I was excited to hear that Disney was going to make a movie based on Southeast Asian cultures and themes. As I am Singaporean, I was hoping it would be good. After watching Raya, it did not disappoint with an entertaining and thought-provoking story. There was a blend of all the different cultures and races of Southeast Asia - the movie did not showcase any specific country in the design or various tribes in the show. Although I wished the use of other animals or symbols of “Asianess” instead of a dragon, it was done respectfully but I preferred the dragon representation in Shang Chi best. The key theme in this movie is about unity – a theme that is very current today. How do we find common ground after all the diversity and even betrayal in a social-economic complex world? A more complex story compared to other Disney fares but a good one and will probably work better after several viewings to see all the different elements of the story and Asian representation. What are your thoughts of the movie?
