What can I say except…what are we even doing? In this review, I’ll be looking into the 2026 live-action remake of Moana, and out of all the live-action remakes that Disney made, not only is this the most identical to the original, which in this case is the 2016 Moana, but that also makes it both among the most pointless and worst. It’s the same as what we got the year prior with the How To Train Your Dragon remake where we’re wasting time as these remakes are becoming more shot-for-shot.

it says a great deal when the best part of this remake was the time my screening’s audio cut out

Glad I watched Minions and Monsters over this.

In hindsight, I can live with it... When it's out on Disney+, it's certainly not worth watching in theaters. I haven't seen it yet, and I can pretty much guess what the outcome is already just by looking at the trailers and the scenes. Including the songs, maybe it's nice to hear they are sung well, but you know it's redundant when you can pretty much switch the audio from the original to the new one, and nobody will tell the difference. If you ask me, though, I'd rather be nice to it for basically just hearing the hypocrisy this film is getting just for being a remake specifically from "Disney." It's so unfair that DreamWorks gets more of a pass when it just did the same thing as it did with its movie, and yet this film get's backlashed for doing the same thing. There is no Middle lane!

My thoughts on the Moana remake is that it sucked and one of the most soulless live action remakes I’ve ever seen. Every scene feels exactly the same like the original animated film with no changes to the story, dialogue, songs, etc and I end up feeling frustrated. What the point of watching the live action remake of Moana when you can watch the animated film at home and even the second, despite finding it okay but forgettable at best, try to do something new in that one. Because of little changes it made on top of stiff acting including Dwayne Johnson, I’m sorry but I thought he was very bad with his acting in live action compared to his voice work in the animated movies along with his fake wig and body suit, washed out visuals, bad cinematography and lighting that made the scenes look fake on screen, bland direction, and uninspired characters, I end up finding it to be one of the worst live action remakes in general. I know I remember being more kinder to the Dragon remake than this one but at least that one looks more cinematic and faithful compared to this. Knowing how the remake is bombing at box office right now next to Supergirl and Masters of the Universe as one of this year’s summer flops, Disney should definitely put a pause on not remaking an animated film so soon and even though they’ll still continue to remake films like Tangled for example, but they need to wait until at least 10 years old to do anything about their films instead.

Glad I saw Minions & Monsters. That was actually a pleasant surprise and had much more soul to it as a love letter to classic cinema, and ironically better CGI monsters than the Moana remake. If there’s something to also take away from the remake, it’s that the Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes can be as unreliable and wrong as the Critic Score.

What can I say except... I'm saving my money for Minions and Monsters and Coyote vs ACME. I never liked the idea of this existing now, and I don't think I would like the idea if it were going to come out about a decade from now. And with this flopping at the box office, if a live-action remake of one of Disney's most popular movies nowadays won't get people in theatres, what live-action remake do you think would? I'd rather watch Moana 2 again than see this. Say what you will about that film, but at least it's not as pointless as this. P.S. It's funny how he mentioned Deepfaking in this because earlier today, this other YouTuber I'm subscribed to, Phantomstrider, also made a video about how he was Deepfaked for a video's thumbnail.

One thing's for sure: live-action Tamatoa is the newest nightmare fuel served on a broken dish by Disney...

Hunter O'Laughlin

I think it's wise you're saving your money for those films, especially Minions & Monsters. I saw it on Sunday and it was definitely a lot better than I expected. I didn't think a Minions film of all things would have more heart and passion compared to a Disney live-action remake, but here we are.

Live Action Maui is basically Dwayne Johnson wearing a Tommy Wiseau wig.
