modern CG animated films always have females with huge eyes. so you probably think of Tip because of her wavy hair, brown skin, not-petite nose, and huge eyes.

Just me or does this look like an older Tip from Home

I thought Lilo and Stitch had pretty “fresh” music. And when the Vuelie started playing at the beginning of Frozen, people sat up and paid ATTENTION.

YES. The hype for this is bigger than Frozen was before it’s release. There is already a Moana fanbase! I agree, its way to early to predict. But Dwayne Johnson was said to be crying after watching the clips shown at D23, he said he is so deeply moved by being a part of this movie. If Dwayne Johnson CRIES, I rest my case, this will be a pretty good film. I’m not taking it way too seriously though with the box office predictions. Just having fun theories. But for a fact, Moana will be a hit at the least by Wreck it Ralph and Tangled numbers.

The grand irony here is that Moana, even well before its release, has become the most overhyped animated feature around, at least among Disney/animation fans (a miniscule portion of the movie-going public). I just hope it’s at least a decent movie, and if it is, then I hope that it does well at the box office. If it’s even better and does even better, than great, but you guys must be psychic to know so much with such absolute certainty!

None of this is the movie’s fault, so I won’t hold this against it. I wish that I could say the same for people in general should the movie not QUITE meet their sky-high expectations….

YES

Given that they auditioned in New Zealand, Hawaii, Tahiti and Samoa for actual pasifika voice actors, if they go for an american with just Hawaiian decent, that’s still less than awesome.
