Disney officially announced the development of Raya and the Last Dragon, a new animated film inspired by Southeast Asian cultures.
Kelly Marie Tran was cast in the lead role as the voice of Raya, the film's protagonist.
Raya and the Last Dragon was released simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access.
Dragons and humans live together harmoniously, sharing the land of Kumandra peacefully.
The dragons create a powerful gem that protects the land and ensures prosperity and unity among the tribes.
The Druun, dark spirits, are unleashed, threatening to destroy all life in Kumandra.
The dragons use the gem's power to stop the Druun, sacrificing themselves in the process and leaving behind the Dragon Gem.
Kumandra is split into five distinct tribes — Heart, Fang, Spine, Talon, and Tail — divided by distrust and war.
Raya grows up as a warrior princess in the Heart tribe, training to protect her people and the Dragon Gem.
The Dragon Gem is shattered during an attack by the Fang tribe, unleashing the Druun again.
Raya embarks on a journey to find the last dragon and reunite the tribes to stop the Druun.
Raya finds Sisu, the last dragon, who can help restore the broken gem and save Kumandra.
Raya works to unite the divided tribes despite their mistrust to combine forces against the Druun.
The combined tribes, led by Raya and Sisu, confront the Druun to save their land once and for all.
The Dragon Gem is restored, the Druun are defeated, and peace is brought back to Kumandra as tribes unite.
