Review of Moana (2016) by Pardogato — 27 Dec 2016
Despite its strange homage to Mad Max Fury Road placed to set up clearly the role and band of the co-protagonist, Moana is a surprisingly sound tale build from fragments of several tales common to the Pacific cultures.
A strong similarity with the Deer God duality from Miyazaki's Mononoke Hime at the end of the film is unsurprising because of the shared folk tales used as source. With two skippable musical scenes, this is the very best animated film from Disney since Up.
