An average Animation

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2017)

In a world where a demi-god has stolen the heart of a goddess in an attempt to make good deeds but has triggered a huge wave of death, Moana, the daughter of the chieftain of her kind, dreams of becoming an explorer, instead of taking her father's place. Thus, when she finds out an important information about her people's past, she decides to run away into the ocean with her animal companions.
Although it looks simply stunning as many animations from the last years, it fails to impress in almost every other way. The plot is mediocre, linear and predictable, the characters are poorly described and thought, tending to become even annoying from time to time, while the action is also disappointing, in a way in which almost nothing interesting happens. They attempted to make it a comedy so the movie is filled with jokes, sarcasm and humor, but all in all, it doesn't manage to actually make you laugh. It's almost like they tried too hard, but what they've actually done is to ruin the severity of the intrigue and focus on other least important factors. The one thing that is really funny is her retarded chicken companion. To point the upsides, it has flawless animation, some good singing and a bit of suspense now and then. They make it an average movie overall, missing a good opportunity to create something unique or at least something that will make you laugh like never before.
