Still, Moana differs from every other Disney production in many ways.
Indeed, the movie features two of the funniest animal sidekicks in animated films, Heihei and Pua. There are some aspects that stick to the company's formula: there is a princess who has to carry out a role that she doesn't quite like and there are even some animal sidekicks. Moana honors Disney's princess movies at its best, but it introduces certain features that turned this production, upon its release, into something refreshing. All of these things have made this princess an empowering role model for audiences all over the world. And although there is not a romantic story of love in this movie, there are plenty of love manifestations, such as Moana's affection for her community and her own family's love for her. This young daughter of the Motunui Chief is not afraid to face the ocean, to be miles away from her island, or to confront some of the worst kinds of monsters, as she has a goal in mind and the belief that she will accomplish it on her own. Instead, the story is centered on her mission - to help her village - and in order to fulfill it, she does not depend on any male figure. To top it all off, Moana is also the first to not have a love interest or a romantic relationship developing over the course of the film. Moreover, she is also the first Polynesian princess, which introduces this culture to the company's animated films. For starters, she is the first Disney princess with a realistic body type, in contrast to the thin, model-like figures that most princesses tended to have. Moana shattered quite a few structures within the company, from all perspectives. Such artistic decisions paid off, as Moana became a box-office hit, acclaimed by both audiences and critics, eventually garnering several major awards.Ī feature that set Moana apart from previous Disney productions was its character design. Inspired by Polynesian cultures and attempting to explain some phenomena experienced by voyagers in the area, Moana introduced several interesting elements that made it one of Disney's most innovative films, not only for the implementation of new animation techniques, but also for introducing characters far removed from the prototypical design that had previously been leading this company's productions. Starring Dwayne Johnson and Auliʻi Cravalho in her cinematic debut, this production follows the story of Moana, the daughter of Motunui's Chief, who is meant to follow her father's footsteps and lead their community, but after the island is struck by a blight, she is chosen by the ocean for a challenging mission: to sail off on a quest to find Maui, the demi-god who stole Te Fiti's heart, and escort him back to restore the natural order. Moana is a 2016 movie co-directed by Ron Clements and John Musker that, upon the time of its release, became Disney's 56th animated feature film.
