Raya And The Last Dragon 4K, Blu-ray, Digital Release Dates ...

For those who found themselves utterly captivated by the adventure of Raya and the Last Dragon, fear not: you won't have to wait much longer for an official release date. Walt Disney Animation Studios' latest feature-length film will be available on all major digital platforms starting April 2, followed by a 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD release on May 18.

Raya and the Last Dragon is a rather unique case in the history of Disney Animation too, as it marked the first time that the film's artists were forced to finish working on the project remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The same proved true for Raya's voice cast, many of whom had to record their dialogue for the film from their own homes — but these changed conditions actually led to some of the movie's most hilarious outtakes, several of which can be viewed as part of the available bonus features.
