Raya and the Last Dragon

From Disney Animation Studios

Travel to the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons lived together in harmony long ago.  But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.  Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned, and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people.  However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world — it’s going to take trust and teamwork, as well.

Starring Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Izaac Wang, Gemma Chan, and Daniel Dae Kim.

2021.  PG.  1 hr., 54 mins.

 

Everyone is welcome to come and watch the movie!
