Raya and the Last Dragon

[Giss Neric]

Didn't expect for the reviews to be this good. It's currently 95% on Rottentomatoes. I was originally planning to just wait till it is free on Disney+ but now I think I'm going to watch this in theaters. First movie I'm going to see in theaters since the pandemic started. I might go on a weekday to avoid crowds.

I'm just so excited to have a Disney princess inspired from my culture (among others in SEA of course!). The combat I saw in the trailer and the sticks Raya has looks like it's based on Arnis, which is a form of Filipino martial arts.

Also, the Disney Philippines account teased that they were gonna release their very first Tagalog song for the movie which has me in all kinds of feels.

Just wanted to say that we saw this last night and found it very enjoyable. My wife knew pretty much nothing about it going into the movie and ended up loving it the most. It's very well done, in my opinion.

Such a beautiful film! The animation is breathtaking and the cast does an amazing job. I highly recommend it!!

I wonder how many people are buying this hoping to get Black Widow on Premier Access lol.

Such a good movie. Story is quick on its feet and really is in service to the amazing live-action quality fight sequences. Honestly meant so much to see my corner of the world not simply treated as a dirty jungle. The ending made me tear up.

In case anyone missed it June 4 is when this will be available to all Disney+ subscribers.

We just got finished watching Raya (dropped the $30 for D+). We REALLY liked it. My only complaint, if I had one, is that it could have stood to be a little longer. But that's okay. Definitely the best animated from WDAS OR Pixar since at least Moana. It was better than Frozen 2. Of course being a SW and MCU fan, I like the action.

We figure for 2 adults and a child to go see it, it would have cost over $30 between tickets, drinks, and popcorn. The Regal theater that is 5 minutes away from us has been closed since the spring. No idea when it will be open. The Cinemark that is about 15 minutes away is not showing it (like all other Cinemarks).

The visuals and worlds were PHENOMENAL!

Does Tuk-Tuk act like a dog?

Does Tuk-Tuk act like a dog?

No.

 

[Brer Panther]

No.

Thank goodness. I thought he was gonna be a clone of Maximus from Tangled like Sven and Pua were. Does he talk?

No he's just a regular animal. He does what animals do. Eat, drink, get distracted by creatures, eat, and be a motorcycle as an animal is known to do.

You thought Pua was dog-like?

 

[Brer Panther]

I thought Maximus was hilarious. Didn't get a "dog" vibe from him, more like a horse who thought he was General Patton.

Maximus was funny. Sven and Pua were blatant attempts to copy his success.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Hei Hei was an anti-dog.

 

[NateD1226]

Not awful, but not that great either considering that NY theaters opened this weekend. Tom & Jerry made $13 million last weekend without those theatres. It also doesn't help that Cinemark decided not to play this movie. This could also mean that more people bought Premier Access, but Disney probably won't release those numbers unless they are insanely good.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Oh, what a beautiful movie!!!!! The animation was some of the best I have ever seen and I really enjoyed the theme (no spoilers). Not especially funny, but a really cool story with lots of action.
