Disney is known as a company that spends careful attention crafting stories that are culturally sensitive, inclusive, and celebrative, something that has roots in the conceptualization and construction process behind the Animal Kingdom park. Part of the company’s faithfulness to cultural representation (not appropriation) comes from their research trips to their “target countries.” For Raya and the Last Dragon, crew members traveled to the Southeast Asian countries of Laos, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, and Malaysia to learn about Southeast Asia in a more personal manner so the movie could feel genuine and grounded to their real-life traditional practices. Producer Osnat Shurer mentions in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the “community that [directors Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada] encountered, the sense of 'we,' the importance of 'we' over 'I,' was so deep and so complete,” that it inspired the story of Kumandra and the idea of unifying all Southeast Asian countries and cultural practices into one state, which when separated into clans, shares bits and pieces from all real-life countries. Moreover, like Moana’s Oceanic Trust of scholarly advisors of Polynesian traditions, producers created the Southeast Asia Story Trust to keep all the film’s cultural representations accurate and respectful, defined by Shurer in an interview with IGN as “a coalition of specialists in various fields, including visual anthropology, linguistics, botany, choreography, architecture, martial artists, and others.” However, inside the movie, she is the Chief of Heart’s daughter, much like Moana is the daughter of Tui, the chief of Motunui Island, making her a defacto canonic princess. She is even called by the “princess” title at the beginning of the film. Still, there are characters like Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Giselle from Enchanted that are also canonical human princesses in their respective installments without being Disney’s favorite children. So, what did the writers intend Raya to be when they wrote her? Interestingly, they have provided conflicting answers. (Just as a side note, if you did not understand before, I use the capital “Princess” to refer to the official Disney Princesses and the lower cases “princess” to refer to the title.)
