I Watch Films: Moana
Watched in 2018, though previously seen with my four year old nephew.
I am #TangledForLife and Frozen has better songs. But Moana fits together perfectly, the story and music all building together to ask the questions that let Moana come to her answer.
This despite it being very episodic. Island, sailing, island, sailing, encounter island-sized ships, sailing, island etc. In fact it could almost be designed as a set of twenty minute episodes in a serial.
Speaking of which, neither Tangled nor Frozen were designed to have obvious sequels, though that hasn’t stopped them from starting work on Frozen 2. Moana however is set up exactly that way; take another Polynesian legend or two, put them in Moana’s path as she sails the sea, have Maui come back – it practically writes itself.
Watch This: If you have a small child to entertain or otherwise like all-ages animated musicals
Don’t Watch This: If you hate fun and adventure.
What's That Name Again?:
