Disney’s latest animated feature film was supposed to be released on November 25th, but the release date was pushed back to March 12th, 2021 due to the global health crisis. We recently got a first look at the art for the movie, and now a full trailer for Raya and the Last Dragon has arrived!
The new trailer gives us a peek of what we can expect when lone warrior Raya, voiced by Star Wars‘ Kelly Marie Tran, must go on a mission to track down the legendary last dragon to save the world of Kumandra and unite its lands. You can watch the trailer right here!

For the most part every article I’ve seen about the trailer refers to Tuk Tuk as an armadillo or “armadillo-like animal”. I have no way of verifying this at all but I’m completely convinced that Tuk Tuk is actually based on a Pangolin.
They actually are native to Asia (unlike armadillos which only exist wild in South America and the southern parts of North America) they have armor plates, AND almost every remaining species of pangolin are severely endangered (and everyone knows that Disney LOVES to cash in on the animal conservation angle whenever possible, which I’m 100% ok with because it DOES help the animals).
Also the animation of Tuk Tuk just resembles a pangolin SO much more than almost every type of armadillo, if you really look closely at comparison photos, particularly in the facial features.
All that said, Tuk Tuk’s snout/nose is way too flat to REALLY look like EITHER, anddddd he appears to have antennae?? But also fur?
So while I am personally convinced he’s at least INSPIRED by pangolins I have to acknowledge that the whole movie is set in a fictional world BASED on South East Asia, which makes it entirely possible for Tuk Tuk to be a brand new Disney-created mythical creature with no actual relationship to ANY earthly animal 🤣
I’m still putting my money on pangolin, BUT I’m SO EXCITED to find out whether or not I’m right EITHER WAY!!❤❤❤
When “Raya and the Last Dragon 🐉” comes out on the 12th day of March, will it premier in movie 🍿 theaters first and then go to Disney Plus streaming 3 or 4 months after?
Sebastian, I think that’s what they’re planning for now, but depending on conditions, it could change.
