Amazing! Great! Super! And something tells me you’re going to like this movie.

500 years ago, the people of Kumandra live harmoniously along side dragons. One day, the Druun, a monstrous plague erupted and the Druun turned people into stone. The dragons fought hard. They decided that all dragon magic would be cast into a gem. The last 5 dragons concentrated their power into the gem, decided that their youngest, Sisu, would stay alive, and they all died. Fast forward 494 years later. Kumandra is divided into 5 lands along the main Dragon River: Tail, a desert wasteland protected by harsh mercenaries, Talon, a floating market resembling a Thai one, famous for fast deals and many products, but you must watch out for con artists. Next is Spine, a cold boreal forest defended by Vikings in metal suits, Heart, the place where Raya comes from, and the land in possession of the Dragon gem, and Fang, an island with Egyptian-style people and architecture.

Chief Benja of Heart invites all the population of all the other lands to come to their place for lunch. Everything runs fine, till Fang breaks the Dragon Gem and everyone takes a piece, and the Druun rise again. 6 years later, Raya finds the Dragon in Tail. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

The Movie is amazing, like any other Disney film I have watched (except for Treasure Planet, perhaps). The execution of the film is just, amazing. Some guidelines to the Kumandran language:

Dep la – Best friend

Binturi – It’s an insult

Ba – Father

Toi – OH MY GOD

Draa – Dragon

See, It’s nice. Dep in Vietnamese means beautiful, so uh, hmmm, ok?

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The voice acting is amazing.

2.       The setting is so beautiful it does not feel like animation.

3.       The characters are super.

4.       The animation is đẹp.

5.       Overall, THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
