The Disappointing Disney Reboot That's Still Worth Watching Disney's latest live action remake, Moana (2023), has arrived on PVOD platforms.
While it retains the core story of its animated counterpart, the execution feels lazy and uninspired. The film is more of an elaborate fan service than a genuine attempt to breathe new life into the character.
The foundations of the story remain intact: Moana (Catherine Laga'aia) embarks on her ocean odyssey with demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson).
