Disney is really getting better at cgi now. The hair, the graphics and clothing too! Tangeld was their most expensive project but this looks like the most expensive. Definitely gonna watch this movie, the trailers are so good
I’m not sure if it was cgi or not but the graphics looked spectacular and the movie cost around 100 million to make but since it’s so good they have already made half of that money back from just a couple of weeks of it being out
I feel like not only adults caught on to Raya's and Namaari 's potentially romantic relationship, I watched this with my nephew who is 5, and even he saw something besides friendship.
I found the scene where boon gives his piece turns to stone so emotional. I also found it strange that instead of transforming to the placting cup form, he remains hugging raya. As do the others, as if there trust forms a literal stone like bond.
I thought that it was trust, often symbolised by giving or receiving a gift, was the only thing capable of fighting the Drun. Therefore, when the Drun takes people's souls, the last thing he could take was their capacity to trust each other. So the stone people raise their hand to show that the last thing left into them before they were petrified was their capacity to trust, the thing the Drun has the most difficult to obtain and thus takes last.
But that doesn't make any sense, because from the flashback when we were first introduced to the purple cloud thingy, it showed them turning somebody to Stone with their hands raised *before* the magic stone was created
My interpretation about why the rest of the tribes didn’t go looking for Sisu was that they found it too dangerous to do so. They’ve already lost a lot of their people and the only read way to deflect the enemy (unless you’re fully surrounded by water) is if you have a piece of the gem, which most don’t. Raya does have a gem piece though. That’s just my personal take though.
They mean why not go looking for the in the whole 500 year period, or since whenever the myth that she's still alive was born. Also, it seems that later on, it only took Raya a few days, weeks at most to travel between all the countries by boat seeking the gems, but why before it took her 6 years to go to all 9 branches of the river?
@@meganesenpai yeah, I saw those flaws in the movie. It feels like there is a missing piece in the 6 years of searching. Kumandra is not big enough for her to search for it that long. There were also not a lot of water sources in the scroll she stole from Fang. However, this can be tolerated because she only stole the scroll 6 months before she met Sisu as mentioned in the movie, but there should be clues to what she's actually been doing the last 5 & 1/2 years - instead of just searching. Moreover, I dont believe that all of Hart population were turned into stone, so maybe Raya was with them the entire time as they were her subjects. I also think that Chief Virana should be given more screentime in the movie as she actually became a villain towards the end of the movie, but then again, maybe the director thought the scene where she gave the gem piece to Namari was unnecessary and time wasting.
@@meganesenpai I think it was because in the 500 year period the people probably fell into a false sense of security, and also probably thought that the dragon still being alive was just a myth. They probably didn't think they needed it because as long as the gemstone was safe, they were safe from the Drunn returning. And just like with everything, they didn't learn from the past so they ended up repeating it.
@@meganesenpaithey mentioned in the beginning there were hundreds of river endings, and that was also a reason why they didn't go look for sisu in the 500 years. I'm also thinking that in those six years, she had to figure out how to survive and/or take care of her people.
@Jane Hsieh yea there could’ve been so much covered on the terms of each kingdom and the dragons life before everything went down. There’s so many possibilities since they left a bunch of doors opened.

also i think its better to be turned to stone than to die old. i mean those that were turned to stone didnt age. we can even see raya's father limping because that was the last state he was in before turning to stone
I can actually answer a few of this things. 1.) Raya told Namari it was Sisu knowing full well Namari wouldnt trust her word. As namari is the first person Raya trusted other then her father and that trust was betrayed. 2.) the clans stayed apart because they got what they wanted a piece of dragon magic and were more interested in protecting their piece then collecting more. This also means that other then fang they had no idea raya was collecting gem pieces. Also everyone believed heart was destroyed. 3.) the overall plot in this movie and avengers end game is a popular plot line used in fables fairy tales and legends so its common to see it through out media and pop culture every now and then. 4.) if look at the surrounding on rayas journey you see remains of stone people caravans and rubbish showing that people did search for Sisu and just never succeeded. And 5.) Most legends leave out big chunks or change important bits as they are told by survivors not wanting to show or admit fault so it make since people would not tell how the druin really came to be.
Maybe other people didn't search for it because Disney wanted to indicate here how truly a heart works because Raya is from the heart part of kumandra, it's emotional, trusts anyone blindly, and when it's scared with betrayal it tries hard to not trust anyone, so yeah basically DISNEY indicated how truly our heart functions emotionally
The main thing that confused me about the movie is how its consistently shown that stone victims are forced into the same pose, so how come everyone (but raya) chose their pose when they willingly were taken? And dont say it's a willingness thing because Raya's dad gave himself up too but still was forced into that pose.
If you notice the dragons don’t freeze in that offering position and I think it’s because they willingly sacrificed themselves for the good of others (as all the heros at the end did) so they already “offered” something. If that makes sense?
I think its because they were the ones destined to destroy the drunes. Their trust and determination to destroy the drunes overcame the strength of the pose. I assume
I think it has to do with trust, the dragons trust each other and sacrificed themselves to save everyone, raya trusted namari and namari her which could lead to them being able to fight the pose, but rayas father did yes save his daughter but I don’t think he truly trusted her or believed she’d make it out alive even after she was thrown in the water, that’s my theory
I did not see any romantic intrested quite the opposite you can tell Raya was carrying trauma from the backstabbing from Namari, I honestly feel it had more to do with forgiving than anything which I personally didn't like because you don't have to forgive those who cause trauma in your life especially since Nimari never said sorry but pretty much gaslighted her telling her it was Raya fault for not trusting like your the reason she has trust issues lol
I thought the same thing I was like seriously?!? You’re the whole reason she has trust issues and then you back stabbed her AGAIN. So what did you expect her to do
The religious symbolism is really significant. Most of the"nations" in the film are artistic interpretations of ancient cultures that worshipped dragons in some form.
I like that Kelly Marie Tran didn't explicitly confirm if the relationship was romantic or not. She just left it up too audience interpretation which is how it should be.
Yeah i loved the movie. Don't know why everyone is complaining about the dragon tho. I loved Raya and the last dragon, i'm a 25yrs old dude, and i would definitely watch this again with friends, just to have a good time.
@@spook7907 I'm 21 and enjoyed it for the most part. I do feel the dragon designs were made entirely for toys which made the powerful scene of Sisu saving Raya and growling and stuff comical because her face was so hilariously over the top cartoony. The design grew on me a little bit but overall it does throw me off. The characters were all very enjoyable I just wish the movie was a tv series so there was more time to develop relationships and stuff. There was never any breathing room which was sad but if I just shut my brain off to enjoy the movie it wasnt too bad.
They could've at least fleshed out the Tail and Spine part of the story because it really feels like they rushed those parts for just adding a party member but all in all the concept and worldbuilding is amazing and it would be a great world to explore in the world of gaming.
Another thing that bothered me about the ending was when I thought about food. Think about, mass farming was likely impossible in most places due to the dru. So when everyone comes back there would likely be a famine that would last a couple years until farming started up again (just wanted to bring it up because they make it out to be a happy ending but in reality it would be much more difficult. I would have enjoyed seeing them do more world building by exploring setting up trade routes and building relations so that the famine would not be so sever and shared equally).
Probably none, Sisu's 4 siblings were the only other dragons who put their powers into the dragon gem. She got all 4 powers from the other gems. It might contain her power tho, but she said her power was being a strong swimmer, and she showed it so there's no need. Unless that really isn't her true power and the fang gem actually contained it 🤷♂️
I’m just guessing that the power that it would have given her was strong swimming, buuuuut She is already a REALLY strong swimmer, so basically it wouldn’t do anything
Disney, if you claimed that Raya isn't romantically in love with Namaari, the why would you making Raya flirty with Namaari throughout the whole movie?
hi I am twelve and I realized all of this. I mean I am from Southeast Asia and tons of children notice the romantic connection between Raya and Namaari. Gurl it was SO obvious to the point I was living for that ship.
Girls and guys can play and talk with each other all the time, they can hang out, talk about dragons or play with Barbies and not be entering in some sort of romantic relationship. There are different levels of relationships.
Same I have a friend that’s a boy I don’t like him as a crush he is just my friend ppl keep on calling me his gIrLfRieNd LIKE DUDE IM 12 HE IS ALMOST 13
Agreed, that was the thing for me. I don't mind any of that but I didn't want to see it in the movie particularly because it didn't really make sense for them to be. I'll admit they would make good friends with some of the same interests and things but it didn't have to be an romantic interest like you said.
For those people who are confused of what power contains by Fang's gem piece, its the power of Sisu, the moment Sisu slained by the arrow, the waters dried and the gem pieces almost lost it's power. The bottomline is, Sisu have a correlation in the dragon gem.😊
I don't believe Raya actually found Sisu. If Raya hadn't prayed, Sisu probably wouldn't have appeared anyway. Raya could have prayed at any place with water, but she wasn't desperate enough to do it before. I don't think everybody knew about the legend of Sisu's body being downstream. Raya didn't know until Namaari told her so. But it probably wasn't a true story anyway. Other people may have looked before, but they just wouldn't have found Sisu because they wouldn't have prayed with sincerty in their heart if they were looking out for their own interests. Even Raya only had this sincerity because of her father.
I believe that creator created Namaari as a girl because if it's a guy, then the movie will have a romantic feeling. It's better to have a bff than a bf
@@HealthWealthRelationships700 They are Warrior Women, sparring is common for them and getting in combat doesn't always mean 'Hate', martial arts isn't just about violence(it's also a sport- "competing not killing"). They also call each other 'dep la' which means Beautiful in case you forgot.
I didn’t get romantic from this, only mutual respect and dual interests, which eventually became a close friendship. Not all these movies need to have a love storyline FFS. Lots of women have close relationships with mutual love and admiration with other women, without it being romantic. It’s a little disappointing that “tension” among women is seen to equal romantic attraction, like women can’t be attracted to each other without hating each other first. If they were actually love interests, it would be due time to Disney to introduce this explicitly.
they gave me enemies to lovers vibes but the only time it seems like the were flirting was when Namari tells Raya "You made a friend and it though you will end up like the cat lady like me" or something like that and raya also says "I though you miss me" i dont remmeber in detail but i feel like they can be more than friends
I hate the idea that raja has to have a live interest, we don’t need every character to be in love and it kind of takes away from the adventure story they told
Did the other dragons choose Sisu because she was the water spirit and humanity's only defense against the Drune? In the event that she failed she would still be alive and that's what mattered.
The dragons as a whole didn't choose Sisu, her brothers and sisters did. All the other dragons were gone when Pengu created the dragon gem on a whim because he "refused to accept defeat" as Sisu said. Her family's trust in her with the gem and their magic just happened to be a successful last ditch effort to defeat the druun.
@@laurenevers8644 I can back up my previous claim that sisu is like the chosen one because of her connection with the water because the moment she died/or got shot and myb died in the movie, well what happen as an immediate aftermath? the world started to end, there was no water to protect the humans and that's why she was the only one who remain, though unintentional, there was a reason why only she remained and it's because she's a water dragon with the water spirit in her or something
Nah it's the Spirit Gems from The Legend of Spyro series since they're the source of magic Dragons use and the environments from the series is more fitting for this, ancient and somewhat but not really modern.
The belief that Noi couldn't exist in real life shows that you've never heard of The Jungle Book, a book/film based on real life event of a child raised by animals which is something that has happened numerous times in real life.
I just thought that since it was about Trusting each other, it could have been explored and executed better if it was a series. The scenes of the characters were just them "being together", no strong bond was shown.
Yeah! I think the concept for this movie was amazing (I mean as amazing as a kids movie gets) but it needed a lot of development. I think if it was a series there would be more time to explore how Namaari and Raya could come to trust each other, maybe have an apology and a work towards forgiveness, without it seeming rushed and insincere like it did in the movie. I would like to see a show or even comic come out of it.
I don’t think it was rushed. I think they did that on purpose. This looks like crisis and trauma response. Sometimes you don’t have a lot of time to develop things. Especially in crisis. Sometimes you have to make split decisions and have faith In that decision. You have to trust people you don’t know or don’t like because your back is against the wall. Sometimes those decisions bite you in the butt and sometimes those decisions save people. Many couples and friendships have developed in crisis situations. People have an odd way of bonding during trauma.
I did not see any romance. Is it THAT uncommon for girls/ women to have shared interests and hobbies without being romantically attracted to each other?!?! Why not bring up that the two emerging rival leaders, who both loves their tribe and would do anything for their tribe, were able to set aside their differences and work together. Everything else is also overthinking.
I think the reasons that no one else was hunting gem pieces are: 1) Raya had the means to do it, ie, already being in possession of one of the pieces 2) People in the other kingdoms had a gem piece, so they were protected and there was no reason to venture outside of their own kingdom. The leaders were happy to look after their own and if one of the citizens had wanted to look for the other pieces then they would have had to steal the gem piece from their kingdom first which they probably couldn’t have done. 3) Not as big of a reason as lots of people probably had this too but Raya had the motivation to do it as well
"You turned my father into stone and devided the land!!" "sO hOw'S dInNeR aT eIgHt SoUnD?" "yEa DaZ kEwL" Gaslighting and betrayal is NOT a good ice breaker...
If Disney spent more time building a better background childhood friendship and gave Namaari an actual redemption arc by having her apologize for starting everything, THEN that would have set the ground for a potential relationship. Idk, friends to enemies to friends to lovers. But that didn't happen so... wasted potential.
I’m 99.99% sure people who see them as a couple is be cause of Namaari ‘s hairstyle and the fact that they’re two strong female warriors. It’s funny how people make assumptions based on appearance. Aren’t we past that?
@@Rose-xe4ct Of course I’ve heard of that concept but it’s clear & obvious when it’s meant to be that, like in Avatar, 10 Things I hate About You, or Pride & Prejudice, to name a few. By the same token, there’s also a lot of movies where enemies just end up as friends, have you not heard of that? Yeah, people may “interpret” this movie in which ever way they want. My point is that the assumption they’re a couple is based on appearance alone because the movie itself does no clearly imply that.
This movie was beautiful and carried important values, but it was not enough to hide the fact that the characters were pretty flat and the plot was a bit rushed.
Disney copied the Malice from Breath of the wild.The only difference is its name.(The Druun)And its coloration,Malice being red and black.Druun being purple and black.
To me this movie has a lot of similarities with how Equestria from MLP is founded. From the episode "Hearth's Warming Eve". There is the main antagonist being created from the distrust, arguments, and then in the end a few of them get together, trusted and stayed together, then peace was restored. In general it was similar.
Except there wasn't really any dragon body to find, washed all the way down the river, right? Raya had to perform a specific ritual at the location to manifest Sisu out of the water. Most people wouldn't go into the wreck of an old ship and randomly perform that ritual for a lost dragon.
I think that the reason no one went looking for Sisu in the five hundred years between her disappearance and the movie is because no one was desperate enough to make the effort.
Noi is a sad reality of many street children in the region, of course exaggerated for a kids movie’s comic relief. I’m conflicted about it becoming a comic relief, kinda glad they included it, but at the same time… idk. It’s complicated, but that’s maybe why Noi is my favorite character in the whole movie.
Is it just me, but I feel a big plot hole in the movie is that the Druun are repelled by water and the dragon Pangu could make it rain... like that couldn't have been a tactic to fight the druun instead of becoming stone.
Call me crazy but... I think powers of the Dragon could be limited. Not only in "what they can do" (like make it rain but no other things) but also in how much and how long they can do it. In other words: that wouldn't really be lasting strategy...
What I learned watching this video ? If you have something in common with a person and you trust him = LGBT. That is not what trust and having something in common means. Love =/= trust and having things in common !
@@nomenetaniufafo6188 interesting. but that doesnt make sense cuz raya's dad sacrifice his life to save Raya also but he also does that pose when he turns to stone.
I would say that is because that they were touching another person, and also it makes that final scene very heartbreaking with them basically hugging, with Boon hugging Rayas leg
I think it was just a matter of taking some artistic liberty. They wanted to show the gangs trust in each other by having them close. It had more emotional impact that way.
Druun is social media and people that turned to stone is just metaphor for people that being called out and cancelled. And yes, I just making things up XD
The Dragon Gem in detailed view shows some cracks and seams similar to the disassembled parts in the movie's timeline. Could that be a subtle hint that the gem might have been cracked in conflict once before?
I mean comparing raya to the endgame is kinda lame... Because before endgame Dragonball (a threat appears, humanity being wiped out, a group of fighters, the use of the dragonballs to bring back all the people they lost etc.) had a similar plot, just saiyan.

I guess,stone people raise their hands,because it was Pengu's last act when he gave to Sisu dragon stone. Admit,it's similar
Pengu’s last act was to give Sisu the gem, before being petrified.
Damn never noticed that

Yeah. She said she ships them but it’s up to the interpretation of the audience. Though she wants it to happen, it is not confirmed.
Same :/ u say it’s not a real Disney movie lol
Honestly I don't really like naamari, she never even apologized
@@jilljillysillybilly Actually implying an open ended ship like that is pretty dangerous if you think about it. Seeing how toxic Namaari was
Well she has a point. Literature is a form of art and people interpret the art differently based on their perspective.
Best Disney Couple
What couple
No, Namaari did wrong and Raya fixed everything.
Oh your being sarcastic. Gotcha 😁
LITERALLYYY
There's no couple.
Sizu is my favorite but holy crap these characters are so likable
Yeah i loved the movie. Don't know why everyone is complaining about the dragon tho. I loved Raya and the last dragon, i'm a 25yrs old dude, and i would definitely watch this again with friends, just to have a good time.

@@Justsomeoneboredddd haha thank you I really messed that up its staying like that tho
@@spook7907 im 29 years old i watch it super drunk im not gonna lie cry a couple of times
@@spook7907 I'm 21 and enjoyed it for the most part. I do feel the dragon designs were made entirely for toys which made the powerful scene of Sisu saving Raya and growling and stuff comical because her face was so hilariously over the top cartoony. The design grew on me a little bit but overall it does throw me off. The characters were all very enjoyable I just wish the movie was a tv series so there was more time to develop relationships and stuff. There was never any breathing room which was sad but if I just shut my brain off to enjoy the movie it wasnt too bad.

They could've at least fleshed out the Tail and Spine part of the story because it really feels like they rushed those parts for just adding a party member but all in all the concept and worldbuilding is amazing and it would be a great world to explore in the world of gaming.
Agreed. They missed some good opportunities there. I want to see a part 2 though using all of the adventurers from the first movie + Namaari.
That was the most complicated way I ever heard somebody say “this should be made into a video game.”
@@yatomcyato6459 OMG yes
Another thing that bothered me about the ending was when I thought about food. Think about, mass farming was likely impossible in most places due to the dru. So when everyone comes back there would likely be a famine that would last a couple years until farming started up again (just wanted to bring it up because they make it out to be a happy ending but in reality it would be much more difficult. I would have enjoyed seeing them do more world building by exploring setting up trade routes and building relations so that the famine would not be so sever and shared equally).
The dragons probably take care of that. ;)
Yeah. They’ll just make it rain all the time.

sisu didn't had the chance to touch fang's gem, anyone curious what was the power it has???
Probably none, Sisu's 4 siblings were the only other dragons who put their powers into the dragon gem. She got all 4 powers from the other gems. It might contain her power tho, but she said her power was being a strong swimmer, and she showed it so there's no need. Unless that really isn't her true power and the fang gem actually contained it 🤷♂️
I’m just guessing that the power that it would have given her was strong swimming, buuuuut
She is already a REALLY strong swimmer, so basically it wouldn’t do anything
@@bluebeeboo This is exactly what ive been thinking!
I do
Trust…
Disney, if you claimed that Raya isn't romantically in love with Namaari, the why would you making Raya flirty with Namaari throughout the whole movie?

I just watched it yesterday and it was pretty good. I thought Amaari and Raya were going to end up together and Awkafina was hilarious as usual ❤️
Girls and guys can play and talk with each other all the time, they can hang out, talk about dragons or play with Barbies and not be entering in some sort of romantic relationship. There are different levels of relationships.
Ya
Same I have a friend that’s a boy I don’t like him as a crush he is just my friend ppl keep on calling me his gIrLfRieNd LIKE DUDE IM 12 HE IS ALMOST 13
Agreed, that was the thing for me. I don't mind any of that but I didn't want to see it in the movie particularly because it didn't really make sense for them to be. I'll admit they would make good friends with some of the same interests and things but it didn't have to be an romantic interest like you said.
I was sobbing watching this movie
This movie was great because it had ZERO romance. No need to force it
Someone who gets it too 👍
THANK YOU!!!!
IKR FINALLY A PERSON WHO AGREES
Finally, someone else who sees that a story can be just as good (if not better) without romance.
EXACTLY!!!!!
For those people who are confused of what power contains by Fang's gem piece, its the power of Sisu, the moment Sisu slained by the arrow, the waters dried and the gem pieces almost lost it's power.
The bottomline is, Sisu have a correlation in the dragon gem.😊
I don't believe Raya actually found Sisu. If Raya hadn't prayed, Sisu probably wouldn't have appeared anyway. Raya could have prayed at any place with water, but she wasn't desperate enough to do it before. I don't think everybody knew about the legend of Sisu's body being downstream. Raya didn't know until Namaari told her so. But it probably wasn't a true story anyway. Other people may have looked before, but they just wouldn't have found Sisu because they wouldn't have prayed with sincerty in their heart if they were looking out for their own interests. Even Raya only had this sincerity because of her father.
I suspect the remaining Drun is meant to be set up for a potential Disney+ series
Druun Diaries
I believe that creator created Namaari as a girl because if it's a guy, then the movie will have a romantic feeling. It's better to have a bff than a bf
Yeah, from the amount of shipping these two have I'd say that didn't quite work lol
Welp, they failed at not creating the romantic feeling anyways
Well, I guess i'm an adult.

I noticed the possible romance, I ship Raya and Naamari.
I did not know romance entailed punching each other in the face, and literally hating each other.
@@HealthWealthRelationships700 they literally become friends again at the end, and forgive each other
@@HealthWealthRelationships700 They are Warrior Women, sparring is common for them and getting in combat doesn't always mean 'Hate', martial arts isn't just about violence(it's also a sport- "competing not killing"). They also call each other 'dep la' which means Beautiful in case you forgot.
@@vryojhncajhdf5746 Dep la means best friend.
Am I really the only person who knows her name is for the Muslim holiday Eid!?!
My favourite part of this movie is when Raya called Namaari "Ms Undercut" like I died-
Its princess undercut
@@anajoanncabrera7664 eh, same thing
I didn’t get romantic from this, only mutual respect and dual interests, which eventually became a close friendship. Not all these movies need to have a love storyline FFS. Lots of women have close relationships with mutual love and admiration with other women, without it being romantic. It’s a little disappointing that “tension” among women is seen to equal romantic attraction, like women can’t be attracted to each other without hating each other first. If they were actually love interests, it would be due time to Disney to introduce this explicitly.
they gave me enemies to lovers vibes but the only time it seems like the were flirting was when Namari tells Raya "You made a friend and it though you will end up like the cat lady like me" or something like that and raya also says "I though you miss me" i dont remmeber in detail but i feel like they can be more than friends
I hate the idea that raja has to have a live interest, we don’t need every character to be in love and it kind of takes away from the adventure story they told
Did the other dragons choose Sisu because she was the water spirit and humanity's only defense against the Drune? In the event that she failed she would still be alive and that's what mattered.
The dragons as a whole didn't choose Sisu, her brothers and sisters did. All the other dragons were gone when Pengu created the dragon gem on a whim because he "refused to accept defeat" as Sisu said. Her family's trust in her with the gem and their magic just happened to be a successful last ditch effort to defeat the druun.
@@laurenevers8644 I can back up my previous claim that sisu is like the chosen one because of her connection with the water because the moment she died/or got shot and myb died in the movie, well what happen as an immediate aftermath? the world started to end, there was no water to protect the humans and that's why she was the only one who remain, though unintentional, there was a reason why only she remained and it's because she's a water dragon with the water spirit in her or something

9:14 They're both Disney and technically it's not stealing if you're ripping off yourself
Honestly a lot of lgbtq members saw the possible relationship I’m under 16 and I saw it instantly
Request a medal then
As a Legend Spyro fan, I'm pleased these gems are the source of magic for Sisu alot like the Spirit Gems.
Dragons 🐉 turning into stones reminds me of the original Spyro The Dragon game
Nah it's the Spirit Gems from The Legend of Spyro series since they're the source of magic Dragons use and the environments from the series is more fitting for this, ancient and somewhat but not really modern.
I am an adult and i didn't see any romance between Raya and Namaari. They hardly knew each other.
True... And "Dep la" means "best friend". I love how their friendship began to grow, but I hope they keep it to a friendship level.
they 👏are 👏literally👏 in 👏love
The belief that Noi couldn't exist in real life shows that you've never heard of The Jungle Book, a book/film based on real life event of a child raised by animals which is something that has happened numerous times in real life.
I just thought that since it was about Trusting each other, it could have been explored and executed better if it was a series. The scenes of the characters were just them "being together", no strong bond was shown.
Yeah, a big consensus I've noticed about this movie is that it seemed rushed and would have been better as a series and I agree
Yeah! I think the concept for this movie was amazing (I mean as amazing as a kids movie gets) but it needed a lot of development. I think if it was a series there would be more time to explore how Namaari and Raya could come to trust each other, maybe have an apology and a work towards forgiveness, without it seeming rushed and insincere like it did in the movie. I would like to see a show or even comic come out of it.
I don’t think it was rushed. I think they did that on purpose.
This looks like crisis and trauma response.
Sometimes you don’t have a lot of time to develop things. Especially in crisis.
Sometimes you have to make split decisions and have faith In that decision. You have to trust people you don’t know or don’t like because your back is against the wall.
Sometimes those decisions bite you in the butt and sometimes those decisions save people.
Many couples and friendships have developed in crisis situations. People have an odd way of bonding during trauma.
@@p0rnany0ne yeah but even for that it seemed a bit rushed.
Narrator: tAk TaK
Indians: IT'S TUK TUK
I did not see any romance. Is it THAT uncommon for girls/ women to have shared interests and hobbies without being romantically attracted to each other?!?! Why not bring up that the two emerging rival leaders, who both loves their tribe and would do anything for their tribe, were able to set aside their differences and work together. Everything else is also overthinking.
I have to agree.
I noticed Sho'Nuff wasn't in this movie. "It's skinny little lizards like you, thinkin' they the last dragon that gives kung fu a bad name."
I never noticed these thing, but they all make sense🤯
I think the reasons that no one else was hunting gem pieces are:
1) Raya had the means to do it, ie, already being in possession of one of the pieces
2) People in the other kingdoms had a gem piece, so they were protected and there was no reason to venture outside of their own kingdom. The leaders were happy to look after their own and if one of the citizens had wanted to look for the other pieces then they would have had to steal the gem piece from their kingdom first which they probably couldn’t have done.
3) Not as big of a reason as lots of people probably had this too but Raya had the motivation to do it as well
I mean the romantical tension in between Namaari and Raya is immaculate
it’s the enemies to lovers tension
"You turned my father into stone and devided the land!!"
"sO hOw'S dInNeR aT eIgHt SoUnD?"
"yEa DaZ kEwL"
Gaslighting and betrayal is NOT a good ice breaker...
If Disney spent more time building a better background childhood friendship and gave Namaari an actual redemption arc by having her apologize for starting everything, THEN that would have set the ground for a potential relationship. Idk, friends to enemies to friends to lovers. But that didn't happen so... wasted potential.
Considering how horrible Namari was to Raya continuously and didnt apologise id be very very worried if she and Namari were a thing.
Or the cupping of hands is the people waiting for rain, something only dragons can provide, and the rain is what turns them back
As a Frozen fan, I recognize the similarity of the shipwreck remains in both movies 😂
Good movie. Good post apocalyptic fantasy.
I was also reminded of Infinity war. But the Drunn were even worse, because it was an ongoing threat...
This movie is amazing...I cried at the end
The woman who did Raya voice is so pretty
The character raya is pretty hot aswell, honestly everyone is hot, raya, the dad, namari, etc
I watched this movie and enjoyed it every now and then a good family animated movie pops up with a great simple story line
I’m 99.99% sure people who see them as a couple is be cause of Namaari ‘s hairstyle and the fact that they’re two strong female warriors. It’s funny how people make assumptions based on appearance. Aren’t we past that?
ali have you never heard of enemies to lovers or are you just mad people are intepreting this literal kids movie in their own way
@@Rose-xe4ct
Of course I’ve heard of that concept but it’s clear & obvious when it’s meant to be that, like in Avatar, 10 Things I hate About You, or Pride & Prejudice, to name a few. By the same token, there’s also a lot of movies where enemies just end up as friends, have you not heard of that?
Yeah, people may “interpret” this movie in which ever way they want. My point is that the assumption they’re a couple is based on appearance alone because the movie itself does no clearly imply that.
This movie was beautiful and carried important values, but it was not enough to hide the fact that the characters were pretty flat and the plot was a bit rushed.
I'm an adult and I didn't notice any of these things...
You are a great person
'possible love interest' that only adults see? my dude, the lgbtq community saw this coming for a while now.
You ain't lyin-
*NAMAARI IS DEFINITELY FRUITY 😏*
This movie was literally Infinity stones saga + Wizard of Oz with the recruitment along the way
And a bit of she-ra (2018)
And trolls 2- with the strings
Disney copied the Malice from Breath of the wild.The only difference is its name.(The Druun)And its coloration,Malice being red and black.Druun being purple and black.
At first I really noticed the plot is like how Thanos wiped out the half of the Universe, then how hulk Blipped everyone who has snapped
To me this movie has a lot of similarities with how Equestria from MLP is founded. From the episode "Hearth's Warming Eve". There is the main antagonist being created from the distrust, arguments, and then in the end a few of them get together, trusted and stayed together, then peace was restored. In general it was similar.
When i read the first few lines of the synopsis of this movie in Wikipedia , it kinda reminded me of How To Train Your Dragon ❤️
The movie, or the book? :DD
@@周可蕴 the movie actually , haven't finished the books yet. heheheh :'D
@@JoshuaG oooh they are both cool
Rayas dad looks like my dad with a bun😂🤣😂
Except there wasn't really any dragon body to find, washed all the way down the river, right? Raya had to perform a specific ritual at the location to manifest Sisu out of the water. Most people wouldn't go into the wreck of an old ship and randomly perform that ritual for a lost dragon.
I think that the reason no one went looking for Sisu in the five hundred years between her disappearance and the movie is because no one was desperate enough to make the effort.
I would have sworn the GOT storyline parallel was gonna come out here AND the Vikings hairstyling too.
Noi is a sad reality of many street children in the region, of course exaggerated for a kids movie’s comic relief. I’m conflicted about it becoming a comic relief, kinda glad they included it, but at the same time… idk. It’s complicated, but that’s maybe why Noi is my favorite character in the whole movie.
Finalmente um vídeo inglês que consegui entender por causa das legendas kkkkkkkk I'm from Brazil
Is it just me, but I feel a big plot hole in the movie is that the Druun are repelled by water and the dragon Pangu could make it rain... like that couldn't have been a tactic to fight the druun instead of becoming stone.
Call me crazy but... I think powers of the Dragon could be limited. Not only in "what they can do" (like make it rain but no other things) but also in how much and how long they can do it. In other words: that wouldn't really be lasting strategy...
I noticed that similarity between Avengers and Rays as well. Cool that you guys mentioned that too!
Me, a 12 year old realising all of this throughout the movie: maybe I'm a boomer
What I learned watching this video ?
If you have something in common with a person and you trust him = LGBT.
That is not what trust and having something in common means.
Love =/= trust and having things in common !
The first thing i saw was ‘Was that the next Avatar?’ 😂
"do you trust me?"
"i do"
ngl it takes all the fun away when ya analyze it this much
good observation tho
its funny how raya and her crew , when affected by the purple power they didnt end up doing the pose. why?
Maybe because they were willing to sacrifice to save their people, where other people were running away and they didn't?! Idk but thats what i think.
@@nomenetaniufafo6188 interesting. but that doesnt make sense cuz raya's dad sacrifice his life to save Raya also but he also does that pose when he turns to stone.
I would say that is because that they were touching another person, and also it makes that final scene very heartbreaking with them basically hugging, with Boon hugging Rayas leg
I would say that’s just to make it sadder
I think it was just a matter of taking some artistic liberty. They wanted to show the gangs trust in each other by having them close. It had more emotional impact that way.
I’ve noticed these even though I’m a kid. I also like how Raya and Namaari love each other
Druun is social media and people that turned to stone is just metaphor for people that being called out and cancelled.
And yes, I just making things up XD
Oh yes! That’s why they froze looking down! It was at their phones!
this got me thinking: so thats why you get "block"?! a block of stone? ....and i am also making things up or worse😂😂
I don't think age matters in regards to understanding this. I think it's worldliness and/or cultural background. :) Great video though!
The Dragon Gem in detailed view shows some cracks and seams similar to the disassembled parts in the movie's timeline.
Could that be a subtle hint that the gem might have been cracked in conflict once before?
I mean comparing raya to the endgame is kinda lame... Because before endgame Dragonball (a threat appears, humanity being wiped out, a group of fighters, the use of the dragonballs to bring back all the people they lost etc.) had a similar plot, just saiyan.
