This is one of those movies where I wonder why I don't give them a B+ or higher. It might be a little of the comedown from seeing the dazzling visuals on my TV instead of in the movie theater. It might be that I think that there are two great songs ("You're Welcome" and "Shiny"), while the others are solid but less memorable. It might be that, having seen the movie at least twice before today, the plotting feels not quite right, from the introduction of not one but two sidekick animals (with the pig disappearing for about an hour while the chicken affects the plot) to the formulaic departure and then return of Moana's demigod frenemy, Maui. That said, the visuals remain lovely, the mix of emotional tones works, and the incorporation of Polynesian heritage is both respectful and playful.
The four directors are (in alphabetical order) Ron Clements, Don Hall, John Musker, and Chris Williams.
