Moana

This movie is one of those Disney classics that just holds up every single time you watch it. The animation is stunning, especially the ocean scenes, and the music is catchy in a way that somehow stays in your head for days. The story itself is simple but powerful, focusing on courage, identity, and stepping into who you are meant to be, which makes it easy to connect with no matter how many times you have seen it.What really makes it special is how it balances adventure with heart. It is fun and engaging for kids, but it also has emotional moments that still land as an adult, which is why it never really gets old. Girl, this is one of those movies you say you are putting on for the kids and then suddenly you are fully locked in singing along like it is your job.

Great movie

Moana is the best animated film I have seen in a long, long time - I haven't enjoyed a Disney film this much since Mulan (which also features a seriously strong female protagonist), and this movie - with its animation, story, and heroine is in a while 'nother, stronger category than Mulan. My children love it so I have watched it about 50 times - good thing I love it too. It's refreshing to see a film where having a boyfriend or future husband is not a thing at all - not once is it ever mentioned that she might marry one day. Nothing wrong with relationships! - (and Moana is certainly old enough to be interested in boys), but it would have created an unnecessary side plot and been distracting from her task at hand. There is not even a hint of there being anything between Moana and Maui. Even though she certainly beautiful, Moana's looks are not important or even mentioned, and she is drawn truer to actual bodies than the wispy-waisted, unnaturally thin Disney women in other films. She is neither silly nor helpless, and my kids comment on her bravery every time we see it. The songs, written by the amazing Lin-Manuel Miranda, are fantastic; we sing them all the time. Animation is simply gorgeous (even if you are afraid of the ocean, like me, you will fall in love with the water; thank god there is also no unnecessary shark attacks). I love the idea that our loved ones are never truly gone, and can have a completely different (joyous) life beyond this one. I realize some religious folks may have a problem with that, but I hope they will accept that the ancient Polynesians had a completely different system when it came to gods/goddesses, and that without that belief the film itself wouldn't exist. The minor antagonists were just enough of a threat to be suspenseful but not too scary, and the scary main antagonist was majestic and formidable rather than full of sharp teeth or unnecessarily ugly and evil (just really, really justifiably angry!); therefore my 6 and 8-year olds were not too frightened by her. Even the "animal sidekick" is different from other films, in that he is not "cutesy" and preternaturally intelligent. And if you love the Rock (which I do, especially his ability to laugh at himself), you will be impressed that he did his own singing! I did not see the "twist" at the end coming, and was so glad it wasn't obvious. Just truly an outstanding film in every way. Now I want to go watch it again! (For the 51st time, lol)

Moana is a true testament to the spirit of humanity. Focused on Moana and her people (Moana carries the Hawaiian meaning of water, deep ocean, or sea), this movie immerses you into the Pacific ocean and its many islands in the most intimate of ways. Often funny and even exceptionally emotional with songs that keep you singing long after leaving the theater or the switching off of your television or computer, Moana teaches the relevance of respect for nature and convinces you that we all may have been smarter centuries ago without the gadgets of the current day. It kinda made me feel regret that my child relies on a screen, sitting next to a classroom full of others looking at a screen, only hearing someone talk about the world, though never experiencing it himself. In other words, it's a cool movie!!!What I am even more thankful for is THE BONUS CONTENT!!! WOOHOO DISNEY for the hours of additional bonus features that teach us so much more about the people of the story and what is important to them!!! I cried several times while hearing Pacific Islanders speak with such pride and emotion about wanting their culture to be known and appreciated by others. Isn't that what we all want no matter where you come from? Learning how Islanders sailed the biggest ocean on the planet in FREAKIN' CANOES was AMAZING!!! And I never would have known that without watching the bonus features that explained the film's motivations. So I am grateful for Moana, the movie. This is one history lesson that I want to learn over and over and over and share with everyone I can find. I hope that centuries from now, when the tides just may have worked to bring us all together in spite of our vast physical, racial, and spiritual differences that are not so different after all, Moana (A MOVIE!) will be one of those things listed as a catalyst for such unity and understanding of cultures all across this great earth.To Amazon: Did I mention that LOVE THE BONUS CONTENT?!!! :) PLEASE give us videos on demand with BONUS CONTENT. That is the reason that I bought the video digitally and will buy the physical Blu-ray movie as well. If there was no bonus content I would never have purchased both the digital version AND the Blu-ray versions. Bonus content is just as important as the movie for me because it helps you to understand the movie better. And it's just fun to watch. More bonus features for all digital versions please!!! :)

Awe

Ever since I was a kid, Disney has never failed to amaze with their films. The animation is always brilliant. The stories are always moving. And, if it's a musical, the songs are always ingenious. And now, they have created their best Disney Princess film ever: "Moana"!This film follows Disney's very first Polynesian princess (technically, not a princess though. Although, apparently, "if you wear a dress and you have an animal sidekick, you're a princess. ), voiced beautifully by newcomer Auli'i Cravalho, who teams up with the larger-than-life demigod Maui, voiced by the larger-than-life Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, to resolve the mysterious rift between man and nature and revive the ancient art of wayfinding. Along the way, she also seeks the one thing she has sought out her whole life: her identity.Like how Maui could go on and on explaining every natural phenomenon, I could go on and on explaining how this film is nothing less than PERFECT. The story is incredibly moving and thought-provoking. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina, and Opetaia Foa'i team up to bring us a soundtrack that deserves at least 10 Oscars. The cast is not only brilliantly assembled; most of them come from Polynesian roots (Auli'i Cravalho is a native Hawaiian, Dwayne Johnson's ancestors are Samoan, Temuera Morrison hails from New Zealand); in fact, the only cast member who is not Polynesian is Alan Tudyk, but only because he voices Hei Hei the rooster. The animation and character design is some of the finest I have ever seen in a Disney computer-animated film... Honestly, if I went any more into detail about how this film is my absolute favorite of 2016, we'd be here all day.So, in short, Disney's 56th animated movie is an instant classic and will no doubt go down in history. This film is a must-see for all Disney fans, young and old. It's yet another brilliantly gleaming gem in the Disney Animation canon!

Good buy

Great movie! Good for the entire family

Producto original en excelente estado

> Étant français (et vivant France) :- Je dois dire qu'il est vraiment très difficile, voire quasiment impossible, de trouver des films avec le doublage en "VFQ" en plus du doublage "VFF"... dommage...Certains films sont bien meilleurs en VFQ, ce qui est le cas de "Moana" (mais aussi de "Kung Fu Panda", "Chicken Little", "En eaux troubles (The Meg)", "Hot Fuzz", "Date limite", "Les Stagiaires", "Push"... et bien d'autres...).- Du coup, j'ai testé pour la première fois "Amazon.ca", et je ne suis pas déçu. La livraison a été très rapide (j'ai tout de même payé 19,29€ pour cette livraison), le colis était fait d'une enveloppe bulle (ce qui est bien mieux qu'en France), et est arrivé sans le moindre dommage.> Le film :- L'image est vive, le contraste et les couleurs sont bien dosés, et les noirs rendent l'image assez sombre pour les scènes adaptées. Le master est assez fin pour détailler l'image de façon poussée, et offrir des images magnifiques (de jour comme de nuit).- La bande-son (VFQ) est d'assez bonne qualité : Dolby Digital - AC3 - 5.1ch - 640kbps (le format DTS à un débit de 1509kbps aurait été apprécié). L'effet multidirectionnel est bien géré sur l'ensemble du film, ce qui donne une bonne immersion en général. Les graves, les moyens et les aigus, sont globalement assez équilibrés suivant les scènes, avec des dialogues toujours très limpides. On a une bande-son très correcte; donc pas de gros reproche à faire de ce côté.- Le contenu supplémentaire (les bonus) sont suffisants, ce qui fera plaisir aux amateurs.Au final, cette édition Blu-ray est très satisfaisante dans l'ensemble.Seul défaut pour moi, la jaquette qui est en version US, mais bon... on va pas trop chipoter. :)

Good quality. We bought it for the Czech language option. Funny that it's called Vaiana in Europa instead of Moana.
