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.
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.
Zachary Russell
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.
Samuel Adams
How much money you'd think Moana is going to make in opening day? The first week? The second week? International release?
Daniel Jones
why the fuck are you in a animated disney musical thread?
Zachary Ortiz
This villain is a fucking ridiculous looking hermit crab with goofy as fuck teeth
Ruined
Adrian Myers
He's the midboss. The final boss is a lava goddess.
Gabriel Wilson
Is she hot? Like, in the sex way
Samuel Allen
Are you trying to say you wouldn't try to fuck an animated mound of lava?
Luis Rivera
I would fuck her so hard my dick would turn into a six-inch-high Darth Vader
Jonathan Powell
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
Angel Jackson
You have terrible taste.
Lucas Mitchell
Do I see this or trolls?
Ryder Cook
Did you see it early too? I skipped class for it.
Mason Young
>skipping class
what would Walt say
Landon Sanchez
Just sat down for the movie early showing. What am I in for?
Jacob Clark
Fun music, great animation, some laughs, some tears, and a giant glittery crab singing a David Bowie inspired number.
Jaxon Jenkins
>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.
Jaxon Parker
...
Kayden Reyes
Watching right now. Water is amazing. Moana baby tits.
Joshua Ramirez
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.
Andrew Rodriguez
I'm genuinely excited to see this movie. Gonna try and find a passable torrent for my saturday thanksgiving dinner.
Grayson Powell
Get off your damn phone or whatever and watch the movie.
Wyatt Edwards
I can see it working. Hell they managed to do fucking Pirates of the Caribbean
Ayden Miller
>MFW the Island Sora, Riku, and Kairi were on at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts is the Moana World
Anthony Harris
I've seen no ads for this movie on TV. What the hell is going on?
Henry Anderson
I think you forgot to turn on your TV.
>KH3 Motu Nui world with Wind Waker-style sailing
Nolan Diaz
>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
Jordan Nelson
>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
Matthew Morgan
>implying coconut crabs are hermit crabs
leave now
Gabriel Adams
>her own identity Soooo... she's a trannie or a dyke or something?
Ryder Jenkins
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.
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.
Levi Thomas
Too similar in concept to Inside Out.
Luke Cooper
The trailer made it looks annoyingly modern Like they kept trying to shove in fad jokes all over the place
Nathaniel Gomez
...
Colton Price
See this first or with friends and family.
Trolls is more of a movie you would see on your own during matinee time.
Liam Sanders
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
Eli Turner
What is "that's every Disney trailer since Tangled" for $400?
Justin Edwards
Jesus Christ
Evan Anderson
Yeah and they all a shits
Nicholas Walker
Trailers? Yes. Movies? No.
Aaron Sanchez
Well what are these "Good" movies since Frozen?
Oliver Parker
Are you high?
Big Hero Six, Zootopia, now Moana.
Jace Cox
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
Landon Gomez
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
Jonathan Nguyen
Yep, you got it.
Brandon Anderson
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.
Brayden Richardson
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.
Joshua Wright
Because the pig is a cute marketable toy
Alexander Evans
Motherfucker. This one actually made me laugh.
Joshua Ramirez
>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.
Grayson Green
Did they?
John Allen
If I were a kid I would not even remember there was a pig in that movie, he was used so little.
Cooper Bailey
Is the chicken as obnoxious as the trailers make it seem?
Also, I thought Polynesians ate food dogs
Zachary Butler
Why not go see it in a theater instead?
Jayden Gomez
That doesn't matter with marketing.
No. He creates some good laughs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ryan Cook
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.
Oliver Taylor
It's a loss edit, isn't it?
Evan Lee
I doubt she would still be walking if they did
Ryder Ramirez
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
Levi Sanders
There actually is a "the fourth panel of loss" scene on Maui's back
Well that was a surprise.
Caleb Young
No.
But I would bet Maui has had sex with humans before.
Josiah Gomez
The Pirates of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts was fucking grotesque.
Ryan Wilson
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.
Henry Diaz
Fucking Christ
Julian Williams
its funny because the writers literally tried to make it the dumbest character in all of Disney
William Reed
Just got out of the movie. It was fucking great.
I really liked it. Better than inside out in just the 5 minutes.
Isaac Foster
What was the bird that laughed? Because Polynesians should have had made it extinct
Christian Martin
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.
Michael Robinson
Reminder he died from putting his head inside a Goddess's vagina.
David Ramirez
Myths didn't fuck around in the old days
Jace Edwards
but what about Mini Maui
Colton Adams
does that top turning into a swan to fuck a queen?
Julian Butler
For sure
>I know it's a lot, the hair, THE BOD
Bentley Cooper
Depends what kind of tattoo Maui has on his dick.
Adam Young
I'm pretty sure Zeus peaked when he turned into a golden shower to impregnate a woman locked in a cage
Brayden Roberts
>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.
Jordan Thomas
Hey it's okay it's okay we're dead soon
Caleb Perez
>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.
Ian Kelly
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.
Lucas Myers
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
Charles Parker
Consider the coconut
Cooper Moore
>mfw in my country they changed the name from Moana to Ocenaia because Moana was a famous pornostar
Nolan King
the WHAT
William White
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.
Jordan Martinez
...
Jace Barnes
>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.
