Awkwafina talks about Kelly Marie Tran, her character Sisu, and how recording COVID affected the movie.

When I first heard about it, it was a concept that I never heard of and couldn’t even imagine. Two strong, female characters, one a warrior princess. When I first heard about the idea and was introduced to the team and the director and the animators, I knew that this is going to be very special, especially with Kelly Marie Tran involved. I’ve seen some footage of it and I sometimes question if it’s live action or not because it’s so real. The beauty about Disney is there’s always this human element, something that’s very greatly relatable to all the characters. I definitely relate to both Raya and Sisu, my character, who is a water dragon.

Toward the end, we were still recording into COVID. That led to a lot of impromptu setting up the mic in my own house with horrible acoustics, recording for a Disney movie. That’s the cool thing with voiceovers. Unlike being on a set, you can kind of pick it up wherever you are. It was a process. You re-record scenes over and over again. Things would change. Characters would change. It’s a constantly evolving process, which is new for me to witness how Disney works. There’s so much hard work involved for the smallest details. It’s a constantly evolving vision

I met Kelly maybe a year ago. We share sometimes the same hair guy, so we know each other through him. But we haven’t had a proper chance to sit down and talk, which I’m definitely looking forward to doing soon. I wasn’t able to be in the same studio as Kelly.

The dragon looks like one of the Trolls mated with The Last Unicorn...

New trailer!

 

[Magenta Panther]

The lead character ain't no Aang.

Why does the dragon talk like a frat girl?

For some reason, I hate this even more now.

 

[Brer Panther]

Meh. The lead character just seems like Moana 2.0, and I'm not digging the dragon so far.

Bet the armadillo thing's gonna act like a dog.

Bet the armadillo thing's gonna act like a dog.

Would be nice to have an animal sidekick that acts like a cat and is totally disinterested in helping the protagonist.

Appa 2.0.

I'm so excited - we only caught a few glimpses of the combat scenes but they already look super promising. Plus, Disney's first SEA lead!

 

[erasure fan1]

Yea, I'm still not feeling it. It just all feels so generic to me.

 

[Disney Analyst]

It look so gorgeous and wonderful to me, and I love Awkwafina. Can't wait.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Oh this looks sooooooo good. Excited for this more and more with each new trailer I see. Love from the trailer "The world is broken; you can't trust anyone"..."maybe the world is broken because you don't trust anyone"....Ohhhhhh...
