About this episode

The episode reviews the live-action adaptation of Disney's Moana, exploring its new elements and comparing it to the original film.

Moana is the latest Disney movie to get the live-action treatment, with Catherine Laga'aia stepping in as the title character and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as Maui. The original only came out 10 years ago, so Sandro went to an early screening to see if this remake brings anything new to the table.
