Moana — Movie Review
M oana was released on November 23 , 2016 The fictional movie takes place 3,000 years ago . In the islands of Polynesia , an area that includes Hawaii , Tonga and Tahiti .
The star is 16-year-old Moana , voiced by Hawaiian actress Auli ' i Cravalho , who goes on an ocean voyage with Maui , voiced by Dwayne “ The Rock ” Johnson . The movie Moana is about an adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master way finder . And fulfill her ancestors ' unfinished quest . During her journey , Moana meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui , and together , they traverse the open ocean on an actionpacked voyage , encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds . Moana is a good movie to watch with your family its funny adventurous and sad . My favorite part of the movie was when Moana was singing to the volcano in order to restore the heart of Tifiti .
This movie has a lot of singing and many funny scenes in which you will laugh and many children enjoy this movie including my little brother Steven . I went to watch the movie with my family as soon as it was released my family enjoyed the movie and had a fun time . My little brother laughed a lot during the movie and he enjoyed it as well .
Some things I did not like about the movie is there was a lot of singing it got to much at times . Also , someone died and I don ’ t think anyone should die in a kids movie . Also , Moana ' s dad was a little to aggressive I think toward Moana . But other than that I liked the movie it was funny and enjoyable and adventurous . It is a good movie for kids to watch and for families to watch as well .
Also , Moana is shown as a strong independent young girl who is sending a message in this particular movie . I think that message is that we should conquer our fears and we are all independent individuals and that anything is possible . We can do anything and even after someone dies they are still with us spiritually . We should face our challenges in life by being fearless and strong and by hard work and dedication .
In conclusion , The movie Moana is about an adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master way finder . And fulfill her ancestors ' unfinished quest . During her journey , Moana meets the oncemighty demi-god Maui , and together , they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage , encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds . And Moana is a good movie to watch with your family and friends .
