Overview - Disney's most recent animated experience is Raya and the Last Dragon. The film is the subsequent one delivered to the Disney+ after Mulan. The new film has ravishing visuals with Southeast Asian impacts that recount the tale of a world desolated, with a young lady as their solitary expectation. The film is a romping experience loaded up with bright characters, energizing battle sequences, a marvelous heroine and a convenient directive for us every one of us.
The story happens in the dreamland of Kumandra, where some time in the past mythical dragons resided among people calmly. Everything was well for a period, until beasts undermined the land, however the mythical serpents and people also.

At the point when an assault on the land prompts the arrival of the Druun, it boils down to Raya as a warrior. Her solitary expectation is to find the last mythical beast. At the point when she discovers her, Sisu (Awkwafina) isn't what she anticipated. Simultaneously, a companionship starts, one that will be important to make all the difference.

Chan's foe demonstrates an unpredictable and layered adversary, intently reflecting Raya with her affection for mythical beasts and inspirations to ensure her kin. Awkwafina brings her astounding comedic timing to the loveable water winged serpent Sisu, offering a fabulous dynamic to Tran's Raya. Benedict Wong's blunt yet loveable hatchet using hero Tong is an astonishing scene stealer as well.

This mix of Asian culture and uplifted activity seems to flaunt a solid impact from ongoing Chinese enlivened movies like Ne Zha, it isn't hard to envision Disney is focusing on the conceivably rewarding Chinese market and giving different watchers a new point simultaneously.
