This movie is NOT a remake of Disney's animated movie (in IMHO, one of Disney's best) . It IS a beautiful reimagining of the Mulan fable with loving nods to the original while standing completely on its own. This Mulan is artistically constructed, shot and acted. The costumes are fantastic, the photography is gorgeous, the action is exciting and the acting is superb. Allow that this is a fairy tale, not a Chinese history lesson, like some critics seem to think (although the care and research on the period is phenomenal), and you can appreciate what a very special piece of art this beautiful movie is. There is room in the universe for both of Disney's takes on this story.
