Disney has hit the box office jackpot thanks with its scene-for-scene live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.

But the film company appears to have given the director making the live-action remake of Mulan a bit more creative license, and fans haven't been shy about sharing their outrage over plans for the film.

In the last week, fans have learned that the new movie will break significantly from the original, by cutting its iconic songs and possibly replacing the romantic lead.

In the past week, fans of Mulan have learned that the live-action remake (to be directed by Niki Caro, right) will differ significantly from the film

Like the original, the film will tell the story of legendary Chinese warrior Hua Mulan, who is said to have taken her aging father's place in the military and became a highly-respected soldier.

Director Niki Caro, who has been signed onto the project, told Moviefone on March 17 that the film will be a 'big, girlie martial arts epic'.

'It will be extremely muscular and thrilling and entertaining and moving,' Caro promised.

Caro said last week that she isn't planning to include the film's music in the remake. Above, one fan's reaction to the news

Following the news about the film's music, a casting sheet started circulating online, suggesting that the romantic lead, Li Shang, would be replaced. Above, another fan's reaction

Fans were quick to share their displeasure at the plans for the remake on Twitter

But fans became furious after Caro announced her plans to cut the movie's songs - including hits like 'Reflection' and 'I'll Make a Man out of You.

'From what I understand, no songs right now, much to the horror of my children,' Caro said.

Then, two days later, a casting sheet started circulating around online, revealing that Mulan's love interest, Li Shang, would be replaced by another Chinese soldier figure, Chun Honghui.

Honghui will reportedly be Mulan's nemesis throughout the movie, until it's revealed that she is really a woman - at which point he will start to fall for her.

Fans pointed out that part of the reason that they liked the character of Li Shang was that he developed feelings for Mulan before he knew she was a woman - hinting at possible bisexuality.

Following the announcements, fans have been taking to Twitter to share their concerns.

'If Li Shang isn't singing "I'll make a man out of you" is it really Mulan???' one user asked.

Another added: 'Cinderella's live action was good but wasn't so raved upon unlike Beauty & the Beast. Why? Because music gives life to Disney films, life. Learn, Mulan.'
