First-look image of Raya and the Last Dragon

Walt Disney Animation Studios has unveiled the first look at warrior Raya and her trusty steed Tuk Tuk, from the upcoming original feature film Raya and the Last Dragon. The studio also revealed that Kelly Marie Tran will voice Raya, joining Awkwafina as the voice of the dragon, Sisu.

The movie is directed by Oscar-winning helmer Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada. Raya and the Last Dragon is slated to open in the US theatres on March 12, 2021.

A long time ago, the story tells, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.

Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world — it’s going to take trust as well.
