I wish a larger portion of the song was done in this style:

But still very fun.

How Far I'll Go is DEFINITELY no Let It Go. Overall I thought the music was unmemorable. But I thought the same with Frozen's score except for the aforementioned Let It Go.

The Japanese trailer is out and HOLY SPOILERS. I can't even show the thumbnail because it's a spoiler.

Doug Walker's review. I'm glad he has caught on that Disney is making the same movie & characters over and over again

If these studios can do it, why not WDAS? Why do they get a free pass?

It's just as Sotiris implied previously; The Japanese trailer would be more authentic to the film's tone and feel, as they usually are. I didn't care for the first Japanese teaser of baby Moana, but it's become my favorite trailer for it to date.

And it's a pity how the hand drawn segments are generic.

And pardon my ignorance, but wasn't Flounder supposed to be in the scene? I couldn't find him.

Grace from Beyond the Trailer said something similar in her Moana review. How there's a "Disney checklist" (e.g., a strong female teams up with a snarky male) and how the movie is pleasant but a bit derivative.

This whole thing of dubbing the name in the English-language version of the film and soundtrack is really weird though. Has Disney done it before?
Not for character names, but I think they had to redub Zootopia for the European English version. Every time they'd say "Zootopia", they'd record a second version where they say "Zootropolis". Unless that was just the title and not the movie itself?
I think you're right. In the Spanish version they say Zootropolis in the movie too when they refer to the city, so I guess it's the same with the European English Version.

He wasn't too easy to find because of the style of animation and because his colours are a bit changed. Here it is: https://twitter.com/patrickzfilms/statu ... 6998464517

And here's Baymax: https://twitter.com/KH_Quote/status/793 ... wsrc%5Etfw

You've got to be kidding me! Is that supposed to be Flounder?! He doesn't even look on model! Why not at least giving him justice, since they did that with Pinocchio in Tangled, even though it was a CGI model of him!

At least Baymax has been shoehorned in a fitting way.

Vajen van den Bosch, the Dutch voice for Moana, performed 'How Far I'll Go' (the Dutch version 'Ooit zal ik gaan') on a Dutch Kids television show. I think she did a pretty good job! :)

Another Dutchie here. I adore Vayen. For once a celebrity casting that actually sounds great. Her high note towards shows she's a trained vocalist.

And a fun coincidence that her name matches so well with Vaiana.

I see these rave reviews all around, but did anyone else find the movie more than quite a bit underwhelming? It was gorgeous to look at, but I was bored most of the time. The characters were either bland or unappealing, the story felt like a mishmash of worn out tropes (I did like the ending, it was very Miyazaki-like), the jokes fell flat (who in their right mind decided to make that idiotic chicken the main comic relief?) and I didn't like any of the songs save for "How Far I'll Go" (and even then, only the end credits version).

I'm very disappointed since it's coming off the heels of Zootopia which I loved, and it's coming from Musker and Clements, but it didn't feel like a Musker and Clements movie at all. I never thought this would be the case, but it's gotten to the point where it's very hard for me to get excited about a Disney movie since for the last several years, they've been either a hit or miss for me, practically at an odd/even interval.

Yes, I was also very happy to hear she's the Dutch Moana/Vaiana! She's a great singer. I also really like the Dutch voice for Maui, René van Kooten, he's a very well trained vocalist too.
