A refreshing Disney Princess

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2020)

I believe Disney succeeded once again in producing a 3D animated film that will become timeless. They did it with Moana.
The movie's strength is not its plot for it is simple. Its strengths are in its very convincing voice actors, more solid 3D animations (the stars, skies and seas, man!) and probably the best asset of the movie is its universally acclaimed soundtrack.
Moana is a musical fantasy adventure film. It achieves in each genre - fantasy that's refreshing (Polynesian myths), adventure that's serves Disney standards (coconut pirates army and a treasure-hoarding crab) and musical that delivers to all ages (thanks to a team with Lin-Manuel Miranda).
If there's another realization about Disney movies this year (along with Zootopia, The Jungle Book), it's that a romantic love story isn't always needed to make a movie great.
Sometimes, we just need a fierce girl with a dress and an animal sidekick.
And we're good to go.
