Moana [Blu-ray 3D] [2016] [Region Free]

Buying the Moana Blu ray turned out to be a costly and tortuous event for us as parents, so be warned.To summarize the worst symptoms of our family’s-Moana-mania;It’s hard to deny that the movie has catchy songs, that is, the first few times you’ll hear the music. But it will start to bore soon after lengthy and loud sessions during frequent car trips abroad – as in our case. This brings me to the point that we had to ‘invest’ as well in both in the CD - importantly with lyrics-booklet. AND the digital copy for on the Ipads. But also our neighbours got their share of Moana-grief following our daughter’s frequent sing-along sessions in her bedroom.Worse, our 4-year old son developed a bipolar fascination (for lack of a better expression) for two of the main characters; Most of the time he wants to be Maui. So he insisted on getting a ‘life-size’ fishhook for his birthday, an excellent electronic toy by the way, that we got on Prime– but it’s quite large and unwieldy. Yet he goes nowhere without it. His Maui-episodes from time to time drive him to cover his body with temporary exotic tattoo’s – with which he then tries to have a conversation ..Worse is when he decides it’s time to be Tamatoa or ‘Shiny’, as she calls him. This however comes with loud singing of the shiny-song and a lot of dancing on ‘four legs’, quite bizarre .. but to his and our frustration we have so far failed to find him a lobster suit his size.Our daughter has been slightly less demanding but still got a Moana dress and seashell necklace, that she actually got bored with soon given her age.Aside from these inconveniences we had to expense quite a bit so far on Moana-related merchandise; next to the 3D blu ray, a digital copy, a fishhook, the CD, the Moana dress, and the necklace, by now we also have a collection of plastic Moana figures, a few books and several Moana Lego sets.. easily adding up to over 175 GBP - clever people at Disney..Yes I realize that as parents we have failed by giving in too much to our children’s antics. I hopeother families are be more disciplined and shielded from this commercial trap.Aside from all this Moana is a great and very entertaining family movie, that at least for us has a place among the biggest Disney classics. The first time you see it as a parent should be quite entertaining. The storyline is okay, perhaps somewhat predicate. But at least it lacks the almost compulsory love story! Also the movie is not a classic princess story, there is enough male character and hero to make it appealing to boys as well. And yes I’ve heard the music perhaps a bit too much, but it’s really very good (the first few times). So despite all my ‘grief’ it’s still a firm 5-star rating for us, not the least because the children simply adore it.Where possible we buy the 3D version of movies. This one looks very crisp and immersing in 3D on our fairly high-end OLED screen with proper surround sound

A lovely comedy animated movie for all the family.

I didn't expect to like this ... I'm a 52 year old man with no interest in Disney Princess films but it was SUPERB!Even the songs, which normally annoy me, were great and the animation and story were really good fun.The 3D blu-ray is effective and miraculously Disney have learned the lesson of NOT forcing 5 or more trailers on the viewer before the film starts; this one was straight in to the top menu. Recommended.

Brought this for my dad and we absolutely loved it! My second fav Disney film after Beauty and the Beast. It was so funny! And the songs are just addictive, brilliant and sweet. I now have them on repeat on YouTube as I loved them so much. The best film I have seen in a while.

My granddaughter loves this movie. I have a 3-d tv and she also enjoys films in that format. To me it is better in 3-D. Although I live in the states I have to order a lot of my 3-d movies from the U.K. It is nice I have this option.

Wonderful new Disney princess movie. Just the crab scene grated - the garish song and visuals brought the overall story down and cheapened it - but then it picked back up again and finished with the slam-dunk we expect of Disney princess movies. :-)

One of disneys best movies to date. It's funny, it has a strong female lead, the animation is stunning, the songs are superb and the story is captivating. An absolute joy to watch!

Great 3D experience
