MULAN Becomes The First Of Disney's Live-Action Remakes To Receive A PG-13 Rating

The trailers for Mulan definitely suggested that it was going to be a far more intense experience than Disney's previous live-action offerings, and that's now been reflected in the movie's PG-13 rating...

Mulan has now become the first of Disney's recent crop of live-action remakes to receive a PG-13 from the Motion Picture Association of America.

It was clear from the trailers that Niki Caro's adaptation was going to be very different from the animated film that inspired it. With no songs, no dragon sidekick and a far more serious tone, the movie seemed closer to a David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia) or Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai) historical epic than the usual Disney fare.

While we probably shouldn't expect the battle scenes to be too intense for younger viewers, The MPAA clearly believed the "sequences of violence" were enough to warrant the stronger rating.

Mulan is set to hit theaters on March 27. You can check out the most recent trailer below.



Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known.

Mulan stars Liu Yifei as the titular warrior, Donnie Yen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) as Böri Khan, Yoson An (Ghost Bride) as Cheng Honghui, Gong Li (Curse of the Golden Flower) as Xianniang and Jet Li (Hero) as The Emperor.

Not interested. Aladdin was the last for me.

@regularmovieguy - Did you enjoy it? I did. What disappointed me was the Lion King. It was my favorite growing up and I knew almost all the scenes, dialogue, and music by heart. But it being 90% shot for shot from the animated film didn't sit well with me.

I enjoyed Will Smith as the Genie. He actually did a great job.

I just don’t see the point in these movies when I’ve yet to be really impressed by one.

They’re cynical cash grabs. And yeah, tried watching The Lion King on Disney+ and it was terrible. Didn’t make it past Mufasa’s death.

We do know it's not an overlong, inferior update of the original and it looks much more beautifully shot than other Disney remakes. I'm giving it a chance.

@WakandanQueen - Beauty and the Beast looked better tbh.

I will watch this for the cinematography. I bet the performances will be awesome too.

@geekarchitect - Thats a boring reason to watch a movie.

@JustALurker - Well, for a person who does videography for a living, it is.

They really need to remake Treasure Planet

@Toonstrack - I heard Repunzel will be next. I think Treasure Planet will be the last on the list. Disney Princesses are the priority atm.

@Toonstrack - Ikr, I wouldn’t mind seeing that. But Disney is convinced on remaking the movies that DON’T need remakes.

@Toonstrack - Movie is underrated. Despite not liking remakes, I would be down for one of TP though.

@Toonstrack - I believe that movies like Treasure Planet and Atlantis have more of a reason to be remade than other Disney classics. They weren't big hits when they came out but they had a fanbase grow overtime. Remakes of these films will allow directors to have more freedom to change it and create something with a bit of originality.

Wonder if this will bomb now that it won’t open in China. Tracking’s pretty soft right now

@tmp3 - Disney would be insane not to push it back to the later half of the year. This movie was pretty much made the way it is to make tons of those sweet yuan.

@8thDoctor - Issue is it'll be on digital HD by then... and piracy is huge in China.

@tmp3 - I mean, push it back globally. Having high quality online release would kill it in most markets.

@TheJustinHammer - You’re gonna get blacklisted from China for that Winnie joke now, I hope you realize that

Omg, just remake Atlantis or Treasure Planet. No one cares about these movies. I really don’t see it that easy, but without an amazing marketing campaign, this might flop (like Dumbo did). The general audience, and specially the target audience (nostalgia driven millennials and kids) would be more interested in the musical numbers, colorful tone, and mushu in the movie. It’s a hard sell.
