Raya & The Last Dragon Trailer: Disney Animation Goes Hard Fantasy

Disney releases the Raya and the Last Dragon movie trailer, offering first look footage from the upcoming animated film starring Kelly Marie Tran.

Disney released the Raya and the Last Dragon movie trailer. It's been nearly four years since Walt Disney Animation Studios released their last original movie (2016's Moana) and after a couple sequels (2018's Ralph Breaks the Internet and 2019's Frozen II), the Mouse House is returning with an entirely new property in early 2021. Raya and the Last Dragon follows the tale of a warrior named Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) who goes in search of a dragon to help battle an evil force threatening her home. But the water dragon Sisu (Awkwafina) needs Raya's help first, and the two set out to restore Sisu to her full dragon powers and save Raya's home.

Raya and the Last Dragon is directed by Disney vet Don Hall (Big Hero 6) and Carlos López Estrada (Legion) from a script by Qui Nguyen (The Society) and Adele Lim (Crazy Rich Asians). The movie was originally intended to release in November, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was pushed to March 2021. While it's not yet clear what state the movie theater industry will be in at that time, Disney has kicked off the promotional push for Raya and the Last Dragon, first with a poster yesterday and now the trailer today.

During ABC's Good Morning America, Disney unveiled the Raya and the Last Dragon movie trailer, offering the first footage from the upcoming animated feature film. Check out the trailer below.
