Along the way, she unwittingly gathers a ragtag team of supporting characters, including goofy water dragon Sisu (Awkwafina), all the while hunted by a nemesis princess named Namaari (Gemma Chan).
She’s on a quest to collect shards of a magical dragon gem from the five feuding clans in order to restore Kumandra to its former glory. Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran, who rose to fame as Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi) is a warrior princess who sets off across the post-apocalyptic fantasy world of Kumandra, which is allegedly inspired by Southeast Asian culture. But all that – mostly – goes out the window with Raya And The Last Dragon, the entertainment conglomerate’s first new original (read: non-sequel) animated film since 2016’s Moana. Disney’s fail-proof formula for a princess movie is well known: there’s the song that serves as a grand statement of intent or desire, the undeniably evil villain, the talking animal sidekick and the love interest.
