Review of Moana (2016) by Jess_Hill — 23 Dec 2016
This highly anticipated film is an enjoyable one that is utterly predictable and too long. The visual design is stunning, and there are some brilliant sequences, but the pacing and endless exposition mean that, at around two hours, it's unnecessarily long for the story to be appreciated. Whilst the performances are good, the soundtrack is one which is somewhat bland for a Disney film; catchy tunes, forgettable lyrics. A nice family film overall, but not one of Disney's best. 7.76/10.
A special mention, however, must go to the brilliant Inner Workings, which is worth the price of admission on its own. Funny and poignant, this is a superb short film delightfully executed. 9.
