Average Pixar fodder

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2017)

I've seen this plot in a gazillion Disney movies already, so honestly it's nothing special. There is your usual princess going against her parent's wishes, the funny sidekick, being forced to work together, having a bonding moment, conflict, miraculous resolution, etc. The songs were sub par, especially that "I'm Shiny" tune - funny, but weird. However, visually this is a stunning movie. The way water moved and integrated into special effect was awesome. Also, I loved The Rock as Maui. I wouldn't call it an instant classic, but not bad for a family night in.
