Raya and the Last Dragon is Disney’s animated fantasy film about a princess in search of a dragon that can help her save her people.
I thought that the plot was interesting and easy to follow. The story did a good job being relatable to kids as well as adults. There were wonderful themes, which were prevalent throughout, around family, forgiveness and having faith in yourself was well as others.
Although a good chunk of the characters were one dimensional there was strong character development for Raya so it was easy to root for her. I also enjoyed seeing strong female characters that were leaders. Some of the character voices I didn't recognize at first, but it turned out there were famous actors like Gemma Chan as Namaari, Benedict Wong as Tong, and Sandra Oh as Virana, who did a really nice job bringing this fantasy to life.
As always, this was yet another great Disney action adventure film highlighting diversity and female empowerment. Although a bit predictable, it still managed to have me tearing up a bit at the end. If you are looking for an enjoyable family friendly ride, this one might be for you.
