So far the movie looks absolutely incredible! It’s different than anything the mouse house has made from their previous animated outings. I’m totally digging the Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider vibe it’s giving off. Raya and the Last Dragon is directed by Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada, with Paul Briggs and John Ripa co-directing. Osnat Shurer and Peter Del Vecho are the producers, and Qui Nguyen and Adele Lim are the writers.
