In addition to representing a natural, independent, determined and empathetic leader who refuses labels and does not want to be called a princess, Moana illuminates a path of respect for nature and responsibility from our own choices, broadening our personal view.

From the same director
The Princess and the Frog
If you're a fan of classic Disney animations, from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' to 'The Little Mermaid', this is another unmissable classic. 'The Princess and the Frog' marked the studio's brief return to traditional animation techniques. It's also a much more inclusive and appropriate fairy tale for contemporary generations.
Hercules
Disney has already spoken about various cultures in its animations. The Chinese ('Mulan'), the Hawaiian ('Moana') and the Greek in 'Hercules'. Although it dives into the mythology of Ancient Greece, with the gods who helped shape the culture and religion as we know it today, it is interesting to observe this different look from the studio on a theme already so explored - the myth of Hercules, after all, has already won almost a dozen costumes in the movies. Obviously, here the Mickey Mouse studio follows a colorful and musical path, with some of the most creative and interesting characters from the studio. There is no sensitivity of 'Beauty and the Beast', nor the impact of 'Cinderella', for example. But 'Hercules', still, is one of those movies that leave you with a smile on your face, remembering the good ideas of the plot and humming the songs that accompany this so well-known, but creative story.
Treasure Planet
"Treasure Planet" might be the most underrated and underappreciated Disney movie. Initially aimed at television and VHS and DVD markets, the animation was eventually left behind and forgotten. However, directors John Musker and Ron Clements (of "Moana" and "The Princess and the Frog") hit the nail on the head when they created a dystopia with pirate and steampunk influences that traverses multiple universes and types of adventure. There is fantasy here, but also music, emotion, entertaining characters, and a breathtaking plot with revolutionary visuals for the time. A movie that deserves to be remembered, just like "Atlantis".
Adventure
The Magician's Elephant
Follows Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister. When he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, he want to know, is his sister still alive? To get the answer, he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting Peter off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change the face of his town.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Based on the homonymous illustrated book by Charlie Mackesy, 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' is a beautiful animated short film exclusive to Apple TV+. Through art direction that looks like an animated watercolor - imitating the style of the book -, the film tells the simple story of empathy and friendship between the four title characters. Beautiful and totally appropriate for children, although it will certainly warm the heart of even the toughest adult.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Sequel to the 2019 film, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' starts differently. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is now a teenager, nearing adulthood, who can transform into a superhero (Levi) when he invokes a sort of mystical power. Now, however, he is not alone: his foster siblings also share the power and begin to defend the city of Philadelphia, in the United States, from villains. This is the case with three Greek gods (Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu) who threaten the superhero family by facing other strong mystical powers. The film doesn't have the brilliance of DC's "independent" productions like 'Batman' and 'Joker', but it's also far from being a disaster like 'Batman v. Superman', 'Justice League', and even 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The film has a certain freshness, similar to that seen in Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'. Like in the first feature, director David F. Sandberg ('Lights Out') knows that Shazam's story cannot be as grand as Batman's journey on the big screen, for example, or Superman's. He needs to focus on the little, on the closeness of these heroes who are actually teenagers experiencing almost magical powers. That's where the fun and the difference of the film lies, which doesn't take itself too seriously and therefore doesn't make any commitment to the viewer to be grand or opulent. It goes straight to the point, being its main virtue and making the experience the most enjoyable possible in the end.
We Have a Ghost
If you remember the classic movie The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy, then you'll find something similar in this Netflix movie. We Have a Ghost is the story of a family that moves into a typical haunted house, where a ghost (David Harbour, Stranger Things) resides and doesn't remember what happened, so the family decides to solve the mystery. It's a wild mix of genres, from action to comedy, horror, and mystery. It's not always very coherent, but it's very entertaining. Plus, Jennifer Coolidge's (The White Lotus) performance is very funny.
