Mulan: Disney drop character following #MeToo movement

Li Shang was voiced by BD Wong in the original 1998 film / DISNEY

 

A Disney producer says the character Li Shang is missing from the live-action remake of Mulan, as his storyline is not "appropriate" in the #MeToo era.

 

The film tells of a woman who disguises herself as a man to fight in place of her father in China's imperial army.

 

In the 1998 animated original, based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, General Li Shang developed a bond with Mulan's male warrior alter-ego Ping.

 

After her true identity was revealed, she and Li Shang have dinner together.

What has the metoo movement got to do with that. Character? Why don’t they just keep it as historically accurate as possible.

??? Now, I'm going to have to dig out the original and watch it to figure out what the heck they're talking about. Course, I won't be watching the live-action remake no matter what.
