We review all the details that are known about Raya and the last dragon, the new Disney animated film.
At the 2019 D23 Expo, Disney introduced the voice cast for its upcoming animated film: Stripe and the Last Dragon. This is tape 59 of the famous studios. Although the pandemic delayed its launch, as on other occasions when cinema has been in crisis, alternatives have been found to finish it and for its premiere.
Raya and the Last Dragon was directed by Paul Briggs and Dean Wellins in their directorial debut, from a screenplay by Adele Lim and starring the voices of Kelly Marie Tran and Awkwafina.
The synopsis for Raya and the Last Dragon reads:
Long ago, in the fantasy realm of Kumandra, humans, and dragons coexisted in harmony. But when mysterious and sinister creatures known as the Druun threatened the territory, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity, separating them into four tribes. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and Raya, a lone warrior, will have to find the last dragon to end the Druuns forever. However, throughout your epic adventure, you will understand that it takes more than just the magic of a dragon to save the world, you will also need trust.
An Asian Disney Princess
Disney recently released a short clip of Raya and the Last Dragon. In it you can see a moment of the heroine's journey to which she ventures to save her people. Kelly Marie Tran comments in the clip that she is excited for the premiere of this film because for the first time Disney will have a princess from Southeast Asia.
It is striking that Raya and the Last Dragon is full of action and martial arts. A bit different from what we can imagine with the label "Disney princess". Of course, the animation looks surprising. There is no doubt that studios have always been concerned to offer top-notch animation. This time with backgrounds, characters, and scenes that already promise a visually surprising film.
'Raya and the last dragon', changing the way of making films
As we said above, Raya and the last dragon had to look for alternatives for its development, as well as for its premiere. When it came to making them, the directors, animators, and other creative teams had to work from home. Due to the health situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, throughout 2020 about 400 people who make up the team of this next Disney film worked from home.
Raya and the Last Dragon, as is its English title, was scheduled to premiere in theaters on November 25, 2020. But, due to the circumstances that caused the pandemic, it was delayed to March 5, 2021.
On the other hand, Raya and the last dragon will be released in theaters, although access to theaters is restricted and in many parts of the world still impossible. So, as happened with Soul, the recent film from Pixar and Disney, which was also delayed due to the health situation, will come to Disney Plus.
Thus, Raya and the last dragon will premiere on March 5, 2021, on Mickey's streaming platform. That is, in ** Disney Plus. That, it is worth mentioning, has already been present in Latin America and the Caribbean since last November 2020.
