Synopsis

Disney continues with the production of remakes of the original titles that we all know since the 1990s, in this case we will see 'Mulan' in a live action production under the direction of Niki Caro. More than twenty years later but following the main story told in 1998, 'Mulan' tells the legend of a young Chinese woman, in this case played by Liu Yifei, daughter of a great warrior who is very old and sick. Her rebellion at the idea of marriage seems to be the only problem the family faces, but when the Chinese Emperor (Jet Li) summons all the men of China to enlist against the invasion of the Huns, the real conflict for the family begins. In this moment, Mulan will have to decide she can't leave her father go on in such a dangerous mission. She disguises herself as a man to take the place of her sick father and fight in his place in war. Helped by unforgettable friends and fellow travelers, who will differ a little from those of the original film like Mushu, with this action she will become not only a legend, but a great heroine for her homeland that will bring honor to her family demonstrating that the strength of a person resides inside. Joining the protagonist, actors such as Donnie Yen playing Commander Yung or Tzi Ma that playing Fa Zhou will participate in the cast.
