She says that movie was designed to please as many people as possible and that the music is underwhelming and overplayed.
You can arguably say that about some of Disney’s really recent films, but not Moana. I’m sorry, but she is objectively incorrect.
The universal appeal of Moana speaks to the strength of the movie, no? It was made by a diverse team of people, including producer Osnat Shurer (Israeli), the Honolulu-born identical twin writing team Aaron and Jordan Kandell, and of course a huge cast that includes the stars Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson.
Ask her why she hates accessible diversity?
I’m going to side with CN’s wife, and extend it to Hamilton. Lin-Manuel Miranda seems like one of the nicest guys ever, but his music just doesn’t do anything for me. The lyrics are clever, but the rhythms get repetitive. The constant and-1-and-2 of “We Know the Way” is a good example.
heh she would not agree about LMM or hamilton

Oof, holy shit that’s going to be a hard one.
No one beats Dumbo like Gaston!
Yeah, the heartbreak-off is brutal.
I am close to voting for Dumbo. No one sings like Gaston, but that song has way, way too much Le Fou
Somebody put this together just to spite me. I hate both of these
I seeded the 1-16 seed songs, four of each. I didn’t formally randomize or structure the songs within each seed group. I just entered them into the bracket without care and let the chips fall as they will. (17-27 seeds were formally randomized).
