The live action Mulan remake is out now on Disney+, but this isn't a traditional release like we've seen with other movies on the service like Onward, Hamilton, and Frozen 2. Instead, simply having a Disney+ subscription won't get you access--at least not immediately. If you're interested in watching Mulan this weekend on the couch with your loved ones, here's what you need to know.
Before you watch, you may want to read our Mulan review. Though Mulan is a stylish remake of an animated classic, the story stumbles and loses its charm in its move to live-action.
Of course, this price is on top of the price of your Disney+ subscription ($7 per month). Disney+ doesn't currently have a free trial, so you will have to pay for at least a month to watch Mulan if you aren't already a subscriber. This would essentially raise your cost to $37 if you're only interested in Disney+ due to Mulan.
If you're watching with a few family members, you could consider it as a more cost-efficient trip to the movies without actually going to the theater.

That said, this model does make Mulan fall somewhere between a rental and a purchase-to-own digital release--and a very pricey one at that. Other movies that skipped theatrical releases in the US due to the current pandemic have been priced as high as $20 for digital rentals, but we've never seen $30. The fact that you also need a Disney+ subscription to watch makes it by far the priciest home digital release we've seen.
