A brilliant spin on the classic Disney story

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2017)

Moana was a film that took a unique spin on the classic Disney princess story. It was an unique twist to use real life Polynesian culture to convey this Disney story. It was a beautiful telling of an unknown story.
Both Cravalho and Johnson were great in this film. They were both able to show humorous sides but also very funny sides. I thought Johnson was especially great as he showed a sorta arrogant and downright jerky side. It was a different take on some of the previous roles we have seen him in before. Some of the others actors such as, Rachel Hale as Gramma Tala and the unknown voice of the chicken. They were very funny and great additions to the story
I thought the songs were done quite well. "How Far I'll Go" was obviously the feature song but personally I enjoyed "Your Welcome". I thought every song did what it was supposed to and really added to the story line.
The plot of the story whiles being the classic Disney story it was done well. It added the unique Polynesian culture and some great side stories.
All in all, this was a very well done movie. It was a welcome addition to the Disney princesses classics and deserves the right to have a sequel.
