When you watch the South-East Asian-inspired Disney movie Raya And The Last Dragon, pay close attention to the scene where the titular heroine visits the land of Talon.

If that busy city of traders reminds you of a pasar malam, that’s because it WAS actually based on the bustling night and floating markets that are commonly found all over South-East Asia.
