Directed by Niki Caro, Mulan is the live-action feature film of the animated feature film the Disney Studios produced in 1998.
A young Chinese maiden, played by Yifei Liu, disguises herself as a male warrior so she can save her father.
Caro’s directing credits include The Zookeeper’s Wife, North Country, and Whale Rider. The screenplay has several co-writers, including Lauren Hynek, Rick Jaffa, Elizabeth Martin, and Amanda Silver.
Disney Studios is quiet about the storyline, but rumors are the dragon Mushu, voiced by Eddie Murphy in the original animated movie, will not be in this movie.
I was skeptical about the film, but after seeing the second trailer, I am utterly interested. I hope the story holds throughout and is not too slow.
The third trailer shows us more of the action and the story. It introduces the fact that the enemy has a witch fighting with him. I don’t think that was in the original animated version. So, there are some changes, which make this more unique and promising.
It is all about stunts, and Mulan has plenty of action sequences.
