Have you heard? Disney’s live-action Mulan will arrive on Disney+ on September 4!
While we won’t get to appreciate Mulan on the big theater screen (at this time), I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to watch a NEW Disney movie from our home. Then again, we did just purchase a big backyard movie screen, so I suppose I’m getting a little closer to a wannabe theater experience!
How to Watch Mulan
While Mulan might be skipping the theatrical release, we should consider its debut to Disney+ on September 4 to be its “now showing in theaters” period.
In order to watch Mulan on September 4, you must have a Disney+ subscription. Additionally, you must purchase “premier access” for $29.99 to be able to stream Mulan before it’s available to all Disney+ subscribers (the date at which it will be available to all subscribers is currently unknown). It’s important to note, however, that unlike a movie rental that you might purchase in advance of a Blu-ray release that lasts for 48 hours, after purchasing premier access for Mulan, you will be able to stream and download the movie for as long as you have a Disney+ membership.
While you’ll have to make your own popcorn, movie quality should not be a concern, as Mulan will be available in UHD, HDR, and Dolby Audio. I’ll even venture to say that your couch may likely be more comfortable than the hard theater seating, too!

About Disney’s Live-Action Mulan
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. Mulan features a celebrated international cast that includes: Yifei Liu as Mulan; Donnie Yen as Commander Tung; Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan; Yoson An as Cheng Honghui; with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. The film is directed by Niki Caro from a screenplay by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Elizabeth Martin & Lauren Hynek based on the narrative poem “The Ballad of Mulan.”
