The Modesto Bee 4/28/2021 John Holland, The Modesto Bee
Apr. 28 Disney created Raya and the Last Dragon, its first animated film with a Southeast Asian heroine, with help from an anthropologist in Turlock.
Associate Professor Steve Arounsack consulted on the production over about two years, while continuing to teach at California State University, Stanislaus.
Arounsack helped to assure that Raya s fictional story was true to the region that inspired it. He was born in Laos himself and fled at 4 with his refugee family in 1980, eventually coming to Modesto. He has taught at Stan State since 2005, often helping students from various immigrant backgrounds tell their own stories.

Whenever you watch a Disney movie, you can be sure there will be an Easter egg or 10 hidden within it. It s no surprise, then, that
Raya and the Last Dragon continues this proud tradition.
Raya and the Last Dragon takes place in the separated lands of the fictional realm of Kumandra: Heart, Tail, Spine, Talon, and Fang. Raya, our young heroine, is searching for Sisu, the last dragon of Kumandra, in order to unite the disparate nations. Human discord tore them apart, and feeds the amorphous evil known as the Druun, a rolling black wave that turns every person and animal into stone. A star-studded cast brings this tale to life, including Kelly Marie Tran as Raya, Awkafina as the dragon Sisu, Daniel Dae Kim as Chief Benja, Gemma Chan as Namaari, and a whole host of others.
