@@clarencetse uh pretty sure this is a Southeast Asian representation film (confirmed by Disney already, not the representation part, but they've confirmed it is a SOUTH EAST ASIAN film)- Southeast Asia is a region that's been colonised by many countries in the past and have been influence by other countries, Vietnam having been colonised by China for 1000 years, the Philippines by the Spanish for around 400 years, and other countries adopted Indian cultural aspects but made them their own. That's why you see some other influence- but don't let that deceive you! It's distinctively Southeast Asian, from the characters to the landscape, from tools to cities.
@@clarencetse pretty sure they already said that's it's about SEA (Southeast Asian) so maybe you could edit your comment to make it a bit more correct?
they’re definitely right about the asian mothers and aunties being strong. in fact, they’re one of the fiercest, strongest human beings on earth😩🤚🏻 mentally and physically ofc
Raya is soooo GOOD! I watched Raya yesterday and I cry!! can't believe this movie was producing, animating, and voice acting from home, not in a studio, and created by more than 400 people, just wow. also, I'm Indonesian, Raya means 'Great' in Indonesia :)
People in this chat ..this from indonesia....this from philippines...and na na na ..i just wanna say they're our culture i mean ASEAN culture ..we are family .we share the same things
Im filipino and im not like bragging about our country because we are proud of our country i know that other countries are some racist but this will start another issue , disclamer what written here is not to offend you but if youre offended im really sorry .
this film is like representing us ASEAN as one, but i'm mad how ASEAN countries turned a blind eye on Myanmar. we continue to ignore Myanmar people's suffering.
ASEAN love to criticized instead of helping.. last time only Malaysia - Indonesia - Philippines - Singapore who raised concern over Myanmar issues & condemn the military.. then what Myanmar neighbours do? Thailand is just border by land with Myanmar, all the do is keep silent because they are kinda 'similar'.. Vietnam is considered as huge power in SEA Mainland, i don't see they do something for Myanmar.. Cambodia seems not interested with any problem that happened in ASEAN, they only care about Thailand claims & cultures.. all i can say, Maritime Southeast Asia were braver than Mainland..
It's sad when you've had the name Raya for 20 years now, finally when there is a Disney princess with your name that seems so cool and you can't go watch it in a cinema with friends.
Well, I don't think there isn't much in this for the Peenoise to claim (aside from the fact that the Philippines IS an Asian country and IS in Southeast Asia, thus having traces of SEA culture it continues to disregard for the white man (if not murder outright through its Hispanized military thugs)) so......
About the origin of raya, adele lim admitted that her movie had taken inspiration from the real story of two bravest vietnamese female generals: Trung Trac and Trung Nhi. Raya and nimaara are actually inspired by these 2 historical figure.
Only Namaari sucks. She's an abuser and gaslighter. She didn't even apologise for bringing the Druuns or killing Sisudatu. And fans even ship her and Raya. Disgusting.
In Bahasa Indonesia "Raya" means The Great or Big. If you add affix on "Raya" it will become "Perayaan" which means Celebration. In Indonesia we call Great Britain with "Britania Raya" & Indonesia National Anthem is "Indonesia Raya" Raya's sword is Keris, traditional dagger from Indonesia. But in Raya it looks much bigger. It more similar to Naga Puspa Sword (literally means dragon flower sword) that appears in indonesia's historycal soap-opera with the same title. I think Kumandra isnt fully fictional world. I think it inspired from term of "Nusantara" where lot of nations in Southeast Asia once lived together as one in harmony & peace. You can read History about Sriwijaya & Majapahit kingdom.
Raya in tagalog can defined as hiraya which means highest, highness. iraya- north, high hilaga- north ilaya- north hiraya manawari - highest imagination
And the word "YAH" is I AM in hebrew which means the creator... if u do read the bible you will see a lot of the "I AM" words in scriptures so the word and the name of RAYA is very powerful and symbolic Praise YAH!! HA-LE-LU-YAH
@@ginreothebdumneos2334 yes here in quezon province, when the older says go to ilaya/iraya it means go to north, many places here name ilaya, like ilayang iyam and ibabang iyam, ilayang dupay and ibabang dupay etc.
It try show the originality and the roots of south east asian woman and people. I just glad they still willing to make a disney princess from another different culture
Some buildings and clothes, Even some foods are inspired from the thai culture. The funny fact is that they call Raya‘s animal companion Tuk Tuk. And what brought me to tears is when Raya summoned Sisu with pouring the water in golden cup. My mom and I always used to did it when we pray in the temple.
Raya to me is like the first Asian female character I’ve seen produced in a western culture that didn’t look like she was unconsciously or consciously inspired to look or feel Chinese. It’s so new to me!
Well actually i was distracted by the east asian influences featured in it such as Sakura flower, vietnam alone is very different from most other southeastasian countries, its cultural background is closer to China's
@@___queueue7707 Ya sorry that was a random side note/thinking. Was mostly thinking/commenting out loud how People kept saying/mentioning Moana & Mulan with Raya & I was like...... Wait....
I think some people from "northern" SEA countries have brighter skin tone (Vietnamese, Cambodia, lao, thai, myanmar) meanwhile some people from equatorial have brown skin tone (brunei, indonesia, Malaysia, singapore) and "southern" SEA have more darker skin tone (timor leste, papua-Indonesia)
@@___queueue7707 actually,the sakura trees your mentioned might "Wild Himalayan Cherry" SEA countries such as Thailand,Myanmar have these also India and China.
South East Asia today is not the same as it was 1000 years ago. There is a large Chinese expat population in Southeast Asia and China has been expanding south for many years. So the looks aren't as distinct today as they used to be. But also, there have been a lot of similarities across Asian cultures as they are all part of an Asian cultural sphere. The issue is that a lot of those cultural elements, such as martial arts, get identified exclusively as Chinese. There were also Asian dragons in other cultures outside of China as well, but again the ones in China are the most well known and famous.
Too bad, Actually the Philippines has been assumed to be Luzon, which is too westernized and christianized, and have lost it's true south east asian touch/culture compared to Mindanao which have preserved their pre colonial, exotic culture the same as nearby countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.
look at the screenshot at 4:46 the way they put prints on cloth. you see that a lot in visayas/mindanao. maybe you're not just as educated with filipino culture. or worse, maybe you think your local province is the entirety of the philippines? hindi lahat ng lugar parang maynila.
tracing our ancestry back to pre-colonial period, I would say as a Filipino I definitely saw and felt the representation in the movie. Besides, even up to these days, Filipinos share bits and bits if not most of culture, norms, and traits with the rest of the region.
I am Vietnamese, and I saw Philippine culture here the martial art. I also saw other martial arts like Vovinam from Vietnam, Muay Thai, and Pancatsilak from Indonesia
In the movie, a couple of the tribes are headed by women. In South East Asia, the Minangkabau of Sumatera Indonesia and Negeri Sembilan Malaysia till today still practices Adat Perpatih which is a type of women/matrilineal system. Their tribes' heritage land ( tanah pusaka adat) is passed from mother to daughters only. Cool that somehow it is reflected in the film
Iya.orang itu aku sendiri.aku ratu ALMAHDI/PUTRI ALMAHDI/IMAM MAHDI aku cucu NABI MUHAMMAD SAW.yang berasal dari minang kabau,batak,aceh.dan datuk parpatih SRI MAHARAJO itu kakek moyangku dan gelar beliau syarief.
The architecture of Minangkabau people houses resemble the house carvings on Vietnam's bronze drums. There is also a theory that some Trung sisters' followers made out to the sea and escaped to reach the land of W. Sumatra. Of course, such theory might not be proven.
I love this movie so so much! Growing up the only asian princess I could connect with in terms of physical appearance was Mulan and then Moana, a polynesian princess came out, and she was tan with dark hair which I loved. FINALLY we have a south east asian princess : ' ) Props to the research team that travelled around to really understand the different countries and cultures involved, this movie has reminded me so much of home and makes me wanna go back ~~
Personally I think the South East Asian influence in this film is made up largely by Thai culture, with bits of Laotian/Cambodian/ Javanese tucked in some scenes. Only reference to Vietnamese culture is how Raya called her father by the word “Ba”, which is used mainly in Central/Southern Vietnam Anyway you can’t expect to put in every cultural details of like 10 countries into a 100 minute Disney movie
The movie isn’t largely made up from thai culture. Thai and Cambodian cultures are very similar. I think you made this statement because Thai is more known.
In any form of culture, I love all. Cos once we do not trust each other, we will still be divided and become weak. So ASEAN needs be to United as one.😊 Peace♥️
Lao/Thai/Cambodian are essentially cousins we came from the Tai people that migrated South from Southern China. Through marriage and war we share the same lineage. People just say Thai for everything because...it's complicated. Thai hands are not clean.
Most us southeast asian are mad because they mashed up our cultures together when it's totally different, each of us has unique stories and cultures, and disney + isnt available in most sea countires
@@claudesantiago2874 well in here the locals enjoyed it too but mostly my friends are films enthusiast and the indo critic's the only complains they're saying is the mashed se asia cultures
Perhaps it's a kalis then? Kalis is a larger and heavier version of that which was developed in the philippines when they traded with indonesia. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I just watched the movie, and I loved it. It was so compelling, so dramatic, so epic... I cried, I laughed. That climax was a masterpiece. The story is beautiful and it's so relevant to our times. The characters are fantastic, they're interesting and complex. The cinematography is astonishing, the fights scenes are amazing, I cannot believe this was all done from home.
I love how south east asian countries share so much culture with India. The word raya literally means great, fast and rays of light in sanskrit. And the mythical naga is also an Indian concept. The architecture and embroidery is so rich in both cultures. I did a bit of research and found thai traditional sabai so similar to the saree and also the traditional clothes in Bali. The cultures are just like siblings. Lots of love to Asean countries.
@@Lee-dr2im Its very bad. Nothing can be worse than avatar but it is a strong oponent. Even the acting is bad. It feels emotionless and like they are just reading the scrypt the whole movie.
Its really nice to see my exact skin colour was used for Raya😥 Since SEA beauty standard is fair skin. Most shows that have princesses, are mostly fair, its saddddd!!!
raya's beauty character and culture reminds me of a brave women chieftain who fought for peace and freedom against spanish western colonization in the philippines.
she sounds very cool !! imo, raya reminds me of martha christina tiahahu who leads a war against the netherlands (i think thats what its called) while shes only 17! she looks very similar to her tho so thats v cool :]
Before i see the movie many filipinos that i see in the comment said "wow the martial art is arnis, from philippines". But when i see the movie fully, wow Raya uses indonesian martial art called pencak silat in her fighting style!
Might as well use the whole indonesia than using just filipino weapons....tbh as a filipino I don't feel represented much, like congrats to Southeast asia except Philippines, Timor leste and the other not well known guys

me: simply laughing while reading arguments about the cultural basis of the movie in the comment section when in fact the movie was based on all SEA cultures. hey, stop arguing.
Its cool how the movie wasn’t recorded and worked on in a studio. I literally love this movie and Raya and the last dragon is now my favorite🥺 It just makes me feel so happy seeing south east asian culture and everything.
@@himasekiwari155 but didnt they include philippine landmarks in the movie, the fangs are actually very filipino to me and even some of the food, also it's not that easy to include some culture from the philippines since our culture pretty much shares a lot of things in common with other sea countries, skin color, weapon, name, words, clothing(pre colonization to be exact) and myths about rain and water even the love for food which gives us peace by eating together... but seriously i pretty much sea tons of filipino culture in it it's just that some of them is commonly shared in SEA
My favorite part is when everything was already loosing their hope, raya's the one who stepped up. Even if those people can no longer be trusted and hurt her many timesI she still gives her hope and trust. really got emotional on that part :( to all people who has trust issues! Just grasp the thought there is "hope" and "forgiveness".
The Word "Naga"... Yes. Dragon in my Myanmar language is " Naga". I'm itty bitty proud. I always wanted to be a part of animation someday..but since seeing this movie gives me more Inspiration.. I have more courage to become one to represent.
Naga means dragon too in Bahasa (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei). We,SEA nations share many similar words. This movie is doing great in representing SEA cultures. Yes..Be proud of your cultures as it is embodies who you are.
I love that Disney has brought out Raya, a Southeastern Asian-inspired animation! Finally, something that my future children can relate to and be proud of the eastern Asian background!
I felt like i was at home when i watch raya all of the culture and art i was familiar with. Its amazing how much similarities we south east asian have in common to the food we eat and the language we speak.
I saw a Filipino in this movie like The Rice Terraces in Fang, The big Spoon and fork on the kitchen, The Charcoal Stove, Sundak (Sword), Salakot (Farmer's hat) , Our Martial Arts called Kalis (Raya and fathers fought scenes) Some of Talon clothing and houses windows and walls. Lansones our very own.Theres a lot.
Don't push it too hard! They clearly say that iskrima is the only reference for the Philippines that's why they produce a tagalog theme song to lure pinoys.
same... Only Thai-Muslim Especially in the southern that know this word So I think it should be more of a Malaysian or Indonesian word. งงเลย เขาค้นมาจากไหน ถึงได้คิดว่าเป็นคำไทย555 อะไรที่ไม่ใช่ของเราก็อย่าช่วยเคลมแทนได้มั้ยยยย
so they just mixed many cultures from southeast asia together? I see.. that’s why the design looks so all over the place. you wouldn’t do this if it were europe or other continents would you? so think about it. edit: ok let me say this again. they might do it even if it were europe or other cultures. im glad to see SEA representation and im not asking for a movie for each country. but the way they grouped our cultures together just doesn’t feel right to me because despite all of our similarities and connections, our cultures can vary a lot and each one is unique. feels weird idk.
they even use lantern!!!! lantern only exist in chinatown.. its a part of east asian culture. in 16th century southeast asian didn;t even have paper to write with, much less making paper lantern like those east asian. recorded by many traveller including the one from china. they use torch. not one period movies or drama in southeast asia ever use paper lantern its always torch
@@angelabby2379 actually lantern appear alot in the Hoi An ancient town tho. And lantern make out of fabric too, not only paper. And the lantern start to appear around the 16th century.
Well yes but Vietnam is part of the sinosphere is would be obvious that they practise that. We aren't even discussing about what time period they are basing it on, or just modern stuff, thus anachronism will exist, even if it is a fictional world, including cultures should also take into account nuances in eras, unless you are okay with guns fighting off people with sticks and stones (that still happens irl but I digress)
... what culture is that? "Asian" could be any of hundreds of distinct cultures among dozens of countries... this movie just put them in a blender and made Avatar: the last air bender out of them.
anything was better than white made "mulan" stereotyping china. yeah like they can't bring chinese team to make chinese film.... and they can't draw reference from like 100 drama or movies depicting accurate clothing from the time period nope...
I watched this when it released on Disney+ my older brother pays for the service and my little cousin wanted to watch the movie so my brother paid the $30 to watch it and I really liked it
Raya is simply name surrounding Singapore jakarta and Thailand.. it's also used across indonesia. This name implies this big beautiful places. Thailand Singapore and indo. All of vietnamese culture also
Everyone keep saying "Ohh they use pencak silat ... it's from Indonesia"... actually no. its not only from Indonesia, that from the Malay archipelago, including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia ..and Pencak Silat belong to the Malay archipelago, not only Indonesia... Let's fix the usual and used the right one
Malay archipelago isn't a specific place where is it come from after I've read the origins of pencak silat it's originated from Minangkabau and Sundanese cultures. And Malaysia,Brunei Darussalam,or Singapore didn't had Sundanese cultures so it's specifically from Indonesia.
@@azkafahmi8394 it is also inaccurate information .. you must associate also with geography at that time and it includes the Malay Archipelago not just by taking into the Minangkabau and Sudanese culture
@@hugoandhika maybe you need to find more in -depth information and not just from one source ... and you also need to differentiate between pencak silat and silat ... as someone who brings the knowledge of pencak silat I admit that many people do not differentiate between pencak silat and silat. ..
@@hugoandhika however ... I hope westerners can see us Southeast Asians better ... this is because we have a unique and harmonious culture ... we are not weak, we just not showing our strength ... we also have great legends that will not be understood by outsiders except ourselves ...
As a Malaysian. I am thrilled when seeing some familiar faces like my friends in few characters. And Awkwafina is the main reason I am watching this. She still so sexy with her deep voice
The authors did not visited Philippines for they're own reason. Since the author/host of this video never mentioned Philippines was visited by the authors of the movie. However they still put effort to include Philippine culture in the movie. You can basically notice those in the movie but some are so common to all of us as Southeast Asian people. Love this movie anyway.
As someone from the Northern Philippines, I think Moana is more related to our culture than Raya although there are lot also in this movie😅 But in Moana it relates me more with the islands' coconuts, farm animals, symbolic tattoos, Igorot clothing, voyagers, like of singing, the mythologies, characters having beautifully brown too, shapely bodies with curly hair and cute little noses, among others. Unlike here in Raya which mostly relates to Indic culture of the mainland southeast asia with a bit of maritime southeast asian culture.
@@omnisciencexx790 You're right but I am also right. Read this: The Austronesian Migration Theory: propounds on the expansion of a group of people called the Austronesians from ASIA into the PACIFIC by means of Taiwan 6,000 years ago.
After watching this great movie, I looked for the movie's background which I didn't understand yet. Some things I found: the RAYA character could be Vietnamese female warrior(s) legend, the name RAYA, like in "Indonesia Raya" (Indonesian National anthem), means "Great Indonesia", so it may as an inspiration reflecting to Great Female Warrior. And yes, the martial art styles are derived from pencak silat & muay thai. While the costume seems derived from Vietnam & Thailand cultures, And Raya's main weapon is Keris (famous traditional Indonesian Javanese weapon). I thought those four countries touches are dominant in it, but no, it turns out a story describing the southeast Asia (ASEAN) cultures as life background. What a great collaborative work with nice compound of materials & sources.
The culture in Southeast Asia is very diverse: on mainland Southeast Asia, the culture is a mix of Burmese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Thai (Indian) and Vietnamese (Chinese) cultures. While in Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia the culture is a mix of indigenous Austronesian, Indian, Islamic, Western, and Chinese cultures. Also Brunei shows a strong influence from Arabia. Vietnam and Singapore show more Chinese influence[139] in that Singapore, although being geographically a Southeast Asian nation, is home to a large Chinese majority and Vietnam was in China's sphere of influence for much of its history. Indian influence in Singapore is only evident through the Tamil migrants,[140] which influenced, to some extent, the cuisine of Singapore. Throughout Vietnam's history, it has had no direct influence from India - only through contact with the Thai, Khmer and Cham peoples. Moreover, Vietnam is also categorized under the East Asian cultural sphere along with China, Korea, and Japan due to a large amount of Chinese influence embedded in their culture and lifestyle. -Wikipedia-
At the end of the day, no matter how you said oh this film is not Filippino enough, not Myanmar enough,...etc or even exclude Vietnam is not SEA enough, y'all have to be proud that finally we have a Disney movie represents SOUTH EAST ASIA. That's the most important thing to say. The end.
@ArMoaGene tuktuk is vehicle in thailand the writer is from vietnam the team research went to the mainland asean, the only filipino contribution is escrima or arnis
@@phyaoi7185 "please save the moment"? Why would you suggest to someone to suppress their happy moment on what we ALL south east Asians should celebrate in unity? and no, those are not the only 2 contributions from our country Philippines (unless you're an official part of the movie's production team to confirm this) . I know this because I have friends who actually helped brought this movie to life. So don't act too certain about that "fact" (only 2 yeah riiight). The whole movie itself is SEA inspired. All our respective countries has a similar version of what this Fantasy movie was inspired from. And these similarities are what connects us as a whole. I pray that parents, kids and the rest of the world would just see one Kumandra :)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't think they travelled to Philippines. Maybe mainly because there are already so many historian Filipinos here in USA (aminin natin, Marami tayong kababayan sa buong mundo *wink* ) they didn't need to. And I mean that in a good way :)
No harm done! South East Asia have so many countries.... and they tried to incorporate everything in one movie! They can always add Asian Princess and another movie for it 🤷🏻♀️
Raya is surely not Filipina but shared cultural similarities due to interaction between countries during Malayo-Polynesian bonding period, So does the martial arts,, weaponry,, traditional hats etc.... I admire vietnamese female fighters both modern and legendary... Let's appreciate them all

Sorry, the voice acting thing - To me, recording from home is a normal thing. That's how my audioplays have been made. It's wierd to me that it's wierd to them, but it explains some of the sound quality. Not bashing, just glad to have an answer haha. Nothing wrong with recording from home, that's how people are getting their practice in nowadays before, if they do, they get into professionalism. Every time I get talked to about my audioplays and they say they're interested, they ALWAYS say "But I can't travel over there/I don't have access to a sound studio" and I'm just like "Mate if your phone mic is not buzzy or staticy and it's fine, because I use my IPad, then cool! Do it in your wardrobe! I'm not expecting Blue Yeti 25166352 whatever mics! Just please don't whisper your audition like your mother's asleep in the next room.".
In Indonesia "RAYA" means "great / big".... I think it's similar with malaysia, brunei and singapore (SEA countries that speak melayu)... For example indonesia raya/ great indonesia (national anthem), hari raya / great day, pasar raya / big market, kaya raya / super rich, etc...
Lebuhraya (Highway), Bandar raya (City), pasar raya (supermarket), bunga raya (Hibiscus), perayaan (celebration), hantu raya (idk what's the English name for it), pilihan raya (elections).
The Indonesian National Anthem is "Indonesia RAYA" in Indonesia there are thousands of tribes who have united to become Nusantara, it's the same as kumandra
Iam so happy and proud for Once Disney movie represent South East Asia !!!! I am fram Thailand and I cannot be more proud and enjoy the movie so much !! Weldone Dosney dod a good job on Naga Myth 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕
This movie reflects the real world a lot like how Southeast Asians are constantly arguing with each other and claiming the culture to be their own or accusing other SEA countries of stealing/copying their culture when in reality we all came from the same ancestors and we were once all family and the same(we still are) if we stop this greedy monster in us right now we might become whole again.

ASEAN countries dont interfere with each others internal affairs. Outside interferance will make things worse. Mtanmar has to solvr this on their own.
ASEAN love to criticized instead of helping.. last time only Malaysia - Indonesia - Philippines - Singapore who raised concern over Myanmar issues & condemn the military.. then what Myanmar neighbours do? Thailand is just border by land with Myanmar, all the do is keep silent because they are kinda 'similar'..

Yes! maybe because they always seeking validation and recognition 🤔 this behaviour sometimes so irritating.
Well, I don't think there isn't much in this for the Peenoise to claim (aside from the fact that the Philippines IS an Asian country and IS in Southeast Asia, thus having traces of SEA culture it continues to disregard for the white man (if not murder outright through its Hispanized military thugs)) so......
Top Coment wit claim is Indonesia and Philipines
About the origin of raya, adele lim admitted that her movie had taken inspiration from the real story of two bravest vietnamese female generals: Trung Trac and Trung Nhi. Raya and nimaara are actually inspired by these 2 historical figure.
yeah who used pencak silat to fight LOL
Nimaara used Muay Thai, and the movie IS about southest asia, its not like you cant learn other countries' martial arts to fight with
@@trangl.m.3379 I mean its not a bad thing, raya's tribe clothing also similar to traditional java's
Only Namaari sucks. She's an abuser and gaslighter. She didn't even apologise for bringing the Druuns or killing Sisudatu. And fans even ship her and Raya. Disgusting.
In Bahasa Indonesia "Raya" means The Great or Big. If you add affix on "Raya" it will become "Perayaan" which means Celebration. In Indonesia we call Great Britain with "Britania Raya" & Indonesia National Anthem is "Indonesia Raya"
Raya's sword is Keris, traditional dagger from Indonesia. But in Raya it looks much bigger. It more similar to Naga Puspa Sword (literally means dragon flower sword) that appears in indonesia's historycal soap-opera with the same title.
I think Kumandra isnt fully fictional world. I think it inspired from term of "Nusantara" where lot of nations in Southeast Asia once lived together as one in harmony & peace. You can read History about Sriwijaya & Majapahit kingdom.
I am totally 100% agree with this

Raya in tagalog can defined as hiraya which means highest, highness.
iraya- north, high
hilaga- north
ilaya- north
hiraya manawari - highest imagination
sooo you’re filipino to huh? cuz i’m filipino to!
(if you are one!....)
And the word "YAH" is I AM in hebrew which means the creator... if u do read the bible you will see a lot of the "I AM" words in scriptures so the word and the name of RAYA is very powerful and symbolic Praise YAH!! HA-LE-LU-YAH
Raya in Malay and Indonesian could be translated into great, grand, large, or big.
Ohh so that's what iraya means...my parents call the place we live in as Iraya and I didn't know why
@@ginreothebdumneos2334 yes here in quezon province, when the older says go to ilaya/iraya it means go to north, many places here name ilaya, like ilayang iyam and ibabang iyam, ilayang dupay and ibabang dupay etc.
It try show the originality and the roots of south east asian woman and people. I just glad they still willing to make a disney princess from another different culture
"They are female, but its not their soul defining trait"
my fellow SEAsian sure are Based
Classic Disney Animated Movies and Pixar Animated Movies were the Best Animated Movies
The Sticks That Raya holds are called "Arnis" from the Philippines The Moves Are Pretty Accurate On what people do so It's Really Decent To Watch
Yes, Eskrima and kali have been used extensively in many action films..
Arnis is a martial use in various weapon not just the stick adn also hand to hand combat
Some buildings and clothes, Even some foods are inspired from the thai culture. The funny fact is that they call Raya‘s animal companion Tuk Tuk.
And what brought me to tears is when Raya summoned Sisu with pouring the water in golden cup. My mom and I always used to did it when we pray in the temple.
Raya to me is like the first Asian female character I’ve seen produced in a western culture that didn’t look like she was unconsciously or consciously inspired to look or feel Chinese. It’s so new to me!
Well actually i was distracted by the east asian influences featured in it such as Sakura flower, vietnam alone is very different from most other southeastasian countries, its cultural background is closer to China's
@@___queueue7707 Ya sorry that was a random side note/thinking. Was mostly thinking/commenting out loud how People kept saying/mentioning Moana & Mulan with Raya & I was like...... Wait....
I think some people from "northern" SEA countries have brighter skin tone (Vietnamese, Cambodia, lao, thai, myanmar) meanwhile some people from equatorial have brown skin tone (brunei, indonesia, Malaysia, singapore) and "southern" SEA have more darker skin tone (timor leste, papua-Indonesia)
@@___queueue7707 actually,the sakura trees your mentioned might "Wild Himalayan Cherry" SEA countries such as Thailand,Myanmar have these also India and China.
South East Asia today is not the same as it was 1000 years ago. There is a large Chinese expat population in Southeast Asia and China has been expanding south for many years. So the looks aren't as distinct today as they used to be. But also, there have been a lot of similarities across Asian cultures as they are all part of an Asian cultural sphere. The issue is that a lot of those cultural elements, such as martial arts, get identified exclusively as Chinese. There were also Asian dragons in other cultures outside of China as well, but again the ones in China are the most well known and famous.
When their combat style combined Indonesia, (Pencat Silat) Thailand (Muay Thai) and Arnis from Philippines! 💪 ♥️

Raya And The Last Dragon is an animated effort of compelling, action-packed story and an allegory about how our brokenness separates us.
My friends watched it and saw no Filipino influence but arnis. I guess the movie is more Vietnamese/Malay/Indonesian/Thai.

@@Natasha-to1mh They could only fit in so much in one movie...
look at the screenshot at 4:46 the way they put prints on cloth. you see that a lot in visayas/mindanao. maybe you're not just as educated with filipino culture. or worse, maybe you think your local province is the entirety of the philippines? hindi lahat ng lugar parang maynila.
tracing our ancestry back to pre-colonial period, I would say as a Filipino I definitely saw and felt the representation in the movie. Besides, even up to these days, Filipinos share bits and bits if not most of culture, norms, and traits with the rest of the region.
I am Vietnamese, and I saw Philippine culture here the martial art. I also saw other martial arts like Vovinam from Vietnam, Muay Thai, and Pancatsilak from Indonesia
In the movie, a couple of the tribes are headed by women. In South East Asia, the Minangkabau of Sumatera Indonesia and Negeri Sembilan Malaysia till today still practices Adat Perpatih which is a type of women/matrilineal system. Their tribes' heritage land ( tanah pusaka adat) is passed from mother to daughters only. Cool that somehow it is reflected in the film
Iya.orang itu aku sendiri.aku ratu ALMAHDI/PUTRI ALMAHDI/IMAM MAHDI aku cucu NABI MUHAMMAD SAW.yang berasal dari minang kabau,batak,aceh.dan datuk parpatih SRI MAHARAJO itu kakek moyangku dan gelar beliau syarief.
Yes i am minang and proud being a bad guy 😼
The architecture of Minangkabau people houses resemble the house carvings on Vietnam's bronze drums. There is also a theory that some Trung sisters' followers made out to the sea and escaped to reach the land of W. Sumatra. Of course, such theory might not be proven.
I love this movie so so much! Growing up the only asian princess I could connect with in terms of physical appearance was Mulan and then Moana, a polynesian princess came out, and she was tan with dark hair which I loved. FINALLY we have a south east asian princess : ' )
Props to the research team that travelled around to really understand the different countries and cultures involved, this movie has reminded me so much of home and makes me wanna go back ~~
Personally I think the South East Asian influence in this film is made up largely by Thai culture, with bits of Laotian/Cambodian/ Javanese tucked in some scenes. Only reference to Vietnamese culture is how Raya called her father by the word “Ba”, which is used mainly in Central/Southern Vietnam
Anyway you can’t expect to put in every cultural details of like 10 countries into a 100 minute Disney movie
If you look at the food they eat, you can see some Vietnamese dishes (especially in the credit arts)
The movie isn’t largely made up from thai culture. Thai and Cambodian cultures are very similar. I think you made this statement because Thai is more known.
@@vanessapham6914 It's tom yum goong
In any form of culture, I love all. Cos once we do not trust each other, we will still be divided and become weak. So ASEAN needs be to United as one.😊 Peace♥️
Lao/Thai/Cambodian are essentially cousins we came from the Tai people that migrated South from Southern China. Through marriage and war we share the same lineage. People just say Thai for everything because...it's complicated. Thai hands are not clean.

Raya's sword looks like "Keris", an Indonesian traditional weapon. Although in actuality, it's a lot smaller, like a blade.
Perhaps it's a kalis then? Kalis is a larger and heavier version of that which was developed in the philippines when they traded with indonesia. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I loved the part when they trusted each other...

You don't call those kind of people "friend". Just saying.
I love how south east asian countries share so much culture with India. The word raya literally means great, fast and rays of light in sanskrit. And the mythical naga is also an Indian concept. The architecture and embroidery is so rich in both cultures. I did a bit of research and found thai traditional sabai so similar to the saree and also the traditional clothes in Bali. The cultures are just like siblings. Lots of love to Asean countries.

Its really nice to see my exact skin colour was used for Raya😥 Since SEA beauty standard is fair skin. Most shows that have princesses, are mostly fair, its saddddd!!!
raya's beauty character and culture reminds me of a brave women chieftain who fought for peace and freedom against spanish western colonization in the philippines.
Yesss finally someone else knew it!!2
she sounds very cool !! imo, raya reminds me of martha christina tiahahu who leads a war against the netherlands (i think thats what its called) while shes only 17! she looks very similar to her tho so thats v cool :]
Before i see the movie many filipinos that i see in the comment said "wow the martial art is arnis, from philippines". But when i see the movie fully, wow Raya uses indonesian martial art called pencak silat in her fighting style!
i agree, the only thing i noticed as a filipino is the weapon arnis, but not the martial art
they incorporated alot. krabi krabong, muay thai, pencak silat and arnis.
Might as well use the whole indonesia than using just filipino weapons....tbh as a filipino I don't feel represented much, like congrats to Southeast asia except Philippines, Timor leste and the other not well known guys

But they include phillipines martial art
@@alsimanche yeh that's it...that's all, no look, no name, just weapons.
@@himasekiwari155 but didnt they include philippine landmarks in the movie, the fangs are actually very filipino to me and even some of the food, also it's not that easy to include some culture from the philippines since our culture pretty much shares a lot of things in common with other sea countries, skin color, weapon, name, words, clothing(pre colonization to be exact) and myths about rain and water even the love for food which gives us peace by eating together... but seriously i pretty much sea tons of filipino culture in it it's just that some of them is commonly shared in SEA
My favorite part is when everything was already loosing their hope, raya's the one who stepped up. Even if those people can no longer be trusted and hurt her many timesI she still gives her hope and trust. really got emotional on that part :( to all people who has trust issues! Just grasp the thought there is "hope" and "forgiveness".
The Word "Naga"... Yes. Dragon in my Myanmar language is " Naga". I'm itty bitty proud. I always wanted to be a part of animation someday..but since seeing this movie gives me more Inspiration.. I have more courage to become one to represent.
Naga means dragon too in Bahasa (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei). We,SEA nations share many similar words. This movie is doing great in representing SEA cultures. Yes..Be proud of your cultures as it is embodies who you are.
I love that Disney has brought out Raya, a Southeastern Asian-inspired animation! Finally, something that my future children can relate to and be proud of the eastern Asian background!
The best disney princess film so far imo

I feel so proud. I didn't know that Raya and the Last Dragon was partly based on the Hai Bà Trưng story.
I felt like i was at home when i watch raya all of the culture and art i was familiar with. Its amazing how much similarities we south east asian have in common to the food we eat and the language we speak.
indeed
I saw a Filipino in this movie like The Rice Terraces in Fang, The big Spoon and fork on the kitchen, The Charcoal Stove, Sundak (Sword), Salakot (Farmer's hat) , Our Martial Arts called Kalis (Raya and fathers fought scenes) Some of Talon clothing and houses windows and walls.

fun fact: i'm Thai and i never know before that "raya" has a meaning in Thai language.

simple, because you're not a southern Thailand
wkwkwk
Im so proud watching Raya not only it's south east asia, but they make it really really good and satisfying
so they just mixed many cultures from southeast asia together? I see.. that’s why the design looks so all over the place. you wouldn’t do this if it were europe or other continents would you? so think about it.
edit: ok let me say this again. they might do it even if it were europe or other cultures. im glad to see SEA representation and im not asking for a movie for each country. but the way they grouped our cultures together just doesn’t feel right to me because despite all of our similarities and connections, our cultures can vary a lot and each one is unique. feels weird idk.
Well, if you want to compare it to Europe, obviously Southeast Asia is different. This is just a movie btw
We do it all the time with European fantasy, The Lord of the Rings alone has origins in like 5 different cultures.
they even use lantern!!!! lantern only exist in chinatown.. its a part of east asian culture.
in 16th century southeast asian didn;t even have paper to write with, much less making paper lantern like those east asian. recorded by many traveller including the one from china.
they use torch. not one period movies or drama in southeast asia ever use paper lantern its always torch
@@angelabby2379 actually lantern appear alot in the Hoi An ancient town tho. And lantern make out of fabric too, not only paper. And the lantern start to appear around the 16th century.
Well yes but Vietnam is part of the sinosphere is would be obvious that they practise that. We aren't even discussing about what time period they are basing it on, or just modern stuff, thus anachronism will exist, even if it is a fictional world, including cultures should also take into account nuances in eras, unless you are okay with guns fighting off people with sticks and stones (that still happens irl but I digress)
I was so touched by this movie!
I love to finally see a disney movie that represent my country and cultures and having a disney princess who is south east asian is really incredible
... what culture is that? "Asian" could be any of hundreds of distinct cultures among dozens of countries... this movie just put them in a blender and made Avatar: the last air bender out of them.
definitely better than last year princess movie "Mulan"
True, but the animated Mulan was great
anything was better than white made "mulan" stereotyping china. yeah like they can't bring chinese team to make chinese film.... and they can't draw reference from like 100 drama or movies depicting accurate clothing from the time period nope...

its almost perfect but it lacks singing scenes.. but I still love Raya..
As someone from the Northern Philippines, I think Moana is more related to our culture than Raya although there are lot also in this movie😅
But in Moana it relates me more with the islands' coconuts, farm animals, symbolic tattoos, Igorot clothing, voyagers, like of singing, the mythologies, characters having beautifully brown too, shapely bodies with curly hair and cute little noses, among others. Unlike here in Raya which mostly relates to Indic culture of the mainland southeast asia with a bit of maritime southeast asian culture.
Yeah I saw many Vietnam relate in this movie, floating market, story of 2 sisters against the Han, the 1 horn dragon from Ly dynasty
Lol no. Northern philippine culture such as ifugao is Austronesian and there culture is similar to the original inhabitants of taiwan.
@@omnisciencexx790 You're right but I am also right. Read this:
The Austronesian Migration Theory: propounds on the expansion of a group of people called the Austronesians from ASIA into the PACIFIC by means of Taiwan 6,000 years ago.
After watching this great movie, I looked for the movie's background which I didn't understand yet. Some things I found: the RAYA character could be Vietnamese female warrior(s) legend, the name RAYA, like in "Indonesia Raya" (Indonesian National anthem), means "Great Indonesia", so it may as an inspiration reflecting to Great Female Warrior. And yes, the martial art styles are derived from pencak silat & muay thai. While the costume seems derived from Vietnam & Thailand cultures, And Raya's main weapon is Keris (famous traditional Indonesian Javanese weapon). I thought those four countries touches are dominant in it, but no, it turns out a story describing the southeast Asia (ASEAN) cultures as life background. What a great collaborative work with nice compound of materials & sources.
THE ONLY MOVIE THAT HAS LESS SONGS :(
There is no songs at all. Just it's sound track at the end. 🥺
The black cauldron is a Disney movie that also has no songs, but noone knows about it so nonne cares, it was an amazing movie tho
I see muay Thai and the Thai giant face mask I love it ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ even raya 's costume just from thailand 🇹🇭
The culture in Southeast Asia is very diverse: on mainland Southeast Asia, the culture is a mix of Burmese, Cambodian, Laotian, and Thai (Indian) and Vietnamese (Chinese) cultures. While in Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia the culture is a mix of indigenous Austronesian, Indian, Islamic, Western, and Chinese cultures. Also Brunei shows a strong influence from Arabia. Vietnam and Singapore show more Chinese influence[139] in that Singapore, although being geographically a Southeast Asian nation, is home to a large Chinese majority and Vietnam was in China's sphere of influence for much of its history. Indian influence in Singapore is only evident through the Tamil migrants,[140] which influenced, to some extent, the cuisine of Singapore. Throughout Vietnam's history, it has had no direct influence from India - only through contact with the Thai, Khmer and Cham peoples. Moreover, Vietnam is also categorized under the East Asian cultural sphere along with China, Korea, and Japan due to a large amount of Chinese influence embedded in their culture and lifestyle.

To me, recording from home is a normal thing. That's how my audioplays have been made. It's wierd to me that it's wierd to them, but it explains some of the sound quality. Not bashing, just glad to have an answer haha.
Nothing wrong with recording from home, that's how people are getting their practice in nowadays before, if they do, they get into professionalism.
Every time I get talked to about my audioplays and they say they're interested, they ALWAYS say "But I can't travel over there/I don't have access to a sound studio" and I'm just like "Mate if your phone mic is not buzzy or staticy and it's fine, because I use my IPad, then cool! Do it in your wardrobe! I'm not expecting Blue Yeti 25166352 whatever mics! Just please don't whisper your audition like your mother's asleep in the next room.".
I love it when Raya challenged her dad with arnis I'm so proud
In Indonesia "RAYA" means "great / big".... I think it's similar with malaysia, brunei and singapore (SEA countries that speak melayu)... For example indonesia raya/ great indonesia (national anthem), hari raya / great day, pasar raya / big market, kaya raya / super rich, etc...
Jalan raya :v
In Thailand Raya also known as name too meaning The Lead same as Raja.
Lebuhraya (Highway), Bandar raya (City), pasar raya (supermarket), bunga raya (Hibiscus), perayaan (celebration), hantu raya (idk what's the English name for it), pilihan raya (elections).
@@matdanih so many, but hantu raya? What's the meaning? I've never even heard of it as an Indonesian
@@gagassurya19 It's one of the famous ghosts in Malaysian urban legend
The Indonesian National Anthem is "Indonesia RAYA"
in Indonesia there are thousands of tribes who have united to become Nusantara, it's the same as kumandra
Iam so happy and proud for Once Disney movie represent South East Asia !!!! I am fram Thailand and I cannot be more proud and enjoy the movie so much !! Weldone Dosney dod a good job on Naga Myth 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕
I think that the movie kinda shows that we rlly need world peace to properly work 🥰
This movie reflects the real world a lot like how Southeast Asians are constantly arguing with each other and claiming the culture to be their own or accusing other SEA countries of stealing/copying their culture when in reality we all came from the same ancestors and we were once all family and the same(we still are) if we stop this greedy monster in us right now we might become whole again.
