Who is Liu Yifei? A closer look at Disney's controversial Mulan

Disney's live-action take on 'Mulan' has generated quite the buzz—good and bad. While some had qualms about the lack of music and Mushu, others praised it for its artistry, and many more bickered over its historical and cultural accuracy. Overall, however, people were still generally excited to see it.

That is, until #BoycottMulan shot up the Twitter trends and Chinese-American actress Liu Yifei, who plays the starring role, became the target for a wave of worldwide criticism.

Now the film can be rented on Disney+ and you can make your own decisions about the movie.
