Movies that feel likeMulan II (2004)

Fa Mulan gets the surprise of her young life when her love, Captain Li Shang asks for her hand in marriage. Before the two can have their happily ever after, the Emperor assigns them a secret mission, to escort three princesses to Chang'an, China. Mushu is determined to drive a wedge between the couple after he learns that he will lose his guardian job if Mulan marries into the Li family.

If you loved Mulan II, the closest films we have are The Lion King 1½ (2004), The Road to El Dorado (2000) and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015). All three share Mulan II's whimsical and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

One thread runs through both: musical

The same mix in both: whimsy, then wit

When Burger Beard endangers Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, Sandy, and Plankton must embark on a quest to retrieve the recipe and save their city...a quest that takes them to the surface world and transforms them into superheroes.
