Raya And The Last Dragon Watching Blog

Released date March 5,2021

Duration: 1 hr 53 min

Watched with my partner and his sister 🤗 Helps to watch with him there 😉 In case I have questions 😋

I really wanted to test out my new and improved book review template, so I made it work 😂 Changed/omitted some fields: changed trigger warnings to content warnings, changed read to watched, omitted POV, and omitted movie/show rec (since it is a movie already) 😂 Just moved fields around! See my review! 🙏🏾

General consensus was WE liked the movie 🍿 The animation was gorgeous and the Southeast Asian influence turned it into a fun guessing game of “Which country?” 😂

Took some notes 📝 : DO NOT read if you haven’t seen the movie! You’ve been warned 😂

• The darkness in movies meant for kids
• A journey propels a story (Plot based)
• Trust (stuff goes down without it…)
