Skye Reynolds 02/26/20 7:40:38 PM #11:	Honestly, Disney needs this film more than it needs another musical or another comedy. The original film was an Eddie Murphy vehicle. He's the character the audience gravitated toward. In Disney's first and thus far only animated movie about an action heroine, the talking lizard is the character you left the film remembering. (Don't try to deny it.) Look, I'm gonna miss Mushu as much as anybody. But this is an opportunity to do something sincere. As woke as they are now, Disney is still seemingly hesitant to have women in capable combat roles. And Asian women are desperately underrepresented in Hollywood -- aside from the occasional white guy's girlfriend. I hope this film proves successful and opens up new doors. Hollywood is getting better about representation. I hope this film is the next link in that chain. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:934921259] in Disney's B...

It was the literal same movie, except done in an inferior way. The whole time I kept watching, I was going "man the animated movie did this part so much better". I'm glad they're trying to do something different and I'm hoping Disney is going to continue taking more risks. The MCU movie got consistently better as they started to deviate from the typical safe MCU formula and got better villains in their movies. If you make it live action, make it something different. And you're right about the animated movie being a Eddie Murphy fuel, most of us only remember it for Mushu and not really for Mulan... which probably brings up my other fear for this movie. I really hope they do a good job with her character because she needs to carry the movie on her own or it might turn into a disaster. --- DI MOLTO!

The parallels between Mulan and Babe are surprisingly large. I'm hoping they focus more on those aspects. I'm actually pretty hyped to see what they do.</quote>Hell, I was a kid and I still never gave a shit about Mushu. If anything, I usually found those kinds of characters obnoxious. Aladdin was another of my favorites, and I wasn't a fan of Genie either. I (shockingly) liked the title characters of those movies most. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

The people aren't supposed to reminisce about the good old days. They're supposed to appreciate how much better life is under communism than it was under the emperors.
