This was another movie that was delayed from the 2020 movie season because of COVID-19. It then got the death sentences of going on Disney Plus for thirty dollars.
Raya And The Last Dragon is about a city called the Heart and its people wanting to invite all of the other cities over to reunite. The Heart also cary a stone that saved the world from a virus that sweeps through people turning them into stone. One of the cities gets there hand on the stone and lets the virus back out. Years later, a girl named Raya is trying to collect all of the stones to bring everybody back together and get rid of the virus.
Raya And The Last Dragon was a good movie. I thought I would be calling it much more then that after I saw it. I even went to go see it in the theaters because I heard it looked amazing. And it did. The water and many colors displayed throughout the film looks like something out of a painting by Van Gogh. The problem was the story. They created this amazing world and amazing back story just to end with everybody holding hands a singing Kumbya. Not literally but it felt like they were about to break out singing. I came in expecting more of a life is tough ending and we have to work through it but instead it was just everybody should work together and nobody should dislike anybody. It was sort of disappointing. I don't know what happened with Disney stories. They used to make deep ones like the Lion King and Mulan but then just switched to making stories like this for some reason. I don't get it. It was just disappointing. They even shoved the dragon off to the side. The dragon was just used to make the message more effective, but instead for the whole movie I didn't like that dragon.
The acting was on par with all of the other Disney animated movies. There was nothing bizarre. Kelly Marie Tran did pretty good as Raya and Awkwafina did a good job as the dragon. Although the dialogue was a little weird too. They would use dialogue that we would use in this world. Like the slang we use and analogy's that would only pertain to us. It made you understand the film better but the world didn't feel as much like its own because of this. It was just a weird choice I didn't get.
As I was saying earlier, the animation is beautiful. Many times I was just mesmerized by how nice either the villages looked or the water going up stairs backwards. The world was also magnificently crafted. They had five different cities or clans that all did their own sort of thing. We did get a glimpse at each of them but we didn't really see much of them. That is why I think this movie would make a great video game. It could even take place during the time the first plague broke out. I just think it is a cool idea.
The action isn't a key part of the film but I looked really good. This film created many different weapons for the combat and it just looked like dancing. If a fight scene is perfect, that is how it should look.
Raya And The Last Dragon was an animation that had an amazing world and backstory built up around it but then didn't really deliver in the end. I would recommend this movie to anybody who likes watching animated Disney films or if they just want to see a good film.
