Disney has produced many action kick movies in the past years, such as Beauty and the Beast in 2017 and Aladdin and The Lion King in 2019.
Next on the list is the famous story of Mulan, transforming from a beloved animated character into a live-action warrior ready to prove a woman can fight just as well as a man.
The original Mulan released in 1998 and audiences with its tale of a young Chinese woman who takes her father’s place in the army. To fight off a horde of intruders, the crown prince decrees that one man per family must join the military. To protect her father from conscription, Mulan disguises herself as a man. She learns to fight and ends up helping to save the entire country with her skills.
The live-action Mulan movie follows that same story, with a few tweaks to the characters. For one, there’s no equivalent to the dragon Mushu. For another, the new Mulan is not a musical, so characters don’t burst into song.
