![]() ![]() I think this movie unfortunately loses its way in the middle of the film. And I loved Tuk Tuk, as I said, and of course Raya is yet another great new addition to the “strong female Disney characters” thing so I was happy as they’re really the three main characters we see the most. ![]() Or maybe just old… Oh well – I liked the Awkwafina dragon anyway. I guess I just like my Disney films to stand the test of time but, hey, I’m old school. I’m actually not crazy about Robin Williams in Aladdin for this same reason & I liked Williams as an actor & comedian a lot (RIP – I will forever be sad about that). But I prefer when Disney doesn’t use very obvious voices & over-the-top comedians who can throw you out of the story a bit & make the films less “timeless”. Well, luckily I like her (and her vag) just fine so I liked her as the quirky dragon. ![]() I’m sure what either does or very much doesn’t work for people watching this is Awkwafina as Sisu the dragon. And I loved her pet Tuk Tuk! Forget the dragons – I want my own Tuk Tuk! It’s also sadly not nearly good as Moana, which it’s of course going to be compared to the most as that’s also quite recent & was very good. Is it as strong as Disney’s very best films? No, but it’s far from the worst and has quite a reputation to live up to if compared to the best. I liked the animation and there were some strong characters & a decent story. I thought this looked really good in the trailer & watched it as soon as it became available as part of the Disney Plus subscription. Well, maybe that’s not weird? Plenty of middle-aged women love Disney movies. In a realm known as Kumandra, a re-imagined Earth inhabited by an ancient civilization, a warrior named Raya is determined to find the last dragon. Starring: Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Izaac Wang, Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Benedict Wong, Sandra Oh, Thalia Tran, Lucille Soong, Alan Tudyk Here we go…ĭirected by Don Hall & Carlos López Estrada Well, I’ll be posting my June Roundup post next week but figured I better give these slightly more than just the mini-reviews in those posts. Can’t believe I didn’t review these two big new Disney & Pixar releases right away.
