The North American version of the movie "Mulan" has revealed a lot of new shots

Last night, Disney's official Weibo account released the first trailer for the movie "Mulan" to Chinese audiences, but this version is basically a special version for Chinese audiences. Today, Walt Disney Studios released the North American version of the trailer, which has many new shots compared to last night's trailer.

The North American version of the trailer for "Mulan" basically explains the whole story of the movie. The whole short film is linked together by "glory" and "duty", explaining the meaning and origin of the phoenix. The story is clearer and the rhythm is better.

The trailer not only shows the whole process of Hua Mulan putting on her makeup, but also shows the legendary phoenix. Mulan's father also points out its symbolic meaning: "She is the emperor's protector, the most beautiful and powerful." It is worth mentioning that Gong Li, who plays the villain, also makes a wonderful appearance.

The action scenes in the trailer are endless and overwhelming. Hua Mulan becomes a member of the army and fights on the battlefield. Gong Li's appearance in the film is impressive. The heavy eye shadow and foreign costumes are eye-catching. In addition, the general played by Donnie Yen also appears in the trailer. The song "Reflection" from the original animation sounded at the right time, bringing people back to memories.

Overall, Liu Yifei's look is not stunning, but it is definitely good-looking. It is also in line with the character setting of the film. It can be said that this look is a breath of fresh air among the "flashy" ancient costume looks. According to Disney's arrangement, the film will be shot in China and New Zealand.

The 1998 animated film "Mulan" is adapted from the well-known story of Mulan joining the army in place of her father. When the Huns invaded from the north and the country was recruiting soldiers, Mulan's elderly father was also called up to the battlefield. The sad Mulan was afraid that her father would never come back, so she disguised herself as a man at midnight, stole her father's armor, and went to the battlefield in his place. In order to protect Mulan, the ancestors of the Hua family sent a kind-hearted dragon Mushu to accompany her. Just when Mulan's military life was getting better, her identity as a woman disguised as a man was exposed, and she and Mushu were abandoned in the snowy frontier... The film is full of Disney's little love songs and is very interesting. It is an excellent source for adaptation.

The film is directed by Niki Caro (The Zookeeper’s Wife, Whale Rider, North Country), and will be released in North America on March 27, 2020, with a release date in mainland China to be determined.
