The Live-Action Mulan Has An Infuriating Difference

<div><p>If you were getting excited about Disney's live-action remake of <em>Mulan, </em>I have some terrible news for you. </p><p>It's been revealed that the study producing Mulan was dumb enough to decide to make the move NOT A MUSICAL. </p><p>"Yes, from what I understand, no songs right now, much to the horror of my children," said director Niki Caro. </p><p>Well maybe your clearly-smarter-than-you children should make the movie then, huh?</p><p>HOW IS MULAN SUPPOSED TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS TO DEFEAT THE HUNS?</p><div><figure><amp-anim src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/03/giphy-7.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Giphy</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_incontent _1"> </div><p></p><p>To make matters even worse Li Shang, Mulan's love interest, won't even be in the movie.

"It will be extremely muscular and thrilling and entertaining and moving."</p><p>This movie is going to hell in a handbasket and it hasn't even STARTED yet! <em>Beauty and the Beast</em> just totally crushed it at the box office and do you know why? Because it sticks to the classic story. No one is asking you to remake the Disney movies because they want a new story. It's because they want to add that more realistic feel to an already perfect masterpiece. </p><div><figure><amp-anim src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/03/tumblr_makcxowJyJ1rfsim9o1_500.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Tumblr</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_video"> </div><p></p><p>To say people are upset is like saying Emma Watson was only okay as Belle.
