Moana

The movie releases tomorrow so there may as well be a thread.

Plot:
>An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master way-finder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she always sought: her own identity.

the trailers make it look terrible

I was uninterested of the film at first similarly to BHS and Zootopia.

But then I heard the villain song and now I'm gonna watch it day one holy shit.

>musicalfags
not even once

...

It's some good shit nigga.

Jemaine makes a damn good Bowie impression.

I'm a sucker for The Rock, and from what I've seen he's just gonna be hamming it up as Islander Hercules in this movie, so I'm looking forward to it. The water effects look really pretty too, hoping they have some good visual jokes with the ocean spirit thing.

Great songs, easily in the Top 5 disney animation soundtracks.

Dwayne Johnson as a vainglorious demigod is a joy to watch.

The chicken... oh my god, the chicken. They haven't shown too much of the chicken in the trailers but we're all going to be talking about the chicken next week.

The water effects are spectacular. Doing water in 3D is notoriously difficult but Disney really raised the bar here. You'll want to watch the movie again just to pay attention to the water effects.

The villain is Disney's version of Dr Frank-n-Furter. Its going to be fun watching people claiming the movie is black culture vs homosexuality.

How much money you'd think Moana is going to make in opening day? The first week? The second week? International release?

why the fuck are you in a animated disney musical thread?

This villain is a fucking ridiculous looking hermit crab with goofy as fuck teeth

Ruined

He's the midboss. The final boss is a lava goddess.

Is she hot? Like, in the sex way

Are you trying to say you wouldn't try to fuck an animated mound of lava?

I would fuck her so hard my dick would turn into a six-inch-high Darth Vader

Just got back from seeing it. Very fun. Great songs--none of them felt useless or out of place--and a solid cast, although you can tell that they rehauled the chicken at the last moment. He's such a dumb shit and I love him though.

I do wish that they had put more emphasis on the relationship between Maui and humans or focused a bit more on his backstory before Shiny, since the lyrics in Shiny ('far from the ones who abandoned you/chasing the love of these humans') weren't as poignant when you didn't quite know what Tamatoa meant by that.

I know it's kind of cliche to say but damn, that animation was stunning. The ocean looks like you could actually jump in and swim, and I wasn't even watching it in 3D. The animation in 2 sequences (the "I Am Moana" song and the end where Moana asks the ocean to allow Te Ka to approach her and she walks to meet her was so, so well done and moving.

There's a scene at the very end of the credits. If you don't feel like waiting, it's Tamatoa still on his back from the end of the battle, wiggling around. He halfheartedly sings "Shiny, I'm so shiny..." then says "then why am I still on my back? I bet if I was red and had a Jamaican accent, you'd help me up! Wouldn't you! Wouldn't you?! Ugh...." then flops back down

You have terrible taste.

Do I see this or trolls?

Did you see it early too? I skipped class for it.

>skipping class

what would Walt say

Just sat down for the movie early showing. What am I in for?

Fun music, great animation, some laughs, some tears, and a giant glittery crab singing a David Bowie inspired number.

>I'm a sucker for The Rock, and from what I've seen he's just gonna be hamming it up as Islander Hercules in this movie, so I'm looking forward to it

He does and it's great. He even does the pec dance.

...

Watching right now. Water is amazing. Moana baby tits.

I want Moana as a world in Kingdom Hearts 3 and not just because "Latest Disney movie!" bullshit. Moana's setting is blatantly similar to Sora's home of Destiny Islands. An island archipelago, hell anyone remember how Sora tried to help build a raft. Granted it doesn't look like Maui's raft.

I'm genuinely excited to see this movie. Gonna try and find a passable torrent for my saturday thanksgiving dinner.

Get off your damn phone or whatever and watch the movie.

I can see it working. Hell they managed to do fucking Pirates of the Caribbean

>MFW the Island Sora, Riku, and Kairi were on at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts is the Moana World

I've seen no ads for this movie on TV. What the hell is going on?

I think you forgot to turn on your TV.

>KH3 Motu Nui world with Wind Waker-style sailing

>land on Maui and Moana's boat in the middle of their quest
>help them sail through seas filled with heartless while Maui sings about how great he is
My fucking dick
Not that they could get the Rock

>Moana tries to tell everyone that they need to sail farther away to survive because of the evil rotting
>Moana stops the evil rotting
>Everyone gladly goes back to exploring the ocean even though they don't have to any more

>implying coconut crabs are hermit crabs

leave now

>her own identity
Soooo... she's a trannie or a dyke or something?

I like that they actually did a good job with the goofy animal sidekick instead of making him an annoying character who ruins every scene he's in. Hei Hei is pointless, but funny.

>he doesn't like SHINING
youtu.be/dQzAi-a9Bv8

>implying tamatoa isn't GOAT

How was the short?

>average Sup Forums user talks to a girl

Glorious

The original plan for him would have been so annoying.

>The character Heihei was sort of this big macho character with attitude. He was kind of like the watchdog for Moana’s father, the chief, always keeping an eye on the young woman. He was also very judgmental, often being mean to Moana for no real reason.

Too similar in concept to Inside Out.

The trailer made it looks annoyingly modern
Like they kept trying to shove in fad jokes all over the place

...

See this first or with friends and family.

Trolls is more of a movie you would see on your own during matinee time.

It was cute, if a bit confusing animation-wise at times. I like that the message wasn't "office/tedious jobs are horrible and soulless" but that you could do your best to keep yourself from being crushed by the job by taking part in life as a whole

What is "that's every Disney trailer since Tangled" for $400?

Jesus Christ

Yeah and they all a shits

Trailers? Yes. Movies? No.

Well what are these "Good" movies since Frozen?

Are you high?

Big Hero Six, Zootopia, now Moana.

BHS was pretty sloppily made
Like the whole daughter thing brought in at the last second for motivation?

And Zootopia was a little bit too on the nose with the racial metaphors

Just saw it. It's more like
everyone stopped exploring in the first place because of the rotting (aka the "darkness")
Moana stops the evil rotting
Now they can explore again because the thing stopping them is gone

Yep, you got it.

Where was the pig? I thought that pig was a main sidekick character. He was in the movie less than Phillipe the horse was in Beauty and the Beast.

I don't even like animal sidekick characters, I'm just confused why that pig is even in so much marketing when they didn't bother to put it in the main bulk of the movie.

After finally seeing the movie, I'm glad they replaced "More" and its reprise with How Far I'll Go. They're still really great (especially the reprise, jesus) but I don't think they would have worked as well in the film itself.

Because the pig is a cute marketable toy

Motherfucker.
This one actually made me laugh.

>I'm just confused why that pig is even in so much marketing

Because he's cute, and kids like cute. And kids ask their parents to buy merchandise and see movies.

Did they?

If I were a kid I would not even remember there was a pig in that movie, he was used so little.

Is the chicken as obnoxious as the trailers make it seem?

Also, I thought Polynesians ate food dogs

Why not go see it in a theater instead?

That doesn't matter with marketing.

No. He creates some good laughs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The chicken is "turkey drowning itself in the rain" levels of retarded and that is played up for laughs. Make of that what you will.

It's a loss edit, isn't it?

I doubt she would still be walking if they did

Movie was pretty good

nothing was really out of place, it was all really fluid and flowed along at a nice fast pace

the only real flaw was Dwayne/Maui being such a little bitch at times, it got distracting

There actually is a "the fourth panel of loss" scene on Maui's back

Well that was a surprise.

No.

But I would bet Maui has had sex with humans before.

The Pirates of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts was fucking grotesque.

Fun fact: In the actual mythology, Maui died trying to give humans immortality. He planned to do this by turning into a worm and crawling into a goddess's vagina and out of her mouth. His plan was ruined when a bird saw him go into her vagina and laughed. The goddess woke up, shut her legs, and cut Maui in two with her obsidian vaginal teeth.

I assume this scene was cut from the movie and will be available on the blu ray.

Fucking Christ

its funny because the writers literally tried to make it the dumbest character in all of Disney

Just got out of the movie. It was fucking great.

I really liked it. Better than inside out in just the 5 minutes.

What was the bird that laughed?
Because Polynesians should have had made it extinct

Actually it seems a version of this myth is told in the very first scene. Just instead of "immortality" specifically, the prize is a "secret of life" talisman thing known as the goddess's heart, there's no mention of a vagina, and Maui actually succeeds and gets out safely, which is where the trouble concerning the main conflict of the movie begins.

Reminder he died from putting his head inside a Goddess's vagina.

Myths didn't fuck around in the old days

but what about Mini Maui

does that top turning into a swan to fuck a queen?

For sure

>I know it's a lot, the hair, THE BOD

Depends what kind of tattoo Maui has on his dick.

I'm pretty sure Zeus peaked when he turned into a golden shower to impregnate a woman locked in a cage

>mfw girl i like it part polynesian
>her moms name was moana
>she really wants to see this movie


Looks like I'm seeing it soon, senpai.

Hey it's okay it's okay we're dead soon

>Lin-Manuel Miranda and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson unveiled their new project, 'Millennials: The Musical' in a hilarious new mockumentary.
>Millennials: The Musical will premiere on Johnson's YouTube channel November 29th.


Our Demigod seems to get along very well with Alexander Hamilton after Moana, we might get some new stuff.
Just you wait. Just you wait.

I can't get over how beautiful the scene where she crosses the ocean and gives back the heart was. Good form, Disney. Good form.

Broke ass millennials
We are some broke ass millennials
And there's a million things we can't afford
But just you wait
just you wait

Consider the coconut

>mfw in my country they changed the name from Moana to Ocenaia because Moana was a famous pornostar

the WHAT

Italy, right? It's going to be called Vaiana (with her name changed, too) in most of Europe because because Moana is trademarked in Spain by some perfume company.

...

>I do wish that they had put more emphasis on the relationship between Maui and humans or focused a bit more on his backstory before Shiny,

Same. I thought they were going to delve into it since Maui is the reasons that humans can even thrive because he stole the fire for warmth, lassoed the sun, etc, but I guess that would have diverted things too much from Moana's story.
