Raya and the Last Dragon Arrives on Blu-ray {Giveaway}

Disney fans, did you catch “Raya and the Last Dragon” when it premiered on Disney Plus earlier this year? If not, here is your chance to own this family-friendly movie because it arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on May 18th!

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than dragon magic to save the world—it’s going to take trust as well.

“Raya and the Last Dragon” is packed with action, humor and heart! When I watched this film with my family, I couldn’t help but marvel at the colorful characters and the detailed scenery for each of the five kingdoms that Raya explores. Each land is named after a part of the dragon – Heart, Tail, Talon, Fang, and Spine – and all connected by the Dragon River.

As an Asian American mother of a teen daughter, I love the movie’s theme of female empowerment, friendship and family.

The film features the voices of Kelly Marie Tran (Sorry For Your Loss, Star Wars Franchise) as Raya, Awkwafina (Ocean’s Eight, Crazy Rich Asians) as Sisu, Daniel Dae Kim (The Good Doctor, Lost) as Benja, Gemma Chan (Captain Marvel, Crazy Rich Asians) as Namaari and Sandra Oh (Killing Eve, Grey’s Anatomy) as Virana.

The digital and physical releases of “Raya and the Last Dragon” will include never-before-seen bonus footage and deleted scenes.
