Those little accurate details in the movie, such as tribal tattooing/tattoos, traditional dance, clothing and architecture gave the movie a breath of genuine life. According to ScreenSlam’s interview with Clements and Musker, Musker stated that they visited several Polynesian islands and that the development team for the film didn’t “just set up a trip that was a boondoggle, that was not a bunch of drinks with little umbrellas in them, but actually talking to people connected to the culture, and getting a deeper sense of that it was all about…what their values were, what they considered to be important.” What made this film captivating is directors Ron Clements’ and John Musker’s attention to detail in their research of Polynesian culture. While the celebration of Polynesian culture is moving and a powerful step in the right direction for Disney Animations, there were still moments that the film stayed in it’s formula storytelling. The visual story telling is absolutely iridescent, even for Disney’s high standards. They go on their quest to travel across the ocean to restore the stolen heart of the island goddess Te Fiti. The story centers around Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) and her journey across the ocean with the egocentric demi-god Maui (played by Dwayne Johnson). Disney’s new animated feature tells the story of Moana, a beautiful young woman with a fierce love for her heritage, but also for adventure beyond her island. ![]()
