Most expensive Disney film shot in 2018.Caro says she was drawn to the Mulan project because of thematic similarities to her 2002 breakthrough film The Whale Rider — which follows a twelve-year-old Māori girl whose ambition is to become the chief of her traditionally male-lead tribe — as well as a burning desire to "play in the big sandpit" of a Disney tentpole production. With an estimated budget of $290 million to $300 million, Mulan was the most expensive film shot by Disney last year.
