I don't think the absence of the classic songs will play well with audiences.

I'm personally down for a different take on the Mulan story but TLK and Aladdin made bank because of the nostalgia and being almost 1:1 to the originals. Seems like something I'd enjoy streaming at home. I'm always down for large-scale fantasy action.

Honestly, it looks pretty damn solid. Seems like the first of these live action remakes that has solid production values. It doesn't look like it was all shot on a set. I'm sold on the direction they are taking with the movie and how they are doing another version of the story. I've made peace with the fact that the songs aren'tgoing to be in the film besides instrumental versions.

Only iffy part is the girl playing Mulan. Everyone else seems to be reacting expressively while in a lot of scenes she's just stone cold.

If you've watched lots of Wuxia films this looks like your average one.

I would love to be wrong but it doesn't seem to have the same magic as the animated film.

Yeah, it does seem a bit average. I like that kind of movie usually so I think it'll be worth my time, just not "$12 and a trip to the movie theater" worth it.

The report by DisInsider also shared that the source who saw the early screening of the film stated that classic songs from the animated musical are included in this live-action remake. Although, the cast do not perform the songs. The report states that the songs are purely instrumental versions.
They got NO ONE to sing Reflection over the end credits? They can't be that crazy, can they?

This will also make 1 billion, just like all the other live action flops of disney of last year.

Looks decent i like that is atleast trying something different rather than just remaking the animated movie. No clue how well itll do though

Imagine if they actually made a badass wuxia movie and people cried about it because there weren't any song and dance numbers

My gf is Chinese and is disappointed now with the trailer. Gave her less excitement for the movie and just something that is made in China with zero Disney Magic.

I didn't know there was that much adoration for Mushu until news came out that he wasn't going to be in the live action film. He only ranks slightly higher than the gargoyles for me because it's Eddie Murphy.

Honestly I think it looks really good. I'm down with a drastically new take on the story.

It looks entertaining enough. I'm not mad at it.

Damn these live action Disney movies continue to look so bland.

All the changes really killed my hype for this.

;_;

What was changed? You mean the plot?

I watched Lion King last night and was surprised at some of the changes though I liked it alongside my family.

Alice in Wonderland (2010) blew me away due to the changes in the story - the sequel pretty much was a wtf is going on in almost every scene though lol.


Same with Dumbo (2019) which I watched last week though I liked Dumbo's additions to the plot.

Alice was pretty much a sequel to the original animated film. It works off the fact that Alice is returning as a young adult. Have no idea why some group it into the remake category. Same with Maleficent.

Ooooh......that makes more of a sense.


That is pretty cool though.


Either ways I still liked it lol.

Well all the other Disney live action remakes have still been very steeped in the fantastical. Mulan seems to be completely eliminating all of those elements so it just seems a bit more underwhelming IMO

So far doesn't seem to capture the same magic as the original. Wonder if it'll be able to stand apart on its own?

I am so hyped for this movie. When the witch lady corrects the big bad and says it's a warrior that threatens his plans, not a little girl, you know the movie has its heart in the right place.

It's gonna be so awesome. šŸ˜Ž
