Inside Mulan 3 Disc Special Edition 2 Movie Collection With Tony & Tom Bancroft

March 12, 2013 by Momstart 4 Comments

Tony Bancroft and his brother Tom Bancroft talked about how much they enjoyed working on Mulan together with us during our most recent trip to LA. We sat down with them, well they didn’t sit, they drew characters from Mulan and Lion King while they talked about how much they love animation. Did you know the identical twin brothers have been in the animation business for over 30 years? Wow that’s over 60 years worth of experience right there. image

I giggle a little bit when I think of how Zoe and Miles draw on each other’s artwork, and how sometimes it doesn’t go over well. The brothers said that yeah, they get irritated with each other but realize that they are just trying to help each other make the project the best it can be. They have worked on Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Emperor’s New Groove

While they talked they shared lots of interesting stories about themselves and working on Mulan. They even shared a few “hidden mickeys” The likenesses of the directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook appear as the firework attendants are frightened by Mushu in the climax. Plus there are a lot of other hidden Mickeys that you can find while watching the movie. I sat down and watched it with my kids and kept looking and looking and started to feel like there were Mickeys in places they weren’t really there. You should try it, get the Blu-ray Special edition of Mulan and check it out for yourself and celebrate the 15th anniversary of Disney’s critically-acclaimed masterpiece.

They were kind enough to create a piece of original art for all 25 of the mommy bloggers on this press junket. Then they even signed them. On each drawing was Mushu and Cricket.

You can also color your favorite characters from Mulan. Download Mulan Coloring sheets here: http://www.di.sn/mulan.

 

 

 

The Press Junket was covered by Disney all travel expenses were taken care of.

15th Anniversary of Disney’s Mulan 2-Movie Collection on Blu-ray 3/12

March 2, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Celebrate the 15th anniversary of Disney’s critically acclaimed masterpiece “Mulan” with this sensational 2-Movie Collection – presented for the first time in Blu-ray™ High Definition. Mulan’s triumphant tale of honor, courage and family pride shines brighter than ever with new digitally mastered picture and sound! This weekend is going to be a movie weekend and it’s starting with Mulan and Mulan 2 because on March 12th the Mulan 2-Movie Collection is coming to Blu-ray. It’s been so long since I watched Mulan and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Mulan 2. My daughter knows all about her because she’s a princess and we have her storybook. She is always asking me why it’s so hard to find Mulan’s doll and why she’s not in all the pictures like all the other princesses. Why is that? Why does Mulan get forgotten all the time?

Probably because she’s not your typical princess, she’s the princess to save a nation and not just herself.

Mulan 2 Movie Collection Bluray Box Art

Disney’s original animated classic magically transforms an ancient Chinese legend into a spectacular motion picture event. Relive all the wonder and excitement as Disney’s most courageous princess breaks tradition by joining the Imperial Army accompanied by her hilarious guardian dragon, Mushu. I love being able to share movies I saw as a child or young adult with my children. And I can’t wait to experience Mulan II with them for the first time.

The adventure continues in “Mulan II”, as newly engaged Mulan and Shang journey to a distant city in a valiant quest to save their beloved empire. Families will adore these two extraordinary films on Disney Blu-ray.

Blu-ray Contents: Two Feature Films in Disney Enhanced HD Picture and Sound

11 Deleted Scenes

15 Backstage Disney featurettes

Six music videos including Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, 98 Degrees,

Be sure to see all the deleted scenes and be on the lookout for hidden mickey’s. I’ll tell you all about those later on this month when I share the interview with Tony & Tom Bancroft . The Bancroft Brothers worked on Mulan and Mulan II.

 

We received a sample from Disney.

There is a list of places to enter at the bottom of this post. Here is my princess and all the Disney Princesses too!
