The film also attracted famous fans with Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence, writing that she had already watched the film five times and "still can't keep [her] eyes dry at the end."

Raya and the Last Dragon tells the story of Raya (Kelly Marie Tran), the daughter of Benja (Daniel Dae Kim) who rules Heart, one of the five regions of fragmented Kumandra.

Humans and dragons used to live in harmony but when sinister swirling purple clouds called Druun threatened the land, the brave dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.
