“We committed ourselves and all of our collaborators to do deep, deep research, community engagement, and constant collaboration with our cultural departments,” said co-director Carlos López Estrada.
To bring this world to life, artists took trips throughout Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Each region has its own topography, architecture, and personality, influenced by the countries of Southeast Asia. Raya is set in the fantasy world of Kumandra, which is split into five distinct dragon-inspired regions: Fang, Heart, Talon, Spine, and Tail. And the team behind the film did a significant amount of research to create a world that was at once vivid and fantastical - a world where dragons once roamed and where a fantasy villain could turn living beings into stone - while being realistically grounded in elements of Southeast Asian culture and geography.
Raya and the Last Dragon is Disney’s first animated feature starring characters of Southeast Asian descent.
