I keep watching all this stuff and thinking, 'I must make a post about that, but I'll do it when I have more than one thing to post about.' And then when I have four or five things to post about, I realise it will take me about half an hour to actually write the post, so then I procrastinate and never do it. So, change of plan, and here goes the new idea of posting about only one thing at a time, short and sweet!
We watched Raya and the Last Dragon last night, somewhat behind the times, but I had no inclination to give money to Disney. Afterwards, the SO immediately christened it 'Raya and the Last Furry: Friendship is Magic'.
I mean, he's not wrong. There was something very My Little Pony-ish about it, and not just the central message. It was entirely predictable and formulaic, but it still managed to be entertaining the whole way through. I was never bored, and it felt shorter than its running time, and the cast was good. I just wished it had a little more of an edge to it. It was missing something of the attitude that Maui brought to Moana. Watched it, enjoyed it, won't go back to it.
