“By exploring the creative journey behind this fantasy adventure feature, we hope to ignite young future storytellers and creatives in Indonesia to also pursue their passion in the world of animation," Puri.
Raya and the Last Dragon head of story Fawn Veerasunthorn, who grew up in Thailand, noted, “The challenge for this movie was that we are inspired by the whole region, which is eleven countries.
