Disney's 'Raya and the Last Dragon' trailer receives mixed reactions on social media

Two trailers for Disney's upcoming film "Raya and the Last Dragon" have dropped – and the reactions have been mixed.

Set in the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons used to live in harmony, the Disney animated adventure centers on lone warrior Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran), faced with the return of the dangerous, monstrous Druun. To save the world, Raya has to find the mythical last dragon: the magical and self-deprecating Sisu (Awkwafina).

After the first trailer dropped Jan. 26 and another was shared on Sunday, viewers were quick to share their thoughts to social media, where reactions ranged from positive to pointing out some problems.

After the first trailer, some Twitter users pointed out an issue regarding representation in the casting. The film centers around Southeast Asian cultures, but the cast of Asian-American celebrities is made up of majority East Asian actors.

Southeast Asia is comprised of 11 countries, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The film's lead, Tran, is Vietnamese, but other cast mates are of Chinese and Korean descent, including Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Sandra Oh and Awkwafina.

"i like raya so far but dang it still has so much east asian influence.... and just look at the cast lol" user @studiogabli tweeted.

"A friendly reminder that actual South-East Asians are not thrilled for Raya and the Last Dragon. They basically put the whole region in a blender and hired so little south-east Asian actors for the roles," user @avamarga_ tweeted. "It sucks, it feels like Disney didn't care to respect us."

"somehow had a feeling that raya and the last dragon was going to channel more East Asian vibes than SEAsian and the casting isnt proving me wrong lol" user @tacojpg tweeted. "I’m all for asian rep in Hollywood but south East Asian flavour is VEERRRYYY different from East Asian just saying"

Some also took issue with the $29.99 streaming price.

"If the price point was a little lower I’d get it at drop ;(" user @misfitmal replied to the February trailer.

"@disneyplus isn’t getting me again after I paid for (Mulan). It’s not worth it at all. ✌🏽" user @theRIS3N tweeted Monday.

"Raya and the Last Dragon looks like an interesting film but not at that price tag," user @TheDGrimmett tweeted in January.

"Raya and the Last Dragon looks great. That price though!" user @BLKSAD1 tweeted.

"Okay so wait why was SOUL free but this ain’t???...this ain’t a good look" user @ThatKodo tweeted.

Others were generally excited about the film.

"I haven’t been this excited for a Disney movie since probably the premier of the incredibles 2. #RayaAndTheLastDragon" user @nkaliphodube tweeted.

"Hope this movie bangs. Tired of all the remakes happening Disney have been pumping out. Really excited to see this," user @3A30_ tweeted.

And some commented specifically on the film's look.

"Can we just take a moment and appreciate how BEAUTIFUL #RayaandtheLastDragon movie looks," user @steven_becerel tweeted.

"#RayaAndTheLastDragon NEW TRAILER DROPPED AND IM SCREAMING EVERYONE IS GORGEOUS????" user @jayydoodles tweeted.

"I AM CRYING LOOK AT HER SHE'S GORGEOUS," user @captlavenders tweeted.

"Raya and the Last Dragon" is set to hit theaters and start streaming on Disney+ on March 5.
