So where's the best place to find some? Character depth is obvious and irresistible. Moana is a beautiful, funny, and narratively broad feature that'll entertain the kids with its wildly-fun action scenes and impress the older audiences with its deeper narrative themes and much appreciated throwbacks to good old Disney animated musicals. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she's always sought: her own identity. Reds and oranges from the volcanic fires and the black and white of the night skies, full of stars, are also major highlights. Woods, woven rugs, attire, sandy beaches, every element the film has on offer dazzles.
It walks that very fine line between a blast of an animated feature and one that's beautifully thematic narratively. Inner Workings 6:26 — The animated short cartoon that showed in theaters before Moana is available to watch in 3D on the 3D disc or in 2D on the normal Blu-Ray disc. The duo discuss their inspiration for the movie, the animation, performances, the film's songs, and more. Almost all of the comments on are asking the same question, where's the 4K release? Probably the most refreshing aspect of all of this is that all of it is presented with a refreshingly natural and unforced delivery. He offers some of the films biggest laughs.
Moana's narrative strengths are immediately obvious. That was a little surprising to hear in a movie like this, though. Moana's village is alive with the sounds of leaves rustling, birds chirping, and people talking. The film's action sequences offer standout surround envelopment. We also see some great footage of the actors getting involved and singing while recording in the studio. They shoot spears and blow darts at our heroes, who fight back by swatting them around. Fans are invited to warm up those vocal cords and set sail with an all-new Moana sing-along version launching in more than 2,000 theaters nationwide on Jan.
Moana voiced by Auli'i Cravalho is one of the many who are part of a Polynesian-esque tribe. More emotionally challenged notes like Auli'i Cravalho's Oscar-nominated How Far I'll Go are just as appreciated, if not even more. Post the source as the submission if it's from DeviantArt or Tumblr, or in the comments if it's from another site. The blues of the ocean waves and the daytime skies are gorgeously rendered and beautifully presented with lifelike saturation that could simply pass for photorealistic. Moana earns my highest recommendation.
Jemaine Clement doesn't fall short either as the greedy Tamatoa, showcasing all of his gloat and villainry with surprise and gusto. It is Estimated to be releasing onto Netflix sometime in June 2017. Submit your findings in the comments and I'll add them to the first comment. Fast-forward to November of the same year and we get the gorgeously animated Moana, a briskly-paced tale of adventure, mythology, and a hilarious comic relief chicken. The predictability at times is forgivable, but it does tend to steal away the impact some of those moments are meant to have. I also got it price-matched at Target showing them the Best Buy price I found, and listed below.
Animation is fantastic; not only is it expectedly bright and colorful, but every single detail seems to really spring to life, whether waves on the ocean, breezy trees, or the interior of a dim cave. It consists of four parts: Mini-Maui, which looks at the animation process behind Maui's tattoos, Water, which looks closer at one of the film's most primary aspects, Lava, which includes the process behind animating Te Ka, and finally Hair, which takes a look at one of the toughest aspects of animation. Moana 3D — The gorgeous animation in the film is perfect for the 3D format. Again, elements of the environmentalism in their culture, like treating the ocean as a being, or reincarnation, will be off-putting to some. Disney Animation seems to be taking the Illumination Entertainment route of things, by releasing two films in the span of one single year.
To be fair, it is highdefdigest, so I expect they want to digest the highest def they can. This was simply one of the best looking Blu-rays, 4K included, that I have ever seen. A dying grandmother tells Moana to set sail, meet the legendary Maui, and restore the heart of te Fiti. Banding, aliasing, and other animated movie-prone issues are absolutely nonexistent. Tickets are available at El Capitan Theatre 6838 Hollywood Blvd. A huge crab threatens to eat a person, and several scenes involve battling with a lava monster that has a humanoid form with glowing yellow eyes.
Deleted Scenes with Intros 26:01 — There are several deleted sequences shown in storyboard form with introductions from the two directors and scratch vocals instead of the real actors. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped — and no one knows why. Moana is eventually accompanied on her quest by Maui, her hero, who also happens to be a demi-god. The film is everything one would expect of a great Disney animated feature; wonderful animation, top-notch voice performances, phenomenal songs, exciting action sequences. Details are just as impressive.
Music, whether the sung numbers or adventurous background score, is effortlessly powerful with an incredible saturation across the entire stage without ever being too powerful or too quiet. Whether a Kakamora attack involving piercing arrows and menacing coconut creatures or bigger, more intense battles with a lava monster, we as the listeners get the sensation that we're right with Moana and Maui as the action takes place. Dwayne Johnson doesn't disappoint as well. A young woman uses her navigational talents to set sail for a fabled island. Joining her on the adventure is her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui. Spiritualism aside, the movie is an excellent animated feature.
