'Mulan'

The fiercest warrior in China is getting a movie remake, but some warn it won't be the same as the cartoon. According to the director, Niki Caro, this remake is a mixture of the Disney animated movie and the original Chinese ballad.

"In all my work that is centered in cultures not my own, I hope that comes through because that is incredibly important to me," said Caro in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "… As the projects get bigger, the more certain I am that cultural authenticity and specificity is the only way to approach my work."

Disney's Mulan premieres March 27, 2020.
