You are right about everything except the beloved part. I know many many people who say Mulan is their favorite Disney movie. But cutting the music and mushu (right? he's being cut?) is going to kill the movie.
Is it true about the music??????? If it is, why would Disney do that??????? Granted Mulan didn't have a ton of music in it but still.... Saw the trailer of Mulan today when I went to see LK, Didn't see Mushu, Shang, or that she took her father's armor, She didn't even look like Ping! I may not see Mulan if there's no music!
Saw The Lion King, Loved it! Although there were a couple of moments where I could see some people would have problems with. Like no Mufasa reflection in the clouds,(If it was like a hidden Mickey, I missed it)and Timon singing "Be Our Guest" to distract the Hyenas.
Other than that, it was the same storyline, music, etc, which I expected. IDK why it got low numbers on Rotten Tomatoes, I think it's better than that.

This is wishful thinking, but I hope the new electrical parade might feature some lesser-known Disney characters or films. I enjoyed how Spectromagic gave some love to "Silly Symphonies" even if it's just "In Name Only" or the entire Fantasia section. I remember one of the older Tokyo Disneyland daytime parades had an entire section dedicated to various Silly Symphony cartoons.A night parade is all I want for the 50th so I hope you're able to find out more

Mulan vastly underperformed in Asia relative to a lot of the other Disney Renaissance films. Hua Mulan is a beloved folk hero in China, and audiences there did not take kindly to the ways in which Disney cute-d up the story. With the Chinese market so important, they've remade the story a bit closer to the Ballad of Mulan, the original source material.
Prob because people like me who don't follow movies on this site, just when movies gets into other threads, start to take notice?

Yes I suppose it is hard to be an informed individual when you're consistently having meltdowns over theme park entertainment.
And there are plenty of stories that have a musical and non-musical version, although, usually the non-musical version comes first.
Also: The Lion King gets hammered for being so much like the original, and now that a live-action version is coming out that takes a decidedly different direction, it gets hammered for not being like the original.

Sometimes, fanbases are, or appear to be, perennially complaining not just about minute details of the Canon, but about everything. This sometimes relates to fake fannishness: some people just don't like a piece of fiction, yet insist on …

I really like Mulan and was initially disappointed when I found out that there would be no music and no Mushu. The trailer has changed my mind though.

Is there an "official" D23 Expo thread somewhere? When I search for that in thread titles a number of threads come up but I can't figure out which one I should "watch" if any.

This one seems as "official" as you can get:

I think different fans are complaining. I prefer for the remakes to be like the originals. I loved the new BatB and Aladdin. The Lion King was just a bad movie that didn’t adequately utilize Beyoncé’s and Donald Glover’s talents and had nonsensical scenes like “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” in the sun. I’m far from unpleasable. I just don’t like garbage. I actually enjoy Toy Story Land, unlike many. Fast and Furious, on the other hand...And there are plenty of stories that have a musical and non-musical version, although, usually the non-musical version comes first.

We should pause this discussion until we see Mulan’s numbers in 7 months.
