The fantasy film is directed by Don Hall and Carlos L\u00f3pez Estrada and tells the story of a young girl who goes on a quest to find&#8230; well, the last dragon left in the land.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made during the company&#8217;s annual Investors Call in which the company rolled out a number of announcements for projects coming in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>While Disney may be saying that the move is strictly due to the coronavirus pandemic limiting the audience that a film can reach within a traditinal theatrical relase, that isn&#8217;t really the case.
