The film is a homage to numerous Southeast Asian cultures, incorporating elements such as foods and environments native to Southeast Asian countries, slang inspired by languages such as Vietnamese, and the particular naming of characters - for example, Tuk Tuk (Alan Tudyk), a large but friendly armadillo-like animal that the protagonist Raya travels with through the landscape, is named after a three-wheeled motor vehicle used for taxi services in Thailand. Armed with an exceptional animation style, unique comic book-type transitions, and a heartfelt storyline about trust and culture, Disney’s latest animated feature film Raya and the Last Dragon premiered on March 5 in both the theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access.
