Mulan 2020: Disney's First PG-13

With Disney's seeming desire to remake everything in its vaults continuing full steam ahead, I sometimes find myself wondering:

Other than the strong (and needed) message concerning female power and equality, particularly as we come out of the era of Weinstein and Cosby. will the 2020 version of Mulan resonate with today's 7-to-12-year-old audiences? Especially as the more movie and pop culture savvy among them figure out that Mulan is a remake of a 1998 Disney animated film?





And since Mulan is the Mouse House's first film to be rated PG-13 by the MPAA, what does that mean for the requisite battle scenes in the film? Peter Jackson got away with severed heads on spikes in his Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

I don't expect to see severed heads in Mulan. But it will certainly be interesting to see when it hits theatres on July 24.
