Mulan (Live-Action)
Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
Disney's Divinity,
I don't know how to quote here, so I will try to address each point:
Yes, TJB got close to a billion... but it's still beneath the others financially. Same as Aladdin is beneath TLK, by quite a margin. I find it interesting that the remakes tend to have boxoffice results similar to the perception of the originals. The original LK and BATB are seemingly considered superior to Aladdin, and it's reflected in their remake's boxoffice. And again, I explained before what I suspect is the reason for TJB's box office.
And that is NOT what I said about Mulan: not only Disney fans know it exists, but I do think (mostly) only Disney fans love it. And I have talked about this kind of stuff with people from different countries and ages, and I seem to get the same answers. Not only that, but Disney knows this too: otherwise, Mulan would have been included in the Platinum/Diamond/Signature line. Mulan is a good movie, but it is not at that level of cultural impact.
I also never said that Disney projected a sequel to Mulan 2020 based on personal opinions. I'm sure they have data and calculations for that, and also consider if a sequel is even possible (based on story; BATB cant have a sequel, the beast is now a prince). But that is all still guess work. It's an educated guess, but a guess all the same.
Also disagree on Mulan 2020: I thought it was painfully mediocre, but generally a little better than most of these remakes, which I consider to be mostly crap.

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
Well, I'll repeat the same to you: That is NOT what I said about the original Mulan. I never said it was at the same level as The Lion King or B&tB, etc. or that it belonged in the Diamond line. What I said is that I expected the remake to make a billion off the back of its popularity. Alice isn't in the Diamond line either, so what? My experience among people I've talked to doesn't align with yours at all. The only thing we know is Disney planned a sequel to this before it was even released.Marce82 wrote:

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
A female version of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" will be released this week. It's sung by Toni Scruggs, Nayana Holley, and Kara Britz. You can listen to a snippet, here. This was originally going to be an end credits song, but it got cut. Update: The lyric video, the music video, and the karaoke version are now out.

Chinese Audiences Who Don’t Want Disney’s Live-Action ‘Mulan’ Get A New Option: Animated ‘Kung Fu Mulan’
https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-fil ... 96752.html
https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-fil ... 96752.html
Although its release shortly after Disney’s Mulan can’t have been planned — Disney’s film was rescheduled multiple times in the pandemic — the promotional campaign for Kung Fu Mulan is implicitly playing up the contrast between the two. The tagline on its poster (see below) reads “Real China. Real Mulan.”

As far as the images in the lyric video, I'm surprised they didn't include Eleanor Roosevelt or Hillary Clinton (unless they did and it flew by so fast I missed it). As far as media figures, I'd have thought they'd have used The Golden Girls or at least Bea Arthur solo for Maude. Or Aretha?

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
Oh, okay. That makes sense. I thought maybe it had been finished for the soundtrack / End Credits and then discarded just before release day. I might buy the song anyway just to support Wilder.

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
It's really interesting that both American and Chinese audiences hated the remake for the same reasons.
Source: https://variety.com/2020/film/asia/why- ... 234770198/Even though Disney bent over backwards to create a live-action “Mulan” that would appeal to China, disgruntled Chinese viewers have dubbed it “the worst ‘Mulan’ in history,” saying that it feels “wooden” and offensively inauthentic.
The poor reception means that the $200 million Disney blockbuster will gain little traction in its most critical territory — one of the only major markets where the otherwise straight-to-Disney Plus title will see a theatrical release. “Mulan” is currently forecast by data tracker Maoyan to gross just $38.5 million (RMB265 million) — less than a tenth of the $437 million (RMB2.99 billion) projected cumulative for the Chinese war film “The Eight Hundred.”
“Mulan” currently rates a low but not egregious 7.5 and 7.6 out of 10 on the Maoyan and Tao Piaopiao ticketing platforms, respectively. [...] On the more discerning Douban user review platform, however, the title ranks a dismal 4.9 out of 10.
“The Americans invited all the famous Chinese actors they could think of and piled together all the Chinese elements that they could find to create this car crash,” reads one of the most popular reviews. “It’s full of Western stereotypes and conjectures about China, and particularly ancient China.”
Numerous viewers across all platforms slammed the new “Mulan” as being worse than another blockbuster that tried and failed to work both sides of the Pacific. “Even ‘The Great Wall’ is better than this,” one wrote. “After watching ‘Mulan,’ I want to apologize to [‘Great Wall’ director] Zhang Yimou and [its star] Jing Tian.”
The most fundamental flaw, most felt, was that Disney’s new heroine starts out from childhood already equipped with superhero-like abilities, thanks to her extraordinary reserves of “qi,” the force that she cultivates and controls to excel as a fighter. Turning her into a superhero removes Mulan’s everywoman appeal, and leaves her with no room to grow as a character, huge swathes of Chinese viewers said.
“It feels that this Mulan was born with eight-pack abs,” one wrote. “She has no shortcomings — and even small shortcomings can be overcome immediately. She’s lost the complexity of the animated version of the character, who is both a cute little girl and a powerful heroine. She has no process of gradual growth.”
And while Chinese viewers are familiar with the concept of “qi,” they were baffled by Disney’s take on the vital energy traditionally considered to underlie the practice of Chinese medicine and martial arts, asking: “What exactly is ‘qi’ here? What’s even the difference between ‘qi’ and not ‘qi’?”
Like other global audiences, mainlanders also felt frustrated with plot holes and missing character motivations, calling much of the storyline “simply inexplicable.” In particular, there was confusion as to what stopped Gong Li’s seemingly all-powerful witch character Xianniang from simply taking over herself, why she experienced a sudden change of heart, and why the film’s villains were consistently stupid enough to fall for Mulan’s simple ploys.
Chinese audiences are no stranger to adaptations of the famed original fifth century “Mulan” poem. There have been at least 17 local film and TV versions of the legend, dating as far back as the 1920s. Surprisingly perhaps, many viewers have a nostalgia-tinged fondness in China for Disney’s 1998 animation. A good number bemoaned the loss of the animated film’s songs, humor and the dragon character Mushu.
This time around, even the fight scenes and grand visuals praised by Western critics didn’t all translate for the Chinese audience. “The special effects were very embarrassing. I felt like I could’ve been watching ‘Shaolin Soccer’,” one reviewer wrote, while others bemoaned the standards of its kung fu, comparing the fight scenes to those found in local costume dramas from a decade ago.
Disney’s new “Mulan” was initially celebrated in the West for being a landmark for Asian-American representation, thanks to its all-Asian cast. Yet many of the elements seemingly included to boost its authenticity have fallen flat with their target mainland audience.
One viewer wrote that the script’s constant repetition of the terms “loyal, brave, and true” felt like “a Google Translate take on Chinese.” “The whole film is just shouting empty slogans. Where are these qualities even reflected in the film?” he asked, questioning the logic, for instance, of why Mulan simply throws away all of her protective armor in the middle of a battle. The choice is obviously nonsensical, but it is also highly unfilial, since the garb is a treasured heirloom from her father.
Many Chinese audience members are familiar with the original ballad in its classical Chinese, and know almost by heart its cryptic final lines — a metaphor for gender parity about how male and female rabbits are indistinguishable when running side by side. Numerous respondents laughed uproariously at how the film reproduces this literally by having the young Mulan spot two rabbits scampering through a field and commenting on how she could not determine their gender, calling the moment one of “forced East-West fusion.”
Disney cast lead actress Liu Yifei specifically to appeal to China, where many consider her the epitome of an appealing type of beauty well-suited to costume dramas. The decision stoked controversy outside China after Liu made comments on social media that aligned her with the Chinese government and against protesters fighting for democracy in Hong Kong. While the actress has her ardent fans in China who passionately support her no matter what, mainland Chinese reception of Liu’s performance was divided. Some felt she held her own on a large production, while others found her acting unbearably wooden, or her presence “too soft” for a hardened soldier.
Meanwhile, the ethnically Chinese stars chosen for their wide global appeal also failed to pass the test. Many felt put off by Jet Li’s styling as the Emperor, saying his look had a “whiff of Fu Manchu,” the fictional 20th century villain. “If he hadn’t spoken, I would’ve thought the crew put up a Jet Li scarecrow to rehearse with and forgot to change it back to the real person when filming,” said one viewer.

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
The remake's producer talks about the possibility of a sequel.
Source: https://www.awardsdaily.com/2020/09/04/ ... ason-reed/Q: So last question for you. There has been conversation about a sequel. Is that still on the books? Or is that TBD at this point?
Jason Reed: Well, I also work in television. As a show runner that I was working with once told me… I was talking about how I wanted to save a plot point for an episode two and not put it in the pilot. He tells me, ‘There is no episode two. There is only the pilot.’ So, right now I’m focused exclusively on the first movie. I think there are a lot of opportunities. There are a lot of great stories to tell. There are a lot of great themes to explore. It would be great if we got a chance to do that, but right now I’m focused on this movie.

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
Deserved. I'm more surprised it hasn't fallen more on RottenTomatoes. Right now, its audience rating puts it equal to L&tT. If it were to drop from there, it would only be above Dumbo and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Having now seen Dumbo, I'm surprised it was rated that low. To me, its only real sin is that it's boring...

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
IMDb raters are notorious for bombarding movies starring POC with 1s right out of the gate. I remember Get Out, Black Panther and Selma starting with very low user ratings, despite their critical acclaim, before eventually evening out. IMDb's user base is very white and male and unfortunately racist. I wouldn't use it as a measuring stick.

I remember something similar happening to Wonder Woman and the Ghostbusters remake as well. Still, this film is rated pretty low in several places.

Mulan is getting released on digital on October 6th. No word yet on a DVD/Blu-ray, but people are speculating that the home video release will arrive in early November. What's interesting is that the English version of "Reflection" sung by Liu Yifei is finally being released as a bonus feature. Below's the list of extras included in the digital release.
