Did we need a live-action version of Mulan? What was wrong with the animated version (that is better in the live version)?

Edit: I might even have been excited about a new version of Mulan if not for the controversies surrounding it. It is a shame because it was one of my favourites as a child.

I’m glad I watched that. Looks like the movie is a waste of time

We don’t “need” any movie. Anyway, I liked the live action one. Nothing groundbreaking of course but what movie is these days?

Did we need a live version of Lord of The Rings? What was wrong with the print version?

The original Mulan legend is good material as is the original movie. If the new movie had been any good we'd likely all be happy for it.

A Star Was Born has been re-made 4 times. The most recent is the highest rated. Pride and Prejudice has been made several times. I personally really enjoyed the mid 90s version. Mutiny on Bounty has been re-made more than once. I liked the 60s version over the 40s version. I liked the 2005 King Kong (and the 1933 King Kong)

There's nothing wrong with remaking. It's just disappointing when it's a bad remake.

I'll tag along: I liked the live action version of Aladdin a lot more than the animated.

> Disney is under fire for shooting its new film Mulan in parts of China where the government is accused of serious human rights abuses.

Because as we all know, if they’d shot it in any other province, the crimes against humanity basically aren’t even happening!
