''What wouldst thou know, my Queen?''
|
This article is about the 2020 live-action film. For the character, see Fa Mulan. For the 1998 film of the same name, see Mulan.
Mulan is a 2020 American action drama film directed by Niki Caro, with the screenplay by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek, and Elizabeth Martin, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is based on the Chinese folklore "The Ballad of Mulan" and is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1998 animated film of the same name. The film stars Liu Yifei in the title role, alongside Donnie Yen, Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, Gong Li, and Jet Li in supporting roles.
Plans for a live-action Mulan remake began in 2010, but the project never came to fruition. In March 2015, a new attempt was announced and Caro was hired to direct in February 2017. Liu was cast in the title role in November 2017, following a casting call of 1,000 actresses, and the rest of the cast joined over the following year. Filming began in August 2018 and lasted through November, taking place in New Zealand and China.
Mulan is the first live-action remake from Disney to be given a PG-13 rating by the MPAA.[4] Originally scheduled to be released in the United States on March 27, 2020, the film's release has been delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] It was instead released on September 4, 2020 on Disney+ for a premium fee in countries where the service had launched. It received a traditional theatrical release in foreign countries without Disney+ and where theaters have re-opened.[3] The title will be unlocked to all Disney+ subscribers on December 4, 2020, three months after the premier access, regardless of an independent purchase.[6]
Plot
Many years ago in the Chinese Village of Tulou Hua Mulan helps her father, Hua Zhou guide chickens into a pin. However, one of them escapes into the crowded courtyard. Mulan engages in a chase to retrieve the chicken which causes much distress among the townsfolk and dishonor to Hua Zhou. A statue of a phoenix, the symbol of Mulan's ancestors, is damaged in the chaos. Zhou uses this moment to talk to Mulan about how she has a very strong ch'i and that she must find balance.
Years later, Bori Khan and his barbarian forces ride on horseback towards the Great Wall. The Rouran's are able to capture a Northern outpost by launching a surprise attack, dealing a drastic blow to the Chinese forces. Hearing of this attack and similar ones in five other northern cities from his Chancellor, the Emperor of China demands additional forces to protect China. However, unbeknownst to him, his Chancellor was impersonated by a witch in an attempt to trick the leadership of China.
At his camp, Bori Khan discusses his motives for taking over China. His father was slain by the Emperor of China when he was younger, causing him to vow revenge. He gained much support, including Xian Lang, a powerful witch with strong, unbalanced ch'i.
Mulan, now a teenager, is preparing to find a groom. Despite her objections to the process, Mulan goes along with it. Joined by her mother and her sister they meet with the town matchmaker. The meeting starts off according to plan, but disaster strikes when a spider crawls down from the ceiling. Standing up for her sister who is horrified by spiders, Mulan interrupts the matchmaker and ruins the meeting. Once they get outside they hear an important announcement that the emperor of China is requesting more men to defeat the Rourans. The messenger gives conscription notices to each man who is eligible to fight. Despite not being required to fight as he is a veteran, Hua Zhou is the first to step forward in order to bring honor to his ancestors.
Later that night, Mulan talks to her father as he prepares to head off to the war. He discusses his previous conflicts and his sword which has "Loyal", "Brave", and "True" engraved into it. He again reminds Mulan of the Phoenix and how his ancestors will watch over him. Once her father goes to bed, Mulan steals his armor, sword, and horse, and rides off towards the camp. The next morning, he sees his conscription notice is gone and replaced by Mulan's decorative comb. Hua Zhou and Hua Li pray their ancestors will protect her.
As Mulan rides, a Phoenix flies above, reminding her of what her father said. Mulan arrives at the camp and realizes she must be more aggressive in order to fit in, and changes her name to Hua Jun. Later that night, Mulan volunteers to keep watch over the camp rather than bathe with the other soldiers. She uses this time to train and better herself. Despite not fully understanding what it is like to be a man and making some remarks considered to be suspicious, none of the soldiers suspect she isn't truly Hua Jun.
She grows close with Chen Honghui, despite their drawing her sword on him upon arriving at camp. They are partnered up for training and engage in a heated practice duel. Every day during training, Mulan improves and eventually surpasses her fellow soldiers. This catches the attention of Commander Tung. Later, following a long day of practice, Hongui tells Mulan that she smells and needs to take a bath. She heads to the lake to do so. Not aware of Mulan's secret, Hongui arrives at the lake to talk with her. Despite not understanding Mulan's standoffish behavior, Hongui quickly departs.
The next day, Mulan is told to meet with Commander Tung. The Commander is quite impressed with her skill in training and offers her a higher position. Before the conversation can continue, they receive word that they are needed as back up for forces under attack from Bori Khan. With this, the army departs camp and heads off.
They arrive to the valley where Khan's troops are located. While the others fight the Rouran army, Mulan and Hongui chase after Bori Khan. During the chase, Mulan becomes separated and comes face to face with Xian Lang. The witch tells Mulan how they are similar and both have very strong Chi. During the ensuing conflict, Mulan's armor is damaged, revealing her traditional clothing. Mulan uses this opportunity to embrace the third virtue taught to her by her father, "True". Taking off her helmet and letting down her hair, she goes back to save the others. Noticing that they are being bombarded by a trebuchet, she places helmets on rocks in order to trick to Rourans into firing into a mountain, causing an avalanche. This devastates the Rouran army and saves the Chinese troops. Mulan admits the truth of her identity to her peers and she is told to leave the army or be killed.
As Mulan begins to head home, Xian Lang flies to Mulan and tells her that Bori Khan and the Rourans plan to capture the Emperor and the palace. Mulan races off to save the others, despite being told she would be killed if she returned. Initially, Commander Tung does not trust Mulan's warning of the attack, however many of the troops speak up saying "I Believe Hua Mulan". With this, they head off to the capital.
When they arrive the city is already deserted, so they search for the emperor. They find an area in which they believe the emperor to be, however they are trapped by enemy forces and must fight to escape. Xian Lang tells Mulan that the Emperor is held captive by Bori Khan. She heads off alone, leaving the others to defend themselves. She follows Xian Lang's flight path as the witch leads her to a building under construction. As she runs towards the building, Bori Khan fires an arrow directly towards Mulan. Xian Lang swiftly flies directly into the line of fire, taking the arrow and saving Mulan's life. Bori and Mulan engage in front of the Emperor. Bori Khan insults Mulan, however, the Emperor commends her. In the conflict, Mulan knocks Khan down the unfinished center of the building. Still living, he fires an arrow at Mulan who redirects it back at him, killing him instantly. After the Emperor returns to the palace, he holds a ceremony honoring Mulan and those who fought alongside her. He offers to make her an officer in the Chinese army, but she refuses, citing her duty to her family.
Mulan returns to her village and is greeted by her family and neighbors with open arms, despite the Matchmaker's disapproval. Shortly after her arrival, Commander Tung arrives on horseback and reiterates the Emperor's offer to appoint her an officer in the army. Additionally, he presents her a gift from the Emperor: a new sword that reads "Loyal", "Brave", "True", and a fourth virtue, "Family".

Development
The film was announced to be in development on March 30, 2015, to be produced by Chris Bender and J.C. Spike, with a script bought from the writing team Elizabeth Martin and Lauren Hayneck.[17] On October 4, 2016, the film was confirmed by Disney with a release date set for November 2, 2018. On February 14, 2017, Disney chose Niki Caro to direct the film and Bill Kong as executive producer, due to familiarity with Chinese culture.
On April 19, 2017, it was reported that Ming-Na Wen, the voice of Mulan in the original film, was in talks to possibly have a cameo in the film.[18] In July 2017, the film's release date was taken off the 2018 calendar with The Nutcracker and the Four Realms taking its place. On November 29, 2017, Liu Yifei was cast as Mulan.[19]
On March 1, 2018, the film was pushed back to March 27, 2020.[20] Production on the film began on August 13 and the first image of Liu Yifei as Mulan was released. Filming begain in New Zealand and China.[11] On May 30, it was reported that Mushu will appear.[21] It was, however, later stated by the film's director that while the film will have a spiritual representation of Mulan's ancestors, Mushu will not be present.[22] Regarding the decision, director Niki Caro stated that the character of Mushu was irreplaceable and that the original film stands on its own in that regard.[23] Producer Jason Reed further stated that while the filmmakers loved Mushu, he was "not probably the most culturally acceptable solution to symbolize a dragon in Chinese language tradition." As such, Mulan receives a legendary guardian in the form of a phoenix within the film.[24]
The film's budget, over $200 million, is the priciest of any Disney's live-action remakes to date. This placed added pressure on the film to perform especially well, even before the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Controversy has also been stirred by star Liu Yifei in regard to her comments in favor of police in regard to the protests in Hong Kong.[25] Following the film's release, it faced new controversy in the form of protesters not only from Hong Kong, but additionally from activists joining them in the countries of Thailand and Taiwan.[26]
Release
Yifei Liu on the red carpet.
The film's red-carpet premiere was at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 9, 2020. Mulan actress Yifei Liu appeared wearing an Elie Saab gown sporting small phoenix symbols and a long train. Christina Aguilera, known for her end-credits performance of "Reflection" in the original film and "Loyal Brave True" for the new film was also in attendance, along with Ming-Na Wen, the voice of Fa Mulan in the original animated classic.[27]
Following the Disney Shareholders meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina on March 11th, the film was shown to D23 members. Additional D23 showings around the US were planned, but they were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [28]
Original poster with March 27 release date
Originally scheduled to premiere in the United States on March 27, 2020, the film's worldwide release was forced to be delayed until July 24, 2020, in response to crowd concerns related to the coronavirus outbreak.[29] In response to the delay, director Niki Caro wrote a letter to fans, stating that she hoped the fighting spirit of Mulan would inspire everyone working to keep people safe and praising the film's cast and crew.[30] On May 5, 2020, Disney CEO Bob Chapek indicated that the studio remained committed to the July 24th date, stating that "Our fingers are crossed. That's our first big movie out of the gate."[31] However, on June 24, 2020, it was reported that a source close to the film had indicated that Disney was weighing the possibility of again postponing the film.[32] On June 26, 2020, it was officially announced that the film had been delayed to a release date of August 21, 2020.[33] But on July 23, the film was stripped of its release date.[5] On August 4, 2020, it was announced that the film will premiere on Disney+ on September 4, 2020 at a price point of $29.99 and theatrically in markets where theaters are open and Disney+ is not available.[3] The decision was received poorly by U.K. cinema orders who reacted with colorful language, and Phil Clapp, head of the UK Cinema Association stated "The decision not to give cinemas the chance to play the film (even if day-and-date with Disney+) is frankly bewildering and something we’ve of course gone back to them on."[34] A French theater owner went viral with a video of him taking a baseball bat to a large stand-up Mulan display in his theater following the announcement.[35] The owner of AMC, however, empathized with Disney's decision, stating that AMC had faced similar pressures in the wake of the pandemic.[36] On August 11, 2020, Disney specifically confirmed that the film would be released theatrically in China.[37] On August 21, 2020, it was revealed that the title would also be made available to purchase via Apple, Roku, and Google.[38] On August 29, 2020, Disney erroneously posted a banner on Disney+ stating the film would become available to all Disney+ subscribers on December 4, 2020, though this banner was later removed.[39] It was later confirmed on September 2 that the film would be made available to all Disney+ subscribers on December 4.[6]
Reception
Critical reception
In the days prior to the film's release, critics were given the ability to stream Mulan in order to review it. The embargo for these reviews was lifted on September 3rd.[40] Mulan received mostly positive reviews, giving it a score of 80% on Rotton Tomatoes out of 199 total reviews and a 68% on Metacritic out of 45 total reviews.[41][42] Among critics who spoke highly of Mulan, Laura Prudom with IGN wrote that it is a "confident blend of old and new, hiding a familiar heart under action-packed armor". [43] Leah Greenblatt with Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Mulan might be the closest thing to a true old-fashioned theater-going experience the end of this strange summer will see". [44]
Negative reviews criticized the tonal shift in the film from the original. The film's loss of the musical numbers and Mushu did not sit well well with some critics. Among other criticisms were that character development was sabotaged to make a more action-packed film. Meg Downey with Gamespot wrote that "It's not aiming for the same demographic as its animated counterpart, but it never commits to anything that could make it more mature in a meaningful way, instead opting for more battle scenes and CGI-infused action rather than nuance or narrative complexity".[45]
Differences from the 1998 film
- The remake starts with Mulan's childhood, while the original film did not.
- Mulan never appeared as a young girl in the original film.
- Mulan's family name "Fa" has been changed to "Hua", which is the same name from the original legend.

- The villain character Bori Khan (played by Jason Scott Lee) takes the place of Shan Yu in the 1998 film.
- Shan Yu's goal in the original film is to conquer China while Bori Khan's goal in the remake is to avenge his father.

- The shapeshifting witch character Xian Lang takes the place of Hayabusa the Falcon.

- While the film pays tribute to the songs of the original film, it does not have musical numbers.[22] However, Christina Aguilera, who performed a pop version of "Reflection" for the original film, returns to perform a new song titled "Loyal Brave True"[47]. Aguilera recorded a new version of "Reflection" for the film's credits.[48]
- In the remake, Mulan not only wraps her hair into a bun, but also wears a helmet alongside her father's armor before departing to join the army. In the original film, she never wore a helmet before leaving her home.

- This scene occurs in the day instead of at night.
- In the original film, General Shang and Chancellor Chi-Fu find out about Fa Zhou by reading the scroll that Mulan had and believe that she is Fa Zhou's son. In the remake, Mulan instead simply tells Commander Tung and Chen Honghui that she is Hua Zhou's son.
- Prior to the Rouran Army invading China, it is said that they had ravaged the northern cities located outside of China.
- Chancellor Chi-Fu is never referred by name, only by his job as chancellor.
- The fight that was triggered at the camp while the soldiers are waiting in line for rice does not happen in the remake. Instead, a soldier pushes Mulan over and Chen Honghui tries to help her up, who then refuses his help. The two nearly get into a fight with their swords before Commander Tung stops them.
- Sergeant Qiang, Skatch, Ramtish, Red Fez, Cricket, and Lee Xian are new characters that appear in the remake.
- The scene where Shang (Tung) and his fellow soldiers use a giant shishi statue to barge in the palace to fight against the Huns (Rourans) is omitted.

- While going for a night swim in the original film, Mulan is joined by Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po. In this film, she is instead joined by Honghui, whom she nearly reveals her identity to.

- In the original film, Mulan's identity is revealed when a medic is treating her injuries. In this film, she instead personally reveals her identity in front of the Chinese Army after the defeat of the Rouran Army.
- In the original film, Mulan was meant to be executed for deceiving the Chinese Army, but was instead spared and told to leave. In the remake, Tung instead simply tells her to leave or she will be executed.
- In the original film, Shan Yu (Bori Khan) is killed in an explosion while in the remake, he is killed by his own arrow that was deflected back at him by Mulan.
- In the original film, Shan Yu slashes Mulan in the crest after she causes the avalanche, injuring her. In this film, Xian Lang does this instead, but this does not hurt Mulan; instead, it reveals her female clothes under her armor.

- The battle between Mulan and Bori Khan takes place in a construction site instead of at the palace.
- Additionally, the Emperor is held hostage at the construction site instead of on the palace balcony.

Trivia
- The castle in the Walt Disney Pictures logo takes on the form of Shanghai Disneyland's Enchanted Storybook Castle.
- Actress Gong Li, who plays the evil witch character, Xian Lang, was also the inspiration for the 1998 animated version/counterpart of Mulan. Ironically, Xian Lang is very similar to Mulan.
- This is the first live-action remake of a Disney Animated Canon movie to be rated PG-13. Notably, the original film was rated G, and the film's PG-13 rating is stated to be entirely in relation to "sequences of violence."[49]
- Thus, it's also the third live-action remake of a Disney Animated Canon movie not to be rated PG by the MPAA after 1996's 101 Dalmatians and 1998's direct-to-video film The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story, both of which were rated G.
- This is the second live-action remake of a Disney Animated Canon movie that is released on Disney+, the first being Lady and the Tramp.
- This is the fourth Disney+ movie that was originally intended as a theatrical release, after Artemis Fowl, Magic Camp, and The One and Only Ivan.
- This is the third time an end credits performer of a Disney animated film performs a new end credits song for a Disney live-action remake (Christina Aguilera performs both Loyal Brave True and a new version of Reflection) after 2017's Beauty and the Beast (in which Celine Dion performed an end credits version of How Does a Moment Last Forever) and 2019's The Lion King (in which Elton John performed Never Too Late).
- Thus, it is also the first time an end credits performer of a Disney animated film reprises an end credits song from the original Disney animated film.
