mulan is by far the best disney movie except for the end when she goes back to being a girl and the beginning when she likes being a girl. still the best disney movie but 101 Dalmatians is a definitely second.

I always loved Mulan not because I thought she wanted to be a man but because when I was little she showed me just how awesome women could be because she went into the army and while she might have worn men's clothing and "pretended" there was no pretending how awesome she was. I don't think she ever identified as being male, at least not in the movie, but that was always ok with me :) Her cross-dressing was a means to an end to protect her family and her country, but she was awesome when she was in girl-mode and also when people thought she was a guy.

But if you didn't like those certain parts I wouldn't recommend watching the sequel to the first Mulan movie.

Some of my favorite disney moves are The Fox and the Hound, Mulan, The Lion King, Oliver and Company, Robin Hood and Lilo & Stitch.

And they never made a faithful film of the sequel to The Wizard of Oz, because that's a transgender story too.

mermaid have been used for symbols of mtf's once in a while and I see the point.
the story of this girl who is born with a"tail" but who wish she just where a normal girl and could be with the girls on the earth, and with her wonderboy, and then transfrom into a human girl..

beside that H.C Andersend also got rumours to either be gay or transgender.

I always loved Mulan and the direct-to-VHS sequel that barely anyone likes. It's a fantastic movie about an awesome girl doing awesome things. She's not a God Sue like in the original lore either.

The Little Mermaid! hands down my favorite. Jodi Benson's voice was so beautiful and the songs, just really spoke to me. I mean 'Part of your World'? It's a good analogy to wanting to be one of the girls. :P

My favourite Disney film is the Nightmare Before Christmas (Touchstone is Disney-owned, so technically a Disney film!). I loved The Iron Giant when I was a kid, and I also liked Pixar's films.

When I was a kid, I really liked the historical figures Joan of Arc and Swedish Queen Christina. Queen Christina might have been FTM or at least transgendered in some way, since she researched alchemy in order to transform herself into a man. She acted like a man, wore men's clothes and was excited when she got a uterine prolapse, as she interpretated the protrusion as her growing penis.

I've always been a Lion King fanboy. I never really cared either way for Mulan. I remember thinking the villain and the final fight scenes were pretty badass though.

I like aladdin, i wanted a magic lamp to take away my troubles. love nightmare before christmas too tho. i  made my brothers watch it through october clear to january as a kid. i only saw mulan a handful of times, when they played it at school.

they made a second film for oz tho, its called return to oz, its pretty creepy. you can get it off of netflix. Dorthy(same one) goes to oz with her pet chicken( no toto) and they have to defeat this rock king and save the ruler of oz. I saw it as a kid and it creeped me out then and I rented it bout a year ago and it was even creapyer. weard how as a kid you miss some of the underlining stuff then when watching it later you cant beleive how you missed it.

I want to see this now, and I totally get what you mean about missing the subtleties in movies when one is young.   :P

The first Disney movie that I saw was Pinocchio, I think. I was around 3 maybe..? But my favorites are The Lion King, Oliver and Company, Pocahontas and Mulan.

For some reason, Disney movies always used to bore me. My cousin had EVERY Disney VHS back in the day, and when I stayed over she would watch the movies I hated the most. xD

The first (book) sequel to The Wizard of Oz is called The Marvellous Land of Oz, and follows the journey of the boy Tip with his magical companions. At the end of the story, it turns out he's really the Princess Ozma, who's been hidden as a baby by turning her into a boy. I was reading this at something like 7, totally fascinated by him asking if he'll be the same person once he's turned back into a girl, and whether his friends will still like him (of course, she turns out badass and rules the empire wisely and is a basically hot princess and her friends still love her :D). read it and weep - in a good way :).
