This and Moana 2 breaking box-office records is insane to me. I had no idea people liked Moana that much, I expected it to be another well-liked but sort of forgettable animated flick like Coco.
Moana 2 success seems weird to me too. The character is probably popular among children
Yep, remember all the hype for Frozen from kids back when it came out? Very similar to how they respond to Moana now.
I haven't seen Moana 2, but the first one has got a lot of kid appeal, and I found the music to be more appealing and fresh than other big animated productions.
If you've ever had a kid fixated on a show with an absolutely grating soundtrack or character voices, you'll appreciate and encourage any interest they show in something with nice music.
Blasphemy. Coco is wonderful.
As a double-whammy, Coco was the highest grossing movie in Mexico of all time when it came out.
It was toddler crack. I was not allowed to say "Moana" in front of my friends' kid because it would trigger an obsession that could only be calmed by sitting her in front of it. Kids who were obsessed with the first one are now aware of what a theater is and how to manipulate their parents into taking them there.
