much hate as possible.
This original Mulan movie is a thousand times better than this god awful garbage movie.
Mat, could you *STOP* putting *ADS* before you *actually* review/watch *the damn thing?!*
Money.
