The latest Walt Disney Pictures animated feature is called “Raya and The Last Dragon” and it opens up today in select theaters AND on Disney+ as a part of their Premier Access. We’ve discussed this film before and to see those trailers and some cool posters just click HERE to enjoy them. Down below you’ll find the official poster, premise and ensemble voice casting. Take a look.
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.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I’d mentioned a few times already that this film looked like a lot of fun and might be something that I’d be interested in seeing based on the adventurous premise. With that being said, I can point out that there are no theaters open yet in my region so that’s out but with no vaccine in my immediate personal timeframe it would be out anyway. Sadly the Premier Access is not something that I participate in based on the cost and the fact that I am currently holding three other streaming accounts on top of a far too high cable bill. When this becomes available on the regular streaming that Disney+ offers I will definitely be sitting down to enjoy it. What about you readers? Are you ready to plunk it down for this one? Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you again soon.
