Just a heads up there's going to be a lot of sad personal stuff brought up so if anda don't want to read this that's totally understandable.
Today's rewatch: Moana
Last time watched: July 6, 2017
How much did I like this movie when it came out?
I had some reservations about this movie because I didn't know for sure if it was going to be good especially since I hadn't seen too much stuff about it. But after hearing How Far I'll Go I knew I wanted to watch this movie even if it was just to hear that song on the big screen. My husband and I saw it for my birthday and even though the villain twist seemed a little meh to me, I still had an amazing time watching it and I loved the soundtrack so much that I downloaded all the songs that night for my flight the selanjutnya hari (I was visiting family for the holidays). While on the flight I listened to the song on repeat for several hours (12-15 hours including layover). Then while visiting my favorit for natal I saw Moana again after only just seeing it a couple days before and then I bought the official soundtrack which, once again, was played on repeat when one of my sisters and I were on a 2 1/2 drive to my dad's. I ended up preordering the dvd and bluray and got promotional gambar from the movie (just like with The Little Mermaid :P) and of course as soon as it was delivered I begged my husband to have us watch it that night.
On July 6, 2017, the last time I watched this movie, I had gotten a phone call from my mom. She told me that my dad, who had been diagnosed with cancer only a few months before and wasn't strong enough to get the treatment he needed, wasn't going to make it through the night. I was living in Indiana at the time with my husband while my entire family was in Washington so there was no way I was going to make it there in time to say goodbye. I didn't even see him after he was diagnosed, I thought there would be lebih time. I was getting married in September and his first grandchild was going to be born in November. I had been hoping and praying that he was going to be able to make it that long but instead we were going to lose him and I never got to see him atau say goodbye. After the phone call I began to sob on the livingroom couch. My husband was working that night so I was halaman awal alone. I needed something to distract me from the pain so without thinking I put in Moana, laid on the dipan, sofa while clutching the stuffed dog he gave me for my 18th birthday, and just watched the movie. As the movie went on there were scenes where I was sobbing; Moana saying goodbye to her grandmother, Maui leaving Moana, and Moana giving back the heart. oleh that time the pain was starting to be too much until...Gramma Tala came to Moana. I suddenly felt this small comfort that even though my dad was leaving me forever, he would still be with me in my heart. I owe this movie so much for being there for me on the worst night of my life, I'll always be grateful to Moana, both the movie and the character.
Why I cinta this movie so much:
I feel like a broken record saying this but I cinta the animasi so much! The different designs of the characters and how they actually have realistic body types, the ocean, the 2D style animasi used for some of the scenes, Te Ka's lava, everything.
As I've berkata before, I cinta the soundtrack for this movie. It's not as great as Aladdin's atau The Little Mermaid's but it at least has a better soundtrack than Frozen.
Baby Moana still puts a big smile on my face. I have a huge soft spot for cartoon bayi like Littlefoot and Tarzan and Moana is on that daftar with how kind and adorable she is.
Something I cinta about this movie is that this movie focuses on Moana actually accepting her role as future chief without akting like it's a death sentence and having her save her people and her halaman awal while working with a male companion without shoehorning a romance in. I cinta disney film with romance but it is refreshing to see a female lead without a romantic partner especially with all the disney film we have with male leads with no cinta interests.
There's a fan theory that I like to consider to be canon about the jantung of Te Fiti, how it kept Gramma Tala alive this whole time until she gave it to Moana, and it was because of the jantung that Moana was able make it through her journey safely, including going beyong the batu karang, karang even after almost drowning the first time earlier that day.
I have a hard time understanding why people hate Hei Hei atau find him annoying. He was just a silly chicken! His reaction to being out in the middle of the ocean still gets me laughing every time.
I think my favorit easter egg in this movie has to be Baymax in the kakamora scene. It's just so funny to see that adorable friendly face in a sea (lol) of murderous pirates.
I still like the "if anda wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess" quote, the same with his "if anda start bernyanyi I'm gonna throw up" line. I don't consider it an insult for princesses atau take it too seriously, it's just fourth dinding breaking humor, which happens to be one of my favorit types of jokes in shows and movies.
In my opinion I think there were way too many jokes in this movie but at least most of them were genuinly funny. My favorit jokes were hiu head, Maui throwing Moana off the perahu several times, and "Ever defeat a lava monster?"/"No, have you?" There's some jokes I think could have been left out like the tweeting joke.
One of the things I cinta the most about Gramma Tala is she doesn't give a speech atau try to convince Moana to try again, instead she lets Moana decide for herself what to do selanjutnya without making her feel ashamed of failing.
Princess:
I cinta Moana as much as I cinta the classic and renaissance princesses. There, I berkata it. She's not high on my daftar like Rapunzel is but I really don't think she deserves all the hate she gets. If anda don’t like her then whatever but I had a hard time seeing her as annoying atau a Mary Sue atau bland. It could just be me not seeing the big issues but either way I cinta her. She was 12 on my daftar but now she's 9!
Movie:
As I berkata before I thought there were a little too many jokes and I thought the movie could do without the kakamora scene but I still had a fun time. This movie was 9 on my daftar but now it's 8
Rating: 7/10
Would I watch it again?
Yes!
selanjutnya movie will be Brave/The Legend of Mor’Du!

It's been 4 years since I last made a princess daftar and I feel that it needs an update. Unlike my earlier duration on fanpop where I could never keep my daftar constant, my daftar has stayed pretty much consistent over time since my original departure. It's difficult for me to make favorit princess lists, not because of being so negatively opinionated, but actually because I genuinely like all of the princesses.

I actually got this idea from disnerdtobe, who got this idea from anukriti, and I actually want to do the same, since I have a lot of princesses I relate to. That being said, this will be very hard, but keep in mind, these are princesses I myself relate to. It is also set up a little differently than disnerdtobe's
Not Relatable
Making up a majority of this part of the daftar are Golden Era princesses. I think they were relatable to the girls in their time period which I think is why I personally don't relate to them. That isn't to say that there aren't people who relate to these princesses-...
