Ocean, Oceania, Ocean
Disney's 56th animated feature film.
The world premiere took place on November 23, 2016, and the Russian premiere took place on December 1, 2016.
Budget — $150,000,000 / Gross — $643,331,111
One of the highest-grossing, complex and unrealistically beautiful cartoons in the history of Disney.
In Europe, the cartoon is called "Vayana" due to copyright issues.
In China, the title was changed to "Ocean Romance"
In Italy — to “Oceania” There the main character is called Vayana.
In France, the subtitle was changed to “The Legend of the End of the World,” and in Latin America — Sea Adventures.
Moana is the second Disney princess whose life is not based on a legend and who does not have a romantic arc. The first was Merida from the cartoon Brave.
In a film about sailors, it would be stupid not to work on the water, its textures, reflections and physics. Also, the team picked up the hairstyle animation technology from the same cartoon “Brave”
Next, I collected the most juicy scenes from the cartoon, which evoke in me extremely positive emotions and boundless respect for the people who had a hand in working on this miracle.
If you haven’t watched it yet, it’s better to stop at this point and watch it 😊 This cartoon is clearly worth it.
I watched it almost on the day of the premiere and still remember this day and these emotions, which otherwise have not changed after time.
