Disney Princess movies never get old, even if we do. That's why I know everyone is waiting for the new Disney Princess movie, “Moana” to hit theater's this November. Until then, here is what we know about the new princess, and why she may be the best one yet.
What is really going to set Moana apart from the other Disney Princess Movies is there will be no love interest. That's right, you read it, no. love. interest. Finally, we will be able to walk out of the theater without having to ask where our prince charming is and wondering if we’re really going to need to kiss some frogs to find the one.
Another way Moana is going to be so relatable is she continues to not be like other Disney Princesses. Just by looking at the artwork from the movie you can tell she is different. She is not a stick skinny girl. She has a strong, healthy and fit body. Thank you, Disney.
Moana is clearly a badass. The filmmakers say that her attitude will resemble that of both Merida and Elsa, two Disney Princesses who were not accepting nonsense from anyone. And because she doesn't have a prince to fight for her, she’ll be doing the fighting herself. This is the princess role model we have been waiting for.
Moana isn't going to be the only amazing thing about this movie, though, let's talk about the music. Tony-Award-Winner Lin-Manuel Miranda is writing music for the movie. You know, like ‘Hamilton’ Lin-Manuel Miranda. And you know who will be singing one of his songs? Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson. It's about time a song replaces ‘Let It Go’ and I have a feeling the music from this movie just might be able to do it.
Finally, for the most exciting detail of the movie. Moana is the first Polynesian Disney Princess.
Raise your hand if you’re excited.
No, Lilo is not a Disney Princess (even though she should be), and we’ve been patiently waiting for one ever since we realized that. And for anyone who has seen the Lava short that preceded the movie “Inside Out” (2014), we’ve all been secretly waiting for a full-length version. Well, this is it. Between the artwork and the culture included in the movie, we’ll all be booking a flight somewhere tropical as soon as we get home from the movie.
“Moana” can't come soon enough.
