Moana poster

Why people love it

Moana (2016) stuck because it commits to its adventure premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. John Musker's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The adventure and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
