A very imaginative story where the imagination has no limits. Of course, Disney has the classic elements here, like the entertaining character of the rooster, but the songs are great, and above all, the animation is absolutely captivating. Plus, it's quite scary at times and quite psychedelic at others. A great cartoon, maybe the cartoon of the year.

The 55th feature-length Disney Polynesian Odyssey with a female protagonist? This is obviously a very good idea for a Disney movie. I didn't really believe it at first, but those classic attributes need to be updated all the time and if this trend has been going on since Ariel, there's no reason Moana/Vaiana shouldn't work. She too is a teenager without fear or reproach, she too has a pair of favorite animal friends, and she too is braver than many of the adults around her. She is agile, has a pure heart, and the most beautiful eyes. And, of course, she loves her grandmother. This makes her a good role model for little kids. As a result, it's another film that has a chance to be domesticated.

Moana surprised me in several ways. Apart from the beautiful animation, it has a great story that will entertain even older viewers just fine. This despite the fact that the whole film is largely based on just two characters and a rooster, which served here more as a funny insert. It must be said, however, that the two main characters could have been entertaining even without him. Equally amazing are the songs, whose lyrics fit the plot so beautifully. And in general, I was touched by the whole thing. A strong 4 stars.

On the one hand, the second half is excellent, delivering exactly what I expected from the beginning, under a rush of witty catchphrases and visual ideas about an appealing exotic mythology. On the other hand, however, there’s the insanely boring first half that piles one cliché on top of another, unnecessary overwhelms with annoying songs and an unsurprisingly formulaic plot. I had fun and I felt good with the characters (the heroine is clearly number one in the list of the most beautiful animated characters), but considering story-driven gems like Inside Out or Zootropolis, this is weak, although visually really very intoxicating and original. The chicken is awesome... 70%

I have watched Walt Disney’s Pacific Moana right after Pixar’s Coco. I don’t want to create an impression that Moana was way worse by this review, but Coco’s story, surroundings and songs were simply closer to my heart. In my opinion it’s not exactly that kind of the fairytale which an adult could watch without falling into an intellectual coma. However, the best part of the story was the character of that idiotic little cock.
