Raya and the Last Dragon is now broadcasting on Disney Plus: how to watch

Our fascination with dragons continues, but they are not the fierce fire breathers of Game of Thrones fame. Raya and the Last Dragon speaks of a world where humans and dragons lived in harmony. When monsters known as Druun threatened the land of Kumandra, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save the people. But now the Druun are back, and it’s up to Raya and a pill virus called Tuk Tuk to find the last surviving dragon and save the world. See what to know about the film and how to watch it.

How and when to watch

Although the film is released in some theaters, it will also air on Disney Plus – but even subscribers will have to pay an extra price for the first month of availability.

Disney Plus is now broadcasting Raya and the Last Dragon. Disney Plus subscribers must pay an additional $ 29.99 for Premier Access to watch the movie.
