Mulan is an American film directed by Niki Caro, released in 2020. It is a live action remake of the Disney studios animated film Mulan released in 1998, itself inspired by the legendary Chinese character, Hua Mulan. The film is part of a desire by Walt Disney Pictures to adapt its animated films into live action films, like The Jungle Book (2016), Beauty and the Beast (2017), Aladdin (2019), or Dumbo (2019). It is also an opportunity for Disney to experiment with a radical change of strategy by canceling, in a context marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the migration of its activities to its Disney + platform, a theatrical release that has been planned for a long time. , where its video-on-demand services are available. This decision is unprecedented for a Disney film of such a budget and creates, in the countries concerned, including France, a strong emotion among theater operators as well as questions about the strategy.
