Review of Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) by Westsider55 — 05 Mar 2021

Raya and the Last Dragon felt like a missed opportunity. It has a good message but poor execution. Inconsistent animation quality throughout, forgettable characters with little personality, and a messy but simplistic plot.

It’s very possible the production of this film suffered due to the pandemic, with different teams working on it remotely. Late changes in directors and multiple writers lead me to believe that was the case.

While not a lost cause, the movie is forgettable and one of Disney’s weakest animated efforts in the last several years.
