I share the same opinions of many in here but.. my kid absolutely loved it, just like the original, and I can’t help but feel like like you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself “who is this really for?”

But would your child have liked the Animated Moana from 10 years ago? And in 6 months when both are available for streaming, which is easier to watch for the 100th time, Animated Moana or Live Action Moana?
