Moana
9/10
I
decided to finally start plowing through my Netflix list and watched
Moana. As you can tell by the score I fucking loved this movie. I'm
not sure why I waited so long to see this. Hmm. Maybe because it
takes a lot for me to get interested in animated movies these days.
This is about a chief's daughter on a Polynesian island where her
entire life she just wants to leave and go across the sea. Her dad is
like “Fuck all that!” while her grandmother encourages her. As
she grows up with the water being one of her friends along with a pig
and an insane chicken that is close to the star of this movie she
eventually sets sail after she finds out that the island is slowly
dying.
This
movie had actual laugh out loud moments and a scene that made onion
ninjas appear and almost get me. I had a lot of fun watching this
movie and suggest it to anyone. Oh, and the songs are really good.
They don't feel forced. There is one done big a crab that I really
liked and the one by The Rock has had me singing “You're welcome!”
all damned day.
Kubo
And The Two Strings 2/10
I also
watched Kubo And The Two Strings. I'd wanted to watch this for a
while because I liked the way the animation looked. This one turned
out to be a huge disappointment. It's about a one eyed boy whose
mother is hiding him from his grandfather that wants both of his eyes
and her crazy ass sisters. He has to be home from the village where
he plays music that makes origami come to life before the sun goes
down. He lives in a cave with his mother who is almost always in a
coma-like state. One day he stays out too late trying to talk to his
dead father and is attacked by his aunt. Next thing you know mom is
dead and he is on a quest with a monkey and beetle samurai.
I
liked the animation of this and the hard work involved which is why I
gave this a 2 instead of a 1. But the story was weak as hell, the
voices did not fit this at all, and the ending (including the dumb
ass twist) was lame. If you watch this on mute you may enjoy it.
