But here's the catch - Mulan won't be included in that subscription price, and viewers will instead have to fork out a premium fee to watch it.
In the UK, that price has been confirmed as £16.99.

“Masquerading as a man, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential.
“It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honoured warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation… and a proud father.”
When can I see it?
Mulan is available to stream from 4 September.
