The good:
There are no twists and turns in this movie at all. Everything is predictable if you've seen Disney movies before. Little things like Mau's animated tattoos are novel, but not much originality overall. But the whole film is well executed.
I would strongly recommend this for children, as they may be less discerning about plot and may not have seen lots of other movies. It's still a decent film for adults though.
6 or 7 out of 10.
- Aesthetically, this film is gorgeous, colorful, vibrant, technically proficient, well animated and immersive.
- Strong female lead. Moana is a believable character with depth and personality.
- Some of the older Disney films have been criticised for racism, sexism, unrealistic body images, etc. and this one has adapted in those regard.
- The voice acting
- The musical scenes are entertaining, and they never overstay their welcome
