Lebanese animator Louaye Moulayess was born and raised in the village of Elissar in Lebanon.
With Disney Animation Studios’ “Raya and the Last Dragon,” his latest major project, he had the chance to tell the story of a fictional land not unlike his own.
“Raya and the Last Dragon,” directed by Don Hall and Carlos Lopez Estrada, is set in the fictional kingdom of Kumandra, which is not based on the Middle East, but Southeast Asia.
He is presently working as an animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Burbank, California.
