Disney’s latest princess movie, "Big Hero 6", "Moana" Don Hall, Carlos Lopez and other four directors co-directed, this time is to add a lot of Asian creative team, Southeast Asian countries merged overhead World view, part of the film uses the introduction animation made by Cel shadow effect. The fighting scenes, visual effects, light and shadow rendering are very impressive, and there is a nice ending song.
Kelly Mary Chen’s dubbing and Okafina’s dubbing are very distinctive, especially such an interesting dragon. In terms of the soundtrack, I really like the kind of music with some electronic and drum beats, but I didn’t find the first preview. Although the production of the soundtrack is top-notch, the story still has many flaws. "Trust" is the theme of the film, and human beings are complicated. Raya's father Benja turned into a stone statue because of the betrayal of friends and other tribes. He has always been in a state of distrusting other people. The water dragon Sisu has gathered power because his family believes in her. Crystal gave it to her, and Namaari distrusted Raya because of her mother Virana’s improper teaching. Virana did not describe much in the film. The relationship between her and Namaari is actually very important to the overall story of the film. Sisu and Raya need to increase their emotional maturation. The friendship between Raya and Namaari is only superficial.
The film spends a lot of time inspired by the real world to create a worldview and create characters that do not trust each other. Although the martial arts effect is good, such as the liar baby, Boun, Tong supporting role gag as a funny or plot need, the background of the dark devil is also Without introduction, Tuk Tuk is only a must-have pet mount. Obtaining fragments and showing the world view are important as the main storyline, but the other three roles are also the focus, such as how Virana became better in the end.
Who is responsible for Sisu’s death? Raya killed Sisu indirectly. Namaari didn’t trust them and led to tragedy. Virana caused her daughter to hesitate in any trust. Convincing, because Raya still didn't admit part of her responsibility to others in the end, only Namaari knew it in her heart.
Raya said that at least she doesn’t need to get married. It can be seen that this movie is not only about women, but also for people who don’t need to get married all their lives and live freely. The movie at least gave a happy ending, and his father wanted to restore this place to its original state. In the kingdom of Kumandra, Raya succeeded in getting partners to trust themselves. This is still a story of unity, family, and friendship. Only humans and dragons trust each other to save everyone. Sometimes you can trust the right companion. In the end, Sisu is resurrected and the dragon and human coexist again, but the ending still does not explain the previous problem. For example, after Sisu was resurrected, he forgives everyone directly as if it did not happen. The film lacks the emotional foreshadowing of singing and dancing, which makes the plot. The shortcomings are exposed, but this is still a well-made animated film.
