5 Reasons To Get Excited For Disney's 'Moana'
Disney Movies

So far, little is known about Disney's next big animated picture, "Moana." Despite it being scheduled to come out this November, there has only been one trailer and limited concept art and music. However, there is enough known about the upcoming film to start getting pumped for it.

1. The animation looks beautiful.

Oh. My. Gosh. The animation. It looks fantastic. Just amazing. What we have seen is pure beauty. The shots of the water are simply mesmerizing and pretty much every shot from the trailer could be a painting. If it is anything like Disney's previous ventures into the Polynesian Islands, it should be just amazing.

2. It is coming from Disney legends.

Directed and written by the same team that brought The Princess and the Frog, there is no way that either Moana's story will be anything other than amazing. The story of a young adventurer connecting with her family's past already seems interesting and fun. Moana should probably hold up to Disney's previous animated features.

3. Disney's first Polynesian princess.

Though we previously had the amazing Lilo and Nani, neither of them really fit the princess bill. But from what we can see, Moana looks like she'll fit right in with the other royal ladies. It will be a much needed change, since the last four additions to the princess lineup were white. Most of the lineup still remains white.

4. The cast.

"Moana" features newcomer, Auli'i Cravalho, who is adorable and looks to be very talented, and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, who is also extremely excited about his role. Of course, Disney favorite Alan Tudyk is also cast in the new film. We still don't know most of the cast, but those three alone are going to knock it out of the ballpark.

5. The music.

The music is was written by none other than Lin Manuel Miranda of "Hamilton" and "Star Wars" fame. If he wins an Oscar for his work on "Moana," he will have an EGOT: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony. So far, what we have heard of the music sounds great. He even lent his voice to the trailer and might be bringing along Hamilton co-star, Phillipa Soo.

Though Disney has released some less than good films in the past, they have always been at the forefront of cinema and animation, and "Moana" is going to be up there with many beloved Disney movies. A film about family and adventure, whats not to love? I predict that come November 2016, this movie will be blowing up your newsfeed. And even if it is not, it will still be a fantastic movie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
