That kindness and compassion are the greatest weapons against tyranny.
Sisu preaches that differences can be overcome for a greater good. Sisu is kind, trusting, and nowhere near the fearsome warrior of fabled lore. Raya's discovery of Sisu challenges her perceptions. Raya's experiences have reinforced her negative beliefs.
The fear of "others" and the blinding effect of hatred is thoughtfully addressed in the film. Raya, along with her trusty rolling sidekick, an armadillo/pill bug called Tuk Tuk (Alan Tudyk), embark on a desperate quest to find Sisu and vanquish the Druun forever. When Chief Benja's hopes are shattered by a shocking betrayal, the resulting fracas releases the Druun spirits back into the world. She is suspicious and wary of the other kingdoms.Īt the summit, Raya meets Namaari (Gemma Chan), a fellow "dragon nerd" and Princess of the Fang. His young daughter, Raya (Kelly Marie Tran), has trained diligently to become a Guardian of the Dragon Gem. He invites Fang, Tail, Talon, and Spine to a peace summit. Chief Benja (Daniel Dae Kim), the Heart leader, believes that Kumandra can rise again. The Heart Kingdom protected the Dragon Gem and prospered, while the others bickered and struggled. Sisu mysteriously vanished, leaving the Dragon Gem behind as the only weapon against the Druun's return.įive hundred years later, humanity has fractured into five warring societies named after dragon body parts. The stone people returned to normal, but the dragons did not. The last dragon standing, Sisu (Awkwafina), used her incredible powers to defeat the Druun. Humans and dragons alike were turned to stone by their dark magic. Humans and dragons lived in blissful harmony until evil entities, the Druun, attacked with no mercy. Raya and the Last Dragon takes place in an ancient land that was known as Kumandra. Children will leave Raya and the Last Dragon highly entertained and hopefully more empathetic. The film explores the folly of war with surprising depth and nuance. The well-written plot teaches valuable lessons about trust, friendship, and the divisive nature of tribalism. Raya and the Last Dragon is chock full of martial arts combat, swashbuckling sword duels, and a mischievous con baby that nearly steals the show. Disney Animation delivers an action-packed epic that is absolutely thrilling in every regard.
