I don’t remember all the details about the original Moana, so this review might not be that informed. However, I thought that Moana had a very easy time finding the lost island and accomplish the goal of connecting the islands again. Maybe it was because she brought an allstar crew or maybe because she is the chosen one, but I feel like she just needed to believe in herself and her friends and think outside the box in order to accomplish her goal. After they defeated the vengeful god and found the island, she didn’t even need to find the people from the other islands – they just happened to appear. She didn’t need to think creatively – she just let her crewmate modify her ship. And then, when she had her moment to think about how to reach the island, she just decides to swim to the island. Like that’s super obvious. I don’t know. Besides the fact that I think the plot was too easy for Moana, the new characters were fun, such as her little sister. I enjoyed the movie in general, but maybe they should’ve made the adventure tougher.
