Finally saw Moana at a friend's house. Was just dropping something off for her to give to a friend during her trip to DC from tomorrow, and she and the hubs were out in the garden doing household things, so I went inside and found the kids watching Moana.

I'd never seen it before, although I think I must have listened to the soundtrack at least once, because a lot of the music seemed really familiar. So I sat down and started watching it.

I'd definitely heard "How Far I'll Go" and "We Know The Way" and "You're Welcome" which are the big three songs, I think.

And yes, I enjoyed it a lot.

One thing disturbed me - I had it in my head that the voyaging chieftain was sung by Lin-Manuel Miranda, but watching the music video, it's a relief to see that it's not - that he's just the narrator for the voyagers, and the chieftain's part is voiced by (presumably) Opetaia Foa'i.
