CONGRATS GREG!!!

[@yeuxdal]

Dang, boy! Congrats! 🍾 🫶🏻🥰 (PS, you’re a boy to me; I’m ancient 😬.)

[@ashleydavall]

The scene where the ocean parts & Te Ka comes racing across the seafloor towards Moana is so spectacularly well done. Te Ka might not be the most complex Disney villain, but she's certainly one of the most intimidating & frightening.

[@John_Raiyder]

Yeah and Auli'is stunning and beautiful Voice make this Scene so damn good

[@DarkHairedOne]

I'd argue that the only villain in the movie is Tamatoa. He's simply evil. Te Ka certainly is an antagonist but that's different from being a villain.

[@MmeFrankenstein]

And the words sung during this scene.. definitely hit me ✨️💙

[@dawnngray278]

This scene blew me away..this film was deep!

[@nadiaJ479]

She was the reincarnated Moses! 😂😂

[@michelle6337]

There are so many things I love about this movie: 1) They cast a teenage Polynesian girl to play a teenage Polynesian girl. 2) Moana being a woman has no bearing on whether she can lead her people. 3) Moana has no love interest, except for the love for her people. 4) Moana ties her hair up whenever shit gets real. No beautifully flowing, totally impractical locks just because it looks pretty. 5) The first thing Te Fiti does after having her heart restored is take a nap. I respect that. Great reaction!

[@TheKyrix82]

Maui also put his hair up when getting his hook back, because he couldn't transform yet, and it would get in the way

[@georgewillis592]

What I love is that it takes the idea that a woman can be a strong independent character and portrays it pretty naturally. It isn't throwing it in your face or shoving it down your throat. It's show, not tell. And that's awesome.

[@NickGreyden]

​@@georgewillis592exactly. It is an amazing movie. Get story. Great plot. Great heroine. Moana is a story about a girl boss becoming who she is. Not afraid to get help or learn. Becomes more badass because of it. THIS is how you tell a good story with a female lead.

[@chrisherber1635]

I like how her reason for leaving the reef wasn’t just to rebel and start a new life like little mermaid, but she was doing it for her people. She accepted her role as chief and lead them to new lands. Truly a middle ground between what she wanted and what her father wants.

[@moneylover318]

Did you know apparently she had no experience in singing or acting

[@Kiernimbus]

I don't think you need to feel embarrassed for crying in these reactions. It just feels like you're in tune with your emotions, and I'm here for it.

[@bidishah]

It's super genuine and I love it

[@chazharris]

That's my favourite part! When I see the movie title of the reaction I'm like: Oh Greg's definitely gonna cry like I did in this one, *clicks play and then sobs with him* lol

[@vatechie21]

I've only watched Forrest Gump, Shawshank, (and Glass Onion) -- and in the last 24 hrs-- and am now just feel like weeping at movies with Greg is the thing. It's adorable (him, not me ugly crying lol)

[@ISAGAARBO98]

I mean The creators of the film *meant* to make The audience cry, so it's not his fault for falling Into The emotions of the film lol. After all that's what Art does, it makes you *feel*

[@finalxxxpunch2964]

Well said As someone passed his thirties, I'm super sensitive to a good story

[@jennadotnickl]

One of the most underrated Disney moments: when Moana’s mom helps her leave. I grew up with strict parents but also always knew they’d do anything to let me be my true self. Makes me sob every time.

[@juniorsewbs7593]

As a pacific islander this movie meant a lot to us as maui is in a lot of stories in almost all pacific island cultures.. seeing our culture being put infront of the world meant a lot to us and put us on the world map

That is so amazing, bro! I'm indigenous (Diné) and seeing this movie made me so curious about the cultures and stories from our cousins across the sea. These kind of movies are so inspiring!

[@rise1996]

As a Pacific Islander living in New Zealand, this movie meant so so much to us Polynesians, it was sold out for weeks at every theatre and my sister and I even took our grown ass dad to the theatre to watch too 😂 seeing the stories we grew up with animated and sung to us on the big screen, and our culture well-represented on the world stage featuring other Pacific Island actors such as Dwayne Johnson and Auli’i was so moving for our little Polynesian nations.

[@alanfoster6589]

Thank Te Vaka for a lot of that.

I can't even watch reactions to this movie without bawling, let alone rewatching the movie itself. That reprise where she sings "I am Moana!" with her whole chest destroys me every time. Such a good movie!

[@jamesmoyner7499]

Auli'l almost didn't end up with the role, but received a call back and was the last one. The reason the Grandma died is because after she gave the Heart of Tifiti to Moana she basically gave what it was that was keepibg her alive. Maui's Tattoos were 2d animated. The directors of this film are Ron Clements and John Musker who have done the following previous films: The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, Treasure Planet, And The Princess and the Frog, Don't worry you are not alone in crying watching Moana the moment that broke me was the I Am Moana song.

[@carolap.b.335]

[@annelisewhite9607]

You are for sure not alone in crying to this film. I’m always left kinda disappointed watching other reactors that don’t at least tear up at this movie because the poetic beauty and message of it always left me crying like a baby haha. I feel like a lot of us can relate to multiple characters in this film - Moana: searching for purpose and self-significance in the world. Maui: searching for self-worth through others. Or even Tefiti: had their heart stolen and left broken and unrecognizable until someone comes along and reminds them of the beauty within. Not to mention the visuals are STUNNING. But that scene under the stars with Moana and her grandma always leaves me in tears - how I wish that people I’ve lost could give me guidance when I need it most. I really relate to Moana and the meaning behind this entire film. So yes, Greg, I 100% understand how you felt watching this movie. Thank you for sharing your reaction, much love and hope you have a fantastic wedding!! ♥️

[@yamilegallardo4031]

Omg I absolutely agree! That scene with her grandmother and Tefiti make me cry every time I watch it. The movie is absolutely beautiful visually but even more important the Meaning behind all of it. I think we can all relate and see ourselves, even just a little bit, in all these characters. Moves me every time. 😍

[@latishabuckner8231]

I cry within the first 10mins of this movie, every time. My niece keeps tissues on hand whenever we sit down to watch one of these movies. I thought it was just me getting older and more sensitive 🥲

You watched reactors who didn’t cry to Moana? 😮

[@aisha02a]

when maui got that tattoo of moana ON HIS HEART???? i cried

[@kathyastrom1315]

I love that the ultimate theme of this film is self-knowledge. “Do you know who you are? Who you truly are…” applies to just about everyone here, not just Te Ka. Grandma knows herself so well that she chooses the right tattoo, Moana eventually sees herself with that final “I am MOANA!!!” before reclaiming the heart, and Maui says, “With or without my fishhook, I’m Maui.” The ones who deny their true selves are the antagonists-Te Ka and Moana’s father, the latter because he never acknowledges to Moana that he was just like her when he was young, and doesn’t accept that side of him until he tells his daughter that “it suits you.”

[@xxyzxxyz690]

what about tamatoa, he knows he's shiny

[@sindri1447]

Trust me, I cried the first time I saw it. Her grandma is one of the most amazing supporting characters in any Disney movie ever. When she sings I am Moana and her grandma embraces her... TEARS! When Te Ka/Te Fiti approaches her with the parted sea, chills. When they show her at the end on the boat ... the close up, I cried UGLY. This and Encanto are juuuuuuuust MASTERFUL.

Moana and Encanto are my new favourite Disney movies!!! So beautifully animated, the songs are perfection (thanks Lin-Manuel), and it’s not about the quest to find love with another, but the struggle to find the strength within oneself in order to overcome adversity. LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I love that Moana, Boba Fett, and Aquaman all have the same dad. One of the special features on the bluray was a documentary about premiering the film in the Pacific Islands and translating it into various languages for them. THAT made me tear up a bit as well.

I love this film SO much. The visuals, the story, the messages. 🥰 Huge love especially for the underrated Rachel House, who also played Valkyrie’s hilarious nemesis in Ragnarok. And I cry every time.

[@aliwantizu]

My Dad passed away on Tuesday, and my Step-Dad is currently in the hospital, so this has been a rough week. Getting to just sit back and watch and see Greg's enjoyment of this movie has been a nice, but brief respite from all that has been going on. When this movie was released, I didn't quite know what to expect. It has some regular Disney Princess stuff, but it also has some very potentially scary moments. I liked how they helped each other grow, and visually this is really remarkable. I also appreciated the love given to Polynesians. Greg's reactions were very similar to mine, and I would think most people's watching this movie. Thanks for sharing! ~Be Blessed

I had an unhealthy obsession with this movie a couple years ago.. I’d watch it like 3 times a week 😂 it’s just so good. But it’s been a while…. And maybe this is my sign to make time to see my grandmother soon

[@joshuacoldwater]

The song writer for all of the musical numbers was Lin-Manuel Miranda, he just makes Disney better. He also wrote and composed Encanto’s soundtrack, to me, nothing is comparable.

[@pineappleboi1719]

Seeing people cry at this movie is understandable. It touches on a lot of different subjects that can hold some emotional weight for a lot of people. Loss of a close relative that you share a strong relationship with, the need to go out in to the world and find who you are/your purpose, and the movie is just sad in general. I don't cry, mainly because I just have no soul, but I can tell when something is genuinely sad. Know that there is no shame in crying. If you need to cry, then cry. It just shows that you care deeply about something and that's awesome!!!

As a Polynesian/Pacific Islander, when I watched this movie for the first time with my family, I also cried happy tears, seeing my culture and people who look like me on screen was really something so special! It really blew my mind to watch the world fall in love with and embrace my culture, to see them appreciate its beauty? Ugh. My heart. 🥹❤ Watching your reaction to this movie warmed my heart. The genuine emotions you displayed really had me experiencing the same emotions all over again. Got me crying all over again lol. Thank you!

"The call isn't out there at all, it's inside me" That single line man, gets me everytime. Lin Manuel has such a way with words it's amazing.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

The music is absolutely phenomenal. I love to sing, but I cannot get through How Far I'll Go without getting choked up. Also, the singing voice of the chief is Chris Jackson, who played Washington in the original cast of Hamilton. And it was Lin's voice singing the English parts to We Know the Way, when she had the vision of her ancestors voyaging.

I love all of this movie but what I love most is Te-Fiti/Te-Ka. Someone stole her heart, read she was the victim of trauma, because of that trauma she become angry, untrusting and even violent. But all it takes is one person telling her she’s not a villain and to help her find her heart. Once she does she becomes this beautiful and kind person who trusts people again. Beautiful message. Just because someone’s angry they’re a victim doesn’t make them a villain and we should all try to restore their hearts.

When film or television can move you to emotion, whether it be joy, sadness, anger, or whatever, it’s a magical thing. I’ve already seen this movie multiple times, but just seeing the scene where Moana parts the ocean and returns the heart gave me goosebumps all over again.

[@xvs8675]

When rewatching this film, I broke down into tears when Moana sung to Te Fiti because I mistakingly thought that the song was the same song that played in the beginning of the film when Moana first comes into contact with the Ocean. The same lyrics apply as if the Ocean was singing to Moana, just as Moana was singing to Te Fiti: I’ve crossed the horizon to find you (the horizon of time) I know your name (Moana) They have stolen the heart from inside you (the passion for sailing) But this does not define you. This is not who you are. You know. Who you are. Upon research I learned they are in fact two different songs but that parallel still hits deep to me.

[@ammaleslie509]

The similarity/parallel is 100% intentional though. Callbacks like that are how great musicals are constructed.

I've seen this film many times but this is the first I'm realizing that Maui and Te Ka (Te Fiti's alter ego) are complementary. She's the goddess/demoness of earth and fire, he's demigod of wind and sea. Four elements. And balance can be restored only when they are finally stop being antagonistic towards each other. Moana brings that balance.

The glowing ray coming out to symbolise the grandma's death is just one of the most gorgeous things
