Raya and the Last Dragon - first Disney film inspired by Southeast Asia

Walt Disney Animation Studios just released a production still of upcoming animated film "Raya and the Last Dragon."

WHO IS RAYA?

While she had her back turned, Raya clearly looks like a badass warrior with her red cape, hat, and sword. Beside her stood her trusty steed Tuk Tuk.

The story will take place in the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons used to live together in harmony. 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, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good.

According to a report on Entertainment Weekly, cultures that influenced the movie included the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

"Raya and the Last Dragon" is set to open in Philippine theaters in 2021.
