Title: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 18:03:28: Disney's new movie coming out tomorrow November 22 (23?). Staring Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
(http://img.lum.dolimg.com/v1/images/flex_moana_header_ddaba7de.jpeg?region=0,0,1920,1436)
"An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master way-finder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she always sought: her own identity."

Is anyone going to see it? I'm probably going to. What do you guys think of it?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 18:15:26: Found it.

For some reason, this didn't pique my interest.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-21 18:18:06: This is going to sound horrible.... I am not fond of the character designs.

And when I saw Moana, all I think of is MOANING. MOAN-UUHHHH.

I will probably see it when it is rentable.

Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-21 18:19:42: This movie has me very much interested.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Smiles2us on 2016-11-21 18:21:58: I think it looks fun and all, but I probably won't see it unless I go with someone who wants to see it.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 18:24:19: A lot of people don't seem to be interested in this movie. Even among my friends. I feel they didn't advertise much for this movie. But it's apparently good. Early access critiques and stuff seem to really like it. I'm excited to see how they do the Hawaiian stuff. It would be cool.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-21 18:30:24: Reminds me of Lilo & Stitch. I alway liked Lilo's older sister as a kid. :) Uhhh.... she was cool, okay.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 18:31:32: This is old school Hawaii, with all their cool legends and gods. Lilo and Stitch was awesome. Loved their designs and the story. But yeah, I'm looking forward to this :)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 18:32:22: Her sister was a "cool character." Yep. :) Not because of how she looked, it was because she was cool. Honest. *Fingers crossed.*
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Smiles2us on 2016-11-21 18:33:10: I hope it does well, and it is cool is old world, Hawaii. I wonder if Hawaiian's will be upset if they butcher their past and traditions?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 18:36:57: Disney does do their research, as does Pixar. I'm sure they tried to the best of their abilities. And they weren't insulted with Lilo and Stitch. And that had some Hawaiian stuff (obviously).

And lol APD.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Smiles2us on 2016-11-21 18:40:31: That's true, Lilo & Stitch was done considerately.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-21 19:04:18: It is visually appealing, I will give it that. But it didn't garner much interest with me or anyone I know. I have been trying to figure out why. The tv ads don't explain what the story is about, and that might be a reason.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:08:00: And just not much ads in general.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-21 19:16:16: I don't feel Disney has a lot of faith in the film, hence the poor advertising. Companies for some reason give up all hope on films when they feel they aren't good, and they don't even try to salvage them. That is the impression I am getting from Disney.

It should be the opposite. They are currently on a high from Zootopia, and you think they would market that with it, but this film isn't made by the Zootopia writers... it is the Big Hero 6 crowd, which had a lot of advertising, but didn't do well. So I feel Disney cut back their advertising with this group.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:18:41: Big Hero 6 still did good in the box office though. Bottom dollar, but got little better then average reviews.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:20:37: Hm. Odd. It seems Disney doesn't try hard with their colored main characters *pouty duck lips*
But nah, I'm looking for things that aren't there.

Wish they'd do a Hispanic main character. But that's just me haha. But I think this'll be fun. And I think Moana is really pretty. I'll be sad if this is a good movie and doesn't do successfully.

You are. ;) They promoted the snot out of Lio & Stitch and the Princess and the Frog.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:23:51: Disney has made a animated CGI princess for Mexico, and she is a Hispanic Princess. She just isn't known in the US, but her toys are here. I think they released her film as a direct to video movie here.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:30:50: Princess and the Frog wasn't as big a financial success though :/

Why wasn't it in America? I mean, there's Princess Sofi. But she's white. Because she's Hispanic. They bamboozled people there before her release lol.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:33:07: I don't know. They did release her on DVD here, and Hispanic kids probably know about her.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:34:06: But why on DVD? did they feel it wouldn't be successful?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:41:44: It wasn't made to the highest quality. It was made by like a television studio. So it was a lower standard of animation that developing country wouldn't care about, but wouldn't pass in developed country theaters.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:53:27: Blegh!
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:57:07: Another Disney Hispanic princess was Princess Elena. She isn't well known.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 19:59:10: I've never heard of any of these.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 19:59:51: Lol! Welcome to the club.

This Elena person is in that show, Sofia the First.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 20:04:34: Oh. That's not brown though :p it's still white haha
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-21 20:34:13: I'm exited for this Movie! ;D
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: FoxTail on 2016-11-21 21:15:06: It artistically looks beautiful, but I have no idea what the synopsis is. Once I find that out, it might interest me more. :)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 21:23:12: Well, I posted what summary I got.

Hey, Dee, why do you randomly capitalize random words in sentences?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 21:27:20: Emphasis probably. It is sort of what I do when I want to make a point or randomly START TO YELL! ;)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 21:29:46: But it seems really random sometimes. Like just random capitalization.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 21:33:36: It's ok. We all Have our Quirks. Oh, you think I am doing something Weird here? Nope. This is How I Normally type. What? Huh? ;)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 21:35:49: Nuuuuuu! Stap! Ahhhhhhhh! Not proper punctuation and stuff, aaaaaargh! *writhes in agony*
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 21:39:04: Not prooper Puncutation? Whut r u talkin Bout? I be speakin normel. this is How I Always talk my friend did you see how Well I Spelled This All i am so gud at it
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 21:59:55: My eyes!!
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-11-21 22:05:31: I didn't even know this was something coming out to theaters. I've never heard of it or seen it before.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 22:06:59: Wow.... Seriously? They really didn't try at all with advertising did they...

Well I just keep on posting capitalize when it comes to Movies and Shows.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-21 22:37:04: It's not really proper. Movie does not need a capitlization and neither does show unless you are talking about the specific show itself, then the title of it is capitalized. Like example: Spongebob Squarepants.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-21 22:43:05: Oh ok.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-21 22:45:00: I guess advertising is pretty poor for this movie. I did see an ad for it while watching the football game though, so that was a lot of viewers who saw it.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-11-21 23:20:13: Visually this looks to be eye candy. I particularly like the change in character style, taking attributes that are not neccesarly deemed "beautiful" in the Euro-centric world view we have, and making these two delightfully, and visually appealing characters.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-23 12:46:16: Ratings and attendance will start trickling out at the end of today for the movie. It releases today.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-23 12:50:53: Going to see it tonight.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-23 12:52:25: Let us know your thoughts. Have fun. :)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-23 17:22:04: Gonna probably see it tomorrow
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-24 17:58:09: Saw it. Love it. Won't spoil it
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-24 18:32:07: Cool, excited to see it tomorrow.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-24 19:50:49: this is the first disney movie in a while that made me want to download the whole soundtrack. Which I did. It's catchy. And hey. The Rock can sing.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-24 20:42:33: The Rock can.... Sing? Wut.

But huh, I bet it has a nice soundtrack. It's a very beautiful looking movie, it should have a beautiful soundtrack to accompany it. Some nice island themed stuff maybe? I look forward to it ^^
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-11-25 00:02:32: I sure hope you bought that soundtrack....
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-25 07:33:24: Oh, yeah me too. Considering you liked it a lot.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Darrin on 2016-11-25 14:36:29: Had a relative who saw, they enjoyed it a lot. Granted, they are a kid. ;) The parents also enjoyed it.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-25 15:23:29: The kid is correct. By the time this movie comes out on bluray I'll have already seen it multiple times.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-25 15:29:44: Just got out of the theaters. It was a very nice movie. Beautiful animation, a nice sountrack and some pretty good songs.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Smiles2us on 2016-11-25 17:22:35: I heard there was some traditional animation in this film that was excellent. That's all I know. I had a friend who went and saw it, and they said it was "cute" but then said how much they liked the traditional animation parts in it. Then the subject changed quickly.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-25 17:42:53: The traditional animation is the tatoos lol.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-11-25 17:46:37: Ooooh, how was the traditional animation, was it good?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-11-25 18:01:04: Nevermind, I found some in a trailer.

For anyone else who is interested...
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-25 18:10:54: I mean.... It just looked like CG lol. It didn't like stand out as glaringly out of place, so that's good.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-25 18:25:55: I liked the tats. I like how they acted.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-25 18:34:10: I like how they had their own small personalities. Or more accurately acted as his conscious.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-25 18:42:08: Did you stay for the post credits scene?
Title: Re: Moana

Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 13:23:30: I just got back from seeing the movie, it was amazing! ;D
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-26 13:30:20: It was definitely a fun movie. Let's avoid overt spoilers, let's wait a while before talking about details, just in case.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 13:35:23: I wont spoil the important parts of the movie. But there is one musical number that was out of nowhere which was THIS!

Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-26 14:07:58: Hmm, sort of spoilers. As it being an out of the blue song is part of its charm lol.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 14:10:35: Well it was a Big lipped Alligator Moment.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-26 14:14:58: Exactly. It's part of the surprise.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Smiles2us on 2016-11-26 16:38:31: So I heard that Dwayne Johnson sings in this? How was his singing? ;)
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-11-26 16:49:00: I Thought he was actually pretty frickin good
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-26 17:19:34: I think he smooths up his voice for the role in general, so it's not so... Gruff sounding but still got that punch.
His singing voice was like wow. I was shocked. He's pretty dang good.
And they didn't list another va as the singer in the credits, so it was his.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Rainberry on 2016-11-26 17:43:07: I always like how he isn't too tough or cool to do kids films. :) He's a rock, with a heart.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 17:45:22: Well if any of you watch the Nostalgia Critic, then you would know what Big Lipped Alligator Moment means.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-26 17:53:34: It's a trope. It's called BLAM.
But the point is that the song is BLAM and just like Wut. If someone knows it's coming it's not so "wait the hell, why is their singing music starting up... Oh no!" This dude was weird lol. Not even the kids in the theater I was in laughed during it, I think we all had the same "huh" expression during his whole scene XD
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 17:59:22: Same! XD
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-26 23:46:30: But here is another non important spoiler that I have for people who have not seen the movie yet and thinks that there might be sneezing in there. There were not any sneezes in the movie sadly. :'(
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-27 01:18:42: I don't think it's sad there aren't any sneezes lol they weren't needed.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-27 08:23:46: Sometimes it can be concerned if there would be any sneezes in movies or not.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-27 08:25:01: Your sentence confused me. What?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2016-11-27 08:26:38: Oh what I was meaning is that when it comes to movies, it is hard to tell if there will be any sneezes in a movie or not.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-27 08:51:49: Oh. Eh. It doesn't matter to me. It's not like I'll go watch a movie if there's a chance a sneeze is in there lol.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: 1234 on 2016-11-27 09:06:51: Now I don't understand LP's sentence... ^^'
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-11-27 09:38:25: Fak. Autocorrect.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-01 23:48:24: A friend of mine, who is a girl (like how I have to point that out?), said she loved this movie. She fan girls over a lot of stuff, but she said this movie made her bawl her eyes out.

Is there a reason to cry in this movie?

She also said she cried at "How to Train Your Dragon 2" which I also haven't seen.... I'm sensing she cries a lot.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-01 23:52:34: There are some sad moments in the film yes. It's Disney. What else would you expect?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-01 23:56:00: But is it worthy of crying over? I've never cried at a film... but I can understand if something it truly cry-able.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-02 00:21:54: It's not. I didn't cry. It's emotion packed, but I don't think it's meant to make you cry.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-02 00:22:44: Inside Out. That's a movie thats meant to make you cry.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-02 00:24:17: Yes I do admit, the ending moment did make me cry. As much as I try not too, I do tear up.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-12-02 20:22:29: Tears? It makes me smile to read this.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2016-12-03 20:03:16: SIlverwing do you feed on our tears?
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-03 21:59:45: Rewatched the movie. Still holds up beautifully.

Title: Re: Moana

Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-18 08:04:44: Damn bro. I would watch it a bunch too, but I'm poor. That Shiny song, actually the more I listened to it the less it was a BLAM type song. What he sings is relevant and the things he brought up are discussed later. The first time watching it I didn't realize, I didn't listen that much to the lyrics because I was so surprised.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-18 11:24:04: Well what a coincidence. My dad hasn't seen the movie, so we've gone to go see it.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2017-01-20 17:14:26: As great as this movie was. I was kinda sad that the pig Pua did not go on the journey and I wish he did. :(
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-20 18:01:49: The commercials made it seem it was gonna be him on the journey.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Blurr on 2017-01-20 18:02:17: Eh. I kinda like the chicken better.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-20 18:06:35: The chicken worked better in the story definitely. He was endearing, but the piggy was so cute.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: DEEcat98 on 2017-01-20 23:13:57: I just thought it would have made the movie more fun if Pua went on the journey like he and Hei Hei went on the boat together to join Moana.
Title: Re: Moana
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-01-20 23:21:04: Pua wouldn't have assisted on the journey like Hei Hei did. Some things are done for story purposes.
