Originally, I was torn between watching Fantastic Beasts or Romance of the Sea. I thought that I haven't watched any Harry Potter series, but I still watched the animation ocean. The first half of the music is a lot of music, and it's a little boring. The second half is very beautiful, and the special effects are special. Well, the style of painting is very delicate. With the development of the plot, the pictures become richer and the characters are very playful, so the villain can't be disgusted by it. 3d, but comfortable for the eyes to see. I like it very much at the back of the plot, and adults can also watch it. It's not bad. It doesn't have the white lotus flower and fake big sky that I hate. It's very reasonable.

[after Moana attempts to sail a boat for the first time and crashes it]
Moana: Are you gonna tell Dad?
Gramma Tala: I'm his mom. I don't have to tell him anything.

[first lines]
Gramma Tala: In the beginning there was only ocean until the Mother Island emerged. Te Fiti. Her heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. And Te Fiti shared it with the world. But in time, some began to seek Te Fiti's heart. They believed if they could possess it, the great power of creation would be theirs. And one day, the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it. He was a demi-god of the wind and sea. He was a warrior. A trickster. A shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fishhook. And his name was Maui.
[Maui takes the Heart of Te Fiti, causing the island to crumble as he runs away]
Gramma Tala: But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness.
[Maui jumps off a cliff and shapeshifts into a hawk, flying back to his boat]
Gramma Tala: Maui tried to escape but was confronted by another who sought the Heart. Te Ka! A demon of earth and fire. Maui was struck from the sky, never to be seen again. And his magical fishhook and the Heart of Te Fiti were lost to the sea. Where, even now, a thousand years later, Te Ka and the demons of the deep still hunt for the Heart. Hiding in a darkness that will continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island until every one of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death!
[one child screams in fear while another faints as Moana claps]
Gramma Tala: But one day, the Heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's Heart and save us all.
