Review of Moana

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2018)

Moana is a modern-day Disney. This story is slightly different then the traditional Disney stories because it focuses the story of a girl trying to save her people rather than trying to find a man. This movie is G-rated and family fun for all. Disney has the ability to create movies that are meant for children but include some adult jokes that will go over the young people's heads for the parents to enjoy. The movie includes a catchy sound track that have topped the billboard charts.
The story begins with young Moana who shows a strong interest in the sea and in sailing out past the reef. Young Moana's dreams are looked down upon by her father who was the leader of the village. Moana will one day become the leader of the village however she sees something on the outside that will draw Moana to make a risky move to save her village.
Long ago in a time where there were few people on the earth, the gods created a man into a demi-god. His name was Maui. Maui brought and help full things to the people around him however his self-loving personality caused Maui to make a drastic choice to steal the heart of Te Fiti. By stealing the heart is cause a slight change of the earth and its blessings to the people. After Maui took the heart he was attacked by a volcano god named Te Ka who caused the heart to be lost deep into the ocean, Maui hook to gain a slight crack and Maui to be sent away for a couple for years without human interaction. The story moves on to discuss Moana's adventures and her interactions with Maui.
The movie tells the story of a young girl who completes a brave act in order to save her people. This is not a traditional story because there is no love interest throughout the film. Over all the best part of the movie would be the musical sound track. The songs in the movie do a great job a helping to aid the plot and move the story line along. Not only are the songs catching and fun they also are used as a benefit to the story tellers. The overall atmosphere of the movie was light and airy. I would recommend this move to people of all ages and backgrounds due to the message it share and the way it is delivered.
