Make Sure You See or should I say SEA Disney’s MOANA - Review

Thanks to Walt Disney Studios Canada, we had the opportunity to attend the advance screening of Disney’s MOANA.  This new Disney film not only looked fantastic, it included life lessons and some similarities to other water based characters from Disney as well.

 

Make Sure To See Moana Travel The Seas

Moana is adventure movie, that because of the spectacular animation, makes sure you are engulfed in the atmosphere. Just like Zootopia made you feel like you were part of their hustle and bustle of their city, this film, about a girl who is called to the sea, will have you thinking that you are wading in the water with her.  Whether she is on the beach, sailing a canoe or swimming in the deep sea, the scenery surrounding Moana is very much part of this story of overcoming obstacles.

Moana Is Loaded With Life Lessons

Many in the characters throughout the film struggled with doing what was expected of them instead of following their path.  In this film you will see Moana, her Father, Maui and even the evil Te Ka struggle with dealing the expectations of others and learning that by being their true selves they are able to thrive. There are also some lessons about vanity with a very sparkly crab, and a running theme of trying to do what is right for your community represented by the island village.

Seeing A Few Similarities

As mentioned in our MOANA contest post, we noticed some animated sea creatures in the poster that looked very similar to the ones in Finding Dory .  Once viewing the movie, we also thought that Hei Hei the chicken reminded us of the bird Becky in Finding Dory and the funny coconut men known as Kakamora were working together mischievously much like the mini snowmen in Frozen Fever. Perhaps the baby sea turtle we were introduced to could have been a young CRUSH from Finding Nemo/Finding Dory, and we did notice the shape-shifting into Sven from Frozen as well.

Along with all of the movie magic there are wonderful songs in MOANA and after seeing this film you’ll have some fun when people thank you because you will be compelled to SING you’re welcome when you reply.

As The Weather Gets Colder MOANA Will Have You Dreaming Of Tropical Islands – Enter To Win

We'll start with the Disclaimer – Yes, we did receive complimentary tickets, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance to attend the advance screening too! Enter the contest at the end of this post!

This fall Walt Disney Studios Canada is bringing MOANA to theaters.  We think that as the weather gets colder, MOANA will have you dreaming of tropical islands, a warm paradise far away and family tale that will warm your heart.

 “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli‘i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.

 

The summertime brought Dory swimming back in the sea, but now it’s time to see what happens above the ocean in the new Disney animated film Moana. Why did I bring this up? Well I noticed that if you enlarge this poster it looks to me like Dory and her friends stopped by to photobomb Moana and Maui!
