I had fun with it while I watched it, but then promptly kinda forgot about it. It didn't leave a big impact on me like Coco did. Schaffrillas mentioned all the reasons he didn't like Coco as much as Moana, which is totally fine. Different strokes for different folks. But I didn't care about the things he mentioned because lots of comedy is not a make or break for me. I don't mind more serious movies. And I didn't mind the "lack of tension" in the start because the movie was using that time to establish emotions, character interactions, and a lot of beautiful scenery and culture. I loved it.

Inquisitor Thomas I wouldn't say it's poor, if you came into a Disney movie expecting a serious historically accurate retelling of anything, you've come to the wrong movie. They are inspired by stories and cultures often, from Hercules to Hamlet, and then have a lot of creative liberties to build their own world and story from. It's not lazy or poor quality, it's just focused very differently, has a different motive and for a different audience. It's definitely not a historical movie because it doesn't want to be, it wants to be its own canon, in the same way Pixar goes "what would toys do if they were alive" Disney went "what if we made Greek Gods alive in a jazzy "kiddy" mix of past and present culture, how would they act and how would it change?" Though in part I would agree about one thing- they can learn a little more about cultural representation both real world ones and generally building richly communicated ones into their film (real or not), but every film seems to be getting better

Hi, Pacific Islander here 👋🏾 My whole life I've been interested in my Samoan culture, and I remember being unbelievably excited hearing about Moana when it came out. Yes, it's mostly set out on the ocean, but what's being forgotten is that voyaging was, in fact, a giant part of our culture. That's what my ancestors did, they set out on voyages, they used to the stars as a map, and Maui was part of the legends. I do agree that it could have been executed much better, the dolls were most definitely...darker than you'd expect, but it was still enjoyable. Although, I feel like most attention for Moana comes from the fact that Lin worked on music, and sang in two songs, one of them in the end credits. That's my problem with Moana, or the audience at least. Because I remember going through the comments on Moana-related videos and it _only_ being about Hamilton, the Pacific Islander comments near the bottom. So Disney kind of won, but also messed up with that one. But also, as a comment on here said, Polynesian culture is more than _one culture._ There's a lot of islands, and although some cultures and languages may sound the same (an example is Tokelauan and Samoan), they're also different in their own ways. So combining all of these cultures together might have been difficult, considering they have to pack it into a one hour movie. Coco accomplished Mexican culture because that's the only culture they were focusing on. Moana is more of a difficult subject with culture, because it's a vast majority of different ones. You can tell Lin and whoever else wrote the music tried to incorporate different languages, with the opening song being in Samoan, "An Innocent Warrior" in Tokelauan (I think), and "We Know The Way" having Samoan for the first verse, Tongan in the second. There's other cultures (I'm saying this alot but I'm terrible at describing shit sorry), but those are the _main_ ones featured and given a glimpse at in Moana. It must've been difficult trying to combine the other cultures into the movie without it confusing the audience or possibly getting something very wrong, so that's one reason why the movie could've taken place in the water the whole time. Because, especially when it's not your culture/a culture that's _rarely_ represented, research isn't always going to be enough, let alone trying to represent multiple cultures yourself. I still think Moana was a fantastic movie and that not enough people talk about it. And it's obviously going to hold a special place in my heart because that's my people, with their own movie made by _Disney._
@elle19ism4 жыл бұрын
This is a great explanation. I liked that the film raised my interest in Polynesian cultures. I've never met any Polynesians so all I know is from what I've seen online and in films & tv. If they make Moana 2, I just hope they make the songs that are sung in Polynesian languages a lot longer.
@bonesandhearts56834 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the explanation and opinion, that was interesting to read 🙂 Do you think they should have focused on just one Polynesian culture or do you think it was a good idea to amalgamate them so that all Polynesians could be at least somewhat represented? Also I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the fact that Disney can now cash in on every culture it chooses to represent. It kind of seems like a downside to representation, especially by a giant like Disney. I always kind of think the worst type of cultural appropriation is when members of a powerful/oppressive culture capitalize on oppressed/marginalized cultures by commercializing those cultures, eg. a massive US corporation like Disney profiting off of selling little plastic models of Moana’s wa’a kaulua while so many Polynesian nations still experience striking poverty after colonialism, or profiting off of their little Día de los Muertos plaza at Disneyland while Mexicans suffer from extreme poverty in Mexico and discrimination and cruel immigration enforcement in the US. Sorry, I didn’t mean for that to be such a downer. I just feel like the representation in these movies is getting better and better and it’s really cool but there’s always the subsequent cash grab of merchandising that kind of negates Disney’s attempts at progressivism. I think it could only be solved if the people profiting off of that merchandising (and the films themselves) were the people being depicted in the films.
@ktw55744 жыл бұрын
@@bonesandhearts5683 No, no! It's all good, I'm glad you shared your insights! As far as Polynesian culture representation, I think it's good they chose to try and incorporate different ones, being as, again, the Polynesian/Pacific Islander culture is really underrepresented and not talked about that much, especially in modern day America. I mean hey, it's better than just saying "Hawaiians are the only Polynesians!" I personally think that after the Disney Renaissance, the company clearly began to grow. But as they started doing CGI and whatnot, they started focusing more on the franchise rather than making a good movie. That's why Ralph Breaks The Internet was such a flop. They knew they didn't have to try because it'd appeal to younger children anyway, which means more "I want this toy, I want that," and more purchases on merchandise and whatever. Although, I do 100% see your point with the representation part. How many Polynesian cultures still struggle after the colonization, and how Mexican/Hispanic immigrants are being treated at the border. And to that I'll simply say; Do I think representation of underrated cultures is good? Absolutely! Especially if you have younger children watching, it might help them learn something. Do I think profiting off of the project is bad? No, it just depends on how you approach it (i.e not whitewashing darker skinned characters, not making toys look offensive, etc). But do I think doing all this and choosing NOT to speak out/try to help these struggling cultures that you've represented is bad? In a way, yes. I understand Disney has different parts to take over, considering how big of a company it is. Whether it be maintaining Disney World/Land Parks, budgeting out movies, advertisement, etc. That takes a lot. But I think they should still try and help these countries they're putting on the big screen, because many people will see these places and go touring, ignoring the big issue that may be happening that they're unaware of, you know? There's two sides to every story, and I like to stay open-minded. And in this case, you're making absolutely great points. Sorry I didn't reply sooner btw
@bonesandhearts56834 жыл бұрын
KT W Thanks so much for replying 😊 I should give you fair warning that I’m...not a big fan of capitalism. Like I think modern racism was invented to further capitalism and that Disney will never really be a net positive for the world in terms of ending global injustices as long as it’s a corporate giant and the means of production remain un-seized 😬. The workers gotta grab those wacom cintiqs, y’know? But like, regardless, marginalized people need to be represented in media. I totally support that. And, while we’re stuck with global capitalism, I think what would make the cash-grabbiness of these movies and merchandise better would be if the people making the movies and selling the merchandise were members of those cultures. Like not just the voice actors or the consultants or the directors or the screenwriters, but like the people actually making bank off of this stuff. Like representation in media shouldn’t just refer to who’s being portrayed, but also who is producing the media. Basically I think it would be better if these films and merchandise were products of the places they represent. Like, Disney movies and merch are all products of the US and any profits made off of them end up contributing to the US GDP. I think it would be better if Disney was partnered with an actual Samoan or Mexican animation studio and if they just kind of used their influence and reach to help produce something that would ultimately be a product of Mexico/Samoa and contribute to the Mexican/Samoan GDP. Also the things you mentioned about people seeing the movies and touring the places but not being aware of the larger issues - I think that’s a great point. On the one hand, at least tourism could be a way that the places/cultures depicted in these films can profit off of the movies. On the other hand, it’s a disservice if tourists aren’t aware of the problems people living there actually face. That’s actually one of the reasons I liked Lilo and Stitch: it does perpetuate the “Hawaiians are the only Polynesians” trope, but at least it actually does depict some of the issues native Hawaiians have to deal with, including ignorant white tourists. You’ve got Lilo feeling like an outsider in the place and culture she’s from (eg. when the white girls in her hula class ostracize her), you’ve got money issues that force Nani to work at a tourist trap and Lilo to entertain tourists for cash, you’ve got state interference in Nani and Lilo’s lives (ie. the scary social worker threatening to take Lilo away)...idk it’s actually surprisingly good. That said, I don’t think every Disney movie that features marginalized people should be about their struggles. I like that Moana and Coco are triumphant portrayals of their respective cultures. I do think it’s good to have that mix though; having some movies like Lilo and Stitch might help with the ignorant tourist issue. Sorry this is so freaking long and rambling. You just made me think is all 😊
@autreeisthebest4 жыл бұрын
I completely agree with you and so appreciate the thoughtfulness of your responses here! I am half-Tahitian. I think one of the things the creator of this video is not considering is how Polynesians are not really represented in popular media, at least not in the US. We aren't taught about Polynesian history the way we learn about Greek history in school, and we aren't exposed to Polynesian traditions the way we might see Mexicans in our community celebrate important days such as Dia de los Muertos. We are truly a minority. When I say I was born in Tahiti, most people have no idea where or what that is. Other than the Rock and a few specific films, Americans don't have the chance to learn about us, and so this film had a huge task in educating people about our culture in a way that was digestable and didn't take away from the story. It seemed to also feel the pressure to represent all of us, which I personally thought was cool, but again, a huge task. It felt as though the qualities to the story that were specifically Polynesian were very clear to Polynesians, such as Mama Tala coming back as a manta ray...the fact that Moana, as a woman, was chief is another, as pre-colonization, Polynesian cultures were egalitarian and not the patriarchal structure we see now...even the little things like tatau, taro, the siva or ori, the tiare flowers in the background. There were a lot of Polynesian details there if you knew what to look for. I felt that they tried to weave the traditions of Polynesia into the story, but the knowledge base on the culture would need a more solid base for it to register the way that the cultural pieces of Coco did. That being said, I do think Coco did a way more effective job at representing Mexican culture than Moana did, and it makes me wonder if they would have been more successful if they had "picked a lane" and just made Moana a specific Polynesian culture. I personally would have loved if they made the story more a deal where she traveled around Polynesia, learning from each group of people, instead of with those stupid monsters and the kakamora, which def were not represented well at all!

I recall watching a short blerb about the writers of Moana interviewing Polynesian people on stories they’ve heard about Maui. Although he was described as an average-sized man they wanted him to be seen as a “larger than life” character because of all the things he’s done. The writers and character artists meant no harm when they designed Moana’s Maui to look large. And I say “large” because the first thought that popped into my head when I saw Maui is “damn, that’s a lot of muscle” not “damn, Disney made a stereotypical fat Polynesian character.”

I do understand what you mean but growing up when I heard this story of Maui it was of this average boy that did things no one had expected of him. The Maui in the movie felt strange, and when I saw him it wasn't the Maui I grew up hearing stories about, I am sure Disney meant no harm, and I see why they made him so large (I personally never thought he was fat but to each their own). I just think it would've been nice to see a more culturally accurate depiction of one of the most famous legends in Polynesian culture. Although, in saying that, I do admit that I think if they made him smaller he would probably fall to the stereotypical attractive male that is often depicted with Disney male leads so it's kind of a lose, lose situation.

One reason I can see the music for Moana being not as effective and more Broadway is because of one simple fact. Lin Manuel Miranda did the music for Moana, whereas Michael Giacchino did the music for Coco. Lin's music style is very broadway and there are examples of this is disney movies and the entirety of the musical Hamilton. Michael has done music specifically for video games and movies since 1994.

As for pocahontas “actor and Native American activist Russell Means (who provided the speaking role and physical inspiration of Powhatan) has referred to this movie, in particular the opening, as being the "single best representation of American Indians that Hollywood has ever done."” and “In their quest for authenticity, the Disney studios hired mostly Native American actors and actresses to do the voices. They also employed Native American consultants, and had a session with a real shaman.” (From IMDb) There were also critics of the movie, but if Moana gets a pass for “being good for its time”, so does Pocahontas. Not to mention Pocahontas was the first ever Disney movie to feature an interracial couple.

I never new those things. Thanks! I love learning about different cultures and Native American cultures are up on that list, in part because they are so old, and in another, because my ancestors would have interacted with them, since they immigrated to,what would become, American in the 1660s. Not saying their relationship was entirely positive on either side, because history is complicated, but I'm interested in the relationship in general, because of how it affected both personal histories and world history. History is neat. I love messy not black and white things. Also, it's super cool how the people from those time periods literally used everything they had to make stuff. For instance, they used every part of animals to make different shit. Super cool! I love learning that type of stuff! 😀

Brother Bear has its setting and character be from the native indigenous tribesman that while not the center, they do show part of their culture and beliefs, something Moana lacked to do just a little more with Polynesian culture. Despite those part being only the first 20 minutes of the movie, they're still my favorite parts.

Moana is set before Polynesia really became Polynesia. It doesn't focus on or immerse us in Polynesian culture; it focuses on and immerses us in the concept of *wayfinding.* THAT is why I love it. Eeeeever so slightly more than Coco (both are my favorite CGI films to date). Coco's film invites us to explore the Land of the Dead along with Miguel and Héctor. But Moana's film invites us to just go explore. And to do so intelligently. Coco invites the audience to join a big Mexican family, and that's great. I loved just how immersive that film was. But Moana *commissions* us to go out and explore the world, while at the same time never forgetting our own home and where we come from. That's a message both Moana and Coco have in common; if you know where you came from, you can know where you're going, and always be able to find your way home.

I think the problem is that in Coco you're seeing a modern culture, where Moana is set in a timeless mythical fantasy land. It's the same reason Hawaii feels real in Lilo and Stitch, but Hercules doesn't feel like it's set in Greece. While a fantasy setting might have some benefits I think it tends to be a problem when dealing with race and culture. That's also why Frozen and Tangled are so bland - their universes are just a blank slate with no POC. Obviously there's different approaches you can take depending on the movie but why not create a more diverse fictional universe like Avatar?

It's a kind of "once upon a time" story, not a good or bad thing depending on how it's handled. And it has nothing to do with POC or political correctness.

That being said Hades is fucking hilarious in the movie and is the best Disney villain ever. 10/10 would love for James Woods to be hades in the live action remake we will eventually get.

Just like her other self-portraits, in this painting Frida expressed the sadness that she cannot change her own fate. Frida used her pet deer "Granizo" as the model when she painted this portrait."

To be honest the Lilo and Stitch franchise is really underrated and they had some of the best cultural learning moments when it comes to Disney. I noticed a lot more as I got older but they quietly addressed some major cultural issues. High price of living, pandering to tourists, racism against Hawaiians, assimalation, poverty, lack of job security, geographic isolation, etc. Moana addressed Polynesian cultural history and beautifully done. Lilo and Stitch really brought attention to the current cultural climate for a lot of Pacific Island nations.

Like you said, the story was not at all contingent on any aspect of Polynesian culture other than having folklore. Honestly - especially with characters like Tamatoa, Te Fiti, & the Kakamora - it seemed more like a fantasy/magical movie that just happened to contain islander elements.

Hawaiian culture and traditions can have huge discrepancies from the Maori culture in New Zealand, not to mention the thousands of islands in between. Whoever made the movie ( yes let’s put aside allll of Disney’s flaws first) may have a hard time landing on one specific culture or the overall Polynesian, the (mis)representation can likely offense a lot and mislead children. this video does a good job in reminding us to study and learn more about a represented culture from all sources and not just a single (corporate) film.

Yes!!! I remember being around 9 or 10 when Moana came out, having seen it in theatres with my parents, and my mom, being Samoan, was also understandably excited. I'd keep whispering to her if things were accurate and if a song was in Samoan, and during "We Know The Way," she mentioned that the first verse was Samoan, the second verse Tongan. She also mentioned some of the culture seen on the island wasn't entirely Samoan, either. Moana mixes different Polynesian cultures into this one movie, but I figure the creators got lost between it all, so maybe that's why she was on the ocean almost the entire time. Because it's hard to take all these different, yet similar cultures and blend it together without being confused. And I don't blame them, I get Tokelau and Samoan mixed up now and then whenever I hear em 😵

Just wanted to mention that, while Lee Unkrich did direct Coco, the story came from Adrian Molina, the co-director, who is Latino and was inspired in part by his own upbringing and experiences when he created the story. So to say that Coco's successful representation of Mexican culture was thanks to research on the part of Lee Unkrich isn't quite accurate. I think it's also worth mentioning the emphasis that Pixar puts on the idea that "the best stories are inspired by real experiences." Adrian was inspired by his own experiences and culture, which, in my opinion, is why Coco is so powerful, genuine, and of course culturally aware. Just wanted to throw that out there :)

And the northern people in the sequel are heavily based on the Samí-people living in North- Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

The black man in Frozen 2 is likely based on a young boy named Adam that arrived from St. Croix to Arendal (fun fact: Arendell is based on Arendal) in 1778. He escaped, but later returned to the slave owner. He was put on trial, but the judge decided Adam should be freed. The story of Frozen takes place in 1840, after Denmark-Norway abolished slavery for good in 1803, meaning the black man in Frozen would be a free man. I doubt black people had it as easy during that time period as depicted in Frozen 2, people weren’t kind back in the day, but this is a Disney movie we are talking about, I doubt they will ever dare explore such gritty topics in one of their movies. I’ll leave the link to the Wikipedia page and it’s sources down below if you’d like to read for yourself, but it’s in Norwegian though :) no.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dansk-norsk_slavehandel#cite_note-11

Y'know that "chocked on a chorizo" joke, I speak Spanish, and a pp joke wasn't my first initial thought was that they were making fun of the, "death by food" kind of thing.

The songs do sound way better in Spanish. I watched this in a Spanish course and even though I didn't learn a word of Spanish in that class I liked the songs much more in Spanish. The cringe of the songs in English just made me really uncomfortable, I don't know why. They should have used the Spanish versions of the songs in every language.

I love _Coco_ music in Spanish, but I watch the movie in English because I'm not Hispanic. And what's cool about the soundtrack for the English version is that the music is either bilingual (certain parts are in English, and others are in Spanish) or entirely in Spanish. IDK, I really like that detail, I guess.

I've never got the complaint that Maui is shown as supposedly overweight. He's not. He's shown as an enormous caricatured tank of muscle. He ripples those muscles frequently throughout the movie, makes the tattoo character dance as he hops his pecs around. And he's directly modelled on The Rock's grandfather. Look him up, he's basically exactly the same but without the tattoos. They tried to really make Maui look awesome. Maybe some people interpreted it differently from how they intended, and maybe the caricaturing didn't quite land, but they weren't trying to make this deity of Polynesian culture out to be a fat lazy slob by any means.

From what i heard mauis bodytype was more natural body muscle mass than ripped body building, and he also looked similar to the rock's granddad who was also a strong guy (i think it was grandpa not 100% sure)

Ironically, people who say he looks like a slob are just applying THEIR western-centric ideals to the character

I thought it was cool that Disney portrayed Maui with a different body type than what you would typically associate with a physically fit and strong person (slim waist & defined muscles). In all reality, those body types aren't nearly as strong or have the amount of endurance than someone like Maui would have.
