They just handled it and did amazing performances, which we’re incredibly grateful for.” And you’re like, ‘Oh God, I feel so bad for these people, but they never complained. “I remember they would have to turn their air conditioners off because it was making too much noise, and it’d be hot and they would be sweating. One specific issue Hall recalls with an understanding chuckle is how one should record with air conditioners running (spoiler: they don’t). So voice acting for an animated film is actually a difficult endeavor.” When you factor in some are doing it for the first time while getting their directions over video sharing… it’s a unique challenge. You have a microphone and your imagination, that’s it. Hall especially sympathized with the performers working in voice acting for the first time, saying, “Being in a live action film, you have a set to react to, you have your partner in the scene to react to. Then they also have to be hitting record on all their files and sending them to our audio team checking their mics.” “We were working out of people’s closets,” co-director Carlos López Estrada says, “and because no one can go in, we send them recording packages with mics and cables, interface, and they have to have the computer on so they can be looking at the lines and then talking to us. But the struggle to create proper acoustics for each performer was a case by case experiment. to Awkwafina’s office space in Australia where she was filming Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Thanks largely to the efforts of Disney Animation’s technology department, microphones and recording equipment were mailed around the world, from Kelly Marie Tran’s home in the U.S. “No, it really was.” Yet his lengthy saga with repeated bandwidth and hardware upgrades-even now he can’t explain exactly how it was fixed-paled in comparison to what some of their actors went through. “ a pain in the ass!” Hall says with an exasperated laugh. Based on Southeast Asian conceptions of dragons like Nāga, Sisu is a divine water creature who would rather ascend raindrops (or jabber about her insecurities) than breathe fire. She’s also on an adventure with a talking dragon named Sisu ( The Farewell’s Awkwafina), who is a chatterbox source of humor. Rather than sing songs or live in castles, Raya (voiced by Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Kelly Marie Tran) is a heroic badass trained in the fighting styles of Southeast Asian martial arts like Muay Thai and Arnis. Indeed, based on the 30 or so minutes of Raya and the Last Dragon we’ve seen, the film appears to be immense in scope and atmosphere, opening with images of desert wastelands being traversed by a plucky lone hero. And more than persevere, WDAS thrived in finding new ways to collaborate in building a unique vision of Disney magic. Yet where there is adversity there is also the opportunity for perseverance.

We are going to be making an entire movie this way from the beginning.’” And it just kept growing to the point where you were just like, ‘Oh no this is going to be it. We’ll be back in May- June has a really solid day.
“We were like, ‘Oh we’ll be back in six weeks. “We were naive about the whole thing,” co-writer Qui Nyguen says. And Hall was relieved Disney got out ahead of it, being proactive about protecting its employees. Disney had been following the then-early days of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the world. In fact, co-director Don Hall tells me the first thing he felt that day was relief. Luckily, the decision did not catch anyone by surprise. Clearly they weren’t in Arendelle anymore. Raya and the Last Dragon, a movie Briggs co-directed, would become the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film to be produced primarily at home. Technology was scanning everything, making sure, ‘Okay, we’re going to this.’” “And the animators were kind of walking out with their computers. “I still remember the day where everybody is like, ‘We’re going home, we’re going to start building this thing from home,’” Briggs says. For it was on a fateful early spring morning that the order finally came down: Raya and the Last Dragon would move its entire production-which had begun the very same month-to working from home. In the nearly 100 years since Walt Disney Animation Studios’ founding, it’s safe to say there never was a sight like the one facing animator Paul Briggs last March.
