5 things to know about Mulan on Disney Plus Premier
You can finally stream the Mulan live-action reboot on Disney Plus Premier
After months of waiting, we finally get a chance to watch the Mulan live-action reboot. It’s available to buy on Disney Plus Premier right now.
The movie reboot is a mixture of the original Chinese ballad and the 1998 animated movie. There are different versions of the ballad, so they’ve all been used to bring a full tale that is respectful to Chinese culture, which means no talking dragon. It also brings many elements that western audiences loved about the animated kid’s movie.
