The Best Raya and The Last Dragon Quotes and Positive Lessons For The Whole Family

My family and I loved Raya and The Last Dragon. This Disney movie is a must-see for the whole family.

Elyssa, Eliana, Elydia and I watched it at home (it’s available on Disney+ with Premier Access – and it’s worth every penny!).

Elisha went to the movie theater (physically distancing and wearing a mask) with our family (best) friend, Trent.

There are definitely a lot of positive lessons we can learn and discuss from watching Raya and The Last Dragon as a family.

And don’t be misled because it was completely produced and animated remotely, because wow…

The animation alone makes Raya and The Last Dragon a masterpiece.

There’s plenty of action and heart in this Disney movie … and lots of girl power!

About Raya and The Last Dragon

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony.

But when a sinister force divide the people and threaten to eliminate human race, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.
