Animation Disney's 'Moana'

[Drizzle]

I didn't realize until now that Alan Tudyk is to Disney Animation as John Ratzenberger is to Pixar. I forgot that he was in Big Hero 6.

So the rooster talks or what?

^ I doubt it. Disney has been avoiding the "talking animal sidekick" cliché lately.

Anyway, I like those characters a lot. Can't believe both parents are alive, I thought at least the mother would for sure be a goner.

I think there was a talking animal in "Finding Dory"

 

[Abudefduf]

Zootopia had a couple of them, too. I'm talking about movies starring human characters, of course.

First look at the main villain of the movie, the Lava Witch. Yep, it's basically a teaser for a teaser.

Actually, it was a TV spot, not a trailer. Yeah, I'm pissed, too.

Aw.

I bet she wishes to the earth and the stars up abovea to send her someone to lava

I do dig the vibe of this, it does feel like Aladdin/Little Mermaid regarding the humor.

Looks lovely, but did we really need a 15 seconds teaser for a 1 minute tv spot? We're reaching new lows.

And lol at this comment:

Lin-Manuel Miranda can start writing his Oscar acceptance speech.

There's no way that the tattoos aren't at least a little inspired by the beginning of Hercules. It makes sense too because it's the same directors.

Taika Waititi is one of the writters. nice

 

[Silvermoon]

So looking forward to this, already loving the music

15 Fascinating Facts About the Making of Disney's Moana

I think this item that stood out to me the most:

2) Filmmakers hired a council of experts to fact-check everything

“In Tahiti, one of the elders said ‘We’ve been swallowed by your culture. One time, can you be swallowed by our culture?’” explained Clements. “We took that very seriously.” To make sure their film was bound to history and culture, the filmmakers recruited a team of local experts nicknamed “The Oceanic Story Trust.” The group advised on the story, names, dialogue, and cultural references, and made sure Moana was staying true to the ideals and customs of the South Pacific. “They know so much and we felt a responsibility to them,” said Musker. “[We kept] them involved so we can keep this right.”

Good mindset Disney

It's possible to be historically accurate and comedic at the same time.

Literally can't wait to see this. The oceanic story trust sounds as cool as the justice league

Is it just me or is Moana a lot thinner than she used to be?

 

[Abudefduf]

^ I dunno, she looks the same to me.

[Lencho01]

Looks fantastic.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Visually amazing.

From what I've heard there are some shenanigans around changing the title in Italy and other parts of Europe due to a popular porn star named Moana.

For Germany, this seems to be the reason...
