This scene in the movie is so powerful, the determination she had to not only save her father but also her people knowing very well she may not come back alive. She didn't go to become a hero, she's went because she knew it's the right thing to do.

Let’s just imagine that there was never a live action Mulan....

The synth part makes it probably the most dramatic scene in the whole film, and I cannot believe they cut it out of the soundtrack. Wtf. It's so emotional, contemplative and determined.

I put this on while trying to figure out where my keys are

1:07 the badassness begins. I'm so glad to have grown up with these movies

I remember being small and watching this part of the movie and rewinding my VHS over and over again because I was spellbound by this piece of music. It's just magical.

1:39 This moment just makes me want to rise up and prepare for battle. Lead the way Mulan.

Mulan has a badass theme that most male film heroes would kill to have

When people say Moana is Disney’s strongest female lead I will direct them to this glorious scene

"Ancestors, hear our prayer. Watch over Mulan..."

Her theme is so damn cool. She's by far my favorite Disney character to ever be made. She's so amazing oh my gosh

amazing. Mulan it's such a strong character and stands for women. She didn't give up on anything that came her way. She was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect a loved one. I know she is only a character from an cartoon but she is an inspiration.

I had the pleasure of watching this masterpiece in theatres. As a 5 year old boy, I was blown away.

Listening to this as I intensely make a sandwich

This scene better be in the live action movie or I'll be pissed this scene means a lot

"Sometimes a true warrior must put aside his duty and follow his heart"

Best part of the movie right here. The music gets me EVERY time!

Me picking myself up from a finals week breakdown to finish studying

Even when I saw this movie in theaters in my teens, this music + the scene itself were so empowering to me it gave me goosebumps. Still does!!

Sometimes when the epic part kicks in, the hair on my arms stands on end, or I tear up. Dang I love Mulan, she's so incredibly driven, and the way she's so level-headed when it matters most is a refreshing change from the freak-out-and-faint type heroine. Of course I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said; almost everyone who's familiar with her recognizes her awesomeness. ^-^

I get chills every time. 1:03

Start playing at 1:06 as you walk away from a huge argument with someone and loudly proclaim "I'LL SHOW YOU". slow motion walks work best for this

1:06 There's no turning back, I gotta take a brave decision... 1:39 This it...chills all over me... now really there's no turning back I have to do it ...

...ive shaved my beard to this theme in my head hahaha

Mulan is by far my favourite disney princess because she is super brave, selfless and shows how through hard work and dedication you can achieve anything you want

My favorites: Mulan and Pocahontas. Two strong, brave, fearless woman who love her family.

Disappointed they skipped this scene over in the live action. It would have been nice to see their take on it

Jerry Goldsmith, one of my favorite composers ever. His surname was appropriate: he made gold.

Everyone likes to agree that the badness begins at 1:07 But I believe it's the beginning. When the heaviness comes in. When raw emotions settle and the violin pull at your heartstrings. Decisions are then Made. That's nobility.

This soundtrack is epic. I get goosebumps everytime I listen to this 🙌

When Disney actually tried with their movies.

The synth is what really makes this all kinds of epic.

If they remove this from the live remake I will throw hands

RIP Jerry Goldsmith, your music lives on. I know you are watching down frustrated at how film music doesn't hold much uniqueness anymore.

Never understood why this version wasn't on the score soundtrack. It's the best piece in the film. The other version totally sucks!

I get chills every time I hear this. Even though Mulan was released by Disney, the overall plot was real. I wish Disney would make more movies like this.

Ooooh boi that 80s vibe is amazing

1:05 I was almost in tears of how powerful this part is and how Mulan decides to break all of the rules and protect her family

This is my favorite piece form the soundtrack (and also my favorite scene from the movie). I cry every time I listen to it, it's so powerful.

that is such a badass poster! her face looks so badass

I’m upset this song wasn’t in the live action movie or for that matter that the movie didn’t give this scene as much screen time as it deserved.

This song kicks ass

Jerry Goldsmith is fucking awesome. Mulan is definitely one of his most underrated works. Phenomenal work especially this part. He likes to work with synths the best way possible to integrate them into the classic orchestral sound.

There's a special circle of hell for whoever decided to **NOT** have this in the remake...

Should be playing every time I make a decision.

Listening to this while riding is YES.

A Mulan movie is incomplete without Jerry Goldsmith's music.

this beat drops so hard

When you only listen to the synths, it kinda sounds like a training montage from an epic 80s kung fu film.

This sounds stupid but I had a stroke back in 2018. I was paralysed for 4 hours. I thought that this was it. I was put on bed rest for 4 months and I had no friends as they ditched me and they went out on the town and not invite me. I told my friend what happened and she went : “oh but you owe me money”. I’m fine now and recovered well actually very well, I can walk, run, do normal things again. For months I had to re teach myself the simple easy things. I had physio sessions, 4 times a week and water physio. My confidence went down hill and I had gained a lot of weight. My BP went super low and my weight before it happened was 8 stone 6 to 5 stone 3 in 2 days. Dropped massively. I had no friends no boyfriend and all I had was my family. Years later from it happening I was told because of it happening there was a less than 5% of me being able to conceive. I was devastated as I’m such a maternal woman. Now ? I’m working out, I’m engaged and we’re getting married in 1 year and we’ve brought a house together. He’s so supportive and kind and loving. After I listened to this song it gave me hope and determination for me to get my life back together.

Such chills. Much nostalgia.

*Huā Mùlán narrating:* "Sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And this was one of those times."

Depends on what album you listen to. On the original soundtrack (with the horrible alternate version), it's called "Mulan's Decision." In the Mulan Complete Score, it's called "The Transformation/Mulan Leaves." In the FYC Mulan Expanded Score, it's called "Short Hair." :)

YES! This was my favourite part of the sound track when I was a youngin', and it still is!

This theme empowered me so much when I was young. I used to love (and I still love :D) Mulan so much I wanted to be like her. ❤❤

Listening to this i get throwbacks of my childhood, i am 22 years old now i was 5 years old when i firstly watched mulan..

I would love to see a full orchestra perform this song live

my favorite part of the movie. just because of the music.

This music gives me goosebumps

It's the most beautiful melody I've ever heard. And it gets me every time I listen to it right in the feels.

I feel so powerful, like I can do everything whenever I hear this

That album art is pretty awesome.

I can’t imagine this scene in the live action with that soundtrack is just too epic 👏🏼

I'll never get tired of listening to this masterpiece 😍

The vibe it gives is really strong.

hooray, this hasn't been youtube-kids-ified

It's been more than 20 years, and I still have goosebumps every time I listen to this track.

Jerry Goldsmith was the greatest movie composer ever!

That music is playing in my head when I'm prepared to something important

Who else remembers when Disney made *good* female characters. I sure do.

Thank you so much for posting this song in particular! I love it so much; it's just so powerful. It really makes you feel like you can do anything. I really wish they hadn't cut it out... Thanks again!

Beautiful mix of traditional and contemporary instrumentation.

In our reality life, this type of soundtrack can refer to us as a "push your self through all the limits of your life no matter what situation" or when for some case, u must to protect the life of your loveones when the opportunitys are less... And then, there u are.. Walking bravely with that theme on your head 1:06

Listening to this as I study harder for my exams thinking I'm as badass as Mulan.

It fills with determination, courage. Makes you strong and makes you to go forward no matter what happens.

I'm getting goosebumps! This soundtrack is amazing!

The epicness that is 1:07 , this scene never fails to send chills down my spine, they don't make movies like this anymore

I'm crying I've been looking for this instrumental for soo long

I still think it’s cool that Disney created a category in its princess requirements just for her so she could be an official Disney princess

Even though the live action action remake will not be musical, I do hope they add this song for the background for when he prepares to go to the camp

I just donated my hair two months ago and had to cut my hair so short that I kept thinking about this Mulan´s scene... of course nothing ever near to go fighting against the Huns LOL

tears everytime I hear this, is amazing

The best scene in the movie, this music hits you different. Come here when I need to be determined.

Очень душевная песня и очень трогательная

Absolutely amazing. one of the very best songs out of Disney in my opinion

This is much better than the one in the soundtrack.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN ANIMATION HISTORY

1:38 chills man

Mulan is one of my favorite Disney characters!

This is what I want our girls to watch. It always was and will be my favorite song and disney. Inspirational, Courage, Force, Determination, Fighting for what is worth it, this is the essence of a True Soul.

This music is so badass!

This is the most pivotal part of the movie and this score is amazing

Love this I wish this was in the Mulan soundtrack❤️❤️😥😥 Love this sooo much😍😍

If they just played these 3 minutes for 2 hours, it'd be a better movie than the remake we got...

This moment in the movie it makes me think about my past hurts but I know that one day I will get pass through it

Am I the only one for years and years trying to find THIS bad ass soundtrack. And glory be to god you find it one day. this is the most bad ass sound track for a powerful woman such as mulan

I've been trying to find this song for so long omg I love it

Best epic hero moment in the history of Disney.

You know a song is Glorious when the French Horn gets the Melody for the majority of the song.

I have always loved this scene. I wish the soundtrack version was the same as the movie. Without out the added acoustics it just loses that edge we all love about Mulan.
