Raya and the Last Dragon

[Giss Neric]

Trailer looks great. I'm not yet sold completely though. I'm not yet also sure if I'm watching this in theaters or just pay 30 bucks to stream it.

I was expecting the dragon was inside her all along and it's her spirit or something. Well, they need merchandise after all.

Same. "Disney Princess who can turn into a dragon" sounded like a good marketing advantage over the other girls.

Looks decent enough. The dragon's reference to school group projects seemed outta place for this being a time piece set in an ancient era, but maybe that's just me.

Maybe she can travel through time like the Genie from Aladdin?

Disney Animation is releasing a short titled Us Again which will play in front of Raya in March and then be released on Disney+ in June!

Written and directed by Big Hero 6's head of animation, Zach Parrish, Us Again tells the story of an elderly man named Art and his young-at-heart wife Dot who rekindle their zest for life through dance one magical night. The short has no dialogue and is told entirely through dance and a funk- and soul-infused score, composed by Captain Marvel's Pinar Toprak.

First look at 'Us Again,' Walt Disney Animation's first theatrical short in 5 years

'Us Again,' written and directed by 'Big Hero 6' Head of Animation Zach Parrish, will play before 'Raya and the Last Dragon' in theaters on March 5. It will come to Disney+ in June.

"And it gets even sweeter! As a Disney Parks Blog exclusive debut, here is a “foodie inspired” clip from the new film introducing Boun, the self-styled “owner, manager, chef, and captain” of his boat, the Shrimporium."

Kinda hard to believe in characters who live in a distinct fantasy world with Oriental overtones yet talk like the cast from Saved By The Bell.

Based from what I’ve seen out of the advertisements, I can’t help but keep referring to this film as Disney’s Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Not really digging it... and good god that dragon looks and talks cringey.

 

[Giss Neric]

Sisu (the last dragon) reminds me so much of Genie. I really do hope her jokes lands really well. Been seeing very positive reviews so far but let's see.

Raya and the Last Dragon | Rotten Tomatoes

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it's up to a lone warrior...

-Ancient warriors
-Sacred temples
-Mythical creatures
-Jokes about school grades and group projects

One of these things is not like the others...

Plus the plot seems to be a mash-up of Kung Fu Panda, Avatar the Last Airbender, The Dark Crystal, Inuyasha, Dragonheart, etc. etc. etc. - in other words, it's not original in the least. It's just a mess of pieces from multiple puzzles forced together to try to form a new fantasy world. Snore.

Plus, at one point in the movie, the dragon actually says:

Spoiler

"WHO'S YOUR DRAGON?"

So happy for them:

Advertising campaign seems to have started a bit late at least where I live. Only just started seeing tv spots yesterday and its out on Friday. Strange. Still getting used to seeing the premier access logo on these spots to. How times have changed eh.

Not nearly as cringe as Maui's "tweeting" joke, and I really love Moana.

Plus, you can argue that a lot of Genie's impressions in Aladdin are out of place, too.

Most films that are "original" are, to an extent, mash-ups of other works.

Well, with Genie you could at least say that he can travel through time ("You're never gonna find another girl like that in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked." or whatever the line is). The dragon and Maui don't have the same excuse.
