Moana

The 55th feature-length Disney Polynesian Odyssey with a female protagonist? This is obviously a very good idea for a Disney movie. I didn't really believe it at first, but those classic attributes need to be updated all the time and if this trend has been going on since Ariel, there's no reason Moana/Vaiana shouldn't work. She too is a teenager without fear or reproach, she too has a pair of favorite animal friends, and she too is braver than many of the adults around her. She is agile, has a pure heart, and the most beautiful eyes. And, of course, she loves her grandmother. This makes her a good role model for little kids. As a result, it's another film that has a chance to be domesticated. (2020-03-20)

Moana is a refreshing film that takes you to warm landscapes brimming with colour, diverse characters and a sweet story about the search for truth and self during the winter months. Once again, Disney has not disappointed and offers a quality film that is funny, serious, dynamic and full of unforgettable songs that you are happy to play after the screening. Plus point for the unexpected ending. (2017-02-16)

The beautiful turquoise blue and Hawaiian atmosphere make Moana one of the most beautiful new Disney movies. The story has usual plot twists enriched by the legends of the island states. And mainly there is Maui with the face, voice and muscles of Dwayne Johnson. A self-obsessed demigod who charmed even my little daughter. You're welcome! (2021-07-02)

A very imaginative story where the imagination has no limits. Of course, Disney has the classic elements here, like the entertaining character of the rooster, but the songs are great, and above all, the animation is absolutely captivating. Plus, it's quite scary at times and quite psychedelic at others. A great cartoon, maybe the cartoon of the year. (2017-02-12)

I have watched Walt Disney’s Pacific Moana right after Pixar’s Coco. I don’t want to create an impression that Moana was way worse by this review, but Coco’s story, surroundings and songs were simply closer to my heart. In my opinion it’s not exactly that kind of the fairytale which an adult could watch without falling into an intellectual coma. However, the best part of the story was the character of that idiotic little cock. (2019-02-11)
