Twitter User's Theory On Disney’s Mulan (2020) Essentially Being Chinese Propaganda Is Hard To Ignore
Controversy surrounding Disney's live-action remake of their animated film Mulan has been circling since day one. People have been upset about all sorts of things from learning there would be no Mushu, to learning there would be no Shang, and especially when they learned it wasn't a musical.
Still, hype was also there along the way. People were really excited when the trailers were released, but just days before the theatrical release of the feature-length film Disney delayed everything due to coronavirus complications.
At long last, Disney launched Mulan with premier access on Disney+ for a one-time fee, which alone sparked outrage from half of Disney's fan base (although according to Forbes, Mulan’s release still led to a 68% increase in Disney+ downloads!)
While reviews have been a bit abysmal, Twitter user Rohan Javet Beg's analysis has really got people talking. Warning, SPOILERS ahead.
