The 59th feature film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Raya and the Last Dragon, is due to be released this March, and with this particular feature the folks at WDAS are attempting to blend an epic fantasy story with themes, characters, and filmmaking that feel very modern and speak to the contemporary world we live in today. This according to those who made it, as Collider has the chance recently to interview Raya and the Last Dragon directors Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada and co-writer Qui Nguyen.
