Good overall, but story is lacking

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2016)

Moana is a very good movie overall, but there are some elements which I found lacking.
First of all the story was not as though out and developed as some other Disney films like Zootopia.
Second, it makes use of the similar Disney princess tropes, and sort of forms a basic story around these tropes.
The animation however, was stellar, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's soundtrack was beautiful.
