Moana: A Biblical Worldview Movie Review for Families
About this episode
Elizabeth Urbanowicz reviews Disney's live-action Moana and discusses how it can be used to teach families about a biblical worldview.
Disney's live-action Moana is in theaters, and it offers Christian families more than a decision about ticket prices. In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz reviews the 2026 film and walks parents through four biblically grounded questions to discuss with their children: how God as Creator differs from Te Fiti, what Scripture says about a human's relationship to the ocean, what our true identity as image bearers is, and where the film's themes of self-sacrificial love point to the true story of Christ. Along the way she notes the content parents should be aware of and offers a framework for using film to train kids to evaluate every idea they encounter through a biblical worldview. Whether or not your family sees the movie, this conversation will help you turn a popular film into an opportunity for discipleship.
