   Hello everyone. Today, I'm delighted to share my review of one of my favorite cartoons, Moana. I love cartoons and cheesy movies. My friends and siblings always say cartoons are meant for toddlers and kids. Well, goo goo gaga. I love cartoons, and I didn't think calling me a toddler could make me stop watching cartoons. They say humans tend to outgrow certain activities or interests as they grow older. It's a natural part of life's journey, well, let's see how it goes. Currently, I'm still so much in love with cartoons.

   Recently, my friend wrote a post about Nostalgia. Nostalgia can alter our perspective. One reason why people don't enjoy watching cartoons is because what they come across now does not live up to the expectations they had in childhood. Now that they are grown, they think cartoons are silly or not as interesting as they remember. What people do not understand is that there are a lot of perks in watching cartoons, not only will you learn valuable lessons, but they can also help improve your learning ability. I'm pretty sure if you give Moana and other interesting cartoons a chance, you'll become a cartoon lover in no time.

   I remember the first time I watched Moana. I don't remember the exact year, but I'm sure I was still in high school at that time. Back then, I was on a Facebook group for cartoon lovers. Literally, everyone in the group watched the movie before me. I got home from school one day and downloaded it. I fell in love with the film almost immediately. It was love at first sight. The songs in Moana are super catchy. The songs add to the charm of the movie. I've watched Moana more than 10 times, and I can recite the songs word for word. My favorite song is "You're Welcome.” The opening lines of the song are quite catchy. I love it: Okay, okay, I see what's happening here You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange You don't even know how you feel It's adorable Well, it's nice to see that humans never change

   Moana is an amazing movie. On a scale of 1-10, I give it a solid 9. Not only are the songs super catchy, but also the plot is interesting. The plot follows a Chronological structure (although flashbacks were used ), which makes it quite easy to understand.

   Here are the sources of the images I used in the video.

   Hello, internet people! Yesterday I just finished watching this movie that at the time (i.e. when it was released) was a big hit. At first I can say that personally I wasn't impressed but it's not a bad film either and it has some amazing elements, but we'll talk about that in the post part by part.

   ¡Hola, gente de internet! Ayer justo terminé de ver esta película que en su momento (es decir cuando se estrenó) fue todo un éxito. De entrada puedo decir que en lo personal no me impresionó, pero tampoco es una mala película y además tiene elementos que son asombrosos, pero de eso hablaremos en el post parte por partes.

   I have to start the review talking about the history, and it is that history takes part of real life, according to historians, 2000 years ago the navigations across the pacific ocean stopped completely for approximately 1000 years and just like that, they started again, no historian has been able to find the reason for this, so Disney took the mystery in his hands and gave a reason for the stop of navigation.

   Tengo que iniciar la review hablando de la historia, y es que la historia toma parte de la vida real, según historiadores, hace 2000 años las navegaciones a través del océano pacífico se detuvieron por completo por aproximadamente 1000 años, y así como así, volvieron a retomarse, ningún historiador ha podido dar con la razón de esto, así que Disney tomó el misterio entre sus manos y le dio un motivo al detenimiento de la navegación.

   The story is set in the Polynesian islands and is about a girl who is chosen by the ocean to return a magical stone to its resting place. To do so, Moana (the main character) must find Maui (a demi-god) to help her in her endeavour.

   La historia se desarrolla en las islas Polinesias y trata de una muchacha que es escogida por el océano para devolver una piedra mágica a su lugar de reposo, para ello, Moana (la protagonista) debe hallar a Maui (un semi Dios) para que la ayude en su empresa.

   The truth is that the film is not very dynamic, I was 40 minutes into the film and nothing transcendental had happened, the good thing is that it doesn't get boring because it has good jokes and dialogue. The characters are quite empathetic and funny, moreover their interaction and chemistry feels very genuine and well developed.

   La verdad la película es poco dinámica, iba a 40 minutos de película y nada transcendental había pasado, lo bueno es que no llega a resultar aburrida puesto a que tiene buenos chistes y dialogos. Los personajes son bastante empáticos además graciosos, por otra parte su interacción y química se siente muy genuina y bien desarrollada.

   The cinematography is the best thing that the film has, it is extremely beautiful and I could say that it is one of the best I have seen, the shots and the visual section are amazing, it has a wide palette of colours, accurate and beautiful, you will fall in love with it. Both in day and night scenes, the colour palette is in perfect cohesion, it has warm, cold and neon colours, the aerial and wide shots are the protagonists and give the opportunity to perceive beautiful landscapes of the Polynesian islands, I think I have no words to say how precious this section is.

   La fotografía es lo mejor que tiene la película, es sumamente preciosa y podría decir que de las mejores que he visto, los planos y el apartado visual son asombrosos, tiene una paleta de colores bastante amplia, acertada y preciosa, enamora. Tanto en escenarios de día como de noche, la paleta de colores va en perfecta cohesión, tiene colores cálidos, fríos y neones, los planos aéreos y amplios son los protagonistas y dan la oportunidad de percibir hermosos paisajes de las islas polinesias, creo que no tengo palabras para decir cuan precioso es este apartado.

   The soundtrack is also beautiful, very appropriate for the film and personally it gave me pleasant sensations and made me want to go to the Polynesian islands.

   La banda sonora también es preciosa, muy acertada para la película y en lo personal me causaba sensaciones agradables y unas ganas locas de ir a las islas polinesias.

   The music is beautiful and I love the performance of the voice actors because they don't just sing and that's it, they perform, they act while singing according to what is going on around their characters and what they are doing. My respects to these people

   La música es preciosa y amo la interpretación de los actores de doblaje, ya que no solo cantan y ya, interpretan, actúan mientras cantan según lo que pasa en torno a sus personajes y lo que hacen. Mis respetos para esta gente.

   I thought the character design was beautiful and accurate, the costumes of Moana's people are beautiful, I also like the dances and culture seen in the film, which certainly works to help with tourism in this region because clearly all of us who saw the film want to go to the Polynesian islands to explore the culture in real life.

   El diseño de los personajes me pareció hermoso y acertado, la vestimenta del pueblo de Moana es preciosa, también me gustan las danzas y la cultura que se ve en la película, lo que sin lugar a dudas funciona para ayudar con el turismo de esta región porque claramente todos los que vimos la película, queremos ir a las islas Polinesias a explorar la cultura en la vida real.

   And while we're on the subject of characters and visuals, the design of the ocean is amazing, it's extremely realistic, full of details and a beautiful colour palette, it's the main character and that's why its design is so well cared for.

   Y ya que hablamos de personajes y lo visual, el diseño del océano es asombroso, es en extremo realista lleno de detalles y una paleta de colores preciosa, es el protagonista y es por eso que su diseño está tan bien cuidado.

   All in all it's a very good film, beautiful, funny and recommended. And well, people, that's all for today's post, I hope you liked it. Thank you very much as always for supporting my work, I welcome new readers, I love you all very much, I send you a hug and I'll see you in another post.

   En definitiva es una muy buena película, preciosa, divertida y recomendada. Y bueno, gente, esto ha sido todo por el post de hoy, espero que les haya gustado. Muchas gracias como siempre por apoyar mi trabajo, le doy la bienvenida a los nuevos lectores, les quiero mucho a todos, les envío un abrazo y ya nos encontraremos en otro post

3. ›Old but gold! [Moana: Movie review]@teknon1516d

   I know a lot of people have seen the animated movie Moana. Disney's Moana washed up the shores of cinema in the year 2016 and I had the opportunity to watch it over and over again after its first premiering.

   

   Yesterday was no exception as I came across the movie and had to rewatch it because it's a movie I can't get tired of.

   Moana is a very interesting movie to me and teaches a lot of morals of which one is being courageous. From childhood, Moana was different from the rest of the children and had no serious interest in living the village life even though she loved her island. Her zeal and ambition for adventure made the ocean choose her. She was the perfect choice to go on such a risky journey of replacing the heart of Tefiti which Maui had stolen out of greed.

   When I watched the movie for the first time, I thought Moana was somehow gonna get in a love entanglement with Maui as almost every Walt Disney movie I've seen ends up "with a happy ever after" love life but I was totally wrong.

   

   She's the second princess after Merida not to have a love life and that is quite interesting because I figured that out when she placed the shell from the sea amongst the stone placed by the different generations of chiefs Moroni ever had. Maybe her lineage was gonna end with her because I don't see anything that can fit on the shell she placed amongst the stone.

   Directed by John Musker; Ron Clement, I think the directors chose the perfect characters for the different roles assigned to them. Dwayne Johnson voiced the beautiful Maui role and seeing how bulky Maui is, it's only appropriate that he's voiced by Dwayne Johnson. I always admire his strength and beautiful tattoos. I'm just a very big fan yuuno.

   

   Auli'i Cravalho also voiced the amazing, strong, unwavering Moana with great navigational talent and a love for adventure and the sea.

   

   How can I leave out the amazing village crazy lady Moana's paternal grandmother "I guess I chose the right tattoo" I can't forget that statement just as much as Moana can't. Granna Tala, though older than Moana, formed an incredibly strong bond with her sea voyaging granddaughter. She is Moana's best friend and is played by Rachel House. I wish I had such a grandmother who wouldn't be scared to tell me the history of lineage but push me to greatness but instead, the reverse is the case.

   Beyond the sweeping story, it's the lovable and amazing characters that help surf up Moana's magic to fulfilling her dreams.

   Quite a very interesting watch, old but gold. Every time I watch it, I get new vibes and it never bores me out. I don't know about you.

   Personajes destacados de la Película

   • Moana: Hija del Jefe de la Isla MOTONUI, guerrera, aventurera, arriesgada soñaba con viajar como sus ancestros e ir más allá del arrecife.

   • MAUI: Semidiós del Viento y el Océano, cambia formas, guerrero, fortachón, egocéntrico y fanfarrón, fue el más audaz robo el corazón de la Diosa TEFITY y desencadeno la destrucción de las islas, al principio sin sentimientos, pero poco a poco se fue llenando de amor y aprecio hacia MOANA.

   BANDA SONORA

   Es una película animada musical donde canciones como: An innocent Warrior, Tuloi Togaloa, You re Welcome, Shiny,The Return to Voyaging, We Know the way y por ultimo How far iII go, en otras, juegan un papel importante en la películas, destacando el personaje de MOANA, me parecieron muy lindas, hermosa letra, emotivas y apropiadas, especialmente How Far I'll Go cantada al final de la Película.

   ---

   Opinión Personal

   Pienso que Disney tuvo un gran acierto con MOANA, es una película animada entretenida contada muy cuidadosamente desde el principio cuando emergió del océano la isla madre llamada TEFITY cuyo corazón daba vida a otras islas, y así la aparición de sus enemigos por apoderarse del corazón, es sin duda una de mis películas preferidas, es maravillosa, en todo momento llena de aventuras donde se mezcla todo tipo de sentimientos ternura, tristeza, odio y amor, como era el odio de MAUI y la amistad que surgió entre él y MOANA, muy increíble los escenarios y efectos de animación, como lo fueron: El de MOANA cuando era una niña es llamada por la mar muy bien lograda la escena, El Demonio de TEKA cuando sale en busca de MOANA fue sorprendente. La transformación de TEKA un demonio de Tierra y Fuego en TEFITY la Diosa de la Naturaleza. Quizás todos llevamos a una MOANA por dentro queriendo cambiar el rumbo de nuestras vidas pero simplemente no nos atrevemos, no somos capaces de avanzar, el temor nos frena, ella consiguió lo que siempre quiso viajar como sus ancestros y descubrir nuevas Aventuras, por lo tanto los invito a recorrer los mares junto a esta bella chica les gustara, ya verán.

   Featured characters in the film

   • Moana: Daughter of the Chief of MOTONUI Island, warrior, adventurer, risk-taker, she dreamed of traveling like her ancestors and going beyond the reef.

   • MAUI: Demigod of the Wind and Ocean, shape-shifter, warrior, strongman, egocentric and boastful, he was the most audacious, he stole the heart of the Goddess TEFITY and unleashed the destruction of the islands, at first without feelings, but little by little he was filled with love and appreciation for MOANA.

   • TEKA: It is the real TEFITY transformed into an Earth and Fire Demon.

   • TEFITY: She is the Goddess of Nature.

   ---

   Soundtracks

   It is a musical animated film where songs like: An innocent Warrior, Tuloi Togaloa, You re Welcome, Shiny,The Return to Voyaging, We Know the way and lastly How far iII go, in others, play an important role in the movies, highlighting the character of MOANA, I found them very cute, beautiful lyrics, emotional and appropriate, especially How Far I'll Go sung at the end of the Movie.

   ---

   Personal Opinion

   I think Disney had a great success with MOANA, it is an entertaining animated film told very carefully from the beginning when emerged from the ocean the mother island called TEFITY whose heart gave life to other islands, and thus the emergence of their enemies to seize the heart, is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies, it is wonderful, at all times full of adventures where all kinds of feelings are mixed tenderness, sadness, hatred and love, as was the hatred of MAUI and the friendship that arose between him and MOANA, very incredible scenarios and animation effects, as they were: The one of MOANA when she was a little girl is called by the sea very well achieved the scene, The Demon of TEKA when she goes out in search of MOANA was amazing. The transformation of TEKA a demon of Earth and Fire in TEFITY the Goddess of Nature. Perhaps we all carry a MOANA inside wanting to change the course of our lives but we simply do not dare, we are not able to move forward, fear holds us back, she got what she always wanted to travel like her ancestors and discover new adventures, so I invite you to travel the seas with this beautiful girl you will like it, you'll see.

5. ›Movie Review: Moana@thatanimesnob3008d

   So I watched Moana and boy, what a lazy movie it was. So full of good ideas, squandered on a passable family movie. And yes, I know it’s Disney making a family movie, but it had all these ideas that would make a great story if they were taken more seriously. The premise of the movie is basically the whole world dying because of what someone did and they treat this catastrophic event as an annoyance instead of something actually serious.

   The protagonist is Moana, an absolutely average Disney princess type of character that wants to say no to being stuck in a life of safety and luxury. We’ve seen it a thousand times by now, it’s nothing that stands out or even something logical in the longrun since these types of sheltered characters do not know anything about the outside world and are in effect useless on their own.

   And I have to point this out about her which is one of the many things they didn’t bother to clarify. Why is everybody fine with a girl being their leader? Do they have gender equality on this otherwise primitive island? If they do, they never showed it because any other leader we see in their history was a guy. Combined with how she doesn’t drown 1 minute after going into the sea with zero experience further proves this movie is empowerment fantasy for little girls instead of a movie where talent and intelligence matter.

   But it’s ok because the scriptwriter did his worst to plot armor her from any possible danger. Because you see, the gods chose her to be the one who restores the world, thus every time she falls in water, a magical wave takes her on the boat. When she doubts her abilities, the ghosts of her ancestors appear to motivate her. She is essentially a plot device fully controlled by the plot instead of doing what she wants and facing the repercussions of her mistakes.

   And if you think calling her the chosen one properly excuses all the nonsense, it doesn’t because the gods make no sense. Why did they wait a thousand years to do something about a disaster that has killed most of the islands, and of all people why did they choose a little girl with no skills or experience of the outside world? They never explain it.

   Do you know what else they didn’t explain? Why her pet pig doesn’t grow up. She begins as a little girl and grows up to a teenager, but the damn thing remains a piglet throughout the whole movie. Nobody in the production team gave a shit.

   The problems don’t even stop there. The first thing she has to do is find Maui, a demigod who has been stuck on a barren island for a thousand years and is the only person who can save the world. He is also the one who doomed it, so that makes sense. Also, for a guy who spent a millennia all alone without something to eat or do on a tiny island, he sure looked fine when she appeared. Disney went so safe and lazy on him that he is nothing but a cool guy who does cool things and has absolutely no sex drive, or psychological trauma for being left alone all this time.

   Accompanying them on their journey is a retarded chicken. It’s the most annoying comic relief animal I have seen in my life. It’s not funny, it causes more trouble than aid, and they never eat it although they never seem to have enough food. How the hell did it get on the boat in the first place? Moana didn’t take it with her, it just appeared out of nowhere in the secret cave nobody had been in for centuries. Nobody in the production team gave a shit.

   You probably think I am being too harsh on what is supposed to be a dumb movie for kids, when I’m not since they clearly put effort in fleshing out the characters in a way that demands from the story to be better. Moana’s father has a good reason for not letting her out in the sea. Maui has a good reason for why he keeps going on adventures and tries to impress the mortals. Even the villain of the movie has a reason for why she is evil. These are really good stuff, and they are ruined by the lazy script.

   If the movie was like that in all its aspects, I wouldn’t be bothered by it. But when you set it up in a way that obviously raises the bar like that, the disappointment multiplies when you treat your good ideas like a joke. I can easily sum up all these problems as cheap resolutions. Everything is fixed way too fast despite the problems building up for countless years. The father changed his mind way too fast and lets his daughter sail in the sea, Maui changed his mind and returned to help her without even showing us how, and the goddess forgives Maui instantly, despite causing her pain and suffering for a thousand years, as well as wiping out the life of countless islands and filling the sea with monsters. Hell, even the disease that was slowly killing the islands went away in a few seconds despite spreading slowly for centuries.

   This movie is so freaking lazy. The pay-off is not worth the build-up, its ideas are not used properly, and all you end up getting is a generic Disney princess and a retarded chicken.

7. ›Moana Movie Review--Great new Disney Songs--and no prince in sight.@mctiller3499d

   I’m a father and I have a daughter.  It is the law that I take her to the new Disney movie, whenever a new one appears.

   Moana is the new movie.

   

   Disney has reentered the movie musical era again and they did a superb job with it.  Lin-Manual Miranda helped write one of Disney’s memorable scores.   “You’re Welcome” and “Shiny” are the two most memorable new songs.

   Moana is the daughter of the island chief, and is being raised to eventually lead the tribe.  A standard Disney princess set-up.  But this time around there is no prince involved.  No prince to win anyone’s heart is nowhere to be found in this movie.

   

   
   

   The Story

   Moana purpose is to help save her island and people, from the darkness that is spreading across the ocean, caused by Maui when he took the heart from Te Fit, an island goddess who gives the gift of life.

   The demi-god Maui, played perfectly by Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is the reason for the darkness that is spreading across the ocean.  Moana’s parents insist though that their island is safe, and their people are safe, as long as they don’t go beyond the reef.

   

   Don’t go beyond the reef, is repeated often.  So you know where Moana is going.

   The Characters

   The movie includes the regular characters, the over-protective father, the crazy-yet-wise-sage, the animal sidekicks.

   But it also includes some newer characters.  The Kakamora are tiny coconut pirates, with a huge pirate ship, which could have come straight out of a George Miller Mad Max movie.  These are wonderful characters.  They’re sort of a mean minion. 

   

   
   

   Moana’s pet chicken has been described by the director, “as the dumbest character in the history of Disney animation.”  Interesting to have a character so purposefully stupid throughout 99% of the movie.

   

    Tamatoa lives in the world of Monsters.  (What a great concept by the way.)  And he has the most interesting song of the movie.  This scene could be a little scary for youngest viewers.  I though was thoroughly enthralled with his scene.  When Disney can work in bioluminescence into a scene, then color me impressed.

   

   What caught my attention was how realistic the water was animated, because even the ocean in this movie is a character.  Which begs the question how much longer until we get fully digital humans that we can’t tell if they’re digital or real flesh. 

   

   Overall

   I appreciate the movie, because everyone is nuanced.  Maui is introduced as a bad guy.  But eventually we learn his real story, he isn’t a cardboard character.  The main monster, the lava monster, Te Ka, even has a backstory.  Even bad guys have a past.

   The movie is enjoyable for both children and adults. The songs are among Disney’s best.  And the characters are very enjoyable.  The animation is pretty to take in.  I would recommend Moana for children 5 and up.
