Disney's New go-to Form for Their Princess Movies

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2017)

This is how Disney should portray their princesses. Don't get me wrong, there will always be a place for that damsel-in-distress or "I must find a man" mentality from Disney movies... but really, we don't need any more of those. Moana is a strong-willed progressive female who shows us how a "princess" (daughter to the chief) can be her own person and not rely on some buff brave man to come and save her every time. A good change of pace from the older Disney movies where women had a very conservative attitude about them. Not necessarily saying that that's bad, if you have that mind sent, but its refreshing to finallysee it in a huge blockbuster Disney movie, especially with the changing attitudes of the world today.
My only complaint is that there isn't a lot of character development in the film. She starts out brave and a leader, ends with some more knowledge about sailing and is more brave and more of a leader. Don't get me wrong, I love her character, but it would have been nice for more development.
