Disney s Raya and The Last Dragon has an East Asian problem WhatToWatch 1/26/2021

Raya and the Last Dragon, I was extremely excited at the prospect of having a Southeast Asian princess in the Disney family, especially as a Thai American. This would be the first time that a Disney animated feature film would feature a Southeast Asian lead.
Raya and the Last Dragon is set in the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons once coexisted. But when the Druun, an evil entity, threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save Kumandra. Now, 500 years later, the Druun have returned and it is up to a lone warrior, Raya, to find the legendary last dragon, Sisu, and save her people.
