Talk:Mulan (2020 film)/@comment-27373870-20180728212006/@comment-4889892-20181022020828

Mulan can be one of them because it's a legend. WW2 is historical, so adding fantasy elements would be weird. Now, if there was a movie about Princess Pingyang and a dragon that would also be weird because her story is known history. If there's a historical account of Mulan's life, then a movie can be made based off that, but for now we don't have such a thing.

I know Zendaya has finally acknowledged her rumored casting as Ariel is nothing more than a rumor, so maybe you're right about that one, but even this rumor had a lot of people fooled. In this society, it wouldn't be as surprising as it was weird. I mean, in Big Hero 6, they changed the race of half of the characters. Still, there are people saying that Disney might actually be testing people's reaction to seeing a black cast in The Little Mermaid and possibly to adding Mushu.
