All hail Asean's warrior princess published : 8 Mar 2021 at 04:30 5 I couldn't believe that I hadn't been to the cinema for nearly a year. Blame Covid-19 for putting movie theatres off-limits, leaving us no choice but to entertain ourselves at home. It's no substitute for the pleasure of the big silver screen, but for the sake of my health, I had no choice. But last week I was finally able to venture into a movie theatre and cheer for Southeast Asia. The occasion was the release of the latest Disney animated movie, Raya and the Last Dragon. I'm not a big fan of animation, but the first warrior princess inspired by Asean culture and people is hard to resist.
