Film review - Moana

Film review from Year 11 German student - Anthea Tillmann

Film review – Moana 04/12/2018
I watched today the Disney-animated film “Moana”. It’s a film from the year 2016, 107 minutes long and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. The theme song is “How far I’ll go” by Auli’i Cravalho and by Alessia Cara.
The film tells the story about Moana, who lives on a beautiful island in the South Pacific. She is the daughter of the chief of the village. When she was a very young girl, her grandma told her the story about a legendary demigod, Maui, who stole thousands of years ago the heart of a Te Fiti, a goddess who keeps the ocean alive. Moana became the chosen one who should bring the heart of the ocean back. She got it from her grandma. When she was stranded after a storm on a lonely island, she met the missing demigod Maui. Who helped her to bring it back. They made it and the islands stopped dying.
It is a very cute film, a family film. We learned about the culture with is a little bit similar to the Maori one. There are funny scenes but sad ones as well.
Summarised: It’s a good film, worth to watch it.
