Kelly Marie Tran talks about how there is a negative connotation to these stereotypes in previous movies. It shows the world that you don’t need love or pretty dresses to feel whole. Much like Moana broke the molds of the average princess (or in her case, chief) story, Raya and the Last Dragon continues this momentum. Raya (and Namaari) represent a new kind of Disney Princess. And I think that it’s really cool to be a part of.” Raya’s unlike any princess or hero we’ve seen in this world before.

And I think Disney’s really trying to broaden the idea of what people think when they think of the words hero, when they think of the word princess. And the third thing is that Raya is a very different type of character. Recognizing that this movie was going to be inspired by the part of the world that my family’s from made me really excited. The second thing is just the representation aspect of it. Kelly Marie Tran – “Firstly, just the fact that it’s part of the Disney animation world and, and growing up as a kid, that was, I was so obsessed with all of the Disney animated movies and recognizing the legacy behind that I think is definitely one of the things that attracted me to it. Interview with Kelly Marie Tran and Awkwafina about what it meant working on Raya and the Last Dragon The fight scenes were captivating and joy to watch because it showcases emotions we don’t normally see in a children’s film. Writer Qui Nguyen got a chance to choreograph the fight scenes with Southeast Asian fighting styles. While Raya and the Last Dragon changes your view of the Disney Princess, it also brings a film with no singing characters and replaces them with intense fight scenes. Recovering a piece of her fractured Dragon Gem, Sisu discovers the ability to shape-change into human form. Awkwafina steals the scenes with her quirky humor and one-liners, but it’s her heart that makes her such a charming character. The last dragon shows Raya what it means to trust and look at things from a different perspective.

The film invokes the message that we have to come together and trust in each other to heal what has been broken. Mirroring a nation divided much like those currently around the globe, Kumandra is also torn apart by the people that live there.

The people or Kumandra lived alongside beautiful, magical dragons that brought them water, rain, and peace. Raya and the Last Dragon is another step in Disney’s mission to change the perception of what a Disney Princess looks like, and they do that with fierce characters and storytelling from Southeast Asia culture.
