This movie had a strike against it before I saw it given the political situation in China and Disney given thank you credits to the regime that has ethnic populations in concentration camp. What it had going for it was a plot that was already familiar. Of course, not being animated, somethings had to change, and mostly this is the dropping of the dragons and the ancestors. The other drop was the music.
There were some nice additions. The skill with which people maneuvered on posts and planks was very exciting. They were jumping from building to building and doing all kinds of crazy stuff. The growth of Mulan was also well done.
I prefer the original animated version with music from Donnie Osmond and Lea Salonga.
Yifei Liu stars as Mulan and Donnie Yen as Commander Tung.
