LOS ANGELES: Disney has added a new member to its iconic “Princess Line” with “Raya and the Last Dragon.”
Released for rental on Disney+, the film tells the story of Raya, a warrior-princess on the hunt for pieces of the mythic “Dragon Gem,” as she journeys through a land once filled with unity and dragons until a plague of evil spirits led to division between the people and the disappearance of the dragons.
“What attracted me to the project,” said Awkwafina, who plays Sisu, Raya’s companion and last remaining dragon, “was how it would not only feature the cultures of Southeast Asia but also its first Southeast Asian Disney princess.”
