When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Chinese Army to defend the country from Huns, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. She is spirited, determined and quick on her feet. Disguised as a man by the name of Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her innermost strength and embrace her true potential.

'Mulan' has mixed reception. Positive reviews highlight stunning visuals, strong acting, and cultural authenticity. Critics praise Liu Yifei's performance and the film's attempt to stay true to the original story. However, many negative reviews point out the lack of emotional depth, weak storytelling, and departure from the original animated film's charm and humor. Some viewers are disappointed by the absence of iconic elements like songs and Mushu. The film's pacing, action sequences, and character development also receive criticism.
