Subscribe: In their current string of high concept fantasy films meant to represent various real life cultures, Disney have now set their sights on South Asia with their latest film, Raya and the Last Dragon, recently released on Disney Plus via premiere access, and in theaters where possible. As the story of a young warrior princess who loses her father to an ancient conflict between the warring lands of her world and seeks the Last Dragon to set the world right once more, Raya is helmed by a cast and crew considering largely of women and Asian-Americans, in a move unlike much DIsney has done before. And with as big a task as to pay tribute to as many cultures from an underrepresented part on the world at hand, along with Disney’s general reputation for attention to detail, there are a lot of interesting facts to cover when it comes to Raya. Be it aspects of the production in a world struggling through a Pandemic, changes to the premise over time or simply little ways it lets its cultural influence be known, there is a vast amount of trivia and easter eggs to find in this high-flying martial arts adventure. And so we have. Watch and enjoy as we take you through the 25 Things in Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon that you just might have missed on your first watch.
