I had no idea what the story was about, but the title seemed interesting. I watched it and was exited for most of the parts. It was a good story and I like the characters. Sadly though, this movie could have been even a lot better. For example the "mystery" around Kit was good and had so much potential, yet it seemed a bit... tame. I don't know how to put it in words. I could have been on the edge of my seat, but didn't. Maybe the movie is not a mystery, but it looks like it a bit. Also some scènes seemed to be cut off or something. It was not very smooth. The ending was a bit cringy for my taste.

I won't say it's a bad movie, I enjoyed it to watch it one time. But it lacks the former Disney magic to keep rewatching it.

What bothered me the most is that this is almost a feminist movie. I am a woman and I support more female roles, but this movie... there are three male characters who play a small role. All the main characters are female and it irritated me how obvious that was. I also thought that Raya is almost the same character as Moana. I see too many resembles on how she acts. I liked the dragon, she was fun. The con-baby was funny for a moment, but in the end I didn't like it at all. The scary man looks and acts familiar (Tangled?)

The story itself lacks the Disney magic. They try to be original, but the plottwist in the end is not very... wow. I didn't hate it, but it's not thought out very well. It has potential, but I had so many questions at the end.

The animation is pretty good though. I can say the landscapes are beautiful.

The music is fine, but it doesn't have a tune that will stick with you.

I can really recommend this movie to watch. It's such an epic story and the visuals are just stunning! The story keeps interesting till the end!
