Disney is known for its stunning animated blockbusters, and the studio has not shied away from new releases over the past few years. The most recent is
Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada’s Raya and the Last Dragon, which arrived both in theaters and on Disney+. The film stars Kelly Marie Tran as the title character, and she recently encouraged theories about Raya’s possible romantic connection to Gemma Chan’s Namaari. And as that debate rages on, it turns out that Raya already made LGBTQIA history thanks to the casting of actress Patti Harrison.
