The first reactions to Disney’s new live-action remake, Mulan, are in – and they are overwhelmingly positive.

Fans had previously voiced concerns about the new version which, unlike the 1998 animated original, is not a musical and does not feature popular characters Mushu and Li Shang.

However, fans and members of the press who were present at the movie’s world premiere on Monday night (9 March) have now shared their praise on Twitter, applauding the actors’ performances, Niki Caro’s direction and the battle sequences.

“I’ve seen Mulan twice now and I must say it is grrrreat,” wrote one Twitter user. “Easily Disney’s best live action reboot. I think it’s also Disney’s first battle epic? It is beautiful & absorbing & rich & empowering. The cast is excellent and Niki Caro’s direction is just breathtaking.”
