You can now rent Mulan on Disney Plus.
Walt Disney Studios
Disney’s new live-action version of Mulan is now streaming on Disney Plus, but you’ll need more than just a subscription to watch the hotly anticipated film. Disney’s remake of the animated 1998 hit will cost you an extra $30 on top of your new or existing subscription. Keep scrolling for all the details you need to know to watch.
If you don’t want to shell out an extra $30 fee, Mulan will be available for free to all Disney Plus subscribers starting Dec. 4, but that’s a three-month wait for fans, many of whom have been excitedly waiting to check out the update to this time-honored warrior tale about personal grit, family bonds and overcoming impossible odds.
Both Disney films are based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan and follow a young woman in China who poses as a man in order to take her father’s place in the war against the Huns. In the live-action film, helmed by director Niki Caro, Yifei Liu plays the title role. Unlike the G-rated animated musical, Mulan for 2020 is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and is a more realistic telling. Critics have described the new film as exciting, vibrant and emotional.
