Though at first, she may seem to be the simplest of characters, Raya may be the most complex in the visual representation of her emotional states. Luckily these mesh seamlessly with the inventive character designs. Viewers will be initially stunned by the eye-popping visual delights on display, from the cool blues of Benja’s palace (loved the water running up the stairs) to the warm deserts of Fang, each of the background designs is worthy of a gallery display (or a lush “coffee-table hardcover collection). Once again the formidable talents at the Disney Animation Division “step up their game” in a spirited competition with their sister studios in which the winner, or winners, are the lucky lovers of superb, superior cinematic storytelling.

But even with the help of the last dragon, and a motley crew recruited from each land, can she defeat the Drunn and be reunited with her beloved papa? Several years later, the now-teenage Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) roams the land on her pet Tuk Tuk (a weird armadillo, pill bug, bear mix), searching for the pieces and hoping to find Sisu.

It also brings back the Drunn who turn Benja into stone. The resulting struggle shatters the orb into several pieces, each scooped up by different countries. Unfortunately many believe that the orb has gifted Heart with prosperity (rich crops, good soil, etc.) which inspires an act of deception that reveals the orb’s location. But Benja has a dream to unite the five lands into Kumandra, once more, and so invites people from the other four lands for a discussion. Its main guard and Heart’s leader is General Benja (voice of Daniel Dae Kim) who is training his young daughter Raya as a protector.

In tribute to their rescuers, the land was divided into five countries, each named after a part of the dragons: Tail, Talon, Spine, Fang, and Heart, where the orb is hidden and guarded. But there was not enough magic to save her dragon family and Sisu went into hiding. Their lone survivor Sisu used the orb to banish them and return the statutes of the villagers to life. Ultimately the Drunn turned all but one of the dragons to stone. Luckily their dragon protectors came to the rescue by pooling their magic auras into a small round blue-glowing orb. The story actually begins 500 years before, when some demonic creatures known as the Drunn (whirling magenta-colored storm clouds) attacked the villagers, absorbing souls and turning the people to stone. While the Pixar products of last year were wowing critics and audiences (ONWARD and SOUL should both get Oscar noms, with the latter being the front runner for Animated Feature and Music Score), the Disney Animation artisans were crafting this fantasy fable from a far-off land all about RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON.Īnd just what is that far-off place? Why the Asia-inspired land known as Kumandra, or really formally “known as”. Now to be clear, this is from the Disney Animation division, a separate entity from the Pixar people, though they’re all “under the same tent” (and with the acquisition of Fox they’re joined by Blue Sky). Of course, this one uses the latest tech to give us its fully rounded heroes, villains, and magical critters. Speaking of mice, the “mouse house” strikes back today with a feature that harkens back to those iconic full-length fairy tales and fables from their golden age. And last weekend saw the big-screen return of the chaos-causing cat and mouse TOM AND JERRY careening through the canyons of the Big Apple, and filling up movie theatres while streaming for a few weeks on HBO Max. First was the pixel-powered furball at the center of FLORA & ULYSSES, streaming on Disney+. The last couple of them were live-action/animation hybrids with rendered (CGI and some classic hand-drawn) characters interacting with flesh-and-blood actors. We’re still a few weeks away from the big Spring break (even with the past year’s at-home learning it’s still a big deal), but the major film studios aren’t holding back their big “family-friendly” flicks for virtual and in-theatres (welcome back NYC and LA) viewing.
