At the heart of Disney’s live-action “Mulan” is the unflinching resilience of China and its people — a theme director Niki Caro feels is “particularly poignant right now” amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“At this difficult time, we hope that Mulan’s spirit continues to inspire around the world,” Caro said, sending love to China ahead of the screening at the film’s Los Angeles premiere Monday night at the Dolby Theatre. “You are a living testament to Mulan and … bring honor to us all.”
