Moana 2 (theatrical) - I also watched the first one the other day.  The
first one is OK, I guess.  This sequel has Moana going on a mission to
reunite her people with the rest of the world.  I'm not sure I noticed
in the first movie they were isolated. I know they were on an island and
all, but somehow I missed they were also cut off from the rest of
humanity. This was not as good as the first one.  Apparently it was
originally going to be a TV series and at the last minute they reworked
it into a movie.  Had this remained a TV series, I wouldn't have
bothered to watch.  A certain something happens in this movie, and when
it happened, I said to myself did I just see what I think I just saw.
And then behind me I could suddenly here some kid start to cry, loudly.
Later in the day I saw this warning online to parents they may not want
to take their kids to see this movie in the theater because of a certain
scene (they didn't say what to avoid spoilers), so watch it in the
safety of your home instead.  And I instantly knew what scene they were
talking about.  It made one kid cry!  LOL.  It's not funny, but it is
funny.  I don't see how watching that scene at home makes it any better.

Okay, ROT-13 it for those of us who are curious but are absolutely not going
to go see the movie just to find out.
