The movie that defined feminism through most of my childhood, is back with a live-action adaptation! Disney’s trailer of Mulan, 21 years after the first, will leave you with goosebumps.
Starring Liu Yifei as Mulan, the film – unlike its predecessor which seemed to rely heavily on comic relief, is a visual treat. As a bonus, Reflections, the hit soundtrack from the single can be faintly heard in the background.
With a twist in the tale, the new version features a witch as the main villain and TBH, we think she looks absolutely badass.
It isn’t just us, Twitter can’t seem to keep calm about the trailer either.
The #Mulan remake:

– looks good
– makes sense
– is actually doing something new
– will be truer to the source material
– seems more respectful of Chinese culture
Y’all: Why aren’t you spoon-feeding me the exact same movie? I like the funny dragon man.
it’s great to see Mulan w/o humor in it. allows me to see my childhood movie in a different perspective. already teared up at the 1st min of this trailer. the phoenix takes a human form too! can’t wait already! pic.twitter.com/TGzewCncme

Hello! #Mulan is an ancient Chinese story about a young woman who not only fought a war and won, she brought honor to her family and completely destroyed gender roles.
