It sounds like Disney has another rousing critical hit on its hands with
Raya and the Last Dragon. Simultaneously hitting theaters and Disney+ Premier Access this coming Friday (March 5), the latest effort from Disney Animation features the studio s first princess of Southeast Asian descent (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran). In fact, the entire cast is almost entirely composed of Asian actors like Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim, Benedict Wong, Sandrah Oh, and Gemma Chan. That’s not something we see enough of, writes Josh Wilding in their ComicBook.com review, and these characters are never stereotypes, cardboard cut-outs, or what some might expect given past experience. Like the movie itself, they’re wonderfully realised, believable creations.
