Members of the press were able to attend early screenings of Disney’s remake of Mulan, and first impressions are overly positive.
Many claim that while there is a bit changed from 1998’s Mulan, it more than makes up for it and may even be the best live-action adaptation of a Disney classic yet. Many claim it doesn’t even matter that this one is not a musical.
Mulan has great action scenes, a more mature tone, and is “surprisingly sexy for a Disney movie.”
