Mulan's Director and Rey's Hair - The Disney Movie Review 120

This week Disney names a female director for the live-action version of Mulan and I could not be happier. Daisy Ridley sports a new hairstyle that brings out more theories on who Rey’s parents could be. Plus, Disney raised and lowered ticket prices at their theme parks but that was overshadowed by protests over Bob Iger and Donald Trump. That and much, much more. For the week of Feb 20, 2017 this is Episode 120 of the Disney Movie Review.

Check out these two articles to learn more about Mulan's director, Niki Caro
