Live-Action Moana’s Debut Sparks Concern Over Digital Look and Character Integrity
The first trailer for the live-action “Moana” has been released, and some viewers are expressing concerns. A primary criticism is that the film looks like an animated movie with real actors superimposed, giving it an artificial look. Specifically, the extensive use of CGI for the ocean, islands, and sky makes even the human actors seem out of place. Hei Hei the chicken’s cartoonish appearance has also prompted questions about why the film is being called “live-action” when key characters remain animated. Moana’s smoother hair in the trailer has also drawn criticism, with some arguing that the character no longer resembles the original. These observations have led some to question the purpose of the remake, suggesting they would prefer to simply rewatch the animated version. Catherine Lagaaia’s casting as Moana has received praise, though the film’s heavily digital appearance remains a prominent concern, detracting from its live-action feel.
