Description

Disney Animation’s latest production, “Raya and the Last Dragon,” comes from directors Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada, along with co-directors Paul Briggs and John Ripa. A total of six writers are also credited – Qui Nguyen, Adele Lim, Briggs, Hall, Estrada, Ripa, Kiel Murray, and Dean Wellins. Projects with this many creative voices thrown together have been known to fall prey to tonal dissonance and narrative imbalances. Also taking into account the ambitious endeavor of introducing an audience to new characters, a new world, and new mythology and lore, the fact that “Raya” succeeds on so many levels is all the more impressive.
