    Technically, it is the Disney's Mulan's plot. If you get what I mean. There is a Disney Mulan original and a Ballad of Mulan original (such is the power of Disney huh)

    This is really funny because it turns out she is an American-Chinese Actress and her nationality is American according to Wikipedia.

    So why can't she act in English?

    If they can make her pass as a dude, then I would thereby declare Disney's make-up artists as the world's best, bar none. :blobsalute:

    For the same exact reason, actresses like Fan Bingbing and Angelababy are also out. They're too feminine. Personally, I think someone like Amber Liu would be the best choice. She's not an actress, but I mean, that type, if you catch my drift.

    Yes! Literally my thoughts - better get ready to pull out that make-up kit to make Liu Yifei as manly as possible!!!
    Amber Liu would be totally convincing as Mulan (when she's in the army),(but have you seen Amber trying to act girly? ahahaha)

    I haven't seen "Return of the Condor Heroes" so if you have a link to it(w/ English subtitles please). Please tell me. And that movie seems to be more than ten years ago so I don't know how her acting is right now.

    There is already a live action of it and it should be Mainland China
    Has Taiwan produced any historic dramas? I know they are crazy expensive
    A Live action Chinese movie should also exist
    This is just a Western Adaptation but I doubt how Western it will be with the move The Wall that was supposed to be Chinese
    but felt like some Alien invasion shit with white men coming to save them
    I am betting Mulan will be set in China but the royal family will be Hispanic haha

    I watched it by DVD back in 2006 (I was in primary school OMG), but you should be able to watch it just fine here: http://kissasian.ch/Drama/Return-of-the-Condor-Heroes-2006
    Also - do keep in mind that as it is a 2006 series, the CGI can be pretty cringe at times ahahaha

    Didn't see this, so I have to double post to clarify: Her English is pretty good (as in it's grammatically correct), but accented. Which is why I said it'd be awkward, because if they make her act in English, that'd be for the entire movie - she won't be changing to Chinese partway. Plus, actors usually find it difficult to act in an unfamiliar language.

    Still, this is based on what I see years ago. She might've improved.

    Edit: Aaand, it turns out I didn't actually double-post. Nice.

    Just searched Liu Yifei. She really look feminine

    How can you make her look like a man. If I were someone from the ancient times, One look at her makes me think she's a woman through and through.

    I think the makeup team will have a headache in trying to make her look like a man. Maybe, the most that they can do is make her look androgynous.

    Disney is bigger than you think eg Pretty Woman then again maybe there was some singing lol.
    Disney is synonymous with Happy Endings.
    The original stories of Fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm eg Rapunzel and Snow White all had tragic endings if I remember correctly

    She's around 30 - but she could definitely pass as much younger!

    Hmph! Celebrities and their age misleading appearance make me think they are involved in some black magic.

    There is a live action Mulan ,done in 2009, and personally i think it was amazing. IDK about the disney remake though, they have not succeeded in any live action remakes so far.
