Review of Moana

Moana (I) (2016)
7/10
Enjoyable Cartoon Covering Hawaiian Culture and Youth
24 November 2016
7.1 of 10. Not up to the high standards that Sausage Party set for cartoons this year, but it definitely fulfills Disney's standard for creating inspirational stories for youth that intertwine with mythology and culture.

It's also better than Kubo and the Two Strings, which it's more likely to be compared to given the importance of water in the story. The water animation itself is also better in Moana, from the transparency to the movement of the creatures in it.

This should be a very enjoyable cartoon for girls and young women. Certainly above the crop of 2015 cartoons.
