Just a heads up there's going to be a lot of sad personal stuff brought up so if आप don't want to read this that's totally understandable.
Today's rewatch: Moana
Last time watched: July 6, 2017
How much did I like this movie when it came out?
I had some reservations about this movie because I didn't know for sure if it was going to be good especially since I hadn't seen too much stuff about it. But after hearing How Far I'll Go I knew I wanted to watch this movie even if it was just to hear that song on the big screen. My husband and I saw it for my birthday and even though the villain twist seemed a little meh to me, I still had an amazing time watching it and I loved the soundtrack so much that I downloaded all the songs that night for my flight the अगला दिन (I was visiting family for the holidays). While on the flight I listened to the song on repeat for several hours (12-15 hours including layover). Then while visiting my प्रिय for क्रिस्मस I saw Moana again after only just seeing it a couple days before and then I bought the official soundtrack which, once again, was played on repeat when one of my sisters and I were on a 2 1/2 drive to my dad's. I ended up preordering the dvd and bluray and got promotional तस्वीरें from the movie (just like with The Little Mermaid :P) and of course as soon as it was delivered I begged my husband to have us watch it that night.
On July 6, 2017, the last time I watched this movie, I had gotten a phone call from my mom. She told me that my dad, who had been diagnosed with cancer only a few months before and wasn't strong enough to get the treatment he needed, wasn't going to make it through the night. I was living in Indiana at the time with my husband while my entire family was in Washington so there was no way I was going to make it there in time to say goodbye. I didn't even see him after he was diagnosed, I thought there would be और time. I was getting married in September and his first grandchild was going to be born in November. I had been hoping and praying that he was going to be able to make it that long but instead we were going to lose him and I never got to see him या say goodbye. After the phone call I began to sob on the livingroom couch. My husband was working that night so I was घर alone. I needed something to distract me from the pain so without thinking I put in Moana, laid on the सोफ़ा, सोफे while clutching the stuffed dog he gave me for my 18th birthday, and just watched the movie. As the movie went on there were scenes where I was sobbing; Moana saying goodbye to her grandmother, Maui leaving Moana, and Moana giving back the heart. द्वारा that time the pain was starting to be too much until...Gramma Tala came to Moana. I suddenly felt this small comfort that even though my dad was leaving me forever, he would still be with me in my heart. I owe this movie so much for being there for me on the worst night of my life, I'll always be grateful to Moana, both the movie and the character.
Why I प्यार this movie so much:
I feel like a broken record saying this but I प्यार the एनीमेशन so much! The different designs of the characters and how they actually have realistic body types, the ocean, the 2D style एनीमेशन used for some of the scenes, Te Ka's lava, everything.
As I've कहा before, I प्यार the soundtrack for this movie. It's not as great as Aladdin's या The Little Mermaid's but it at least has a better soundtrack than Frozen.
Baby Moana still puts a big smile on my face. I have a huge soft spot for cartoon शिशु like Littlefoot and Tarzan and Moana is on that सूची with how kind and adorable she is.
Something I प्यार about this movie is that this movie focuses on Moana actually accepting her role as future chief without अभिनय like it's a death sentence and having her save her people and her घर while working with a male companion without shoehorning a romance in. I प्यार डिज़्नी फिल्में with romance but it is refreshing to see a female lead without a romantic partner especially with all the डिज़्नी फिल्में we have with male leads with no प्यार interests.
There's a प्रशंसक theory that I like to consider to be canon about the दिल of Te Fiti, how it kept Gramma Tala alive this whole time until she gave it to Moana, and it was because of the दिल that Moana was able make it through her journey safely, including going beyong the चट्टान, रीफ even after almost drowning the first time earlier that day.
I have a hard time understanding why people hate Hei Hei या find him annoying. He was just a silly chicken! His reaction to being out in the middle of the ocean still gets me laughing every time.
I think my प्रिय easter egg in this movie has to be Baymax in the kakamora scene. It's just so funny to see that adorable friendly face in a sea (lol) of murderous pirates.
I still like the "if आप wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess" quote, the same with his "if आप start गाना I'm gonna throw up" line. I don't consider it an insult for princesses या take it too seriously, it's just fourth दीवार breaking humor, which happens to be one of my प्रिय types of jokes in shows and movies.
In my opinion I think there were way too many jokes in this movie but at least most of them were genuinly funny. My प्रिय jokes were शार्क head, Maui throwing Moana off the नाव several times, and "Ever defeat a lava monster?"/"No, have you?" There's some jokes I think could have been left out like the tweeting joke.
One of the things I प्यार the most about Gramma Tala is she doesn't give a speech या try to convince Moana to try again, instead she lets Moana decide for herself what to do अगला without making her feel ashamed of failing.
Princess:
I प्यार Moana as much as I प्यार the classic and renaissance princesses. There, I कहा it. She's not high on my सूची like Rapunzel is but I really don't think she deserves all the hate she gets. If आप don’t like her then whatever but I had a hard time seeing her as annoying या a Mary Sue या bland. It could just be me not seeing the big issues but either way I प्यार her. She was 12 on my सूची but now she's 9!
Movie:
As I कहा before I thought there were a little too many jokes and I thought the movie could do without the kakamora scene but I still had a fun time. This movie was 9 on my सूची but now it's 8
Rating: 7/10
Would I watch it again?
Yes!
अगला movie will be Brave/The Legend of Mor’Du!

Early concept art of Belle and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast; often considered the मैग्नम opus of the Walt डिज़्नी company was released on November 13, 1991. As most people know, it is the only traditionally animated film to तारीख, दिनांक to have garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. This may have been due to the approach to this film. It was so unusual for an animated film; having a screen writer, अभिनय director, flawless score, elements that were typically reserved for high-budget live-action films. So much care and detail was put into this film that entire पुस्तकें could be written about...
