    Eh.. It's not like it was a Disney original story anyway. I'd only really have an issue, if it was a direct adaption of the Disney-fied story, and not a more authentic version of the story.

    Not really, no. Which means the only thing that separates this from the dozens of other movies that share a common lineage with a Disney movie is that Disney itself is putting it out.

    The 'authentic version' is just poem about 70 lines long when translated into english, and the Disney adaption added things like Mushu, comic relief, singing but didnt take out anything important from the original (just the fact she bought the horse and has a younger brother and an older sister, Also Chinese music never sounds that good.).

    I dont think there would be an adaption of Mulan (and there are quite a few adaptions of Mulan already) that is faithul to the 'authentic version' since theres so little content, unless they pad it out with fight scenes (which would be awesome if it was well coreographed) most of it will be fluff by other writers.

    Toy Story, Fantasia, and Finding Nemo weren't based off anything prior were they?

    I am against this live-action remaking nonsense. How will it be better with a live-action cast? Can they do things cartoon characters can't? Unlikely.

    Toy Story was only distributed by Disney. The guy who came up with the idea was from Pixar and made a similar movie back in 1988 called Tin Toy.

    Finding Nemo was released under Walt Disney Pictures but had zero to do with the movie itself. Pixar wrote and produced it.

    Fantasia is basically a two hour music video and not a story. On that note most of the music used was written by composers years beforehand.

    Finding Nemo was actually based on true events.
