Also, spoilers of Raya and the Last Dragon movie are a part of this post, this is a quick spoiler warning for all of you who don’t like spoiler content. Without delaying the post any more let us begin discussing the topic.
The movie is all about a character named Raya. Raya is from a mysterious place caller Kumandra and Raya is no ordinary character but a warrior. Raya’s sole goal in the movie is to search for a dragon and interestingly this dragon that Raya is looking for is the last one supposedly remaining in the world.

When is Raya and the Last Dragon Release Date?
Raya and the Last Dragon release date is 12 March 2021. This is an official release date announced by the production. But wait a minute, some fans of Walt Disney Animation Studio would have been expecting the movie to come out in 2020 only.
Well, all that has changed. It is true that initially it was announced that Walt Disney Animation Studio will be releasing Raya and the Last Dragon on 25 November 2020 but due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic situation it has been decided by Walt Disney Animation Studio to delay the release to the said date above next year. As we know Coronavirus pandemic is having a major hit on the situation worldwide and especially on the United States of America where people are dying like flies and still they are not ready to stay at home.
They would rather die in damn streets than stay at home which seems madness. Nonetheless, as of now, the delay is till March 2021, interesting thing to note here is no one knows when the Coronavirus pandemic will come to an end and how many more will die except the Almighty Allah, so if the virus doesn’t halt soon the movie could well be further delayed. Let us hope for the sake of the fans of Walt Disney Animation Studio that doesn’t happen and the movie is released on 12 March 2021 only.
