Raya and The Last Dragon Movie Critical Reception It’s a fun little watch with stunning shots and animation which will work a soothing charm on your eyes. This is how most Disney films are made these days and Raya and the Last Dragon is no exception to this rule. Tragedy struck protagonist, a world at risk, cute baby characters and facial animations, a mystical setting and a satisfying conclusion. The film ends on a light hopeful note and overall Raya and the Last Dragons screams Disney. The screenplay could have gone for creating a larger scope yet they decided to make the climax and the battle very conventional and it definitely broke my immersion to some extent. The emotional stake of this movie wasn’t strong enough to drive it afar, and it surely deserved more worldbuilding with all of its potential.

There have been many straightforward animated movies to come out in recent times, yet Raya and the Last Dragon falls into the clutches of clichés and formulaic plot points which could have been improved upon. My main problem with Raya and The Last Dragon is its predictability. Raya and The Last Dragon Movie Falls Prey To Predictability Watching Noi toss his pants at Raya and run butt naked through a water village was definitely one of the most memorable moments in this movie. Him and his 3 little monkeys are just freaking adorable.

Apart from her, my favourite character in the movie was Little Noi, a con baby who ultimately joins the Kumandra gang. With all her dragon powers, Sisu still finds herself get fooled by the general public in so many different instances. Awkwafina does a fine job in portraying this morally upright dragon who has very little self-awareness. She believes in goodness and doesn’t necessarily understand the evil intentions of humans. Sisu’s quirks are filled with goofiness and humor which is undeniably modern and hilariously cringe at times. These characters and Sisu bring an upbeat vibe to Raya and the last Dragon. On her journey to acquire gems along with Sisu, Raya meets numerous other characters who have each lost someone to the Druun.

The characters of this story are packed with versatility and awe-inspiring visuals. Awkwafina as Sisu in Raya and The Last Dragon Movie
