Raya And The Last Dragon [DVD]

ES UNA PELÍCULA ENTRETENIDA

During the height of the pandemic, Disney decided to release its latest theatrical non-Pixar CGI movie on streaming to successful results. Hoping to appeal to a more international market, Disney instead of making a production on an existing story like Mulan, it was decided to created an original amalgamation of several pieces of Asian folklore, similar to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Despite the blending of different cultures, Raya And The Last Dragon manages to pull their history in an single narrative that reflects defining myths, like a standard fetch quest for magical gems.Set in the magical country of Kamandra(which is decidely absent of non-Asians), the humans used to have a union with the guardian serpent-like dragons that defend them from the shadowy Druun which turn people into stone. The remaining dragons managed to pull their magic together in a final stand against the Druun, with only one dragon surviving, and disappeared leaving behind a magic crystal which keeps the Druun sealed off from the rest of the world. The enchanted jewel lies in the nation of Heart, which wants to open its doors to the neighboring lands to create a newly unified country. But during the peace summit, the jewel is split into 5 parts, releasing the Druun, and dividing them each with their own jewels staving off the Druun. Jumping to five years later, Heart's princess Raya sets out to retrieve the other four pieces of the jewel by summoning the last dragon Sisu to help in her quest. Sisu is a water dragon that manages to gain different powers from each of the gems the collect, including being able to take on a human form. Along their journey, Raya and Sidu gain new allies, eash with their own reasons to rid the scourge of the Druun in order to return their loved ones back from stone. It turns out that the major element to making magic work in this world is the power of trust, as opposed to the power of "true love" which normally act as the remedy in Disney movies.Raya And The Last Dragon is in most respects one of Disney's most ambitious CGI productions, with amazing character designs and sweeping animation. One of the few setbacks is in Sisu's dragon form which is a stark contrast to the human characters, appearing more like something out of My Little Pony instead of your average scaled Chinese dragon. There's also some influences from Hayao Miyazaki with the Druun and the giant rolling bug that Raya rides on. Raya's quest would make for a killer 80s Nintendo game idea, but as a full-length motion picture, it actually brings the concept of epic back to high fantasy intended for the whole family.

My 3year old granddaughter loves this story.

We really enjoyed watching. Bought it influenced by the very high tomatometer scores. We're not sorry.

Granddaughter had borrowed it from a friend and loved it. So, we bought her one to keep!

Not a great film in itself, Raya shines with absolutely stunning detail and effects throughout. The story and protagonist are definitely mid-tier as far as Disney goes, and that is probably good enough for most. It's not a film to make my top ten, but I was thoroughly entertained throughout, and there never were any major disappointing scenes that took me out of the film. In fact, it has a nice blend of comedy and drama. To me personally, the animation and backdrops are a big part of why I love these films, and Raya does not disappoint there at all. Easily one of the more detailed animated pics from Disney. The 4K has exception color and depth for an animated picture. Sound was also fantastic. Easy recommendation for kids and adults.

A great kids’ film that has life lessons without being preachy.

Disney should make more movies like Raya and not something like other princess movies. More intense fight scene instead of singing all the time

The media could not be loaded.

Muy bonita película, valió la pena la espera, un super precio, gracias

Si eres coleccionista está película no puede faltar en tu videoteca, la animación es fascinante y tiene buen mensaje. El producto como todo lo de Disney es de buena calidad y viene a como en la imagen. Solo la copia digital está disponible para Estados Unidos por lo que en México no podrás descargar todo el material adicional como lo indica la película.

国産Blu-rayプレーヤーで再生出来ました。音声：英語、フランス語、スペイン語字幕も同じ。

Es una lástima que es la 3a vez que compro algo en Amazon México y que (a pesar que la foto la muestra) me llega sin el slipcover.Otra fue Soul, otra Idle Hands (special edition).Será que Amazon se queda con esas portadillas para revenderlas en otro lado? Es una pena que lo publicíteme así, que ni siquiera digan “portada puede cambiar” o algo así y que simplemente te llegue sin ella.Pero la película es una belleza y Awkwafina es fantástica.
