Mulan is considered a classic by the majority of Disney fans, but the live-action adaptation is taking the story down a far more realistic route, hence why many beloved characters and elements look set to fall by the wayside (talkative dragon Mushu sadly appears to be among the casualties).
There is, however, a nod to the original movie with the score that's used in this latest sneak peek - although it has already been confirmed that those classic songs will just be instrumental here, as opposed to full-blown musical numbers. That's a shame, but easy to understand, especially as Disney wants to deliver something realistic...that appeals to the lucrative Chinese market!
Regardless, this trailer is pretty awesome and the action looks like it should be a definite highlight.
This new adaptation of
Mulan is directed by Niki Caro and stars Liu Yifei as the titular warrior alongside Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Jason Scott Lee, Gong Li, Yoson An, Tzi Ma, and Rosalind Chao.
