Both girls are often seen serious and quiet, but I think Elsa is a bit more, as she sometimes seen enjoyed to laughed and have fun with her sister. I never saw Mulan having fun anyway.

I agree with Sparklefairy375. Elsa pulls the little prank on Anna where she makes him dance with the Duke and seems to laugh at Anna's being uncomfortable. I don't remember Mulan ever really laughing at all or having any obvious sense of humor.

agree, though Mulan's sense of humor is more subdued. Elsa, if given a chance, can play pranks and has more outward sense of humor.

I didn't really laugh at what Elsa said at all (nor did I laugh when she shoved her sister at the duke, which I thought was incredibly tasteless and rude for a monarch to do). I laughed at what Mulan said, and at some of the suggestions and arguments she had with Mushu.

^I didn't mean to be rude, but it seems you are kinda biased around here.

^I'm sorry. But I don't find Elsa to be very funny. I find her to be "stiff and formal" and to be "scared" because the movie presents her that way for most of the film. The movie does not present Elsa as a funny character. It presents her as a tragic character.

I was sticking to the regular movies here.

And besides, Elsa is your favorite...so why are you calling me biased? You picked your favorite out of the two. (You're just as biased as I am, so what is the big deal?) I'm allowed to pick the one I consider funnier, too.

^I know that Elsa is more like tragic character. But if compared with Mulan, I guess she has more sense of humor than her. At least she can laughed with her sister in coronation party although she still worried with her powers. I just never saw Mulan felt so happy and she never expressed happiness, like laughed, etc.

I don't know but it seems just my feelings only. Because in many times you always gave criticism with all things related to Frozen and Elsa, as seen in your comments/opinions. You seems to be thinking that Elsa is bad at all and nothing goods with her. But it's vice versa with Mulan. You always gave positive review towards her and never said any bad things that she may have.

^Elsa has poise and she is not as "impulsive," which is something that Anna embodies. But I don't feel that Jennifer Lee ( who wrote the screenplay for Frozen) gave Elsa enough development--- she simply did not give me enough "knowledge" about Elsa to have me formulate a "great" opinion of her. And this says more about Jennifer Lee's screenwriting skills than it says about my analytical capacity to pull "stuff" from the movie to back up my reasoning.

Also, I simply did not enjoy Frozen as much as I did lots and lots of other movies ( not just Disney ones). But there are plenty of people ( not just me) across the world who found Frozen inaccessible to them, and the characters not very relateable to their lives.

I was actually going to pick Mulan, but I totally forgot about that little prank Elsa pulls on Anna with the duke! Elsa has a pretty good sense of humor imo, her circumstances just don't allow her to show it often.

Mulan has her moments too.

Btw I don't see how Elsa tricking her sister into waltzing the with duke is any more offensive than Mulan cracking jokes that are rooted in sexist stereotypes.

I would personally appreciate it if anyone picking Mulan would give some specific examples of her sense of humor, since I don't remember any?
I do remember Elsa pranking Anna with the duke as well as laughing at herself and her sister about how much they loved chocolate. I remember the film Mulan being very funny but I thought that most of the laughs came from other characters or Mulan's impersonations of a man, which weren't really made in her sense of humor but rather her actual impersonation to not be caught?

^ Mulan basically has a sardonic mouth twist, and she laughs inwardly at Shan-Yu. Right after her cannon hits the mountainside, and the avalanche begins, you glimpse Mulan's quirky mouth twist as Shan-Yu's horse rears. Definitely, the punch line of her joke is on him. Once Shan-Yu finds out that she is laughing at him, and why she is so amused, he raises his sword and slashes her.

When Shang says that he came to return her helmet, and then amends that it is her father's helmet, Mulan takes it and clearly smiles at his flustered behavior. Mulan then asks Shang if he would like to stay for dinner. This is overheard by Grandma Fa. Mulan really laughs at her grandmother's quip "would you like to stay forever?" Her eyes close, and she laughs, before turning really red and shaking her head.

Mulan has both her own sense of humor, and enjoys the humor of her family members.

^Mulan might be has sense of humor but it seems she doesn't really showed it, I guess.

wavesurf, thank you for providing your examples. I appreciate it.

@Sparklefairy: Mulan does display her sense of humor, but it is not the "in-your-face-variety" I feel Elsa's humor is. (In my opinion, Frozen's humor tries too hard and it feels "forced" to me. I like the kind of natural humor I see in a lot of people. Frozen relies on gag humor, and that's a hit-or-a-miss option. In my case, it was a definite miss, because I didn't start laughing. I cringed, instead. Most of Frozen's humor just wasn't funny at all to me).


@Audreygrace: No problem. ;)

Elsa's just more quirky imo, I thought that one thing with the duke was pretty cute. And also at the end where she was all "c'me on you can ice skate!" with Anna.
