The trailer for the latest in the Disney live-action remake series, “Mulan,” dropped last week, and it looks fantastic. I’ve never been fully on board for these remakes of animated movies, but I think this one’s going to be awesome.
The animated Mulan came out in 1998, and it’s one of my favorites. Strong female character, good songs, and the action sequences are pretty boss.
But there’s one main reason I’ll rewatch it over and over: Of all the Disney animated classic sidekicks, Mushu reigns supreme.
If there was an Oscar for vocal performance, it would have gone to Eddie Murphy that year: “Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!”
Can’t wait to see the new “Mulan,” which comes out March 27, 2020. In the meantime, try your skills on this trivia set about the ’98 animated original.
