Review of Moana (2016) by Mathilde — 24 Nov 2016
Loved Frozen and seeing the reviews on here, figured Moana was a worthy follow up. I thought Zootopia was a great step forward for Disney. One step forward, two steps back. Moana's storyline is perfunctory so the film is full of padding with forgettable songs and repetitive action.
It plays much more like a Disney straight to video than a theatrical release. The animation isn't even on par with recent Disney films. This is the first Disney film in a long time that isn't emotionally engaging.
Dwight Johnson does his best with the jokey lines he's given, but nobody could save those jokes.
