I first used "Mulan" as a time filler/killer in my 7th grade World history class. My students are ESL 1-4s and most are "below basic" readers. While they consider themselves to be a very sophisticated movie audience, they thoroughly enjoyed "Mulan" and I extended the showing to finish the video due to the excellent discussions we had of the movie and the facets of Chinese culture shown (ancestor worship, status of women,etc). It worked so well, I've extended the video and associated work to 3-4 days of class time.
