Synopsys:
Moana is a joyous tale of a Polynesian teenager’s quest to save her homeland, which boasts eye-watering visuals, earworm songs and heart-swelling messages about respect for the past and hopes for the future.![]()
As demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) jeers: “If you wear a dress and have an
animal sidekick, you’re a princess.” Yet 16-year-old Moana (beautifully
voiced by Hawaiian newcomer Auli’i Cravalho) is something else – an
explorer with a fire in her soul, passed down through generations. Her
father, Chief Tui (Temuera Morrison), insists that his people stay
within the bounds of the reef surrounding their island home of Motunui.
But Moana has fallen in love – not with some handsome suitor, but with
the sea. As a child, the waves parted for Moana (whose name means “deep
water”), marking her as the ocean’s chosen one. So when the time comes
to save the island’s failing ecosystem, it is Moana
who ventures into the wide blue yonder, drowning out her father’s
instructions to remain Where You Are with her own song celebrating How
Far I’ll Go.
Review:
Maui, voiced by Johnson, is created in the image of The Rock, a fact that has generated much derision among the Polynesians. It is, in fact, a bit disconcerting at first when Maui is revealed to be a demi-god sold on his own myth of greatness. With great flourish, he signs Moana’s oar, against her protestations, using the beak of her pet chicken and calling it “tweeting”. That’s the lamest joke in the film that otherwise lets situations do the talking. However, Maui grows on you, from the self-growing tattoos on his body telling his life’s tale, to the man bun he casually ties in the midst of a fight.
Most of the film involves Moana convincing Maui to venture on the task despite the fact that he no longer has his powers (and we know how that goes), and the two of them making their way to Te Fiti despite the hurdles, including a crab that loves shiny things.
Where Moana consistently hits the mark is the expanse it allows its heroine — the length and breadth of an ocean — with the film and the future of the world almost entirely resting on her shoulders. She silences one snarky remark from Maui by telling him she is “no princess”, and blossoms when she learns how to sail.
It’s a bit of a cheat that the sea helps her in her mission, but the film cleverly if not convincingly explains it too.
The songs are the most disappointing part of Moana, surprising given the wonderful opportunities on offer. But then you look at that girl, docking her boat, flashing a smile and promising a friend, “See you out there” — and a lot can be forgiven.
