To be fair, the Chinese didn't really say anything overtly negative about it once it got released.

Sox:
This is actually the first time I've heard criticism about Mulan in regard to the depiction of ancient China. MrBridge, I hope you wouldn't find it rude if I asked what your cultural background was?
Girls on the other hand, I've seen plenty of girls get angry about Mulan because 'in the end she got soft' and 'she says she should have been a man to accomplish things'.

BOLT!

Agreed. The end was fantastic, I nearly cried.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that. I wouldn't say it was "fucking fantastic" but it was way better than I expected it to be and at least on par with the more middle-of-the-bunch Pixar films which would seem like damning with faint praise if it weren't for (as previously stated) the fact that even the middle-of-the-bunch Pixar films are unbelievably splendiferous.

I thought it was pretty good as well.  But Bolt's essentially half-way a Pixar film.  It was in production during the Disney/Pixar merger when Pixar's John Lasseter became Disney's creative officer.  Lasseter didn't like the direction the movie was going, and so he changed the script and replaced the director. 

I don't know how much of the original Disney production is reflected in the final film, but given the top-level alterations he effected I'd imagine Lasseter's influence was significant.
