Moana - Catherine Laga‘aia as Moana
Catherine Laga‘aia as Moana in Moana.
Moana Review
'Moana' Charts a Beautiful Live-Action Journey Worth Taking Again. Disney's live-action adaptation delivers stunning visuals, a breakout performance from Catherine Lagaʻaia, and a deeper celebration of Polynesian culture. Disney has had mixed results adapting its animated classics into live-action films, so it's fair to approach 'Moana' with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Fortunately, this is one of the studio's stronger efforts. No, it doesn't surpass the animated original—and it never really tries to. Instead, it understands what audiences loved about 'Moana' in the first place and builds on that foundation. The result is a visually beautiful adventure that leans even further into Polynesian culture while reminding us why this story resonated nearly a decade ago.
