9. Mulan (2020)
Mulan was done so dirty by the timing of its August 2020 release; remember that whole “even Disney+ subscribers will have to pay extra” strategy? It’s the first Disney heroine canon film to be directed by a woman, Niki Caro—who really captured the correct perspective in handling the story of Mulan. Filled with dynamic action, the film kept true to the spirit of the legend of Fa Mulan while still sprinkling in some of the favorite plot points from the beloved animated feature.
