16) Read the IMDB user reviews for Moana. Copy and paste three user reviews for the film into your blogpost – one good, one bad, one in the middle.

1.The cinematography was beautiful it really shows that the creators have done their research. I love the bright colors and gorgeous sceneries. It would appear that Disney's new approach to movie making is starting to pay-off, by remaking their old animated movies into real-life and mocking their old movies with their new 3D-animated movies, they are breathing new life into their movies. As aforementioned in the introduction Moana is a must see movie that won't disappoint.

2.The protagonist is Moana, an absolutely average Disney princess type of character that wants to say no to being stuck in a life of safety and luxury. We've seen it a thousand times by now, it's nothing that stands out or even something logical in the long run since these types of sheltered characters do not know anything about the outside world and are in effect useless on their own.


3."Moana" is once again another great animated movie from Disney. It has everything that a great Disney animated musical should with some great animation, great songs, great stories and great characters. It may not be as good as "Zootopia", but it still really really good. I really enjoyed it. All I can say to Disney is "thank you".

19) Read this Empire review of Moana. Why does it say Moana is similar to Frozen?
It has mighty music and there is parallels between Hamilton as it set on a tropical island to achieve greatness.

1.That they were made with the same producer.
2. Also the main heroin is a independent woman.
3.They both have catchy songs. 

21) Having researched the film, why do you think Moana was so successful at the box office? 
Because it has really successful reviews also they had star name check 'Dwayne Johnson' so it attracts his fans and lots of familys would want to take their children to watch as it shows culture appropriation.
