movie review - Raya and the Last Dragon

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.03.15

This is a particularly good animated kids' movie. We watched it for "movie night" and I'm glad we chose it. It's gorgeously illustrated and has charming lead characters/voices. Its story revolves around the evil at the core of a once harmonious world, and the lead's desperate mission to find a dragon to fight back.

I'd easily watch this again.

Strongly recommended.
