For those who are not aware, Disney has released yet another princess movie. This new princess, well, daughter of a chef joins the line up as number 14. With long, curly black hair, brown eyes, and a spirited personality, Moana stands out from past princesses.

I have always been a big fan of Disney, especially their princesses. I am a girl after all. So, when the news came out that a new one was coming out, I couldn't wait. I saw the first trailer when I went to see "Finding Dory." I also kind of screamed when I found out the one and only Lin-Manuel Miranda would be writing the music. (He wrote and starred in the Broadway hit, "Hamilton.") After that, I watched every trailer that was released. The amount of excitement I was feeling was pretty much equivalent to that of a five-year-old.

I had my chance to watch this wonderful piece of animation the week after Thanksgiving Break. With popcorn in one hand and my drink in the other, I sat in the theater that contained mostly small children and their parents. My friends and I had to be the oldest there. But I did not care. When the opening score started, I nestled down in my seat. I was ready to be wowed by another Disney movie.

I'm not going to share any spoilers. But, sorry "Pocahontas," you've been knocked down a notch. The character of Moana exceeded my expectations. Everything about her. The thing that wowed me the most was how normal she looked, and I am so happy with that. I remember wishing I looked like the past princesses, skinny and tall. But Moana is a little curvy and on the shorter side. Her sassy attitude was a bonus. This is such a good change on Disney's part. Moana is going to be a great princess for little girls to look up to. She is by far my favorite Disney princess now, and I can't overlook baby Moana. I think my heart melted a little when she toddled onto the screen, those big brown eyes, curly hair, and chubby little thighs made my heart happy.

In addition, she's the princess we need right now. She is so full of dreams and passion. I think America's forgotten how to feel that way. Moana is also very positive, even when the odds seemed against her. The people of America seem to focus on the negative in everything. It's hard to see a smile on anyone's face when they walk down the sidewalk. Hopefully, people will go and see Moana and get a little positivity in their life. This movie is a little ray of sunshine that our country needs right now.

All in all, I was blown away by the movie. I want to go see it again and again. No guarantees that I won't buy it when it is released on iTunes.
