Disney is flopping on every IP they own, they gayed up their animation works so sales dropped, they “diversified” Marvel while writing stagnanted so sales dropped, they “subverted” Star Wars so sales dropped, and now even China is not buying their crap anymore.
Disney is the cultural propaganda arm of the state media. It can't go out of business. The system of banks, big tech and media corporations that rule over us will give them the cash that they need, ticket sales be damned.
In the future your social credit score will go down if the ruling algorithms determine that you're avoiding Disney movies.
My daughter watches the animated version from time to time - I always get a kick out of that ending. Moana sailing intrepidly over the big blue ocean with her people, their faces bright with optimism and the emotional music soaring to a crescendo as they sail out in search of new lands.
Colonisation is the greatest, most romantic thing ever when it’s anybody but white people doing it.
It's surprising how accurate that is. The polynesians likely followed the melanesian and others trade routes. They had an ability to know where land is that is lost to time for the most part now, but most of the islands were inhabited, and the polynesians invaded many a place.
I love Polynesian history, got hooked when I read Captain Cook's first voyage. They're the living proof that humans were meant to find and colonize every inhabitable scrap of land in this earth.
If anybody is interested, you can find first hand accounts of early contacts with the Polynesians for free in project Gutenberg and the internet archive. Rogeveen is the earliest one with readable accounts translated into English (very cool first impressions of Easter Island). Bougainville spent a while I'm Tahiti (months after the first contact) and wrote a lot about in his book.
Finally James Cook was probably the most intelligent and sensitive European man to make early contact with Polynesians.
He simply understood them. He quickly grasped that they were one people, and that their sailing prowess had spread them so far across the Pacific. Not to mention that he took in a man that was possibly the last Tahitian trained in long range navigation as his guest (absorbing a lot of his knowledge during their months together). Anyway read Captain Cook, his stuff is awesome.
Cook was an interesting guy. He explored half of the NorthWest. He also pointed out that the Hawaiian islands were connected because of verneal diseases. He also entered territories the same way Commodore Perry entered Japan to assert dominance.
Liking him while in Hawaii needs to be done quietly BTW.
Its also one of the most hilarious things to try and portray as an amazing new future.
Because being at the whims of random weather on the open ocean as well as whatever you happen to find to scavenge on each new island is so much better than the safety and stability of island living. Its not like agriculture was the moment humans started to develop into a proper dominant species over all others.
Nah fuck all that, a teenage girl went on a quest that was kinda cool. Best leave all of our people's lives up to random chance forever.
Funnily enough that's an analogy I've applied to how progressives vs. right-wingers think in general. Our culture is like a ship that's gone so far out to sea in the name of progress that we can no longer see our home island. The Left are now captaining the ship and assuring everyone that a brand new land of prosperity is just over the horizon. The Right realizes we've been lost for a long time (and that the progressives know it) and are desperately trying to get the passengers to wake up and help turn us back around.
Meanwhile you have sleepy normies who are just enjoying the cruise and mad at "the radical right" for rocking the boat.
>release ten consecutive movies that feature "race blind casting" that puts black people in places and times that make no sense at all
>begin casting a movie about a non-white culture
>suddenly race blind casting is inauthentic and erasure (except for one highly visible character who is inexplicably black)
The Rock is getting old, he needs to strike while the iron is hot if he wants to do roles that require him to be shirtless and ripped. Pharmacology can only take you so far.
Holding pattern until new fuel can arrive at the airport. Considering the airline has no money coming in because they spent all of it on fancy bathrooms, this trend will continue.
This has even less justification to be made, because they can't even pretend its "introducing a new generation" or "advancements of technology." Its literally a beloved movie for young girls from barely a few years ago.
Just cause it ain't our nostalgia, don't mean its not the same problem.
Reminder that this is a movie where a person living on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean has a revelation that "every road leads back to the water", and this is a character-defining moment.

I'm sure they will race swap all the brown characters for real life white actors right? Is that how this works?

In real life, rich assholes:
It's kind of like the ending of Thor Ragnarok. "Asgard isn't a place, it's a people." Wow, white supremacism much?
(((Asgardians)))
Norse mythology subverted and kikified

Calling it now.
I wonder why they didn't do a live action 'Lightyear'?
Oh, wait, I remember.
Sell Disney.

YES! Someday soon we'll remake movies before even the original is released!
Holding pattern until new fuel can arrive at the airport. Considering the airline has no money coming in because they spent all of it on fancy bathrooms, this trend will continue.
They really are morally and creatively bankrupt, aren't they?
Totally looking forward to not watching this one too.
Honestly, I probably respect this more than the remakes of older stuff. At least they're not shitting on old and beloved stuff.
This has even less justification to be made, because they can't even pretend its "introducing a new generation" or "advancements of technology." Its literally a beloved movie for young girls from barely a few years ago.

Fair point.
