动画片《花木兰》很好，附插曲《带给我们荣耀》
《花木兰》（《Mulan》）是1998年迪斯尼拍摄的一部取材于中国传统民间故事的动画片。影片上映后，在北美甚至全球掀起了一阵‘木兰热’。胜利的以正面形象传布了中国传统文化。值得一提的是，该片主创人员在动画中，运用了大量中式绘画技巧，吸纳并融汇了许多中国文化元素，却不失美式诙谐诙谐的气概，是少有的将中国元素与美国特色连系得很胜利的影片，是手绘二维动画时代末期一部典范做品。别的，此片中配乐上乘、歌曲旋律漂亮，亦值得不雅寡保藏。
跟着科技的迅猛开展，电脑绘造手艺的不竭进步，跟着迪斯造做三维动画开山之做《玩具总发动》和梦工场的招牌力做《怪物史瑞克》的风行全球，三维电脑动画逐步代替二维手绘动画成为支流。但不能不认可，在过度重视别致特手艺的应用背后，是思惟性的不竭下滑和剧情的老套以至崩塌。比来在中国引发热议的美国三维动画《功夫熊猫》，抛开单纯的电脑手艺不谈，其综合水准远不如昔时的《花木兰》。那恐怕亦是影人们的悲痛。从那一方面说，漠视特效，重视思惟元素的《老无所依》能折桂奥斯卡，亦是影视圈潜意识对当下手艺流的一种还击和控诉。
附《花木兰》影片插曲《Honor to us all》
歌词大意：
honor to us all
this is what you give me to work with?
well, honey, i've seen worse
we're going to turn this sow's ear
into a silk purse
we'll have you washed and dried
primped and polished
till you glow with pride
trust me recipe for instant bride
you'll bring honor to us all
wait and see
when we're through
boys will gladly go to war for you
with good fortune
and a great hairdo
you'll bring honor to us all
a girl can bring her family
great honor in one way
by striking a good match
and this could be the day
men want girls with good taste
calm
obediant
who work fast-paced
with good breeding
and a tiny waist
you'll bring honor to us all
we all must serve our emperor
who guards us from the huns
a man by bearing arms
a girl by bearing sons
when we're through
you can't fail
like a lotus blossom
soft and pale
how could any fellow
say "no sale"
you'll bring honor to us all
there - you're ready
not yet
an apple for serenity
a pendant for balance
beads of jade for beauty
you must proudly show it
now add a cricket just for luck
and even you can't blow it
ancestors
hear my plea
help me not to make a
fool of me
and to not uproot
my family tree
keep my father standing tall
scarier than the undertaker
we are meeting our matchmaker
destiny
guard our girls
and our future
as it fast unfurls
please look kindly on
these cultured pearls
each a perfect porcelain doll
please bring honor to us
please bring honor to us
please bring honor to us
please bring honor to us
please bring honor to us all
