Oh god, I watched this 3 days ago and it ranks really low on Disney movies, not as bad a Wreck it Ralph 2 because they didn't emasculate their hero but it's just bad all over. Let me go over my notes.

Okay so the dialog is atrocious. First exchange between these twos references "Dragon Nerd." If you're trying to set us in your universe, you can't use modern vernacular. If you swear or reference a god, you need to do that in character, any decent role player knows that, as Nerd is a term from the 1980s. The two writers of this script are women, in case you're curious. Adele of Crazy Rich Asians who adapted the screenplay and Qui Nguyen who's done alot of trash YA novels. Metacritc for the film.

"Another gorgeously animated, skillfully voiced entry in the Disney canon, Raya and the Last Dragon continues the studio's increased representation while reaffirming that its classic formula is just as reliable as ever.

The film was made for brownie points first, actual story second. As is typical disney these days. Also why shaved heads, I caught a bit of clone wars and both female sisters who are stronk also have shaved heads that look like mental patients. This doesn't look "strong", it's looks silly.

Okay basic plot. Land is dragon shaped, need magic gem to beat back shadow monsters that consume beings and turn them into stone for some reason. It's a nebulous force of evil and it's as generic as it's get. Raya's father AKA Johnny Gat hopes for peace? That's unlike him. But he invites the other factions, Fang betrays them and the gem breaks, Gat follows Aisha and stays out of the film 20 minutes in.

Raya travels, other princess tries to get her blah blah. A few things stick out while they travel. The child characters of Boon and Con-Baby, yes a baby that steals from people cause parents stone and is written as well as you think. They're horrible and it falls into the Ghostbusters 2016 school of comedy in where the people never stop fucking talking, Shinsha is mostly to blame for this but she is never funny. I know she's called Shershu or something but I need something to cling to in this sea of despair and Shinsha is my life preserver because she's from something better.

Let's talk about voice acting for a minute. Kelly Marie Tran voices Raya, she's actually passable. She's a horrible actor but as a voice actor she has that generic female quality that passes for most heroines these days. She's also in Croods 2 so maybe she's moving that way role wise? (Croods 2 is okay as well, even if it has a stronk female presence as well, it beats out Lego Movie 2 and Incredibles 2 at least). Shinsha is voiced by Nora Lum aka Awkwafina. She's horrible because she's asian but her voice sounds black, for lack of a better term. It's just also unpleasant to listen to.

Back to plot. Shinsha saves Raya a few times but at the water town is the stupidest thing in the movie. Shinsha says that she knows where more crystals are and is tricked to be taken outside the town by the chief who has the stone piece, she threatens with leaving Shinsha out there if she doesn't tell here where the other stone pieces are. Now as you're aware, if she's turned to stone, how the hell is she going to tell the chief where the stone pieces are? If it were any other curse, it'd be fine but because stone, the writer didn't think this plot hole through.

Skipping ahead, Raya just needs Fang's piece now. So Shinsha says to trust her but shaved princess brings a crossbow and shoots Shinsha. No shit this was the funniest moment of the movie, because you could see it coming and it happened anyway. Shaved blames Raya for Shinsha's death and Fang's city gets attacked. They all fall down a crevice while saving people and Raya realizes that the MLP Dragons giving their magic to Shinsha wasn't actual magic but Trust. It was Trust that made the world whole and Harmonious. So she gives her stone piece to shaved princess and gets turned to stone and eventually everyone else as well, stone works, evil destroy, dragons come back and country united blah blah it's so pedestrian you can install a crosswalk on it.

This thing is almost 2 hours long and it's so fugging boring. Hey, is there a better disney movie with a better heroine, a better setting, actual stakes in story and characters and a better explanation for the blue rock that ties closer to their culture instead of "It's just Trust bro?" It saddens me that Atlantis is 20 years old and is still a better looking and animated film than this.

Let's not pretend, this movie was for the Chinese. They may say it's for South East Asian people (Even though they can't watch the film due to Disney+ not being available in that region), but let's not kid ourselves. Thing is, they already made a better Chinese movie that has a Disney look. White Snake might not be the best story wise and is obviously a product of China, but it does a better job at actually telling a story than this pandering BS does.

In short, this film is one thing.
