Mulan arrives on March 27, 2020, but the project started years earlier when Niki Caro joined in 2017.

That begins with one of the more contentious parts of the new film - Mushu is replaced by a much more culturally accurate Phoenix.
So what's the significance of this bird?
The Phoenix represents heavenly power, and households with it meant the people living inside were loyal and honest.
忠 - Zhōng
勇 - Yǒng
真 - Zhēn
These words are the core of what drives our hero and what our Phoenix represents.
Her father is played by @tzima8, her mother by @rosalindchao, and her sister by Xana Tang.
That Emperor, is the one and only JET LI. Nuff said - this is one of the greatest martial artists in the history of movies. Legend.
And this time around? A REAL bad guy - no weird grey skin and yellow eyes.
