Best Musical Number from Mulan Animated Film


The original Mulan featured a piece called "Short Hair". Mulan decides, after seeing the pain that her father's military orders inflicts on her parents, she decides that she will take his place on the battlefield.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGcikKkIlhw That instrumental number with horns and drums is the backbone of Mulan's theme. The music paces the somber quiet moment with the first shift being when Mulan forms her decision and the drums (percussion) begins. The second shift starts with the horns sequencing in when Mulan cuts her hair.

The point that she cuts her hair is one of the most powerful moments within the film matched with the "Short Hair" theme building, paced now with drums and horns.

The scene and that score (Mulan's Theme) has to be in this remake. If Disney omits that they must replace it with something equally strong and powerful.

That scene (Mulan's decision) and the number (Short Hair) is pure Disney magic
