If they need money to keep investors interested, I do think they could easily change their initial plan, regardless of what was the original concept for Disney+. And what is happening with ‘Mulan’ is imo a huge step to this.

I agree, having a paid section within the app is confusing. I buy all my digital copies through Vudu and Movies Anywhere and now I’m paying $30 to basically add a movie to my Disney+ account but don’t get the digital copy myself? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

An official China poster for the film issued Monday was widely ridiculed online as “ugly” and “dated,” a bad omen for a $200 million blockbuster that has gone out of its way to appeal to Chinese audiences in everything from its casting choices to story changes and set design.

“Did foreigners design this?? Is this for real??” wrote one commentator. “It looks like you messed up your Photoshop.” Another echoed the sentiment: “At first I thought this was a poster put out by some cinema itself; only after searching did I figure out that this was actually issued by Disney itself.”

A number of people had fun comparing the poster to those of B-grade local productions, saying it had the look of promo for a straight-to-streaming internet movie or soap.

“It looks just like an anti-Japanese war drama,” one wrote, likening it to a popular type of downmarket television typically put on by middle-aged housewives as background noise to accompany their chores.

The chosen old-school font solicited a particular Comic Sans-esque cringe. To the native eye, the calligraphic text is more reminiscent of early 2000s communal notices put up in residential compounds to remind people to take out their trash than Northern Wei dynasty poetry.

It’s been a long awaited project that had to be postponed in the beginning of the year when all the theatres got shut down...but now we can reveal this beautiful movie and unveil the songs and music videos that I recorded in both English and Spanish. Including a reimagined “Reflection” to coincide with this movie’s score. A very nostalgic and special moment — seeing as this movie started it all for me. Leading to a record deal and the rest of my career to follow. Disney has always been the beginning of many magical things for me and I’m proud to now share this one!

This movie started it all for me, leading to a record deal and the rest of my career to follow...Exiting for you to see this beautiful film in live action...and unveil both the songs I recorded in English and Spanish for you.

Niki Caro wrote:Loyal, Brave, True. My anthem, and my pleasure to finally share this song and video today. When I first heard the song written by Jamie Hartman, from composer Harry Gregson-Williams' ‘Mulan’ theme, and sung immaculately by Rosie Golan, I knew it was perfect. What an honor to have it recorded by the incomparable Christina Aguilera, and a rare thrill to direct her in the video. Stunning digital images by Lisa Bolan at elastic.tv.
