Moana Research Paper

Walt Disney Company is raking in profit with its new smash hit animated film, Moana. The movie made over $82 million within the thanksgiving weekend. Although the box results are close to Disney’s massive 2013 hit, Frozen ($93.6 million), Moana scored the second best thanksgiving debut of all time. Disney’s tropical animated story features Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), who voices the demigod Maui and 16 year old Auli'i Cravalho who voices the main character, Moana.

The music in Frozen was good but the soundtrack in Moana is superior. One example is, “You’re Welcome” where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is singing. The song is catchy and manage to stand out.
