Review:

Musically second only to The Little Mermaid in my own personal ranking of Disney Animated Musicals and really a simple tale but oozing with charm, wonderful characters and amazing animation that feels like another character. The ocean comes to life (miles and miles ahead of the ocean in The Little Mermaid but that’s over 25 years difference!) and the dialogue is engaging, funny and poignant. My favorite character is actually Tamatoa, the crab voiced by Jemaine Clement who I thought stole the movie with his presence, visually and vocally. That song: ‘Shiny’ he sings is killer while the other song: ‘How Far I’ll Go’ is monumental and empowering. The movie was a beautiful experience.

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
