But the rest of the song can be heard in the music video for the track directed by one of the\u00a0<em>Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em> directors,\u00a0<strong>Carlos L\u00f3pez Estrada<\/strong>, when it\u2019s released next month. The song will also be featured in the end credits and\u00a0included on the official soundtrack, available digitally on <strong>February 26<\/strong>,<strong> 2021<\/strong>.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s where I direct some criticism that Disney might have heard a few times in the weeks leading up to the\u00a0<em>Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em> release. For a film proudly touting its first Southeast Asian princess, and which draws inspiration from the cultures of the region, it\u2019s curious that\u00a0<em>Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em>\u2018s big original song isn\u2019t by a Southeast Asian artist.\u00a0Aiko is a talented musical artist whose mixed ethnicity includes Japanese, Native-American, and Black, but other Southeast Asian artists might have been given the platform by Disney. Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna, who has collaborated with Usher in the past, has been suggested by fans. Or there\u2019s the wide variety of Filipino artists, or even artists of Filipino descent like Bruno Mars. It seems like a missed opportunity on Disney\u2019s part, especially after criticisms that the studio received for its mixed East Asian and Southeast Asian voice cast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kelly Marie Tran<\/strong>\u00a0leads the\u00a0cast as the titular warrior Raya; <strong>Awkwafina<\/strong> is the legendary dragon, Sisu;\u00a0<strong>Gemma Chan<\/strong>\u00a0voices Raya\u2019s nemesis, Namaari;\u00a0<strong>Daniel Dae Kim<\/strong>\u00a0is Raya\u2019s visionary father, Benja;\u00a0<strong>Sandra Oh<\/strong>\u00a0plays Namaari\u2019s powerful mother, Virana;\u00a0<strong>Benedict Wong<\/strong>\u00a0is Tong, a formidable giant;\u00a0<strong>Izaac Wang<\/strong>\u00a0is Boun, a 10-year-old entrepreneur;\u00a0<strong>Thalia Tran<\/strong>\u00a0is the mischievous toddler Little Noi;\u00a0<strong>Alan Tudyk<\/strong>\u00a0plays Tuk Tuk, Raya\u2019s best friend and trusty steed;\u00a0<strong>Lucille Soong<\/strong>\u00a0is Dang Hu, the leader of the land of Talon;\u00a0<strong>Patti Harrison<\/strong>\u00a0plays the chief of the Tail land; and\u00a0<strong>Ross Butler<\/strong>\u00a0is chief of the Spine land.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the film\u2019s official synopsis:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Raya and the Last Dragon takes us on an exciting, epic journey to the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons lived together long ago 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\u2019s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she\u2019ll learn that it\u2019ll take more than a dragon to save the world\u2014it\u2019s going to take trust and teamwork as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><em>Raya and the Last Dragon<\/em>\u00a0arrives in some theaters and will be available for Premier Access through Disney+ on\u00a0<strong>March 5<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
