But seriously

After letting the experience~ of Moana sink in for 24 hours, I really love it even more and can’t recommend it enough. It was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker (two of the people behind The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, The Princess and the Frog and others–and the Hercules vibe is STRONG in Maui omg) and this is the first Disney movie I’ve seen in a long time that feels ~Renaissance~ quality. Everything comes together for it.

The animation. I’ve been very vocal about how my art snob ass prefers “traditional” animation, but here the CG felt needed and used beautifully, much as it did in, say, Finding Nemo. I haven’t felt that way about most of the non-Pixar CG movies Disney has released. Moana needed this art form, and it’s stunning here.

Again, I think Moana could have easily flipped Maui into a love interest–in a totally different form, here he’s very much a more troubled Genie type–but as much as I love love stories, it didn’t seem “missing” here. This was totally her movie, Maui was definitely her sidekick, it worked. It felt like a very personal coming of age story for a girl who was too busy–and probably too young!!!! for a gf or bf.

The music. Look, if you set aside “Let It Go” and on a narrative level “Love Is An Open Door” the Frozen soundtrack wasn’t? amazing? Like it was fun don’t get me wrong but I never really understood why people lost their shit over it. Like. Y’all heard that song the trolls sang right? Anyway. Tbh, even The Princess and the Frog had a soundtrack that I wasn’t in love with–it was fun, but not epic~ even tho “Friends On The Other Side” was awesome. Moana is the first Disney soundtrack of the 2000s and 2010s that feels on the level of the 90s movies, tbh. They brought out the big guns for this one, and it worked. It is a very Lin soundtrack. Like, there are Hamilton vibes all over this but not in a way that feels unoriginal or tired. “How Far I’ll Go” is THE “I Want” song for little girls. Or it should be.

Again, this story obviously isn’t about my culture but from an outsider’s perspective it seemed like a beautiful showcase. I mean, how many Americans, white or otherwise, know much about Maui? The whole movie felt like a tribute in a way that, say, Pocohontas tried to be. But without the cringy shit.

The movie isn’t without loss. It’s a story that has its funny moments, but doesn’t dumb things down for kids. (Which I feel is something Disney has been guilty of in the 2000s and 2010s and it BOTHERS ME. Kids don’t need grimdark things let them be kids but–BatB and The Lion King dealt with some pretty dark shit without going overboard and I expect that of the newer movies.) It is very much a feminist movie without beating them over the head with grrrl power. Moana’s ability is never questioned because she’s a girl; her gender is not what holds her back on a cultural level. My point is, the movie deals with things that kids might have to think about; some of those things may make them sad at certain points. But it works.

Go give it all your money I’m tired of ice princesses they aren’t The Worst but Moana is better
