A pleasant relaxing movie for the family

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2017)

To start off the review I should mention that I am an 18 year old male university student and I can say that I enjoyed this movie. When most animated movies state that they are for the whole family, they often are quite childish and boring for the older members, but I can gladly say that this movie would be enjoyable for all ages. For example there are jokes that might be wasted on the younger children that gave me a laugh. The scenery for this movie is beautiful, serene even. What worked for Tangled and Frozen definitely worked for Moana. The voice acting was ideal, beautiful singing voice from Moana. Really emotive singing and meaning behind the lyrics, while respecting the Polynesian background. The movie is simply a feel good movie, great storyline that is easy to follow but isn't spoon feeding the audience. If there was to be a negative, it would be that the main characters did not really develop their friendship, there was little character development from Moana and that the movie was quite short in comparison. Regardless, it is a great movie that I will be watching again. Fantastic job Disney!
