Reflections on Ice: Michelle Kwan Skates to the Music of Disney's 'Mulan'

Michelle takes Disney's Mulan to new graces as she skates the lead in this made for TV production. Featuring an all star cast of lead characters, the songs of the movie are brought to real, bustling life. Along with interviews of the skaters and the movie voice actors, it made for one entertaining hour of Disney TV magic. I have seen several Disney on Ice touring productions but I sure would have loved it if the cast of this took it on the road. It would be sure to get packed houses where ever it would go.

This is a nice retelling of Disney's 36th full-length animated feature film Mulan, where Michelle Kwan plays the lead character as she reenacts the events of the film skating on ice, alongside with other characters from the movie.

You get to hear the wonderful music and songs and see movie clips from the original film while Kwan and others skate brilliantly on the ice. Lots of colorful costumes from the live performers that remind you of the original characters and great choreography in their performances. This TV movie also brings back the nostalgia of the animated film and it is nice to see the characters come to life. A pretty entertaining and fun little TV movie to pass an hour of time.
