The latest animation from Disney is posing a great victory. The animation titled "Moana" is now setting records and there seems to be no stopping it from its huge success.
The adventures of "Moana" which include sailing out into a daring mission to save her people surely captured the hearts of many viewers. In fact, according to AFP, Disney's "Moana" just topped the North American movie charts.
During the debut weekend of "Moana," it was able to earn $55. 5 million. Having this successful start, the earnings on the coming days are just set to blow up.
True enough, "Moana" sailed into another success. During the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, it was able to garner $81.1 million. In a recent report by BBC, the five-day US holiday weekend was dominated by Disney's "Moana." This means that it is actually the second highest Thanksgiving debut in history.
Disney's "Moana" is second to "Frozen" in the record of Thanksgiving box office. "Frozen" was able to earn $93.6 million when it debuted last 2013.
The story of "Moana," a Polynesian girl who is in for an adventure to save its people, may have been appreciated by a lot of people for its brevity. This just reflects that gone are the days that a girl is portrayed as meek and helpless.
Also, "Moana" is well received because it appropriated the Pacific Island culture. Many people, especially the Pacific persons, were delighted that their culture is being showcased by a movie. Reports suggest that the Pacific persons are happy to watch a film that really relates to them.
It is indeed a brave move for Disney and they are commended for it. The story of "Moana" is sure to unfold a lot of wonders and there are more people being drawn to watch the Polynesian girl battle her foes.
