![]() ![]() My main criticism of the movie would be that the main message is a little heavy handed when I don't think it needed to be. Sisu takes a few forms in this movie and I really liked those as well. I saw a lot of criticism of the animation of the dragons in this movie but I actually really liked it. A lot of the main inspiration comes from Thailand and as I visited there last year it was really lovely to see how those real cultural elements were blended with the more mythological ones. I felt very immersed in the culture and style of this fictional universe. The world building was also excellent considering the run time of the movie. As I mentioned before, she didn't feel like some magical, invincible warrior like Mulan in the live action remake, it felt like she was really fighting the whole time. She's a flawed individual who makes mistakes and you can tell that she has been through trauma. Of course, she's a total badass and wields a sword like a pro, but she definitely has some wonderful character beneath that too which stops her from turning into a Mary Sue type. I absolutely loved the character of Raya who is Disney's newest princess. ![]() I loved that the characters didn't feel invincible, with some scenes where it felt like Raya may actually get totally beaten. ![]() The animation is absolutely stunning, as you would expect from Disney! I absolutely adored the fight sequences, they felt really impactful, beautifully directed and felt like there was a real threat there. I'd say it's the best Disney Animation Studios film since Moana. So, how did it hold up? Well, I for one absolutely loved this movie. There will be no spoilers in this review.* *Disclaimer! I was given early release press access to this movie. ![]()
