I am just going to moan about it

Rating: 3/10 (17 February 2018)

Set on the Polynesian island of Motunui, the locals islanders worship the goddess Te Fiti who brought life to the ocean. A pounamu stone is her heart and the source of her powers. Maui, a shape-shifting demigod steals it but he subsequently loses his powers. A millennium later, Moana the daughter of Motunui's chief is the chosen one to get back the heart to Te Fiti as the island is dying. She needs to persuade vain Maui to return the heart.
Maybe if I sat with an audience of younger kids I might had enjoyed this film more. As it is I found the film dull, the songs duller. I did not find it that amusing or entertaining.
I noted the amount of people involved in writing the story for this film, I think any old hack in Hollywood could had knocked this out on autopilot.
I did like the animation style, some of it was very creative but the Polynesian setting bought little to the table.
