Sorry, but am I the only one who thinks that Disney made a mistake for choosing Niki Caro as the director of Mulan?
I'm not saying that Niki Caro's movies are bad, but it's just that her area or style in movies just doesn't fit Mulan's concept.
I'll try to make this brief.
Niki Caro is good at portraying movies in terms of discussion of family conflict or such (basically relationship builds, she's aware of that and is really good at it.
But in the case of visual imagery, aesthetic, and design for this movie, I don't think she's could properly execute the Chinese concept.
Based on her past movies, it's all very western-centric. Which effects where this movie is currently heading to.
(and the power idea, what is this? a superhero movie)
the whole point of the movie is to show that Mulan have what it takes just the way she is (which what draws the audience to her)
The concept and overall planned storyline is a very westernized (just to be clear I have nothing against the western concept, but it just doesn't match Mulan)
I'm not saying that Disney should scrape Niki out of the picture, instead I think that the position co-director or producer would be better fitting for her.
Not to be racist or anything, but I think a Chinese Director would be fitting for this position.
Because they know the authenticity of Chinese culture best, and they know how to properly portray what it was like in their past culture.
they know what and how are things supposed to be portrayed.
One of the perfect candidates which I think will be perfect is, Jackie Chan (considering he has worked for Disney before)
he has the perfect balance between comedy, family, and etc (while maintaining the Chinese inheritance)
But so far, good luck Mulan lovers. We will go down in the train of depression together when the movie comes out.
(keep in mind that this is just an opinion)

One thing I REALLY want to see: during the finale in the Forbidden City--WIRE WORK directed by Ang Lee! Reminding everyone that, at this point, Mulan is as kick-butt as the leader of the Huns, they need a choreographed battle equal to anything in Crouching Tiger. THAT would bring honor to everyone!

The one thing I REALLY hope they keep is her powerful scene in which she makes her decision and disguises herself with her father's armor. Look, even if it's not accompanied by that amazing powerful song, a variation of that scene NEEDS to be in there, with some equally dramatic music.

I need the song Reflection, Youll Bring Honor to Us All, A Girl Worth Fighting For, and ILL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU
oh wait those are all of the songs
But I still have one question. If they do Refection then how will the actress wipe the makeup flawlessly off her face?

In my opinion the remake of Mulan might as well be PG-13 cause it's a war film just like it's animated counterpart. No doubt this remake is gonna have a lot of intense action sequences. And since Mulan is a war movie I wonder how they're gonna keep it rated PG.

As far as music goes, it could go in 3 different directions:
1. All of the songs: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
2. Some of the songs: THE JUNGLE BOOK (i. e, The Bare Necessities, I Wanna Be Like You)
3. Songs only in the End Credits: CINDERELLA

I want the dramatic scene with mulan singing reflections because that is mulan all about. Not the war. But her transformation. Thats her edge among all these disney princesses and makes her even more relevant today

Well, I know one song Disney could (and should) integrate into the remake: A Girl Worth Fighting For. How you might ask? Well, soldiers usually sings songs while marching to war, well this could be that song.

I'm used to versions of Mulan in China, where she's already one of the best fighters and a lesser god was sent to watch her secretly and help indirectly, instead of a dragon She didn't need his help either

I wanted exactly ONE thing from a live remake of Mulan: elaborate acrobatic wire-work in the style of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. From what I've seen in the trailers: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Mulan have been one of my favorite disney movie, I've heard that they will remove Shang, Mushu or even the 3 soldier friends of Mulan! That's not fair! Wish that they don't change the characters.

Honestly, I just wanna see the Mongols (refuse to call them Huns because history) given more dimension, especially given that the original portrayed them more as orcs than people.

During the era depicted in legend of Mulan, China had many minorities populations including the Caucasian race. Historically speaking it is possible to have white characters lol

Disney did a great take on The Mulan FABLE/Legend. But Mulan is not an original Disney story. It's like saying Disney orginally wrote The King Arthur Legend.

No need to worry about whitewashing. Itll be a full blown Chinese cast including A listers Jet Li & Donnie Yen no Jackie Chan or Ming Na Wen though

I hope that they decide to go in the direction of Hua Mulan: Rise of a Warrior. I mean the music in the first one was great, but this is a war story.

Except the Chinese casting and that is not even the most important thing

There's an error in that scene. Shang goes walking right into the rock wall when carrying the bags on his shoulders.

Don't need a cutsie remake-- I want to see elements of the true story. This needs to be more mature and high quality.

No, just keep the song. Not the scene. Mulan already knew how to fight. Mulan was taught by her father and mother.
