A failing of the film is like Black Panther it doesn't truly convey what it's like in the Fang tribe that would breed her and the tribe's jealousy. However, her jealousy and cut-throat nature cause or contribute to Raya's distrust of people. She initially calls herself a dragon nerd. Her tribe was initially jealous of the Heart tribe for having the dragon gem. Gemma Chan ( Let Them All Talk and Crazy Rich Asians) also co-stars as Namaari, the warrior princess of another tribe. Yet, this film makes her more of an active presence in the story than Williams even had. Awkwafina's energy level is also at a pitch and rate that's certainly closer to Robin Williams than even Will Smith could manage in the remake, Aladdin (2019). She makes anachronistic references in her jokes, meaning she makes references to modern things, even though the time period feels like it's hundreds of years in the past. She's shapeshifting or she comes to be shapeshifting like the Genie. Superficially, she's blue, light blue not dark blue like the Genie. She's the equivalent of Robin Williams' character of the Genie in Aladdin (1992). They're not at war, but they've all isolated from one another and it has allowed the Druuns to decimate the tribes slowly but surely.Īwkwafina ( Ocean's Eight and Crazy Rich Asians) co-stars as Sisu, the dragon that Raya wants to find. It's a convenience of the plot that she has to do this because the four tribes don't trust each other. Once Raya finds the specific dragon, she then has to go to each of the other four tribes and retrieve those shattered pieces. Raya is able to hold onto one of the shattered pieces, but each of the leaders of the other four tribes takes one of the shattered pieces.
The Druuns are released when the dragon gem is accidentally shattered into five pieces.

She's raised to be a guardian or protector of a magical orb called a dragon gem. Kelly Marie Tran ( The Croods: A New Age and Star Wars: The Last Jedi) stars as Raya, the daughter to a chief of an Asian land that has been divided into five tribes or kingdoms. Disney was able to have its cake and eat it too with its mega-hit, Frozen (2013), but this film leans even more away from that. Disney has also tried not to limit their female characters to being only about pursuing a romance with some man. However, since Mulan (1998), Disney has tried to make their female characters stronger and more independent or at least not as dependent on a man to rescue them. Usually, it's about some delicate flower in need of rescue in one way or another. Over the past 20 years or so, Disney has tried to end that stereotype, which is that of a well-mannered girl whose story mostly revolves around some handsome prince and possibly her love of him. The Disney princess is very much a stereotype or even a cliché. The audience can be invested in the story and the persons in it, giving us an emotional attachment and some catharsis, even if it's built on a predictable foundation.ĭisney is known for its fairy tales and its stories about princesses. If a formulaic film is well written with a strong character arc, then the formula can be forgotten. This isn't necessarily a criticism because a film can utilize this formula, as long as they make it fun and do the proper work to endear the audience to its characters. This film, for example, is very much a fetch quest. It's also typical of a lot of action-adventure films for children or otherwise. Disney films like Pixar films and a lot of animated films have a formula that they use over and over to tell their stories. There's a formula to Disney films and this one is as much in that formula. It's a Disney film, so there are certain expectations that are there for anyone walking into this and those expectations will no doubt be met.
