Moana

[Guest cooby]

Somebody I know's daddy bought Moana for her today, and she is pretty excited about it

My grandkids saw it and liked it.
But the star who sang the nominated song at the Oscars was awful.
I hope it is better in the actual movie.

I've been watching it in bits and pieces with a yappy three year old

Which song is it 62?

[Ceetar]

I enjoyed this. was fun. Ceetarette was iffy about it at first but she happily rewatched it in one sitting so she must have liked it a bit at least.

Which is good because we're going to a Moana themed twins 4th birthday party in a few weeks. Anyone know where I can get a coconut costume to dress up as a Kakamora?

This is my 4-year-old's new Frozen. She would watch it multiple times a day if I'd let her.

[Ceetar]

I think I'm gonna get facepaint and a basic coconut hat thing and just do that.

Or I could go as Maui but apparently that's "cultural appropriation" or something.

[Guest cooby]

My granddaughter and I are loving moanas and her grandmas outfits. Me, mostly because I wish I could dress that lightly all year

[Vic Sage]

my family loved it, particularly Lin-Manuel's songs.

I love how the crab's "Shiny" song is simultaneously an homage to David Bowie and unmistakably a Lin-Manuel Miranda tune.

Jermaine Clement is also great at channeling Bowie.

Disney's animated films are . . . consistent. You won't find a bad one, but it's been a long time since there was a great one (the most recent I can think of was Mulan). Aardmann and Laika are making far better movies, and even Pixar -- which lately has had some duds -- managed with Inside Out

The problem with Disney is that they always play it safe.

Moana is fine, but pretty much routine.
