What it's about

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together 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’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people.

Why 6

The Druun, a fear without a facePurple swarms that turn people to stone, the heroine's father among them, before her eyes, right at the start. No blood, but a threat that swallows everything and many scenes in the dark.
Many sword fightsRaya and her rival fight with blades, several times, with explosions and chases; this is an action film first.
A betrayal, screams, tauntsThe friend who betrays her in childhood, insults between the two, screaming in the battles. Nothing mean beyond that.

What the movie brings

Trusting someone who betrayed you: the film makes it its central question and holds it to the end.
A heroine who fights, doubts and repairs, with no prince and no song.
A world inspired by South-East Asia, colourful, with a dragon that makes little ones laugh.

Watching it together

Before

Warn that Raya's dad is turned to stone at the start, and say right away that we will find out at the end whether he comes back.

After

at 6 and up

Raya decides to trust Namaari when nothing proves she should: would you have done the same?
