This live action remake of the well-known 2016 Disney film Moana does not disappoint. Using colorful and creative designs, uplifting scenes and songs, and most of all, an accurate storyline that honors the original Moana, this movie shares the classic tale through a new, invigorating lens. As in the animated version, we follow a young girl named Moana (Catherine Laga’aia) who can’t stop herself from wanting to go beyond the reef and travel the open ocean even though the chief, her father, forbids it. But when her Gramma Tala (Rena Owen) shares the legend of Te Fiti and tells Moana of the evil that is consuming their island, Moana finds out it’s up to her to find the demi-god Maui (Dwayne Johnson), who was lost for 1,000 years after he stole the power of creation and was struck down by the fire demon Te Kā. Now to save the islands, this unlikely duo of mortal and shape-shifter (and a certain little chicken named HeiHei) must board their boat, travel across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti. As a fan of the original Moana, I find this live-action adaptation to be a strong reflection of Disney’s classic tale. The plots are nearly identical, with only a few differences here or there to account for the new actors’ style or to throw in some references to lore mentioned in Moana 2. Catherine Laga’aia takes up the part of Moana quite well, deeply tapping into her distinct style and emotions where sincerity is needed. She expertly tackles the songs that, as any fan knows, are difficult to sing. She works well with Dwayne Johnson, keeping the duo’s chemistry strong. Dwayne (who’s reprising the role he voiced in the original movie), is a sight to behold, once again sharing the energy that made Maui so special in 2016. Larger than life, and a little too confident, Maui is a source of constant humor throughout the film. But even with these amazing actors, the real star of the show is the one and only Heihei, Moana’s small, fluffy, and sometimes odd chicken. He gains a lot more screen time than in his first movie, and he definitely deserves the spotlight. Regardless of his birdbrained demeanor, he somehow keeps up with Moana on her travels, leaving laughs and a few feathers in his wake, and even finds a way to help save their mission. This film’s message is to always believe in yourself. Moana always thought that the Ocean chose her for a reason, and that she was destined to bring her people to greatness. That shining belief is sadly challenged by the difficult quest she sets out on, and the dangers she faces almost force her to give up. But thanks to the wise words of her Grandma, and a few unusual friends, she’s able to once again trust in herself, and even help Maui do the same. I give Moana 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18. You can catch Moana when it sails into theaters on July 10, 2026.
