Mulan, the movie

We leave the expected end remake of "Mulan" in real images, since Disney has taken it easy and although the premiere was planned for November 2018, it is likely to be delayed until 2019. We will be attentive!

And for the older ones ...

Good because they need the parental guidance to understand the film, well because the age classification is not yet clear, here we summarize others interesting releases for older children in 2018:

  • "White Fang", White Fang. The premiere of this 3-D animated film is planned for April 2018, based on the Jack London classic. It is the story of a wolf dog in Canadian places, from the hard beginnings, turning him into a fierce dog, until the idyllic end finding peace with a family.

  • "Solo: A Star Wars Story". The movie about Han Solo, scheduled for May 2018. A spin-off that fans of the Star Wars saga are waiting for. He will count the exploits and adventures of Han Solo as a smuggler, delving into his character, before meeting Luke Skywalker in 'Star Wars: Episode IV'.

  • "Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom" ('Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'). They are not exactly endearing dinosaurs for babies, but we already know how the Jurassic World saga works and they have many followers among older children (and their parents, of course). We remember that the previous film, "Jurassic World", was rated by ages +13. What will bring us this new movie, the debut with a Hollywood blockbuster by J.A. Bayonne?

Four years ago the theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of control. Isla Nublar has been abandoned by men and dinosaurs survive as they can in the jungle. When the volcano on the island that was inactive erupts, Owen and Claire put in place a plan to protect the dinosaurs from extinction. Owen is dedicated to finding Blue, the raptor he raised and is missing in the jungle, and Claire, who has learned to respect these creatures, is willing to fulfill his mission. When they arrive on the island, already unstable due to the eruption of the volcano, they discover a conspiracy that could turn our planet into a place with immense danger not seen since prehistoric times.

  • "The jungle book: the origins": This adaptation in real image of the Warner of Ruyard Kipling's work has several delays behind him. It seems that it will finally be released in October 2018, but what seems clear is that it is not a movie "for children of five years": the director has wanted to separate his version from that of Disney and points out that this is much darker and closer To the real story.

  • "Fanatic animals: the crimes of Grindelwald". The premiere of the sequel to "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" is expected for November, practically two years after the first installment. A film highly anticipated by the followers of the Harry Potter universe, with a script by its author, JK Rowling and probably one of Warner's most sagas (in the United States the age classification of the first part was +13, while in Spain remained at +7).
