I have a huge weakness for songs that suddenly turn dark just as they reach maximum bombastic and flash, so You're Welcome definitely hit a soft spot for me.

He has nipples, but they're nearly skin tone and on top of that they're tattooed like the rest of him, so they're barely noticeable.

Didn't think it was good but didn't think it was bad either. Too much singing for my liking. Songs were culturally indistinct as I was expecting some feel of Polynesia, there was none. Story was mildly entertaining but underwhelming, felt that Brave had a stronger story.

The manager at the theatre showing Moana in my town says the movie is very lightly patronized by it's 3rd weekend. Sales have fallen off to the extent that the theatre is essentially empty and the night screenings they usually shut down the projectors when no one shows up. They would replace it if they are allowed to but home office seems intent in keeping it on for now. And he says no one wants the movie posters, normally they take a lot of requests but not this time.

YMMV

>>89140699

Not sure, but he created the Mediterranean Sea. The mountains on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar are called the Pillars of Hercules for a reason.

>>89142609
Compared to his mythological counterpart, is Marvel's Hercules stronger or weaker?

I agree that You're Welcome is the best song, and probably the most enjoyable Disney song of this current renaissance.

The movie was lame, though. Tired Disney formula. The only way they stirred this time was by not presenting a good guy early on and making him bad at the end.

they reversed it. duh

Boring story, Maui felt underdeveloped compared to Moanna, not enough characters, Maui's tattoo was the most annoying "pet" character in any Disney movie to date.

>>89151792
I also liked the music in the beginning when Moana is a baby.

Honestly You're Welcome is the only song I remember....like at all, that song is in my head on a daily basis since I saw it a few weeks ago but I don't remember any of the others off the top of my head, not even the Shiny song people seem to love so much, it did nothing for me and wasn't catchy to me

As for the movie itself I hate to admit that I found it kind of underwhelming, the humor was ok, I liked most of the characters, the visuals looked good, but it felt like something was kinda missing, it didn't feel as "epic" as it should have, like almost rather than a movie I watched a fairly long premiere episode of a tv show, it just didn't feel big enough of an adventure

Really enjoyed it, though it wasn't exactly groundbreaking, outside of reversing the modern Disney twist and making the obvious villain the good guy all along. Hell, the beginning is basically The Little Mermaid, except with slightly more complex characterization (Ariel didn't give a shit about undah the sea, while Moana at least was aware that she had responsabilities on the island) and the old lady enabler not being an evil witch.
Would have enjoyed more islander-sounding songs than just We Know The Way, too.

Visually though, god DAMN. Remember how liquids and flowing hair are supposed the most annoying things to CG well?

>>89151912
I loved Moana but I also wasn't expecting too much of Musker & Clemens who made some of worst Disney movies.

Maybe it's because she learned that the reason their island was dying was because of a big mistake he made? Maybe watch the fucking movie next time?

Neither, Hercules was travelling, needed to get past a mountain, didn't want to climb it, so he just smashed it, creating the strait of Gibraltar and separating Spain from Morocco.

>shit as a villain and unbelievable for not having genuine feelings for the protagonist despite raising her
So... You hate the classic villain Frollo too?

>5 minutes "I'm actually bad!" twist villain
Eh, I thought her disposition was better suitable for a twist-villain than what they did with Hans

Really liked Maui, Moana is meh, and the villains are extremely bland.

I dare say the sequel will be better than the original.

>>89143720
well given the campbellian structure to this particular movie of course there was no villain. Tomatoa being anything other than an environmental hazard would've been pointless and absolutely retarded.

>>89147985
they don't care much for the culture other than the oddly timed thing with pokemon, it's just a popular vacation spot. But they've got such a firmly established tourist trap trade in hawaii that there's basically no hawaiian culture in it for them when they visit. Japanese tourists go to hawaii to stay in Japanese run hotels, in Japanese tourist towns, to eat at Japanese run restaurants, etc... There's actually a pretty involved history of Japanese tourist racketeering and yakuza presence in hawaii that's given the cops there a hard time.

>>89138431
>I just came back from watching this. What are /co/'s thoughts on this?

It felt too old fashioned for me. Moana wanting to go out and explore the world, in song, against the wishes of her stern father; they were totally Ariel/Triton here.

The film was also so episodic: the Kakamora appear, then are going in a few minutes. Pretty much the same for the Crab, even with his stinger scene.

It's the most consistently fun Disney movie in a while IMO. It doesn't hit the same emotional highs as Zootopia but it's the best kind of escapism and the soundtrack is A+.

I'm genuinely torn between them as to which is 2016's best Disney flick. One of them's gotta be snubbed at the awards and I feel like it'll be this one, which is kind of a shame.
