Summary
In a Southeast Asian-inspired fantasy world, a lone warrior named Raya embarks on a perilous quest to find the last dragon, Sisu, to save her homeland from dark creatures known as the Druun that have turned people to stone. Along her journey, she must learn to trust others and unite a fractured world.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) is a film IMDb files under the animation, fantasy and adventure genres. It was made in the United States. Don Hall and Carlos López Estrada directed it, with Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina and Gemma Chan in the cast. It is rated PG. The runtime is 107 minutes.
994 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,054 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 820 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Raya and the Last Dragon lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 994.
