The Little Mermaid was a huge hit. So huge in fact, that they greenlit Moana as a result so I don’t see them changing their minds. I liked Moana, but to be honest I think it probably works best as an animation. What’s exciting about it though, is that there hasn’t been a huge CGI-fest movie about Polynesian myth that takes place in a time without any colonization. It’s exciting.
There has been talks of a Moana remake before the little mermaid cast choices were released. As far as I can tell, support was there if auli’i cravalho maintained her role but that is not the case. And a “CGI-fest” about Polynesian myth is a bit insulting if the cast, writers, and directors are not Polynesian. Or don’t respect Polynesian culture like the original Moana production team did. I am not looking forward to this film.
