YESSSSS!!!!

[ttt]

I'm gonna need to see this casting: 

[meshaliuknits]

There had better be a smart mouthed little dragon in it.

[elleblue]

Dragon. Not a lizard. Dra-gun.


Always cracks me up.

[pixy0stix]

I love this movie a whole lot.

[underwaterrhymes]

This is my favorite Disney movie.

He doesn't do that tongue thang.

[picksthemusic]

My daughter will be so excited. I love this movie too, so this is great!

DISHONOR on YOU! Dishonor on your COW!

There was not a single only Mulan item to be found in the whole of Disneyworld or downtown disney.

I was sad, esp since I dressed as Mulan for the princess half

Of course not. She's a minority who didn't wear big flouffy gowns, nor was she a traditional princess.

True, but they did have a very few Pocahontas, and a few more Tiana and Merida, who seem to be the other unloved princesses. I was actually surprised by the lack of Mulan, though, because the sheer number of items in those stores, including stuffed Pegasus from Fantasia and a Marie from Aristocats.

Please oh please let them actually cast a Chinese actress for this role. I still feel some kind of way about a Korean lady playing Mulan on Once Upon a Time. #notallasians

The Chinese live-action film Hua Mulan is pretty good. It's in Mandarin and doesn't feature a tiny dragon, but still good.

I like Mulan and think it could actually be good as live action. I didn't like Maleficent or Cinderella (boring).

Explains why it's only pretty good.

When you write a letter to complain about it, can you mention that more than two things should have Hera and Sabine from Star Wars Rebels on it?

I love Mulan! However, I think I'd rather see a movie version of the original Chinese legend.

We found a few items at Epcot but that was it.

I'm also annoyed at the lack of Princess Leia stuff at HS.

I know he's a Whitey McWhiterson, but I really want Donny Osmond to sing Be A Man if it's going to be a musical (which I doubt).

Hua Mulan! It has subtitles.

Ok. I like this game. Dream Cast?

• Maggie Q as Fa Mulan
• Eddie Murphy as Mushu Dragons ain’t go no race, y’all
• Harry Shum Jr as Captain Li Shang
• Tzi Ma as Shan Yu
• Jimmy Wong as Yao
• Russell Wong as Ling
• Kenneth Jeong as Chien-Po (you know he is going to be in this movie)
• James Hong as Chi-Fu
• BD Wong as Fa Zhou (sorry, BD, not more romantic heartthrob for you, old man)
• Ming Na as Grandmother Fa (Nice tie in to the animated movie, and nope, she’s not old enough)
• Jackie Chan as The Emperor of China
• George Takei as First Ancestor (Takei gets to stay. Yes, I know, Japanese American)
• Lauren Tom as The Matchmaker
• Freda Foh Shen as Fa Li
• Daniel Dae Kim as General Li (Yes, I know he is Korean, but any movie at all without him is not worth watching. Jack Kang in Candor?? YES!)

If they need to rewrite it with a love triangle to fit him in, then so be it.

I am so excited. This is my favourite movie. Period.

[Dumbledork]

So are they just going to redo all the Disney princess movie as live action now? Is that the deal? Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and now Mulan?

I mean, Mulan is my favorite and I'm all kinds of excited to see Emma be Belle, but damn. Let's find some fresh ideas.

[underwaterrhymes]

I worked at Disney World when this movie came out and my fellow interns and I would take turns calling each other and putting ourselves on hold so we could listen to the soundtrack since it was the hold music at the time.
