Mulan Is Coming To Disney+ Next Week

Fans have been anticipating the release of Mulan for some time now - but there's not too much longer to wait until fans can watch the live-action remake of the hit Disney movie on their screens.

Mulan was originally expected to hit the big screen on 27th March, but was unfortunately pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, Disney revealed that instead of a cinema release, the film would be going straight to Disney+ from 4th September. That's next week!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be available to watch from a variety of countries including Australia, the US, Canada, New Zealand, and many other Western European countries.

Meanwhile, those not screening the film on Disney+ will see it land in cinemas as planned.

Fans hoping to watch the movie will be required to sign up to the subscription service (costing £5.99 per month) and make a one-off payment of £19.99 to watch Mulan. It's then yours to watch however many times you want.

On the exciting news, Deadline report Disney CEO Bob Chapek said: "We're pleased to bring Mulan to a consumer base that's been waiting for it as we've had to move our (release) dates several times."

The film, starring Liu Yifei, is said to have had a $200 million (£159 million) budget, and according to reviews from the premiere it is not set to disappoint.

One critic said: "I've seen Mulan twice now and I must say it is great. Easily Disney's best live action reboot.

"I think it's also Disney's first battle epic? It is beautiful & absorbing & rich & empowering. The cast is excellent and Niki Caro's direction is just breathtaking."

While another said: "#Mulan is absolutely fantastic. Different enough with great action scenes, but with the heart of the original film.

"It doesn't even matter that it's not a musical. If you're a fan of the animated, there are subtle nods to many of the songs. Can't wait to see this again."

Sounds worth the £20? We think so.

Remember to mark the date: 4th September.
