With the studio rumored to be contemplating a Disney+ drop of the Pixar film Soul, it feels like that particular move would be the stopgap leading to both of Disney’s live-action films with big practical components and gigantic production/marketing budgets being kept in theatrical rotation.
That, on top of the previously mentioned financial strife on Disney’s bottom line, means that this potentally important live-action remake isn’t going anywhere, except to the big screen.
Mulan is another one of those titles that, just as critics were digging in for coverage and the world was about to see the goods for themselves, the doors of theaters were shut.
