![]() ![]() When the chiefs of all five lands reunite in Heart, Raya makes the acquaintance of Princess Namaari (played by Gemma Chan), the daughter of Chief Virana from Fang (Sandra Oh). In the end, he believes they can be Kumandra again. “This isn’t the world I want you to live in,” says Chief Benja. Chief Benja organizes a reunion between all five lands because he thinks if people of different lands do not learn to trust each other again, each land will fight others until the end. Heart’s highest chief is Chief Benja (played by Daniel Dae Kim), and his daughter is Princess Raya (performed by Kelly Marie Tran). The other four lands are called Tail, Talon, Spine, and Fang each is named after a part of the dragon. Kumandra got separated into five lands and the gem was then hidden away in the land of Heart. When all the people came back, they fought each other for the gem. Everyone that was stone came back to life, except the dragons. Before all the dragons turned into stone, five of them reunited their powers into a gem and, Sisudatu, the last dragon, used it to eradicate all the Druun. The dragons tried to fight back, until they were, too, turned into stone. The Druun turns whoever it touches into stone. Then, five hundred years ago, the Druun, a plague born from human disagreement, rose in power and threatened people’s lives. Once in Kumandra, a large region shaped like a dragon situated in South Asia, people lived harmoniously alongside dragons, creatures that brought humans water, rain, and peace. And although Raya and Last Dragon is a princess movie, I sense that it contains a meaningful message one that is particularly relevant in our present times. Besides the great action scenes filled with combat, the colorful sceneries, and the cast crowded with well-known celebrities such as Awkwafina, Kelly Marie Tran, and Sandra Oh, I am most interested in the themes of the movie, which are revealed by the plot of Raya and the Last Dragon. Lately, Disney movies have caught my attention previously, I wrote an article on the movie “Soul”, which I thought was an insightful story. During the summer, I watched a new Disney movie called Raya and the Last Dragon as a Saturday night activity.
