I just got inicial from seeing this beautiful film and I need to let out all my feelings somewhere, but hopefully this will be somewhat coherent and not come across as a giant rant with paragraph breaks. I have such a huge smile on my face as I write this, because this movie just made me so damn happy!
The Soundtrack
Guys this movie sounds breathtakingly beautiful. The score, the songs, it all just creates an environment and immerses tu immediately into the Polynesian culture. Getting some fresh blood with Lin-Manuel, the creator of Hamilton (which also has an 11/10 soundtrack), was such a great idea and it really brought a brightness that I loved. The entire soundtrack just put a smile on my face. There's a force that comes with these songs, a power behind them, that I really enjoy. There's also no shortage of reprises, and I amor a good reprise. Even the songs that would generally read as filler like Shiny and You're Welcome just put a huge smile on my face (I loved the revisiting of you're welcome throughout the film, and I have to admit that song is still stuck in my head). Shiny could get some hate, but I don't think it's deserved. The song is showy and glamorous and totally ridiculous and I amor it for what it is.
The way the film uses música to introduce us to the Polynesian culture through Where tu Are and We Know The Way is so great. The songs, rather than sounding like filler, are so rich with culture and emotion that tu feel immediate immersion into this rich and beautiful culture. Moana herself really carries this though, with How Far I'll Go being both beautiful and infectious, and the reprise being just as powerful. I amor how the movie uses the música to mostrar Moana's character growth. Moana's voice actress does such an incredible job emoting and I'm amazed that she's only sixteen (The Rock also did an incredible job). The score of course didn't disappoint either, adding to the ambiance.
The Animation
It's stunning. Moana is stunning. The ocean is stunning. The island is stunning. It's all just stunning! The bright colores are so vibrant and plentiful that it's impossible to not be mystified! The entire first half hora of the movie is animation-orgasm worthy! Moana herself is of course stunning. Her hair is so luscious and I amor how disney does different things with it. I definitely think she's the most beautiful 3D princess and disney has really gotten the hang of animating these 3D beauties. She just radiates a certain happiness and loveliness that's infectious.
disney is also willing to go many different places with the animation. Certain song scenes have different animación and mixes of animación and changes with light and texture and it's just really refreshing to see. The way disney plays with light and dark and florescence and blackness is just incredible. There's a fluidity and naturalness to the animación that's really welcome to see in a 3D movie from Disney. The details are another aspect that I think really make the movie, dado that they're all shown so much individualized care so that every little bit of it is perfect.
The Characters
I amor Moana. She's just..so great! I feel like I need to watch it many más times till I can grasp everything that is Moana. She's so fascinatingly multifaceted and she certainly merges the headstrong female character with a welcome sense of insecurity and self doubt that reminds me of Rapunzel (though the characters have many differences). Seeing her journey and how she found her "way" really touched me. I liked seeing how driven she was, but how she was relatable in her wavering and doubt that followed her. The way she could always pick herself up and continue on with her dreams really made me smile though. She almost has to convince herself that she's strong, and she doubts it many times, but she kinda plays the whole "fake it till ya make it" and eventually does get there, which is so beautiful to see. She's stubborn, but not in a way where it endangers others. She's so extremely caring and will do anything for the ones she loves and before I rant on and on about her I'll end it here, but expect a character analysis of her soon! I need a whole articulo to express how much I amor this beautiful girl!!
Maui was a lot better than I thought. I was slightly worried he would be unlikable, but that certainly isn't the case. He's a lot más than the lovable, slightly snarky sidekick. I loved how we got his backstory and also saw how he too had insecurities and doubts behind that demigod persona. He was so ridiculous and his chemistry with Moana was absolutely perfect. Grandma of course was also absolutely brilliant. I loved how she helped out Moana and led her to be able to find herself. She was a comedic relief type character, but she didn't read as one. She was able to balance both comedy and heart, which I really enjoyed. I'm glad that she played a larger role in the movie than I had thought, and thoroughly enjoyed every scene she was a part of!
Finishing Thoughts
I dicho this would be más o less spoiler free, so I won't get into plot, but that's probably where the movie struggles most. Moana isn't doing anything any other disney movie hasn't done, but it's taking all those aspects together and doing something so great with them. Moana herself is so beautiful that the movie would've been great regardless of the movie she was put in, and I'm so hopeful that disney will include her in the princess lineup. As I said, another articulo will be coming, one much más thought out and not written at 1 AM after getting back from the movie theater, but for now I'll end it on this: If you've seen this movie, please fangirl about it with me in the comentarios and if tu haven't see this movie, please go see it and then proceed to fangirl about it with me in the comments. Thank tu so much for reading, have a lovely day/night/evening/afternoon/etc. :)
Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!
Disney Princesses vary in multiple ways, and how much they imagine is no exception. Some of them are very down to earth, and quite realistic, while others are very much in their own world, constantly dreaming and creating new visions and ideas in their heads. This is a rank of the least to most imaginative disney Princess.
9. Pocahontas
Pocahontas was determined to be the least imaginative princess. This is mostly because she doesn’t having the flaming ideals and dreams that most of the others have, because she was generally unsure for most of the...

So back in my junior año of high school I was obsessed with Tigi Bedhead Products.
These are bedhead products. Me and my friend used to be obsessed with hair and obsessed with Bedhead's stuff. We bought their products with ferver. I made a checklist of all the stuff I needed to get. I got close to having the whole collection. Sadly, but probably better for my mental health, I am no longer obsessed with their products like I once was, though I do use some of their stuff still. One día I was bored in one of my classes and decided to write a tribute to Bedhead Products....

one of Disney's most realistic leading ladies
I just had this crazy idea - In the siguiente months, I'll write a series of 8 artículos (well, I'll continue only if tu like them, of course). The first 7 artículos will be about separate aspects of the DP cine (Score, princess, couple, screenplay, villain, sidekicks and animation/art), and in the final articulo I'll make the average of the grades I gave the cine in each aspect and make my favorito! DP cine lista = )
The first articulo is about the scores! Enjoy =D BTW, all the pictures I used feature my favorito! song from each movie.
10. Cinderella - 7,0
It sure has a lot of nice songs –...

Decided that when I write my fan-fiction about Arista, that there would be a few new characters in it. I'm calling the story; Mermaid Tales. I want to use Ariel's sisters, as well as a few from the televisión series such as Urchin, Gabriella and Ollie, and Pearl. These are a few of the characters I came up with for the story.
Cory
Taken from "coral." Cory is one of Arista's friends. She's unbelievably bubbly and crazy but a very loyal friend. She loves the color rosado, rosa and has a rosado, rosa tail-fin and top. She often wears a pair of red starfish earrings. She...
