China Toons Up Mulan Series
With many in China unhappy with the Disney-fied version of MULAN, Jiang Tong Animation Co. Ltd. (JTAC) is in works on a 52-episode series based on the famed Chinese fable, reports newKerala.com.
HUA MULAN will be based directly on the Chinese ancient poem titled, "Mu Lan Ci," which was written between 420-581. The poem tells the story of the courageous Chinese girl who dressed up as a man so she could take the place of her aged father in battle.
Zhu Youlan, ceo of the JTAC, said the new version will focus the story on the heroine against a Chinese backdrop unlike Disney's MULAN, which focused more on individual heroism.
