Insufferable dialogue coming from the most unappealing character designs I've seen come out of a Disney production.

That this one came from said studio is quite baffling, as it simply looks bad. Everything is matte and gray, and even the sprawling vistas and nature are manage to be gray too. Every shot is just dark and muddy.

Not to mention that the, designed in a lab-designed, marketable, lovable sidekick is the cherry on top of this cynical cake.

Details

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people.
