So I also quickly learned that this “Mulan” was not the same “Mulan” that I had grown up with. I eagerly awaited any and all news, trailers and teasers about the movie. The excitement and joy I felt at the prospect of seeing the lore of Mulan reimagined on the big screen, with a full cast of people who look like me, telling the story of a woman simultaneously fighting for her people and against her patriarchal society, kept me on the edge of my seat for months. From “Reflection” to “I'll Make A Man Out Of You,” the movie was also filled with some of the most iconic music that defined this era of Disney animated films.
Mulan is one of the few Disney princesses of color, and arguably the Disney princess with the most compelling story - not about falling in love or finding her prince, but about discovering her own strength, living her truth and saving her country. When the live-action remake of the Disney classic movie “Mulan” was announced years ago, the hearts of thousands of Asian-American girls soared and sang with glee.
