She was willing to risk her life for being discovered as a woman in order to save her father. In the original 1989 version, Mulan’s main motivation to join the army was merely because of her intense love and gratitude for her father who was crippled after years of service. Mulan 2020 was emotionally empty and anti-climatic in all aspects of the film. Forget the creepily realistic and expressionless safari animals in Lion King, Emma Watson’s over-auto-tuned singing in Beauty and the Beast, the two unbearably long hours of Dumbo, or Will Smith’s sour attempt of emulating Robin Williams’ iconic role of the Genie.ĭisney’s newest live-action film strips everything we know and love of Mulan, disappointing Asian Americans who’d waited to see representation on the silver screen for so long, bringing complete disgrace to Chinese culture, and left our beloved, fierce Chinese warrior being the epitome of complete and absolute utter boredom.

However, what we received was Disney’s absolute worst live-action remake yet. Perhaps taking this original classic filled with the white perspective of Asian culture and crafting it into a new film would better represent the ancient legend of Fa Mulan.

After all, the original animation was nowhere near a perfect representation of Chinese culture, as it was a movie tailored for white audiences completely unaware of Chinese culture. These changes deeply disappointed my friends and me, but if taking away these original characters and songs would contribute to telling a more compelling, mature story, then we’d be willing to watch the new Mulan. Our favorite comedic side characters like the renowned ancestral dragon spirit, Mushu, and his lucky sidekick Cricket would be missing entirely from the movie. There would be no iconic songs from the original animated version we all know and love.

It was only a few months ago when my friends and I had first discussed our opinions on the rumored changes to the live-action version of Mulan.
