Raya and the Last Dragon poster

Why people love it

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) stuck because it commits to its animation premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Don Hall's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The animation and family blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
