Random things that made me happy about Moana:

-The story wasn’t about her relationships, romantic or otherwise. But it also didn’t belittle those relationships and the people she cares for were a motivation along with her need to discover herself

-stubborn angry muscle girl who does not know how to do a thing but fuck you she will do the thing

-the fucking chicken

-this is a weird one but when Moana sings her mouth opens super big when she belts out the words and just it made me so happy??? She wasnt made to sing pretty and delicate she will fucking BELT out her victory song

-Dwayne The Rock Johnson can sing. Bless this man.

-you can see all the research that went into the movie and the credits are full of Pacific Islander names and it pays off so well god bless

-Hero allowed to have moment where they nearly give up. Isn’t shamed for it. Is told “if that’s what you need then you are supported.”

-hero decides on her own to continue journey

-showing Moana actually learning how to be a leader before she even goes. She already is going to be a great chief before she goes….she doesnt have to prove anything. It’s just….so good

-listen I know chickens. That is a very….accurate chicken

– H A I R

-the music makes me cry it’s so good and Lin worked so hard to respect the cultures he worked with and brought in Samoan and Fiji’an singers and it’s so good

-the animation just shit son

-after the plastic ice and tinyface dolls of Frozen, disney animation is redeemed in my eyes

-every scene was beautiful and I spent over half the movie with fucking chills because. It was just so breathtaking
