Mulan will debut on Disney+ Sept. 4 with one beloved character missing. Here's why you won't see Eddie Murphy's Mushu in the Mulan live action remake.

Mushu, Mulan’s self-appointed guardian from the 1998 animated classic, is nowhere to be found in the remake’s trailer.

Now, as much as I would like to see the return of Mushu and cricket in the remake, it’s important to understand the movie that director Niki Caro is trying to make.
