Brooklyn, born in 84 - first Bay Ridge then Williamsburg My parents always rented things for us, likely because they were desperately homesick. I remember the Canto dubs of a lot of Disney and anime, HK pop music (and the karaoke videos that went with them), TVB series and plenty of HK movies. We lived hand to mouth but my parents didn’t have any vices, like smoking or gambling, so considering it was before the internet and we didn’t live in NYC Chinatown, my access to Cantonese language popular media was really high. My dad was 💯 a Stephen Chow fan and he will still randomly quote them to me. Growing up the way I did, close to my language and culture because my parents could not bear to watch their children become American, is a unique privilege. As I’ve gotten older, I realise that it’s not something that every family has access to, if you grew up without access to a thriving Chinese diasporic community

childhood friendship is purest of all, especially for us little boys, we probe each other's hobbies, interests and inclinations tantatively, if something click, friendship formed almost in a instant. Such magical connection is almost complete disconnected from adult world and daily mundanes, sort like a little paradise suddenly appears from this unexpected connection, full of possibilities even if you don't know what they might contain, you just want to explore, share and add to it. it gives you courage, confidence and some form of identity, I don't want to romantisize my selective memory, but it feels devine and ritual like when I remember about it.

I'm a Chinese 80s kid (1983). My dad got to go to university in Sweden. So, me and my mother emigrated to Sweden in 1989. I never got to grow up in China in the 90s. Even though every vacation and the savings went to visiting China as often as we could. It was hard enough trying to fit in as the only Asian kid on the block and I didn't really get in touch with my Chinese roots until the late 2000s. It's interesting getting this insight from you. I think I've watched most of the things you showed at a later age. My first Disney movie was Aladdin in 1992 with Swedish dub. I didn't even know Swedish that well at the time and it's still my favourite Disney movie.

Chinese-Indonesian here. I am a fan of the Shaolin Popey series. I remember Jimmy Lin, a Taiwanese actor/singer, sang the ost. I often listened to the songs Xin Yun and Yong Bu Hui Tou, which always brought back my memories of the 90s. Another movie from the same era, played by Shaolin Popey's cast (Jimmy Lin and Boboho), is Grandpa's Love. The film was depressing as f and dealt with topics like dying, suicide, etc. It traumatized me to this day, almost 30 years later. At the time, I assumed it was a sequel to Shaolin Popey, and I thought to myself, what a weird sequel. Shaolin Popey is a non-sensical slapstick influenced by Stephen Chow's humor with a bit of a feel-good romance movie, but Grandpa's Love is about how two orphaned boys deal with grief after their parents die in a plane crash. The elder, despite trying to cope with his depression over the loss and being treated harshly by his absentee grandpa, who constantly blames him for almost everything and provides no emotional support during the period, still tries to look after the younger brother. At the movie's end, the grandpa acknowledges his mistake when he finds the big brother died after accidentally falling to a cliff. Grandpa's Love ruined Shaolin Popey for me because I cannot re-watch the latter without reminding myself about the former.

One of my earliest memories of going to the cinema was for a school trip back in Primary School. Even though I lived somewhere that was only a short drive from an Omniplex, our class was taking a trip to the only IMAX cinema in the country: Cineworld Dublin. We were going to see Fantasia 2000 for our art class, to get a cultural afternoon of classical music and animation. I recall going through a UV hallway, watching the film on a giant screen, and getting a fright during the Firebird Suite segment (When the bird awakens and that sting occurs). The only other noteworthy thing was getting a trailer for CyberWorld; a lost anthology film that was a showcase for CGI. Weird how I can remember this, and yet none of the algebra or long division I had to learn for maths. Goes to show the impact of cinema, how watching something in a theatre with a blaring sound system and gigantic screen can't compare to watching something on your own at home.

Man I’m a part of the early 00后 and Prince Nezha from Shanghai animation studio was my favourite animation as a kid. I even got a hula hoop and those dancing ribbon toy that they sell at the side of the street to imitate his golden hoop and red ribbon! I think Lotus Lantern was some of the last good animation to come out of the studio before the dark ages of Chinese animation in the 2010’s. But now I think Chinese animation is making a comeback with shows like Yao Chinese Folktales, Link Click, Under One Person and movies like the Legend of Hei, Nezha (2020ish) and Chang An. It’d be amazing if this channel could cover the rise and fall and (hopefully) rise again of Chinese animation!!

The movie may have been a bit of a disappointment, but the memories are some of my favorites because of how much we all were looking forward to it, and for all the little moments with the people around us. My friends' little brother shoved a whole pizza box up the front of his hoodie to see if he could get away with sneaking it in (if I remember right, he did). Somebody else snuck in a Death Star beach ball: when we were all seated, the crowd spiked it back and forth all across the room. There was universal "aww" of disappointment as the usher took it away. Then pure excitement as the lights went down. Good time.

I know this might just be me, but the really disappointing part of Mulan was that it was going to be more accurate to China and Chinese history in previous iterations, with legendary comics artist Alex Nino assisting with the concept art, and then just dismissed that out of hand to do Mulan what they did to Aladdin. I'd be marginally less pissed if they didn't dismiss a lot of Alex Nino's best work. It's like getting Mike Mignola in his prime to draw up the concept art for an action-horror title and then dismissing it out of hand in favor of generic slasher movie run-off.

I have vivid memories of my parents recording the Canto dub of various Disney films on VHS like Snow White and Cinderella. Just the whole process of having to write down the times of when the movie would play on the TVB channel, knowing when to press "Record", and then rewinding it later to watch. Now they take on a nostalgic feel because while the English obviously matches well, to me the Canto dub is where my memories are. Also omg I had no idea Coco Lee did the dub for the Taiwanese Mulan. Rest in peace Coco..😞 her death was in the HK newspapers and my parents were talking about her.

For several years of my childhood, I was a white American living in Japan. Also in the 90s. I had the benefit of a much broader range of available movies and stuff than you, but it was still much more limited than any of my peers today, because we were all expats, and by default anything outside of our gated community was in a language I couldn't comprehend. So it was really nice to have something to bridge that gap. My Neighbor Totoro lives in my heart with such fondness, it was a wonderful blend of magic and mundanity, ofba story I could connect with and help connect me to the Japanese culture around me. Fox only dubbed My Neighbor Totoro in English, nothing else of Studio Ghibli. Starting with I want to say Kiki's Delivery Service? English localization was a project taken on by Disney, and eventually they released their own dub of Totoro. I'm sure it's fine, objectively. I take a few issues with the translation choices made, but I know in my heart of hearts that's after the fact rationalization. Mostly I prefer the Fox dub because it's what I grew up with. That one will always be the one true English dub for me. Tldr I think I understand your feeling on the Cantonese dub of Mulan.

My dad has always been a movie fan, and probably the earliest movie I can recall going to the cinema for was Jurassic Park. However, it was Independence Day that blew my mind as a 12-year old. I think I saw that one 5 times in the cinema, because it was like it was made for me at that age. It's also quite a 90s movie, in the sense that it made you want to root for the Americans to save the world. That 90s optimism, plus being a child at that particular age, is quite a time.

it is sweet. but now I prefer watching movies alone in my computer screen. Audience nowadays is so annoying and distracting.

Is this the video essay version of the Nicole Kidman AMC commercial?

I'm from Malaysia and I recognize most of the movies featured in this video. TV stations back then can't stop showing those movies in the 90s and early 2000s.

As an oversea Chiense with origin from Hong Kong, growing up here in Northern Europe thru 1980. My old man used to rent pirate badly copy VHS of TVB TV serial or TV shows, with occasional movies. I remember in the 80's most of the movies was horror or action that my dad rented. But then he stopped watching movies and only watch TV drama in 90's. But in the 90's we bought movies thru cheap VCD with alot of Stephen Chow, so basically I am a lexicon of Stephen Chow movies as I watched every single one of his. My old man also like watching his stuff since Chow movies are "brainless entertainment"

I had the first two Shaolin Popeye movies, English dubbed, on bootleg VHS when I was a teenager. They’re both probably buried somewhere in my basement

Holy crap Shaolin Popey!!! I only ever had access to the one with the fake Forrest Gump about 20 years ago. and I put a LOT of energy into trying to search it online a few years ago with zero title information. Okay, I have some catching up to do...
