Directors Don Hall’s and Carlos Lǿpez Estrada’s Raya and the Last Dragon is an exquisite and totally delightful animated film that is sure to become a classic.
In the land of Kumandra, there are 5 separate peoples who lived in harmony with each other and dragons until hideous creatures of dark smoke called Druuns invaded.
The dragons sacrificed themselves to save the humans, but 500 years later, the Druuns have returned and both greed and mistrust on the part of the tribes causes the destruction of the talisman that have kept them at bay.
It is up to Raya and the last remaining dragon, who had been in hiding, to resurrect the talisman and destroy the Druuns.
The film poses a unique solution of becoming sure enough of oneself to be willing to trust one’s enemy. And so, it succeeds on all levels…story, emotion and presentation.
I give Raya and the Last Dragon a 4.9 out of 5. This is a film the entire family will enjoy.
