Good & Bad

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2016)

There was a lot to like about Moana.
I liked the diversity in the movie and that the princess didn't have a love interest thrown in. There was some good comedic relief as well and great Disney visuals per usual.
However, what killed this movie for me was the constant singing. I get that it's a Disney movie which means I should expect some singing, but it felt like there was singing scenes that flowed right into another singing scene. Basically, it felt more like a Disney musical than a movie.
Had there been half as much singing, I think this would have been a phenomenal movie. But it felt like none of the characters could talk without breaking into song and dance.
