Internet Reacts To First Look At Live-Action 'Mulan'

Shut Up And Take My Money

One picture is all it takes to sell some people on the concept of this live-action Mulan:

Not My Mulan

Right now, there seems to be LOT of fan complaint that this live-action version is taking too many departures from the animated version — which was itself a departure from the original legend. Go figure.

Like making a movie closer to the source material is good but especially with out BATB and TJB were it’s disingenuous to call it just a live action version when most of what people know is Mulan isn’t there

Don’t know how much faith I can have in the live action mulan film with the fact Shang isn’t in it and they’re adding a useless character instead and there’s no songs.

The cast will be stunning and amazing but it’s not going to be the same mulan movie

Animation > Live-Action

Some people just can't find the Disney magic in live-action ...

this isn’t anti-Mulan, I like Mulan, nor is it anti-Asian actors in film - it’s just - Mulan already exists and it’s wonderful and gorgeous, make more Mulans, don’t just make Mulan over again but in live action this time

Songless & Shang-less

These losses are too great for some fans to endure ...

Mulan is my favorite Disney movie. Now they're remaking it without the music and without Shang ?

Rick and Morty Is All We Need

Some people are happy just to have McDonald's Mulan-inspired Szechuan sauce back.

We got the Mulan McNugget sauce now, y’all can keep this @Disney https://t.co/jH0XCh7O8A

No Superheroes

People love their superhero movies, these days — just not when they're adaptations of classic Disney animated movies.

she's GORGEOUS but im sad this movie is gonna stray from the animation, we're not getting characters like li shang or mushu and they're giving mulan superpowers which erases what makes her so special (managing to do incredible things with her cleverness & willpower only) ughh why https://t.co/EQaN5dZ9Mn

Return of the Dragon

But the biggest crime in all this may be the loss of Eddie Murphy's Mushu the dragon.

The Chosen One

How strong is Liu Yifei's star power on an international scale? Pretty considerable right now, and only growing bigger ...

Oh. Liu Yifei as Mulan. I was expecting some1 less famous.

I mean, i know her name. That means she's famous.

You wouldn't know it, but Mulan is apparently one of the greatest inspirations of male fitness regiments.

Live action mulan will have me swole with a man bun by 2020

Total Disney Anxiety

Mulan is just one of the big Disney live-action adaptations with heavy cultural influences, which is exactly why it's making a lot of fans nervous about its execution.

Same. The recent Live action movie cast with this and Aladdin has me kind of scared. Plus, Mulan might not include the music from the animated version.
