Disney may have lost a lot of faith with critics and some fans earlier this year with Aladdin and The Lion King — both of which were criticized for being too similar to, yet lesser than, their animated counterparts — but Mulan seems to be the perfect antidote to the sameness we’ve been seeing on screen for the past five or so years.
Here, we have a story that actually feels like it was made for live-action, and based on the new trailer, it looks like Disney is actually taking advantage to make a genuine magical epic. Take a look at the new trailer down below!
So, what do you think of the trailer, the removal of Mushu, and the witch character they added to the whole thing? Fans seems to be divided on this, though I personally love the overall approach.
“When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father. “Mulan” features a celebrated international cast that includes: Yifei Liu as Mulan; Donnie Yen as Commander Tung; Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan; Yoson An as Cheng Honghui; with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. The film is directed by Niki Caro from a screenplay by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Elizabeth Martin & Lauren Hynek based on the narrative poem ‘The Ballad of Mulan.’”
