R is for Reign of Fire Next up (and a little late, apologies) in the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, let’s talk about the famous — or some might say, infamous — 2002 blockbuster movie Reign of Fire.

M is for Mulan Halfway done with the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge! Today let’s take a look at another Disney lizard dragon, the very funny Mushu from the 1998 animated movie Mulan.
