Every year on Thanksgiving Day, my family picks a movie to see once our Thanksgiving meal is done. This year I was extremely excited because we were going to see then newest Disney movie, "Moana." I didn't know much about the storyline, but I was intrigued by Moana's strength and the setting of the story. In my opinion, "Moana" was one of the best Disney, and animated movies, I have ever seen for many, many reasons.

1. The music

When I first saw "Frozen" I was amazed by the music, but the "Moana" soundtrack is truly unbelievable. The young girl's voice who voices Moana is stunning and lively, the music is original, and who know that Dwayne Johnson could sing so well?

2. The scenery and details

The story takes place on a small Polynesian island that looks like a place I would love to visit someday. Not only is the setting gorgeous, the detail in the water and on the island makes the movie live-like and engaging.

3. Moana is a badass

Moana might not be a princess, but she is the daughter of the chief of their island, and she is destined to rule the island. Despite her duty as the chief's daughter, she still fights for what she believes in and makes her own decisions about her life. Moana never backs down from a challenge throughout the entire movie, and she is a genuine role model to young girls.

4. No love interest

Moana and Maui's relationship from start to finish remains strictly civil and friendly. Moana and Maui end up working together during Moana's journey, but she doesn't rely on him to commit acts and rescue her when she is in trouble.

5. Maui's tattoos

One of my favorite details of "Moana" was Maui's moving tattoos. I thought this animation detail was absolutely brilliant, and it added to Maui's character. I also loved how he communicated and interacted with his "mini".

6. Gramma Tala

Gramma Tala is my favorite character in "Moana." I had a very strong relationship with my grandmother before she passed away, so I can relate to Moana's connection with her own. Gramma Tala is so sweet and kind of cooky, but she is wise and loving.
