We’re cautiously optimistic about the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures live-action adaptation of “Mulan.” With Niki Caro (“Whale Rider“) directing, we were automatically interested to see what the ancient Chinese legend would entail in a new version.

If you’ll recall, it was announced earlier this month that the film, a multi-million-dollar production, would be skipping full theatrical release due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, after being delayed several times in 2020. It’ll instead be premiering on Disney+, the House of Mouse’s streaming service, for a $29.99 additional fee. This is NOT a ‘rental,’ as the film will remain in the user’s library in perpetuity.
Just this morning, Disney released an all-new featurette for “Mulan” ahead of the Disney+ release:
"I’m so happy that we’ve been able to deliver an epic vision of Mulan’s story.” Watch Director Niki Caro as she takes you behind-the-scenes of Disney’s #Mulan. Steaming exclusively September 4 on #DisneyPlus with Premier Access.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
