Disney has decided to go a step further in the diversity of its princesses and stories, and it seems that now it wants to look a little more towards the Asian continent. In 2020 we will not only have the live-action version of ‘Mulán’, but a new animated film that responds to the name of ‘Raya and the last dragon’ and that will also transport us to ancient Asia, that era of legends, adventures … and dragons. The long-rumoured project was officially confirmed and announced at Disney’s Expo D-23, where exclusive footage and voice cast was revealed. Here we tell you everything you have to know about the film:
‘Raya and the last dragon’ Release date
The film had a premiere date set for November 27, 2020, competing in theatres with movies like ‘ The Eternals ‘ or’ Godzilla vs. Kong ‘, but finally, Disney has decided to delay the film until March 12, 2021, due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Only one. And the brave Raya will travel in search of that last dragon to restore balance to her land.
