there guys beauty? Will here! As we all know Mulan is one of Disney's greatest tales. The animation was quite successful and became a reference at Disney. Ben Mulan tells the story of a girl who took her father's place in the call of war. Because the story takes place in a time when women had no voice or right to some things unfortunately in some places until today. Returning to the film, his father had already reached a certain age and as the family did not have a son, his father would be summoned to war, but he was already old and did not have the health to do so. So she cut her hair, dressed like a soldier and took her father's place in that summons.

In a twist, Mulan ends up becoming a heroine of all China, even gaining access to the emperor and so she managed to gain a little respect and a little more appreciation in that archaic and patriarchal world on behalf of women. In the movie Mulan we can also know a little more about Chinese culture, its customs, its food, its celebrations and so on. A point that gained prominence in the film was the ancestral spirits that took care of her. In this case, the spirit that took care of her took the form of a talking dragon.

What to expect from live action:

The next live-action of a classic Disney animation will be Mulan, but this one promises to be the most different of all. Aiming to become an action epic more faithful to the original tale, the film strays far from animation, which includes not relying on its music. In an interview with Digital Spy, director Niki Caro explained the decision not to bring any of the songs from the animation to the live-action adaptation. Which caused controversy across the internet.
