This first teaser trailer for the live action Mulan ain’t bad y’all. Yes I’m still tetchy about the possibility of swapping dragon Mushu with a phoenix, and Disney booting all the singing (OH COME ON)…

But I’m definitely here for the gorgeous wide shots of training warriors. And, of course, Gong Li as Mulan’s mother, because Li is perfection.

Give it a look – I’m still grumpy over the proposed changes, but I have to admit I’m impressed as hell with this teaser. Mulan hits theaters next year.
