* AnachronismStew: All over the place in the trailer. The Tulou structures in the trailer were built from the 12th century onward. The story of Mulan took place between the 4th to 6th centuries. The structures only exist in the Fujian province of South-Eastern China, which is as far removed from the North as one can imagine, yet the Huns are somehow close by. The last time a Nomadic army marched down south, they done so with an actual Chinese army, on foot, because cavalry is unsuitable in the south of China. Unless Mulan is drafted North, but that's difficult to believe since China was divided between North & South during that time. Furthermore, in one of the shots there also features what is apparently Tang Dynasty makeup, but said dynasty existed from the 7th to 10th century. All in all, it would appear the movie doesn't know 'when' it wants to be.
