This sounded pretty fun, so I decided to give it a go! Just a warning - NSFW as I did end up swearing (those who know me will be split into two camps: either 'not surprised' or 'Amy SWORE?!' I am a mystery wrapped in an enigma, people. And modest, too.)

Woke up yesterday with a sudden yen to watch Mulan again. It's my favourite Disney movie by far - not only does it have great songs (even among a complete canon of wonderful Disney songs) but the 'princess' is independent, strong and defeats the enemy pretty much single-handedly, while making the 'prince' fall in love with her. Plus for an animated character Shang is pretty hot, but that might just be me :D

Anyway, I've since 'acquired' Mulan 2, and though I suspect it's going to be dire I'm kinda excited about watching it, you guys!


ON AN UNRELATED NOTE, Elijah Wood is going to be reprising his role as Frodo Baggins in The Hobbit! It's likely to be part of a framing story in which the story of the film is being told to him, and allowing them to connect the two more strongly, but still, pretty weird/awesome. Also Orlando Bloom is likely to be in the films, which is news I can't decide whether I like or not - I have to say he pretty much ruled in the original trilogy, but he's done so little recently. At least he's hopefully not idiot enough to turn down this opportunity at a reprise of his most popular role, unlike his turning down the new Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which I still think is utterly barmy. Seriously, Orlando, what have you been in that anyone has heard of recently? Take the job and boost your signal so people know who you are again, and cast you again! IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, ORLI. IT'S BASIC MATHS OR WHATEVS. Ahem.
