      There's a weird mix of cowardice and arrogance that went into NuLan Like they just decided rather than have any new ideas they would do a rote imitation of cliches from Chinese wuxia cinema But they decided this would be so easy they didn't need any Chinese people's helphttps://twitter.com/alexanderchee/status/1302997428531060738 …

      For everything that was possibly cringey about Old Mulan (Mushu etc) at least it had heart It was an actual quality Disney movie they made for the sake of making a good movie and not just trying to "tap the Chinese market"

      And there was one Asian writer on that screenplay (Rita Hsiao)

      I dunno, I don't think Kung Fu Panda was perfect (it was another all white team) but everyone remembers how it was a surprise huge hit in China At a time when everyone expected a "DreamWorks martial arts cartoon" to be a culturally offensive embarrassing flop

      And the explanation is just that it had heart, they cared It was clearly made by people who'd watched a lot of Hong Kong kung fu movies and knew all the tropes but also had their own, specific story they wanted to tell with them, one they actually cared about

      And it was still very recognizably a "DreamWorks film", with the standard goofy DreamWorks humor, if toned down slightly from something like a Shrek sequel And that's what the Chinese audience responded to - not somehow being fooled it was a Chinese movie

      An American movie made in a genre where America is the market leader - CGI cartoon children's comedies - but one that shows interest in and respect for Chinese culture

          This thing where Disney is trying to incompetently ape everyone else's style of movie to sell their own movies - Aladdin trying to be an ersatz Bollywood dance musical, Mulan trying to be a wuxia epic - is not gonna work out

          They already reached the nadir of this concept with the "live-action Lion King", where they tried to shoot it like an actual nature documentary, in the face of all reason
