I had to go to the campus health center tonight bc I was having an anxiety attack and the nurse let me watch this on her computer so shoutout to jennifer
Not only is Moana the best animated film I've seen in 2016, it's one of the better films I've seen in general in 2016!
Moana >>> Frozen.
This is probably my favorite animated film since Toy Story 3. Yes, I enjoyed Moana that much!
even if i have kids, i will NEVER feel as proud of them as i am of moana of motunui. and i'll tell them that. it'll be a great conversation piece for parent-teacher conferences.
A goddess of life, of verdure, of creation, is sought out by a masculine force of divine power, and for a time, becomes infernal, until she is restored in a moment of regret by the same masculine force. Then, spring returns. Her name is Persephone, kidnapped by Hades at the discretion of Zeus, then later restored (for part of the year) by Zeus again. The pieces, places, people are different. The story is structured in a different way. New elements are introduced in different versions. A woman knows herself, but dominant masculine forces erase it. She remembers herself when they are changed by her restorative powers; a woman knows herself but is unseen until she restores herself. The elements shift…
sure, moses parted the red sea, but did the ocean choose him to restore the heart of te fiti and save the world??? no????? lmao next

So pleasing in its aesthetic depiction of elements corresponding along with Moana's main journey that you'll cry from the sheer beauty of each beat in its obstacle structure. The environment is seamless in how it represents emotion by literally rising to life as dancing textures and substances - renditions of internal state - within her familiar quest. Its specificity matters, clinging to the beauty of showcasing an underrepresented culture taking the reins in a decidedly accustomed Mythic system. Unequivocally gorgeous and warm.
