One more Disney animation that highly influenced my family is Asian - Mulan.
Mulan encompasses the strength of a woman amidst patriarchal culture. Against all odds, the call of duty, for one's country will bring honor to the family.
For most Asians, life is serving the family.
Mulan comes spring of 2020. But here's the trailer exciting enough to keep you looking forward to another movie date.
When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, th...

Am gradually learning about Indians, too.

@eileenleyva I found Japanese very much close to their family values. I am not sure about Korea but rest of the Asian countries are very much family oriented.

Netflix has Mulan. You'll love it. The supporting characters might seem slapstick but really, Mulan's character is intense. All in all, the scenes and the music are enjoyable,

@LadyDuck Here's youtube. A little blurry though.
Fearful that her ailing father will be drafted into the Chinese military, Mulan takes his spot -- though, as a girl living under a patriarchal regime, she is...

Yes ! I have been waiting for this! I am still awaiting to watch Liu Yifei's acting . She has already given voices in Mulan animation character I guess. She is also widely known as "Fairy Sister". Hope it will turn out good one

@psanasangma The King's Woman is on you tube,. Looks interesting enough but series are time consuming. I don't have the luxury of time.
One day perhaps, will keep this love story in mind. Thanks for telling.

The trailer is terse but the magnificence of the movie can be seen.
I haven't watched Fairy Sister. Will search and check on the acting, too.,

Though women bear the burnt in all culture and countries definitely the expectations from an Asian woman is way too much in a traditional society. They are really strong to stay up to expectations but definitely go through a lot of personal sufferings. But glad that in recent times many are coming forward bringing a perfect balance between the tradition and personal choices. Mulan sounds like an interesting character and a strong one. I will wait to watch it with my daughters.

An in-depth perception on the woman. I agree absolutely. Women, in all facets of society, has constantly made the difference.
My daughters are also pretty excited. Will watch with them, too, though one will be out of the country by spring next year.
Daughters do bloom in time.

You are right they bloom in no time.

Yup. I don't know why they have to delay the showing. Perhaps a marketing strategy.

@lin0775 Sorry, video games are not my thing, I do not know about that Call of Duty.
I take that great thing as compliment. Thank you very much.

The animation now belongs to the classics. Loved it very much. The live-action version must be more exciting. Now we see Mulan the legend as a real person.
