A piece of art that combined cultural/racial stereotypes and expectations in ways that were both offensive and occasionally profound. One that mixed kung fu, blaxpoitation funk culture, and nonstop R&B music. I needed to know how such a movie could exist. The first time I watched THE LAST DRAGON I was left absolutely awestruck. On his quest to possess the mystical power of The Glow, a young kung fu master must contend with the self-appointed Shogun of Harlem and a wannabe gangster trying to break in to the music industry. Raya and the Last Dragon features an outstanding voice cast, including Kelly Marie Tran as the voice of the intrepid warrior Raya Awkwafina as the legendary dragon, Sisu Gemma Chan as Raya’s nemesis, Namaari Daniel Dae Kim as Raya’s visionary father, Benja Sandra Oh as Namaari’s powerful mother, Virana Benedict Wong as Tong, a formidable giant Izaac Wang as Boun, a 10-year-old entrepreneur Thalia Tran as the mischievous toddler Little Noi Alan Tudyk as Tuk Tuk, Raya’s best friend and trusty steed Lucille Soong as Dang Hu, the leader of the land of Talon Patti Harrison as chief of the Tail land and Ross Butler as chief of the Spine land.So I’m watching RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON and this happens…Ĭlearly this $100 million Disney movie was just an excuse to introduce younger audiences to the real LAST DRAGON… The Last Dragon (1985) However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world-it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well.
