(Wipes away a tear) They grow up so fast. One day they're watching and loving anything on screen just because it moves, and then suddenly, they're deliberately seeking out media just so they can hate it. This kiddo is gonna hit the Internet running.
For bat lady, Matangi, she does appear in a mid credits scene which also is pointless but has Tamatoa and is attempting to setup a third film or rather a second season if they kept it a series.
There IS reasons given for the other two but they're pretty lame. Fanfic Guy is big and strong and can move stuff with ease and Farmer Guy is there because it's a long journey and they'll need food prep (which. I guess ties into being a farmer? Maybe?) It's super rushed and contrived and the only reason given for it when Moana is even shown IN THIS MOVIE to be capable of wayfinding alone "Journey long, bud" but there was A reason. Not so much of a reason given as to why all three of them remain so flat Also love your kid being old enough to request hate watches lol
This was supposed be a tv show but they did cancel it because they lost so much money on bad movies and tv shows. So they need a hit so they just stitched the three episodes they had into a movie
Given things like Red One, I think you're on the money with your theory about studios finally realizing produced-for-streaming is a profit sinkhole and trying to reconfigure mid-stream.
Yeah its not terrible but it's not good. Although there's a few great character moments imo. I don't love the first one but I can see how its better in basically every way and agree that it is. Although Moana 2's overwhelming popularity, combined with wicked being insanely popular as well, plus rainy weather meant for a weekend that was very busy and not fun for me and my staff at the cinemas. I'm glad I watched this before I worked it. Otherwise, I think I'd absolutely despise the film.
I mean my instinct from hearing about the three extra characters is that they're there because it was originally conceived as a TV show. You've done videos on streaming being difficulty to make a profit on. You've done videos on trying to replicate Dropout and Nebula and crashing and burning in the process. Have you done a video on the fairly unique circumstances that allowed Dropout to be as successful as it has been? (Genuine question, you might have explained that in 'why people trying to replicate Dropout keep failing' video and I'm blanking on you doing so)
SPOILERS There was a mid credit scene with the bat lady, the villain in his "human" form and Tamatoa. I wasnt crazy about most of the movie but I thought the third act was more interesting and I kinda liked the mid credit scene cause I thought the villain design looked pretty cool. A bit like a dark Maui so to speak. So as much as I hate to say I think they should do a third one to close the story of the villain and the bat lady. But please let it be the last one, dont go Kung Fu Panda 4 here (although KFP 4 and Moana 2 are already sort of the same quality, maybe even KFP 4 is a bit better in terms of spectacle).
I honestly don't have any interest in seeing it, and that was true long before I had concerns about the creative choices. I saw it on Broadway, and I don't expect to get much out of seeing the film version. I said in my main channel video, I don't see the point in adapting spectacle musicals in specific to movie format.
You do intentional hate watches in the cinema? I mean, I occassionally do it with series, but cinema is kinda to expensive for me for that ^^; (The closest I get is when I am in a Sneak Preview and refuse to leave) In general the movie is apparently a cut down 8-part series.
This happens when you write a tv show and then cram it into a movie.

I love how your kiddo wanted to hate watch this 😂 also love that you saw this with them instead of seeing Wicked. That's love ❤

Engagement for the engagement god!
Of *all* the things for Disney to bring back, repurposed unaired TV shows really didn't need to be one of them.
I loved Moana 1.

my issue with it is she doesnt need the new people along with her, and to many songs for my taste but it was ok

Where is the Wicked review
They're too afraid too admit they were dead wrong ( I it's really the case just pushing to get the review out faster)

Generally no I don't. And I wouldn't have if it weren't for my kiddo.
I've heard a few reviewers like it I'll wait for I've seen it to form my own opinion of it
I kinda saw the first one, but I have no interest in seeing the second one.
