I don't understand why people are giving such bad reviews. This movie was amazing. Of course, the storyline is a little basic but basic plots don't always get productions this good. Especially because I'm a disney lover, I enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the songs they composed! I feel like the actors and actresses in this movie had such a fun time making it. I also loved the little easter eggs to some other disney movies. Amy Adams, even up to this day, is still so graceful and elegant. Though her "split personality" isn't the best acting I've seen, I thought it was very fun watching her do this. I'm so glad they made this second movie!!

I never had any expectations from Raya when I first heard about it. I expected an Encanto-like ending where the ending was a little too cheesy for my taste. But Raya I would say is a MUST WATCH (and i wish it was available outside of Disney+) I think what gave this movie so much more depth was the character development. Telling someone about how the story ends does not give it justice because the journey gave so much more meaning to the end. Not to mention, the cinematography and the details of the visuals is just UUGHHH, MY GOD! I love that they included imperfections because it only made the characters seem more realistic. What's disappointing is that this gave so much representation to Southeast Asian cultures but is difficult for Southeast Asians to gain access to this. I really wish they could all see this and learn to appreciate their cultures more.
