Everything about that was puzzling. They changed the story supposedly to be more culturally accurate, but what they came up with wasn't culturally accurate at all. How did that happen?

Besides, when Chinese people want a culturally accurate Mulan, they watch one of the many Chinese-made adaptions of the story. The animated was appealing because it was a fresh take, a Disney musical that Chinese could relate to. The remake was just a huge miscalculation.

But the animation flopped in China. Mainly because it felt foreign for the Chinese. They even found Mulan’s design too westernized. That’s why Disney thought they had to make a different Mulan story.

I'm surprised to hear that. When I was in China in the early 2010s I saw it played all the time.
