But that classic film would have been just as marred by replacing all the gravitas in the story with quipping.
The first is simply, “ Raya and the Last Dragon is Mulan - if every character were Mushu.” The recent live-action Mulan ruined what made a lot of the original so good by losing the fun. While watching the film and taking notes, I came up with two perfect encapsulations of what I was seeing and how I might be able to describe it later. Four of those lines were spoken by Raya herself. Describing how good a swimmer the character is:īefore you think, “well those were probably all from side characters”, let me disabuse you of that notion. “Well I’m the one wearing the fan necklace!” Two characters talking about how much they like dragons: I usually don’t like to spoil much about a movie, but to make my point, let me just share some of the actual dialogue in this film - remembering that I assumed we were getting something a lot more dramatic and profound than this. I really don’t know if I can articulate just how bad this film was measured against my expectations. Imagine going into a theatre to watch what you assume with be the next The Lord of the Rings, but getting the next A Troll in Central Park instead. Those of you who watched the rest of the trailers were much better prepared for the actuality of what we got. As someone who goes to the theatre a lot (pre-pandemic, of course) and who writes for an entertainment site, this has been inconvenient to say the least! But it has made my enjoyment of movies go up considerably.īut I may have just discovered a major downside.īased only on the original teaser, I went into Disney’s latest animated feature, Raya and the Last Dragon, expecting a Mulan-style fun-but-serious action adventure film set in a foreign land with a diverse cast. So I decided to only watch the first teaser trailer that comes out for any film. A few years ago I got tired of being spoiled by trailers that gave the entire plot away or revealed the best jokes during their two and a half minute runtimes.
