The latest Walt Disney Pictures animated feature is called “Raya and The Last Dragon” and it opens up in a little less than a month. We’ve already shared the Official Teaser and the Official Trailer (click the text to see those posts) and now it’s time for the International Trailer. This one does look pretty good so enjoy it. I’ve included the premise and voice casting once again and since this is an International trailer, I’ve included a few of the posters from other countries to be different. Let’s go.

The Premise: Long ago, in the world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, and her pet pill bug companion Tuk Tuk, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well.
