OK, let’s be real, who isn’t loving The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+?? Besides the anticipation the cliffhanger ending Avengers: Endgame gave us, we waited months for this series to finally debut.

Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon has taken off since its release on March 5th on Disney+ and in theaters! We have fallen in love with these characters, especially Raya’s iconic sidekick.
