I have only seen the trailer and not the film, but I was outraged at Jojo Rabbit. It is meant to be a satire about Nazis. Maybe it has a higher message, showing hope through adversity etc. Maybe.
But all I saw was someone finding comedy in Nazi atrocities. No one needs to be reminded that the Nazis were evil. Some horrible little person has just decided to make some money while pretending they are addressing a serious issue and educating viewers.

Makes it sound like a version of "The Producers" that wasn't played for laughs?

Far worse. It's about a kid in the Hitler Youth during the latter stages of the war. Jew hunts are comical disasters. He's got an imaginary friend: a bumbling, adorable Hitler. |

That sounds...rather morbid. And I’m unsure how big of a target market this show is intended to cater towards, let alone how much of it will actually be pleased with what they see. |

MULAN Trailer (2020) Disney Movie
I must admit I'm rather curious why Disney seems so eager to remake assorted cartoon films with 'real life' people? Looks from the trailer their still including at least some elements of fantasy so I'm not sure I see the point to it?

I think Mulan is also a movie that is being aimed at the very huge Chinese market. |

In which case I wonder if it would change the support of the imperial system that was displayed in the original cartoon? Or would Xi find that reassuring.  |

Knowing Disney they will release a Beijing approved version of the film. |

Knowing Disney they will release a Beijing approved version of the film. Given the PRC's presumably censorious standards, I'm unsure whether that's a good or a bad thing. I do, however, assume that you probably don't want us to get too deep into Chinese media regulation here. |

I'm surprised that no one seems to have shared it here yet. Nonetheless, I'm happy to be the first.
