Live-action version of Disney's 'Mulan' to hit theaters in 2018

Walt Disney Studios is returning to its storied vault yet again to adapt one of its popular animated titles into a live-action movie. On Tuesday, the studio announced that it would release a new version of "Mulan," a musical about a young woman who disguises herself as a man so she can enlist in the army. The original film, which was released in 1998, grossed 304 million worldwide. Disney has begun to transform a number of its beloved cartoons into live-action films over the past few years. Both the princess tales "Maleficent" and "Cinderella" clicked with audiences, and a remake of musical "The Jungle Book" was a massive hit, collecting nearly a billion dollars worldwide earlier this year.
