Before we talk more about how Raya was made, can you tell us what strikes you most about this story?
I've spent three or four years on this film, and I want to create something that my team and I can be proud of. We know these films will probably outlast us, to be enjoyed by many generations to come, so there's a lot of love and care that we put into the storytelling. With so many curious questions, we spoke to Fawn Veerasunthorn, Head of Story, and Liza Rhea, an environment modeller, to discover more about the creative process, what was involved, and how they managed to pull off such an incredible animated masterpiece, all from home and during a global pandemic. It's a visual feast, and it's in cinemas, where available, and on Disney+ with Premier Access, from today, 5 March. There's even a new approach to costume design, as they use draping-based designs rather than the pattern-based ones of previous films. To fill this fantasy world, the Crowds Animation department animated more than 72,000 individual elements, including 18,987 human characters and 35,749 non-human characters. And the five Lands of Kumandra are distinct and filled with their own unique cultures and creatures. For instance, combat sequences throughout the film were inspired by martial art forms specific to Southeast Asia's cultures. There are so many fascinating stories behind the making of Raya.
