Moana

Great fun. A traditional Disney Princess film but with a little more depth to it, being abut personal discovery and bravery.

... A great example of the studio putting a modern sheen on traditional formulas.

It's a deeply moving and beautiful film that celebrates it's main character, her culture and her self-empowerment... but she could have been a lot more meaningful and authentic if she reflected and honored a specific Pacific Island culture.

One of the Mouse House's most sumptuous looking films from an animation standpoint.

I have a soft spot for the gigantic, arrogant, avaricious crab named Tamatoa.

Who knew the Rock could belt out giddy showstoppers like an old Broadway ham?

It manages to give us memorable musical numbers, charismatic characters and powerful images and builds a palpable and colourful world in which you want to stay. Full review in Spanish.

A very good bit of escapism with the top notch Disney music and important social themes about respect for nature.

Some great songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda...

Moana proves so visually stunning that all other qualities recede, and the audience beams afterward in awe of its sheer beauty.
