box office

[edit]

Mulan made 21.3 million less than The Hunchback Of Notre Dame so it needs to be changed. --97.113.117.25 (talk) 23:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The box office numbers in the infobox are worldwide numbers. I've added "domestically" in the Box office section to make that clear. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:06, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pence review

[edit]

Mike Pence (then a conservative talk show host, now Vice President) wrote a review of the movie in which he accused it of promoting a liberal agenda, specifically that of allowing women in the military. While Pence was hardly the only conservative pundit at the time objecting to this aspect of the film, his review is most notable today due to his current political prominence. This should definitely go in the “Reception” section of this article, as well as in at least one of the Pence-related articles. 2600:1014:B045:E1B8:1C1E:85A5:EF6A:676E (talk) 03:27, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want the Live-action adaptation section updated. It needs the citations about the other delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 45.72.254.130 (talk) 12:45, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Reception

[edit]

I’m going to add information about Janet Maslin’s review of the film in The New York Times to the end of the third paragraph under Critical Reception, citing this article: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/19/movies/film-review-a-warrior-she-takes-on-huns-and-stereotypes.html Kbrad41 (talk) 14:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cast formatting

[edit]

Given the posters don't have a billing block for the actors (which are listed in the ending credits), I wonder how should we go about listing them in the infobox. Any ideas? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without a billing block or one sheet per template:Infobox film use the top-billed actors from the screen credits. An alternative approach may be determined by local consensus. Looking at the film listing on Disney+ they list:
as starring which may give an idea of who Disney thinks is starring in the film. It is the first 6 names from the end credits so would be considered the "top billed" actors. Note that it doesn't match the current list which I do not know where it came from. I think the full cast in the infobox is not appropriate so it would be good to get a shorter list that matches what sources consider starring in the film. Maybe some other Disney source more contemporaneous with the initial release. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To add - the film credits list the characters first and credit all the cast and crew involved in creating each individual character and that includes voice and singing. There is another list of just the cast itself in alphabetical order. The character list is who Disney considers the main characters. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
