The teaser trailer has just be released a few days ago and there is already a ton of reaction videos of the Mulan teaser.
I myself have watched a ton of these reaction videos and I must say a majority of them are positive about it and the reviewers are looking forward to watch the movie when it is supposed to premier March next year.
The one common lament is would there be Mushu the dragon? Personally, I think that character would distract from the live-action movie of Mulan. It is not in the original legend of Mulan and would probably not endear itself to the China audience.
As it is, there already are grumblings that the trailer incorrectly portrayed Mulan as a southerner with that opening scene of the tulou ('earthen building), the communal Hakka residence in Southern Fujian province.
Here in Bolehland where Malaysian Chinese are often treated like second class citizens and now and then told to 'balik Tong San' (go back to China), face institutionalised discrimination in securing admissions to public universities and tertiary institutions even though they may have better academic results and are better qualified than others, and have little or stand no chance of securing a civil service position, some smart alecks calling themselves 'Di Sini' (A play on the word Disney - Di Sini means 'here' in the Malay language) have made an interesting Mulan parody - 'Si Milan' (the said Milan) - satirising their predicament.
Enjoy! Or not!
