With a plethora of mystical action and adventure to go around, Raya and the Last Dragon becomes yet another gem in the Disney animated catalogue. That animation, by the way, is absolutely gorgeous, with vibrant colours and sweeping cinematography making for some awe-inspiring visuals. The story itself is also quite effective, even if a bit overly muddled (trust me, there is A LOT of information thrown at us in the opening “history lesson”). Regardless, the characters inhabiting this wondrous world are all enjoyable, with Raya poised to be another contemporary Disney favourite - right up there with Mulan and Moana. The voice cast deserves plenty of credit also, as everyone from Kelly Marie Tran to Benedict Wong deliver some top-notch vocal performances. Awkwafina particularly stood out for me, as her voice and delivery are not only hilarious most of the time, but incredibly unique (nobody, and I mean nobody, sounds like she does in Hollywood today). And, of course, there’s something to be said for the diversity and representation on display, not to mention the expected themes around friendship and trust. So yes, it’s probably best that you put Raya and the Last Dragon first on your family viewing watch list!
