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.

Үнэлгээ, сэтгэгдэл

It yanked a few tears out of me, but really? That was pretty slapdash filmmaking. There were no real stakes, no real character arcs, the songs were meh (dude, the Phil Collins songs in Tarzan were WAAAAY better than this). I liked learning about Polynesian culture but didn't feel that emotionally invested in any of the characters. Disney have done BEYOND better than this in the past (except for Frozen - the heck was that?!) As a female myself, I appreciate strong female leads, especially ones of color but still... eh. It had potential but bright colors with little substance doesn't do it for me. I did like the Kakamora coconut pirates, reminiscent of Ewoks and possibly the most interesting characters in this movie yet given very little screen-time. Also, points off for encouraging blatant speciesism. Another "relieved I missed it on the big screen and saved a bunch of moolah". Thanks Play Store for the 99p rental. One to not buy or watch ever again.

A very interesting movie, one that shows a young lady pursuing her passion for something else other than a dreamy romantic relationship. Not only does she succeed in chasing her life long dream but she ends up helping many others in the process . Every story should have a lesson ... this one unmistakably does

Love this movie- the animations are amazing and the songs are so catchy! I love that Moana isn't actually a princess, doesn't have a love interest, and has a realistic body figure.
