Moana [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one knows exactly why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa’i, “Moana” sails into U.S. theaters on Nov. 23, 2016.

An amiable new animated musical that speaks to the tween-princess-sleepover demographic while tapping into Polynesian myths and making a modest, decently intentioned gesture at diversity.-Peter Bradshaw

The narrative is a fairly predictable hero’s journey — Maui even calls her “The Chosen One” — but the movie is refreshing for its lack of a love interest; instead Moana learns how to chart her own course.-Leah Pickett

Moana is heartfelt and funny, with compelling characters, an adventurous narrative and some excellent songs.-Allen Adams

The film achieves what the best Disney animated features do: a sense of place that is refined and specific.-Andrew Lapin

An absolute delight, a lush, exuberant quest fable full of big musical numbers and featuring perhaps the most stunning visuals of any Disney film to date.-Christopher Orr
