About this movie

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, an epic adventure about a spirited teen who sets sail on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana (Auli‘i Cravalho) meets the once mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and together they cross the ocean on a fun-filled, action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.

Ratings and reviews

Songs weren't very catchy and the story is basically an islander version of LOTR. Basically this girl has to return the one ring or else the ocean and everything it touches is gonna die. It kinda slow and repetitive at parts, I don't think I could sit through this more than once. Nothing special here. Go and watch the Honest Trailers for this movie, sums it up quite nicely.

It was OK. Not a whole lot makes this film stand out compared to any other Disney movie, having the same basic story telling formula as any of their other films. Animation was good, and the music was nice. Was definitely some good humor. Problem is, this film was filled with superstitious nonsense and false religion, which some people (like myself) may find offensive. The message of the movie seemed to be about understanding who you are, but teaches of finding that within what you do. This is false teaching. Our identity is found in Christ alone, not within ourselves or by our works, but only by the gift of grace. Overall, I would not recommend this movie.

Read this review before buying this movie so you will know what your about to watch this movie is about a girl named Moana she lives in this island and there's a demi God named Maui he steals some green jewel thing from the mother island and since the mother island is not alive so will land not be able to live so the island turns all ugly and Moana goes on a journey with Maui to find the jewel to save mother island with music and cute animals it has funny parts and heart warming fun but... this movie is fast pace has alot of parts you can predeict that will happen and its not original with its story its just like any other Disney princess movie its basically another frozen but without snow and just heat and water its a ok movie I'll rate it a 3 out of 5 I can see why zootopia won a Oscar against Moana.... (movie is reccmonded for frozen loving young girls and for kids not sure about for the family tho...)
