Disney's Live-Action Mulan Is Just as Epic as the Original, but There Are a Few Differences

While the original film starts with Mulan as an adult, we get a closer look at her childhood in the new film. Unlike the original where Mulan has to learn to be a warrior, we learn that Mulan has actually been very skilled since a young age — her father notes that she has a strong chi, aka life force. However, since "chi is for warriors, not daughters," he tells her to suppress her gift for fear of what people might think.
