While partaking in my weekly scour of Huffington Post, in which I look for interesting and current articles on Disney, I came across this article and couldn't be more excited. Disney on 10/04/16 announced that they will be creating a live-action remake of 'Mulan', arguably my favorite Disney product of all time. While Disney has announce its intent on hiring a Chinese lead to play Mulan, I really hope Disney uses this as an opportunity to correct some of their mistakes they made when creating the original 'Mulan'. By mistakes, I mean cultural appropriation and gendered messages. Time will tell if Disney fixes these mistakes, but until then I will try to patiently wait.
