Disney

For some reason this is called Vaiana in Greece?
In Spain too, because there is a porn star here called Moana.
The main reason is the company though, it's also called Vaiana here.

I saw Moana 2 last night and I came out of the cinema thinking the same thing I always do with these sequels. That I miss the time when Disney Animation prioritised original stories. Animation was stunning though so at least there's that.

I don't know whether anyone has watched the documentary series Inside Pixar on Disney+ but there's some wonderful things going on behind the scenes of the company/ies. I also thought that Iwaju was wonderful and exactly what the company should be aiming for. Instead, we get sequels and live action/CGI remakes shoved to the front and centre and it just all feels so TIRED.

Looks like they’re doing it again! (Though not as effectively).

It's so sad how pathetic these attempts are. It's why 2D is superior. They couldn't even pay someone to make a proper render for this... meanwhile the 2D shorts were fully animated and matched the style it was trying to fit in with.

What did they do?
Pretty much some straightwashing.

Scar has always been one of my favorite characters and I always loved how queer-coded he was. And then for some reason the new remake decided to make him head over heels for Sarabi, and the fact that what triggered his betrayal of Mufasa was his unrequited love for her and that Sarabi and Mufasa loved each other was so out of character. He basically became an incel who can't take a no for an answer.

The version told in the short stories seemed way more realistic, as his relationship with his family started to wither because he felt neglected by his father, who only prioritized Mufasa (in Scar's POV). It would have been a more interesting approach than booo booo the lioness I like doesn't like me back my brother backstabbed me and took everything that belonged to me he will pay booo booo
 
EVERYTHING about this Mufasa film has truly been an entire waste of time. The storyline sucks, the music sucks; I’m glad Barry cashed a big paycheck so he can hopefully go back to making films HE WANTS TO MAKE.

Now in hindsight I am truly glad Lin Manuel didn’t come back to do Moana 2 because these Mufasa songs are terrible. Moana 2’s music is impeccable compared to these duds he has written.

I'm also going tomorrow, but my tickets, popcorn and drinks are all free for me, the hubby and my boy, courtesy of my work. So even if it's absolute shite, I probably won't feel as bitter toward it.
