The thing about Mulan is that outside of Mushu, there was very little in it that *required* the medium of animation, unlike Aladdin for example. It could always have been live action.

This looks decent.

Falconwoman is a fair trade for mushu, arguably the worse of Disney sidekicks

I wasn't following this - but where is Mushu?!

I don't know, this looks like a movie made by the CCP for some reason.

Looks pretty good. I've never seen the original since I was pretty much over the "whacky celebrity-voiced sidekick" Disney trope when it came out.

I am a little skeptical that they gave this to a director without much experience in action films.

Weirdly sad that the market is...very Chinese and we won't get Li Shang struggling with his sexuality

Anyways, I thought it was quite a lovely trailer

It's pretty good. I guess the fact that it was a animated movie without a lot of "animated shenanigans" (except Mushu) makes it easier to switch to live action.

Without the music, my wife and children really won't care about this live action remake.

It looks like every other ancient Chinese drama.. but with less charm somehow.

That's because it is. The main star openly tweeted support to HK police too.

I mean, did she openly support it, or did she "support it ---- or else"?

And forreal. Im on the side of folks not missing Mushu in this. That stuff works in a cartoon; but I'm not sure how much a wisecracking dragon fits into all this (he barely fit in the original Disney picture).

That looks pretty rad.

Also YouTube's auto closed captioning is hilarious. Instead of "close the gates" it says "loser guy" lmao

Pretty sure that each the commander and the emperor could take out the northern invaders solo, but I guess that's a different movie.

Looks a great deal more suited to live action than most of the remakes.

I just realized Jet Li is the emperor lol.

I see they changed the commander so their is no love relationship. Probably best since Donnie yen is wwaaaayyyyy older than Yifei

It was a pretty boring movie before, but it's utterly worthless without the songs now.

This looks way more interesting than other Disney remakes.

I hope they let Mulan kill some people. Pirates lets its heroes kill people, so DIsney should be alright with it, but I dunno if they'll want to do it for one of their animated classic remakes.

Is it bad that i am glad they are not doing Mushu in this one, i just think it wouldn't work like Will Smith Genie

Guys, please don't forget that the actress for Mulan supports police brutality in Hong Kong. She is trash and the movie along with it.

I was disappointed about this not being a musical.. but that orchestral version of Reflection is so good. Glad they kept that. I wonder if the other songs will be redone

We have three big budget movies made by Disney that are going to appeal to the Chinease Audience heavily (Shang-Chi, Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon). If Shang-Chi came out in 2020 it would be a trifecta

I do admit that this movie as a stellar cast:
Jason Scott Lee, Jet-Li, Donnie Yen, Tzi Ma, Rosalind Chao,Pei-pei Cheng

Looks like a pretty standard Wuxia movie.....?

Without the music and comedy it is hard to see why specifically Disney needs to make this movie.

I read all of it, lol. It's hilarious.
This was hilariously amazing.

My bad, I added the final few panels if you were totally invested in the new (better) narrative.

Jason Scott Lee, Jet-Li, Donnie Yen, Tzi Ma, Rosalind Chao,Pei-pei Cheng

Holy smokes! I didnt even recognize Jason Scott Lee but that's awesome

Unless this was an arrangement created specifically for the trailer, and won't be included in the movie itself.

But in the absence of the songs, they'd be crazy not to go the orchestral/instrumental arranged route.

My wife loves Disney and as soon as we met she forced me... I mean, she invited me to watch all of the big animations from the Disney Renaissance. I know I'm in the minority here, but I found all of them very boring... except for Mulan. I thought it would suck, but in the end, I found it super fun and exciting. I'm looking forward to watch the movie. In fact, I think this might end up even better than the animation, since the animation already had this live-action movie vibe.

It looks pretty drab to me. I get it, this probably isn't for me but Mulan is my favorite Disney movie so kind of disappointing I'm not at all excited.
