The remake has been included in the regular subscription since December 4th.

According to the streaming service, it can be used as long as the respective subscription exists.
If you cancel your subscription, you also lose access to the film.
If you decide to subscribe again later, the film has to be bought again separately.
However, it is also possible that the film will appear in the regular Disney + range at some point, as in this case.

In doing so, she becomes a warrior legend herself.
Actress Liu Yifei takes on the leading role in Disney's "Mulan"; other roles include Yoson An, Gong Li, Donnie Yen and Jason Scott Lee.

Film fans may know the plot of "Mulan" not only from the Disney cartoon, but also from the 2009 film "Mulan - Legend of a Warrior".
This does not come from the Disney group, but is a Chinese production by the director Jingle Ma.
"Mulan" release postponed again and again
The film was shot from August to November 2018 in China and New Zealand.
The official film start was originally planned for November 2, 2018 - but the date was postponed to March 2020. Then, however, the coronavirus intervened - and so the film start was repeatedly postponed until the decision was made to open it in some countries (including USA, Canada and Germany) to be shown on Disney +.
