Disney revealed new footage of their live-action Mulan movie at D23 Expo today. This early footage shows off some of the film’s early scenes and offers a better idea of how the new remake compares to the 1998 animated movie.
The first of two scenes shows the matchmaker sequence, as a heavily made-u Mulan attempts to impress the matchmaker and earn an honorable choice of husband. Mulan’s mother orders her not to eat, lest she ruin her makeup. Mulan retorts, “The fiercest winter storm could not destroy this makeup.”
Meanwhile, the matchmaker says, “Quiet, composed, graceful – these are qualities we see in a good wife. These are the qualities we see in Mulan. When a wife serves her husband, she must be silent, she must be invisible.”
