Rumor: Live-Action Mulan Will Have A Phoenix Instead Of A Dragon And No Classic Songs

Disney has been hard at work remaking every cartoon in its vault into a live action film. They actually made a few live-action adaptations, including a live-action Jungle Book and  101 Dalmations, in the 90s. This year saw DumboAladdin, and soon The Lion King hit theaters and next March we will see Mulan be adapted in the live-action format.

Mulan is one of my generation’s Disney films, having hit the big screen in 1998. While I am not a big Disney Princess film fan myself, this movie is incredibly popular with people in their 30s as well as younger fans. The film featured the voice talent of Eddie Murphy as Mushu the dragon and Ming Na-Wen as the title character. It also featured several incredibly popular songs including “I’ll Make A Man Out of You”.

If you liked Mushu the dragon and the songs from the film you’ll be disappointed in the rumor from DisInsider. They claim to have a source that has seen a cut of the film and this source states that the dragon has been replaced with a phoenix and that none of the classic songs are sung in the film, but the music from them is played. This sounds weird as the other live-action remakes have all featured classic songs from the animated films and at least one new song. I also do not understand the desire to change mythical creatures. This is just a rumor though and the outlet does admit Disney could change things if the film doesn’t test well.

Does this rumor upset you? Would you be okay with these changes? Let us know in the comments below!
