Mulan

When I got home tonight the little one was watching Mulan which makes me very happy. I love it when she watches stories with strong female characters, especially in a fantasy setting. Obviously ancient China isn’t exactly a fantasy setting but when you add dragons and spirits its close enough. Add on top the love between the father and daughter and you might be able to see why I hope she watches this over and over again.
During the course of the movie my little girl had a few questions. Here were the two I wanted to share that I thought fully illustrates just how geeky I can be:
Q) (After Mulan has taken a vicious sword strike she falls in pain.) What’s wrong with her?
A) She just took 1d8 + 12 damage to the chest.
Q) (Upon seeing the BBG’s hand break the surface of the snow after the avalanche.) What’s that?
A) The bad guy. You know it’s hard to keep a high level barbarian down.
Now I must go as The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother is playing and is taking up a good bit of my attention now. That is a whole other genre of entertainment to get my daughter hooked on though perhaps in a few more years when she can really start to appreciate the genius of Gene Wilder.
