Heh. I had so high hopes after Zootopia, but that movie did not met them.

I don't think Moana will remain in my memory as one of the reasons why Disney is the number 1 animation studio in the world. So predictable and typical.

Rather dull movie. Plot is primitive, movie should be 20 minutes long maximum. So many songs. Too many songs. Males are dumb, lazy and frightened. Two ladies are courageous and adventurous. Though one of them is confirmed rustic fool. SecondRather dull movie. Plot is primitive, movie should be 20 minutes long maximum. So many songs. Too many songs. Males are dumb, lazy and frightened.

I don't know what film the critics saw given the superlative reviews on here, but Moana was the most disappointing Disney film in a long time. The story was, frankly boring, and still managed to be difficult to follow for kids and the parentsI don't know what film the critics saw given the superlative reviews on here, but Moana was the most disappointing Disney film in a long time. The story was, frankly boring, and still managed to be difficult to follow for kids and the parents who, when asked, 'why did she do that?' had to say 'no idea'. Why did she keep falling in the water? Who knows? Was it supposed to be funny? Who knows?

Moana's a pretty generic Disney princess heroine (despite the fact she is, to differentiate her from every other Disney princess heroine, only the daughter of a chief), full of moxie (as per usual Disney princess heroine) who must do something to save her island.. or learn something about herself.. or.. I'm not sure!

The Rock is marginally amusing as the comic relief. He isn't helped by the dumb jokes he's given. The young actress voicing Moana does her best but isn't noteworthy (I think she was a non-professional and it shows.. or is heard).

Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has done such a majestic job with Hamilton, hasn't done himself proud here. The songs just drag on. One song is the chirpy 'You're Welcome' sung by the Rock. It's catchy if nothing else.

Frozen's a hard act for a Disney musical to follow, but Moana doesn't even try.… Expand

The first half of the movie was great and then it dragged on for the second half, with the story spiriling all over the place.

I was in a theater full of children and at the halfway mark the movie lost them...they were getting up and running around and generally bored. They got back into it at the end. The animation was lovely but the story got too convoluted for children and it was too long. These kiddos were in the 7-10 range. That is my barometer for a children's movie and I always try to go and see them with an auditorium full of children. Also the music and lyrics were not very catch like you like in a Children's film. Disappointing.… Expand

But where is the pornstar actress Moana? Disappointed all along the 150 characters long and beyond. Pozzi 123456 caco io e puzzi lei. Bored to reach 150 characters

Incredible animation, but it's just so ..lacking. It feels empty. A little more substance and originality could've turned this into a really solid experience for me

It has good animation, but it is too predictable, cliche, and cringeworthy to be considered a great movie.

ElBueno, me esperaba que por la ambientación que cuenta la historia de una tribu (cosa que a mi, esa clase de películas basadas en tribus me encantan) esperaba que fuera mejor. Los gráficos son muy buenos... Las canciones, no son malas... El problema es que son excesivas y parecen estar de relleno mas que para acompañar bien de forma fluida la trama (un buen ejemplo es Aladdin). La historia me gusto en parte, ya que si bien la introducción es excelente, al final acaba siendo bastante genérica con el paso del tiempo. Una vez que Moana abandona su isla, ahí la calidad de la película baja bastante... Y es una pena la verdad. Y por ultimo, Maui si bien su personalidad se va desarrollando poco a poco, al principio es muy insoportable y no se puede en ningún momento establecer química entre ambos protagonistas. En conclusión, Moana tenia potencial, pero los gráficos no definen a una película buena, ni las canciones solamente... es una combinación de todo! Igualmente tengo que destacar las partes en las que aparece la abuela de Moana. Si que las disfrute mucho...… Expand

A good, wholesome movie for the family. Songs and other minuscule details are not needed. However, Hawaiian and Polynesian stories and tales add to a somewhat folklore touch to the movie.

Filme legalzinho, só não gostei do fato de não ser o Mauí que devolveu o coração da deusa lá, pois o filme inteiro deu a entender que seria isto.

Extremely fun and spell binding story of a brave princess on a quest to save her people. It involves Hawaiian mythology, a hilarious Dwayne Johnson and memorable songs to sing along to .
