Oh but they do in the sense that they affect the overall perception and attitude towards things, including influencing others even if not myself towards how again things overall are, Including the general mindset towards how you perceive such things, so in other words It may cause myself or others to think a certain way towards something else, evolving into something around those lines, let alone again feeling this kind of mindset which should not ever be accepted in this kind of way no matter what no matter how otherwise it may seem

I feel for u. Your words make sense to me cuz it is true that the more negativity that exists about a subject can influence others. I know a lot of things in my life which I did not give a fair chance too cuz I heard bad stuff about it from others so I assumed it was something bad....only to change my mind upon actually experiencing it. u seem to be very passionate and dedicated even if your passion is misdirected towards modern "Disney" which I do not consider to be real. I'm sorry u feel ganged up on though. Have u tried enjoying more of the classic films instead??? I think u would get better reactions than wasting it on the likes of this Tangled on the beach movie. U will find Pocahontas more fulfilling a true classic

Again, please be aware of the kind of language that you are using, because you’re doing the exact same thing that I’m Overall stating here, Stating things like “modern Disney is not real“ or “tangled on the beach movie“, which for the record I consider to be quite a lot better than the actual tangled movie you’re of course allowed to think the way that you do, and express your opinions, but please be aware of how You are expressing it and how authors may perceive and be influenced by it, like you even admitted above. Because you may be causing others to miss out on something that they let alone others may really like, and or prevent more things whether directly related to them or similar to them from happening because of the overall negative reaction and lack of overall success, EH?

[John Musker] prefers Katzenberg’s reign of terror to that which followed: “Moana was a very difficult project. It was our idea, but with Pixar and John Lasseter, our story kept changing hands. In the ‘90s, we had Jeffrey. He was an emperor, you know. But there weren’t 10 Jeffreys. Now, you have too many people to satisfy, before we didn’t have 15 directors telling you how to make the movie.

As a testament to the enduring love for Moana‘s characters, music, and story, the 2016 film was the most streamed movie across all platforms in 2023, according to Nielsen.

Since the Disney+ streaming service launched in late 2019, Moana has been among the four-most-watched films on any streaming service every year, according to Nielsen data. Fans have watched nearly 80 billion minutes of Moana, the equivalent of seeing the picture 748 million times. It’s also been in the streaming top 10 almost all of this year. The album has sold 5.6 million copies, according to Luminate Data, more than Coco and Encanto, two other recent Disney musicals, combined.

With over 13 billion viewing minutes accumulated on Disney+ in 2024, Moana finished as the most-watched streaming movie for a second consecutive year. The Disney favorite exhibited a bump in viewership towards the end of the year that coincided with the theatrical release of its sequel, Moana 2. This marks Moana’s most-streamed year ever and solidifies it as the most-streamed movie since 2020.

Music from Moana has new certifications from The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Including:

• "How Far I'll Go" is now 8x Platinum
• "You're Welcome" is now 7x Platinum
• "Tulou Tagaloa" is now Platinum

John Musker wrote:John Lasseter twisted our arms to make Moana CG. I was campaigning for making it a hybrid film. I thought the decision hadn't quite been made. "Let us do a few more tests on it," he kept saying. But when we had a big meeting with international marketing people, he told them: "And I want to announce Ron and John's next film, and it's going to be their first CG film!" "It is?" I thought. "Well, I guess it is."

[...] On Moana, we didn't write the script. Taika Waititi wrote the first draft, and then other writers came in. And we certainly had some very strong voices on that film. Our producer, who was a woman, and Pam Ribon, who was a writer, and other people were beating us up in some cases about story ideas. "Don't let our lead character Moana take backstage to Maui. Keep her up in the front!" they'd say. I wanted to do some things where it would have pushed Maui more to the front. I kept getting hit over the head. "No, no, no!"

[...] John Lasseter brought in the Pixar system of Story Trust over at Disney, where you're taking the movie and ripping it apart after you've screened it internally. Having meetings with fellow directors and story people shredding the movie and then reassembling it was difficult. Even in the days of Jeffrey Katzenberg, he would do a certain amount of that, but we wouldn't have a meeting of 20 people doing that. On Princess and the Frog, it wasn't quite that way; we were more in sync with John. On Moana, there was a greater struggle because there were more ideas coming up in those Story Trust meetings that were taking our movie in a whole different direction. It was a challenge to try and navigate that.

[...] When we pitched the idea for the film, it was based on Maui and I initiated it. I had always loved the paintings of Gauguin and the novels of Conrad and Melville that were set in the South Seas seemed so exotic and vivid to me and a great landscape for a movie. That led me to looking for some kind of mythology that goes with that area. I then discovered this rich mythology with the character of Maui, so we pitched a Maui-centric story to John Lasseter and Ed Catmull.
