Who would have thought that the biggest Asian-American Hollywood reunion would take place in a Disney show? Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Yuan, James Hong—American Born Chinese is the star-studded Everything Everyone All At Once sequel that we didn’t know we needed.
American Born Chinese, which is now streaming on Disney+, is an action comedy TV series that follows two teenagers whose lives are interrupted by mythical Chinese gods. The show feels like a homage to Chinese-American culture, Asian representation in Hollywood, and the Asian-American experience.
Although the show is geared toward a younger audience, that didn’t stop Disney from bringing in some of the biggest Asian-American names in Hollywood. These cameos and appearances might fly over the heads of youngsters, but the adult supervision will have no trouble pointing them out.
