WATCH: New trailer for Disney’s 'Raya and the Last Dragon': Exclusive

"Raya and the Last Dragon" hits Disney+ and theaters on Friday.

The Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada-directed animated film stars Kelly Marie Tran as Raya, Disney's first Southeast Asian princess.

Raya is on a journey to save the world of Kumandra, a fantasy land where humans and dragons once lived peacefully with one another. The dragons sacrificed themselves for the humans when an evil force, known as the Druun, appeared. Five hundred years later, the Druun is back, so the warrior Raya embarks on a journey to locate the last dragon in order to save humanity.
