Moana

Moana, the 56th film in Disney's animated film canon, is the story of the title character, a Polynesian chief's daughter, who goes on an adventure across the ocean to save her people from destruction with the help of a demigod. Newcomer Auli'i Cravalho, herself born in Hawaii, voices Moana alongside Dwayne Johnson as demigod Maui. The animation is top notch, the story is beautiful and inspiring, the voice acting is perfect especially with the chemistry between the two leads, and the comedy is on top. Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the songwriters of the movie, which is the strongest part of Moana as the music and songs themselves are far and beyond the best ones anyone can ever listen to even compared to Frozen's music. The fact that one of those songs is done by Johnson himself and does it so beautifully just shows how great and powerful the music is in this film. As a nice little fun note, there are moments in the film wherein they reference several tropes relating to many Disney animated films. Over all: 100%
