I guess. It was a really good movie, but Zootopia had it beat in everything but soundtrack. It was over shadowed by a movie released earlier the same year.
There's also the fact that Disney has this expectation of quality that makes a good movie seem somewhat underwhelming. There's no surprises, it's just what you'd expect.

At least it was better than Kubo.

>Zootopia had it beat in everything but soundtrack.

This might be the worst opinion in the history of Sup Forums

>I AM MOANAAAAAA
I don't remember rooting for a character so fucking hard.

Laika fag detected.

needed more tamatoa

Just saw it today on Netflix, honestly it wasnt very good at all. IT wasn't bad just....there.

The best thing about the movie was the songs.

It was pretty forgetful imo. The only thing that stuck with me were the visuals during the crab monster's song.

Too bad Laika is the only truly competent animation studio in this day and age that actually put effort into their animation and storytelling instead of just pressing a bunch of buttons for several days and hoping to appeal to the lowest common denominator with a "lol, they made an obligatory adult joke" shit.

It was predictable and underwhelming. I'll never understand why Sup Forums has such a hard on for this movie.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhh

>Dem titties

Shame that all their movies fall flat near the end.
The intros are always 10 outa 10 but the just don't know how to end it.

Sup Forums doesn't have a hard on for it. if anything they hate on it more than they should. Sup Forums actually likes it more than I thought they would, considering they're basically Sup Forums. I've only seen threads calling it kino and wanting to fuck Moana over there

>Laika
>Competent in anything other than visuals

Kek

>titties
We all know why everyone watched that for Maui.

Kubo made me feel more emotional and impressed than the entirety of Moana.

No, it's seriously nothing special. There is some creativity, but overall it's just another princess-wants-more movie, with the same formulaic, predictable plot Modern Disney keeps giving us.

That song was annoying.

Everything out of Maui's mouth was golden though

No it wasn't

>Sup Forums
>anything other than a bunch of pseudo-normies autistically spamming any post they see more than once as if it were a meme

no what wasn't?

>Song was annoying
How?

It wasn't good. But it completely threw me off because I was sure that pig was going to be the 'every animal is a dog sidekick character' and they threw that in my face.

How what? Its a song, and it was annoying. The way it sounded as a song was obnoxious. It wasn't catchy, it was just a shit song.

Fuck off with your shit taste

In a recent "Pizza-Party Podcast" (I swear I'm going somewhere with this, not just giving Pan free publicity) they had Mike Mozart on there, and he made the comparison between Moana and The Little Mermaid that in the latter, people were quoting the movie left and right whereas in Moana, people just consumed it and wasn't really conducive to being engrained in people's minds.

It definitely felt like a "ticking boxes" type of disney movie, but it was still leagues better than Frozen

Plebeian.

This movie was garbage

1. Boring characters. Both of them look disgusting. Moana looks generic at best.

2. Entire boring plotline on a fucking boat

3. Rehashed backstories. Moana is an Ariel rip off

4. Jokes are flat or they trying to be meta

5. Songs were horrible, so forgetable and not catchy at all. They were mostly spewing exposition in most cases.

6. The forced chicken and little tatoo guy tried too hard as typical Disney mascots

7. The cute lovable pig was false advertising, and didn't actually go on the quest as the trailers implied he would

8. That fucking ending, good to know the main hero is responsible for the death of everyone who ever dies, and not only goes scott free, but also gets rewarded

Seriously fuck this movie. A typical production made by black suits and created out of every Disney archetype. Seriously making a main character a woman or black will automatically have critics rate this as 95% on rotten tomatoes. Fucking brainless SJW's.

>Moana
>endowed
>liking a movie because the characters are attractive
we've reached peak hedonism

>This pasta again

It was a lesser version of the Frozen song with a lesser singer. Fuck off with your brown waifu white knighting.

Zootopia was pretty good though. Probably would've been better if they had stuck with their original story.

Plebeian with no musical analysis skills to boot. Completely hopeless

>Moana is an Ariel rip off
I know this whole thing is bait, but Moana literally fixes Ariel.

>This "Moana is the most underrated movie ever" thread again

No one can come up with a nonshit reason to dislike it.

>The absolute state of frozenfags

>anything based on a non white culture is sjw

Getting tired of this meme

>Moana literally fixes Ariel.
YOU SHUT YOUR DIRTY FILTHY WHORE MOUTH RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU CUNT!
Sorry I got triggered, but Ariel is the best Disney princess of all time! OF ALL TIME!

The little mermaid is perfect in every possible way!

It's perfect in every way, shap and form.
All of Disneys best animators of the time worked on it so the animation and characters are amazing
You have a Divin Sea Witch.
Some of the best music to ever come out of Disney.
A classic non douchebag prince unlike the modern day Tangled / Frozen ones of today.
No forced black characters (no Sabastion doesn't count because hes a mother fuckin Awesome crab.)
A beautiful half naked Disney princess thats willing to shut up forever and sells her voice just so she can get legs which she can spreed for her Prince. Now thats a mother fucking good girl right there.
Some say ...
> b-but Ariel has such a weak motivation

I ask those anons to not be so harsh. She was 16 and it was true love. How do you know it was true love ? Because "at 16 it's always true love." ~ Zelda Spellman
Besides I like that her character was slightly dopy. It made her wide eyed / childlike which made her more loveable. You feel the need to put your arm around a person like that and protect / love her forever.

Ariel is a stupid immature brat and most of your post had nothing to do with her herself. Ariel was shit.

it was shit. I saw it for free and stopped watching literally 10 minutes in

YOUR ICY TEARS FUEL ME

>Butthurt fat Ursula the sea witch landwhale detected.

Ariel was an explorer who dreamed of of life up above. A princess whos fiery red hair reflected her personality. She gave, and did everything she possible could to make her dreams come true even though everyone was trying to keep her down. Shes the best thing to ever happen to Disney, and YOU KNOW IT!

>Dem titties

Goddamn right, Maui had the best jiggle.

>meme

I wish this was true, user, but try saying that to a black lives matters protester type. Even when Disney created a 2D fully animated princess movie for them they still found something to bitch about.

Disney was forced to change The Frog princesses name from Maddy to Tiana or Laquisha because ...
> some say Maddy sounds a lot like Mammy.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the long list of things they bitched about with that film.

Jesus you guys think I'm some kind of die hard Frozen fan? I've seen it all the way through one time and Let It go makes me want to die because I've heard it so much.
Moana, as a movie, was more fun to watch but her little signature song was shit. the fact that no kid is walking around singing it shows just how hard it didn't grab anybody.

Some random blogger is a pretty piss-poor source.

Say what you want, but there's just no excuse for them making him look that ugly. Not that Moana was anything beautiful to look at.

I hate how grotesque Disney made them look.

Meh.. it needed a little boost.

Google it yourself, user. Her name was supposed to be Matty which would have been hella cute.

Maui looks exactly like a Samoan man. Hell, most Samoan women look like that too.
Your examples are mixed blood models, not actual representatives of just how stocky and, frankly, brutish actual Polynesian look.

>This tumblr tier shit

You need to go back

What was the purpose of the pig...? Seemed like a redundant character.

>Bottom
It seems like they realized too well into production and just wrote him out of it completely once she left the Bionicle island

>But, user they are supposed to look fat,and ugly.

My good Sir, there is ugly, and than there is Kill IT With Fire ugly.

If you say so. I think you might have a problem.

>Thinking this looks attractive if you look at it from just the right angle

What yet to be discovered angle would that be, user?
If you think that this is attractive than I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you might be going blind.

What the fuck is wrong with you? You're responding to something no one even said. Oh wait, this is the same copy paste garbage that's in every one of these threads in an attempt to hate on the movie. Bravo

The pig was heavy marketing bait. Many viewers must feel betrayed by its hardly being in the movie.

Who would feel betrayed that a fucking pig wasn't in the whole movie

>This was originally intended to be the artstyle for the entire movie
>They went with 3D piggu style instead because kids like it

One princess and the frog wasn't enough

Of course no one went to see the movie solely for the pig. But since it was featured heavily in advertisements and merchandise, the expectation is that it would have importance in the movie. Can't you see, then, how a viewer might feel lied to?

The marketing department is always at war with the people making movies. They probably saw that chicken and were like "ew, no" and picked the only cute thing they could find.

>Implying this whole Mona thread isn't pasta in one way or another.
Sorry to break it to you, but while there might be some pasta in this thread not everything you don't like is pasta. These posts are not pasta
And even if they were why should anyone have to be forced to think of new, and creative ways to say the exact same thing in each thread if their opinions of the film are still the same.

Your Welcome was the only song in this whole thing that didn't come across as a character just reading out their own bio, even though that's sort of what he was doing.
The village song about using coconut fibers was trite, Moana's theme was so ham-fisted she even shouts her own name, the fucking title of the movie by the way, at the end. Even "shiny" only sort of gets a pass because Jemaine Clement sounds like David Bowie a little bit but it was almost a Big Lipped Aligator of a scene. He even fucking asks "did you at least like the song?" as Maui and Moana escape.


Visually it had a lot going for it and its neat to see other mythologies get used but I think there's a good reason it didn't catch on with audiences. An ultimately boring story with forgettable songs. and a Disney movie needs to hit at least one of those marks correctly.

Why repeat yourself in each thread at all? Why feel compelled to state the same nonsense grievance "in each thread"?

>Laika
>Storytelling
What the hell have you been smoking user?

I still feel cheated though. I wanted to see more of that little pig. I was going to drop $50 on a bigplush of the pig , but when I found out that his character is basically non-existent in the film I didn't . He could have been the next Flounder or Olaf. He could have been one of the greats. This Princess movie is already lacking a prince. It really could have used a cute side kick character. Would it have killed Disney to just throw old school Disney fans a bone.


Even during tv ads the pig is shown interacting with Maui, and the ocean, yet in the film the pig never even meets those characters.

It's false advertising at its lowest. They are trying to sucker people into the theaters with the promise of Disney's next cute , adorable princess sidekick, but the pig is nothing more than a false flag.

It's like going to see Frozen after viewing all the tv ads, and seeing all the artwork of the talking snow man Olaf only to find out after you've paid for your ticket that the Snow man doesn't go on the adventure with Anna, and is only in the film for 29 seconds.

Here's just another of many examples of this false advertising.

>Why feel compelled start the same nonsense grievance Moana thread "each flipping day"?
>Why does Sup Forums repeat itself every day ?
These are the questions that really make you think.

>this post
user - a man deprived of his bacon.

cheer up user.

>Go to store
>See Moana box set
>Printed text on the box says "Moana of Oceania's friends join her on an action-packed voyage."

No THEY DON'T. Only the retarded chicken goes on the voyage.

The pig was supposed to go on the adventure, and the rooster was going to be a grumpy, uptight, douchebag. They would be contrasts. The helpful, sweet, silly pig, and grumpy uptight rooster that would try to stop Ariel....I mean "Moana" and get her back home aka grumpy uptight Sebastian the Crab, and cute lovable Flounder.

That is why a good portion of the toys, and other merchandise for the film heavily feature the pig, and even feature the rooster looking like an angry uptight jerk. Disney started to fear that Moana was starting to appear way to similar to The Little Mermaid formula, and people would notice so they ended up redesigning the Rooster as an idiot that worked for comic relief, and they decided to leave the pig off the adventure all together to avoid the Flounder/ Sebastian comparisons.

Because Disney is greedy they still decide to use the pig heavily in promo materials because pigs are cute, and people like cute things so they say "let's pretend the pig is still a sidekick, (even though hes not) and sucker more money out of fans who enjoy classic Disney cute sidekick characters."


So cute! I want one.

>grumpy uptight rooster
So you just developed a head canon for what was going to happen and are mad that reality didn't match it?
That's not marketing's fault, that;s you going off on a mental tangent that you had no reason to go on.
From day one the rooster was shown as a retard comic relief.

A lot of times the promo materials are made before the final touches are made on the movie. This is nothing new or exclusive to Disney.

>M-muh pig!

What the hell man

I loved it. I thought it was kinda generally agreed upon that it was really good, but that it just didn't stick like Frozen did.

Zootopia was good but its central message kinda falls apart when you think about it for more than five minutes.

Why do you post like a fucking Facebook commenter?

Please go back there.

Zootopia could be great! Bur it had to be neutered for kids. Lame.

I somewhat disagree.

Moana had a drive to explore and sail, and her idea to sail and fish beyond the reef was ultimately the better idea. Her small acts of caring for animals altruistically are all it took for the ocean to side with her, and she's the one necessary to help Maoi, and is generally just kinda always right. Her struggle at the end didn't feel earned and she doesn't learn anything. In a sense, I suppose it could've worked better if there was more buildup of the volcano spirit as a threat and how Moana was fulfilling her grandmother's role of recognizing the purpose and value in people, but if that was the intention it didn't get across very well. Moana didn't learn anything.

>So you just developed a head canon for what was going to happen
>That's not marketing's fault, that;s you going off on a mental tangent that you had no reason to go on.


Umm.... no, The mental gymnastics you are going though to implying that I'm making things up is amazing. Do you just not know anything about the making of Moana or do you just enjoy pulling flawed information out of your ass ?

Disney stated that the rooster was going to be the grumpy jerk aka Sebastian type character who would try to convince Moana to go back home where she belonged, and that the pig was going to be the lovable supportive sidekick aka Flounder.

They even released artwork of the grumpy uptight rooster, and lovable pig duo
>image very related

I understand this, user, however the decision to kill the pig as a lovable sidekick character happened very early on in the films development process. They had time (over a year) to not feature the pig while creating the final promo materials for the film, but still did so "for reasons" aka Disney decided the cute pig would help get more butts into theater seats so they still sold the idea to the public that the pig would be going on the voyage even though they knew fully well he had already been axed from the film over a year ago.

Nigga.. he was cast out by humans for a reason. the gods took pity on him, remember?

Yes. Yes it was.
It was like Frozen if Frozen was a good movie, and was easily better than Zootopia.

I'm still salty that Moana didn't win best picture, but then again, considering the themes of Zootopia and how Liberal Hollywood is, it's no wonder they picked it.

Zoot's overall message is "don't be racist!", it's less funny, CGI version of Cats Dont Dance.

>Probably would've been better if they had stuck with their original story
What was the original story supposed to be?

youtube.com/watch?v=kpLX_gMwKms

I don't know which came first. Shitty LAIKA movies or the drugs.

CHOO CHOO MAKE WAY FOR THE BEST MOVIE ABOUT POLYNESIAN CULTURE AND ALIENS OF ALL TIME CHOO CHOO

Disney dont roll like that since like 2010, it's "setting first,story and issue later" an dit's gonna be like that for a looong time.

Trollz > moana

in terms of visuals or songs?
what the fuck is wrong with these capchas!?

wasn't he like demigod and shit

Anyone got a plausible explanation as to why it's called Vaiana in some parts of the world?

something about Moana being a name of a famous italian porn star.

i dont get the "Ocean's treasure" subtitle.

>(I swear I'm going somewhere with this, not just giving Pan free publicity
Who the fuck cares? No, really, who gives a shit?

I kinda consider the Moana as told by Emoji-short summaries to be quite well done.

youtube.com/watch?v=s8lkmmsb93U

Especially the Pokémon Go-part.

wot

As an user, I have consumed more than my fair share of porn over the decades but the only italian pornstars I have ever heard about is Rocco (because who hasn't) and Cicciolina (ran for mayor of Rome, iirc).

I live about 2000 KM north of spaghetti land, but it's called Vaiana here as well.

>Look at me ,i use memes from 10 years ago aren't i so original and cool?

city was a dystopian hellhole were predators were treated worse than jews and blacks during WW2,they had to wear collars that electrocuted them whenever they felt stronger emotions (like anger,sadness or happiness), Nick was the protagonist who's only "crime" was making a ghetto for his fellow predator friends,and Hopps was a racist bunny that chased him.

They developed this story for two years, but couldn't figure out the ending.WDAS asked for advice and Pixar facepalmed after seeing the whole thing.

No, this movie was underrated as fuck

And Disney is now doing their own version which will get twice as much attention even if it's objectively worse

horrible writing though
