Yesterday's new poster heralded the arrival of the first trailer for Disney's upcoming animated adventure Raya and The Last Dragon, and it's now online.
The teaser gives us a first glimpse of Raya (Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Kelly Marie Tran) and her trusty sidekick Tuk Tuk (who starts out tiny before growing much bigger) in action as they infiltrate a trap-filled temple before coming face-to-face with a mysterious masked warrior.
Tran's voice-over tells us that Raya is a "guardian of the Dragon Gem," and must track down the last dragon - Sisu, voiced by Shang-Chi actress Awkwafina - to unite her people and restore peace to the land.
The premise isn't exactly original, but the trailer is undeniably impressive! Check it out below and let us know what you think.
The brief synopsis tells us that, "Raya and her trusty steed Tuk Tuk must leave their Heart Lands home and track down the last dragon to help stop the villainous Druun."
Raya and the Last Dragon is directed by Don Hall (Big Hero 6) and Carlos López Estrada (Blindspotting), with a script co-written by Qui Nguyen and Adele Lim. The movie is set to hit theaters on March 12, 2021.
