Gotta say, I agree ! It was a good movie. I feel like it told the story MUCH better than Zootopia, speaking of the character dynamics. That's the one thing I noticed they had in common.

Judy just felt like your bland GRRLL POWAH workaholic prissy girl and Nick your stereotypical a*hole who's gonna turn good eventually. In here, I felt the development in both Moana and Maui much more fleshed out. The way she wants to venture to help her people, the way she manipulated Maui in the right way, the way the movie punished Maui every time he acted like an a*hole, the hardship both of them had to endure and the pay-off they got both at the end of the day.

I kinda wished they did become a couple, but meh......Disney still at it with its anti-old tropes agenda.

The few downsides I can find are : Hei Hei is a totally useless character, Tamatoa deserved much more screentime, same for Lalotai in general. And I wished they ditched the genre-savvy smartass part about Maui, especially since it was under-developed and it was clear they were unsure whether to make him full genre-savvy like the Genie or not. The Tweet joke gave me rash........

But overall, I really think this was the first good movie Disney made in the past 3 years !
