Mulan storyboard art by Dean Deblois

“This scene was handed to Dean as a single sentence. In his hands it turned into just over two minutes of screen time without a single word of dialogue, driven by a compelling visual thrust that shows Mulan fully unleashed.”

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1996)

[open-up-the-gates]

I trained all those would-be heroes. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. Alotayusses! And every one of those bums let me down flatter than a discus. None of them could go the distance. And then, there was Achilles. Now there was a guy who had it all: the build, the foot-speed. He could jab! He could take a hit! He could keep on comin’! BUT THAT FORSLUGGINER HEEL OF HIS! He barely gets nicked there once, and kaboom! He’s history.
