you raise great points. i'll try to address them...
>One, because I *didn't* know how long she was on that wagon. That did seem sort of relevant to me *nods* same here. (then again, the same they-never-mentioned-it bugs me about how far from Belle's duchy to Rumplestiltskin's castle)
>And I didn't understand why Mulan didn't read/have the same sort of knowledge Belle did. scriptwriters fiat - so there was something for Belle to do.
but lets assume Mulan had the same knowledge as Belle -- would she go to an exact copy of the habitat in her book? (why assume there's still a Yaoguai in that one?), or would she go to mountainous cave habitats which are highly similar? (and probably abundant)
>If the Yaoguai had been terrorizing her village for so long, again, the absence of any spoken span of time, bugs me. was Phillip running through the fields and towns for a month or two? a year? a century? (most of the versions of Sleeping Beauty I've come across, agree that the plants took over the place - and plants can't grow when time stops, so the 28 years is a nonissue here)
> I'd imagine that they would have some more information about it. beyond "don't let it burn you or step on you." I agree. but, in the end, regardless of what information Mulan was able to get from any sources, Belle was the key to ending the Yaoguai's running around.
...or Phillip would've ended up in a trophy room somewhere.
