Disney should have waited twenty or at least ten years before releasing a live-action remake of a movie originally released in 2017.
I wasn’t very fond of the original Moana because of its cringe/sarcasm/social media humor. I could only hope Disney bucks their track record of releasing live-action remakes that wreck the original and instead release a more sincere version of Moana’s story.
Disney: “Coming to a theater near you”
Me: Thanks for the warning.
