Critics Consensus

With a title character as three-dimensional as its lush animation and a story that adds fresh depth to Disney's time-tested formula, Moana is truly a family-friendly adventure for the ages.

Great fun. A traditional Disney Princess film but with a little more depth to it, being abut personal discovery and bravery.

... A great example of the studio putting a modern sheen on traditional formulas.

It's a deeply moving and beautiful film that celebrates it's main character, her culture and her self-empowerment... but she could have been a lot more meaningful and authentic if she reflected and honored a specific Pacific Island culture.

Cinema Crazed

A very good bit of escapism with the top notch Disney music and important social themes about respect for nature.

Moana proves so visually stunning that all other qualities recede, and the audience beams afterward in awe of its sheer beauty.

Moana is absolutely destined to be a classic Disney film that will last through generations! This film is just so beautifully done, and so enjoyable, even for adults that don’t have children! There are so many positive messages without all the ridiculous fluff that accompanies a lot of other Disney animated films especially ones with princesses. Barf. Moana story is inspiring to any little girls showing them that they can believe in themselves and be whoever they’re meant to be love love love this film!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

half way through the movie the theater lights turn back on and the movie stopped playing due to a huge rainstorm that was accruing outside apparently the who movie theater was shut down and they couldn't get any of the movies back on line most of everyone in the theater just ended up leaving I tried to get a refund but they said no due to it being passed the time to get one but we never got to see the rest of the movie I knew it was going to rain but I didn't think that it would of had that kind of affect on a whole theater the way that it did unless they have bad wiring in and out of the place or leaks that where coming through the ceiling into electrical equipment idk but it was wired and it was my first time being at this one despite driving passed this one for over 30 years I still would of liked a refund though I didn't even get to finish my drink that I had gotten just minutes before hand

Hi everyone today i'm gonna to speak about the movie Moana by Disney. The film is about a girl name Moana who must do a mission with a half god in order to save his island from disaster. I think this is a really good film because first I love Disney, I watch that all my childhood. I love the beauty of this movie. The bottom with the wave and the characters, I also like the story she is different like all Disney movie with a princess fragile and the strong prince. The power and the magic are there and next I don't really like the music when the characters sing but in this movie the music are good and catchy. The movie is powerfull and the script is moving and to finish the special effect is stunning.

Me and Zofija (J czytaj jako H, H jest nieme.) we love Vaiana. (It's Vaiana not Moana !!!) We are listening to the Vaiana soundtrack right now. Of course the Polish one :). The Crab is very like very sigma. He's the definition of the "Sigma Man". He's like Adam in Hazbin Hotel. The songs are literally the best! And the fact that Lin-Muanel Miranda wrote them. The plot is also very good. I feel like it's one of the best Disney movies. Also it's one of the Disney movies that actually turned out great! Five stars:).
