In 2016, Moana asserted herself through the mirror story of Maui, the demigod with the physique of a rugby player, a valiant warrior with talking tattoos (sequences produced in traditional 2D animation) endowed with the voice of Dwayne Johnson (Anthony Kavanagh in French). The young girl wanted to allow her people to reconnect with the ocean… Today, fully in control of her destiny, she leads an entire crew with her in her new adventures as an explorer.
In this second feature film, we find many elements happily discovered in 2016 but, this time, the element of surprise has necessarily disappeared, even if new characters ideally stand out from the game.
An action-packed adventure
Fights, doubts, songs and surpassing oneself: all the ingredients of the Disney classics are found in this tale from the end of the world which has the merit of introducing other horizons, other lands. It is also the traditional songs which prove to be the most touching and challenging, far from the swaggering postures of the tunes more linked to the Broadway tradition.
The story always favors computer-generated image animation. It allows us to give the ocean the roaring and central place that it has always held at the heart of Polynesian culture and to display all the nuances of shadow and light, as well as the changing reflections of the water over time. the day. The result is inevitably dazzling, perfectly following the contours of this long-term adventure. With a small downside, all the same: this sequel favors action rather than the management of the dilemmas and emotions of the different characters.
The stories of the islands of Samoa, Fiji and Tahiti bathe this story of solidarity and struggle and we can clearly see how these different traditions could influence the rest of the adventure, laid out in seed during the end credits…
