Disney premieres live-action Mulan trailer at D23 Expo in LA

LOS ANGELES - With the live-action feature version of Disney's Mulan slated for release in March, the official trailer has been screened to an appreciative audience. Its director Niki Caro and Disney executives discussed the film at the company's D23 Expo last weekend.

The blockbuster, starring Liu Yifei in the lead role, is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan and is a live-action remake of Disney's 1998 animated film of the same name.

Mulan, a beautiful, spirited young woman seeking to spare the life of her ailing father, disguises herself as a man to go to war in his place. Smart, brave and determined, she flouts tradition to embrace her true potential, blazing a courageous trail in the fight against the enemy.
