About
You’ll likely enjoy Moana if you want a bright, music-filled Polynesian adventure with a determined hero and a lively sea; Not for you if you prefer more original storytelling, deeper character development, or less sailing-heavy plots like Hercules or Big Hero 6.
Pros: stirring songs; stunning ocean visuals; charming adventure | Cons: familiar Disney formula; simple quest; some shallow characterization
