EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

I love all of the surprise character art hidden throughout the World Showcase during the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This scene of Mushu and CriKee from 2019 may be my favorite.

A Girl Worth Fighting For - Mulan

Mulan Music

I haven't watched Mulan in ages, but this song has been stuck in my head for days, so I thought I'd share.

EPCOT's Harmonious Looks Quite Beautiful

EPCOT Harmonious
Disney

The next nighttime show to arrive at EPCOT will be "Harmonious." The show blends projections, music, and fireworks into a world celebration spectacular. The description from Disney sounds amazing:

The show moves through three distinct chapters, inviting us to gather on the shores of World Showcase Lagoon, celebrate the countries and cultures of the world, and ultimately unite to create a bright tomorrow. “Harmonious” begins with a sunrise, and as the world awakens around us, we set out on a journey that takes us across the globe. It’s a dazzling and diverse feast for the eyes and ears, from the South Pacific home of “Moana” and a Middle-Eastern interpretation of “Aladdin” to “The Jungle Book” in India, China’s legend of “Mulan,” the European nations that inspired “Brave” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and so much more.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at this beautiful new show.


"Harmonious" makes its debut on October 1, 2021, just in time for Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration

Christina Aguilera Revisits "Reflection"

Disney
In 1998, Christina Aguilera released her first single, "Reflection", as part of the original Mulan soundtrack. Just in time for the DisneyPlus release of the new live-action Mulan, she has revisited the song with a new music video.


Disney's Mulan arrives on DisneyPlus this Friday, though with a $29.99 price tag. If you'd prefer to wait for the movie to become part of the regular DisneyPlus lineup, it's scheduled for release on December 4.

The Final Mulan Trailer Is Here

Disney
With Mulan coming to DisneyPlus soon, Disney has released one final trailer for the film. It really does look incredible!



And, starting today, guests at Hollywood Studios will have the chance to see a sneak peek of the film in the Walt Disney Presents theater. Outside the theater, the witch's costume that was used in the movie and a reproduction warrior costume and sword will be on display. For even more Mulan fun, download and print an activity book created in partnership with with Disney's Animals, Science, and Environment team.

The New Mulan Song By Christina Aguilera Is Wonderful

The first song from the upcoming live-action Mulan has finally arrived. "Loyal Brave True", performed by Christina Aguilera, is truly wonderful.


The title for the song comes from Mulan's father describing his daughter and her actions to the ancestors.

Six New Mulan Posters and A New Trailer Are Here!

Disney released a fantastic new set of character posters for Mulan over the weekend. Each poster features one of the main characters holding a reflective surface bearing the face of Mulan. Its a  rather cool nod to the song "Reflection" from the animated film. Above is Yifei Liu as Hua Mulan.

Disney also released another trailer for the film. The look of this movie is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see it when it arrives in theaters on March 27.


In case you'd like to know a little more about this new take on an ancient story, here's the official synopsis from Disney:

When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.
