Title mistake, this is the YT version. :-)

im excited for this, i love disney movies! :)

One of Disney’s best looking animated films, especially the ocean vistas and the hair and eye effects for sure. Also, yeah, some catchy songs don’t hurt things either :)

When it comes to something like Moana, I know everyone probably thinks of Hawaiian and Samoan cultures when it comes to this movie, but for me, I associate it with Maori culture. The legends were pervasive in many Polynesian cultures, including Maori. Moana is also the Maori word for Ocean, and I believe it's also the word for Ocean in Hawaiian.

"It's like Mad Max on the water" OMG please do Waterworld (1995), it is literally Mad Max on the water.

Bob Loblaw

I think this is just an amalgamation of many different Polynesian myths from the different Polynesian islands.

Phillyman!!

A excellent movie starring The Rock is The Rundown 🔥🔥

rictus grin

i was thinking that there are a few documentary movies worth reacting to, like Peter Jacksons They Shall Not Grow Old, Hearts of Darkness the making of Apocalypse Now and Bowling for Columbine. anyone else think of any to add ?

Odd Thomas

The best Rock film is Southland Tales mkay

I absolutely LOVE this film. When it first came out I saw it multiple times in the theater, and I actually road-tripped to the ocean just so I could play the soundtrack and then jump in the water. The soul of film is the scene after their first attempt to get to Te Fiti, and they've been knocked Back in Time. Moana and Maui have the falling out where Maui blames her for the damage to his magic fishhook. He criticizes her in general, and says that the Ocean chose wrong when it selected her to help him return the heart, and then flies off. Moana, depressed and self-critical, returns the heart to the Ocean and tells it to pick another Chosen One. Moana then speaks to her beloved Gramma Tala’s spirit, who gets her to accept all that she has accomplished and why she is ‘special’, and she decides that she is going to finish the job after all. The scene is relatively standard so far, the late-film friction between heroes and “I’m not worthy” brief retirement is extremely prevalent in fiction. It’s a relatively good representation of the norm, especially with Gramma Tala and I love the song “I Am Moana” (Then again I love all the songs), but this isn’t really NEW. Nothing that I didn’t expect. Where it changes is how it resolves. What I expected after Moana resolved that she did deserve to be chosen was for the Ocean to deliver the heart to her again. For the Ocean to provide this final validation, the message “I was right to choose you”, but that’s not what happened. Instead, Moana jumped into the sea and swam down to pick up the heart. Herself. She has realized that the heart needed to be returned, and that she was worthy to return the heart, so SHE returned the heart. That is the entire film in a nutshell. Of course Moana still needs guidance, she’s only sixteen, and of course she needs help, she’s facing gods and monsters in battle, but she is the hero. Even the best of us need validation and support from those around us, but self-respect has to come from inside. Once you know your worth you don’t need somebody else to explain it for you, and if you don’t then nobody else can. Here, Moana knows her worth.

That final scene makes me want to play Spirit Island...

Moana is a film I like but don’t love, music is great though. I think my biggest issue with it is I can’t stand the stupid chicken. It’s a one joke sidekick and that one joke is lazy. It doesn’t help that Pua (the pig) was a fantastic sidekick that for some reason gets sidelined immediately for the stupid chicken. At least the sequel is going to fix that issue….even though I am really worried about the sequel being any good. Is there any way we can get a LGBT+ poll for Pride month? Some suggestions for the poll: Brokeback Mountain, Challengers, Moonlight, Pride, Tangerine, Bottoms.

Wreck It Ralph!!!!!!

Yay! now let's do Lilo & Stitch (2002) and The Emperor's New Groove (2000)!

AstralCars

Two Patreon versions! This is what we pay for! 😂

A Red Mage Named Blue

I think Belle from Beauty and the Beast is when Disney began using quirky and awkward leads for their princess movies

Sito

I guess the title is wrong

Stephen

You guys gotta watch Godzilla minus one it’s on Netflix now 🥲

Phillyman!!

Another Robin Williams movie is Mrs doubtfire!!

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

JoeNotCharles

I think The Little Mermaid is quirky and awkward too - even before she has to wobble around on land she's a a big geek who's into "gadgets and gizmos" and thingamabobs.

Aisara

here's a motion capture/animation movie request or put it in a poll The Adventures of Tintin (2011) Steven Spielberg directed it

REDR58

Alan Tudyk is credited at the end as “HeiHei /Villager #3” HeiHei is the name of the chicken.

Simon Pegged Me

I know the search feature isn't perfect, so I could have missed it, but have you two ever reacted to UP (2009). Because of its popularity, there's a good chance you saw it before starting the channel, in which case, forget it. Instead, react to The Jungle Book (1967). Its songs are great. Its most popular song, "I Wanna Be Like You," was sung by jazz great Louis Prima, and has been covered several times through the years by other jazz artists.

Cinebinge

hey Simon Pegged Me looool, I've seen up and the jungle book but I don't believe george has! :) -S

rictus grin

it's a musical so it would be a nightmare to edit but the kids film/musical Bugsy Malone (1976) Jodi Foster and Scott Bayo (long before he went a bit odd)

Thoko

Woah. That thumbnail looks like a threat. I feel like Samoan George is going to beat me up. I swear I have never clicked dislike on your videos, George. Honest!

Mr. J

Please watch Cloud Atlas 🙂
