Ranking The 10 Best Disney & Pixar Films Since 2000
7. Moana
Moana was the film that taught an entire generation of people about not wrecking the natural habitat around you.
The reason for Moana's success was that it captured the zeitgeist of the moment. A film about environmentalism and the natural world told with brilliant songs and well written, funny characters showcase what Disney do best.
Hiring The Rock to voice the supporting character Maui, a Demi-God, was a fantastic choice by Disney, as he gave a charisma and charm to the character that would have been hard for anybody to top.
As far as Moana herself, she is a complete, well-rounded character with flaws and depth that make her as good a protagonist as Disney have given us over the long years, and when mixed together with a sharply told story, it all comes together rather well.
With a box-office taking of $690 million against a production budget of $175 million, Moana didn't do Frozen numbers, but it was more than successful enough to begin talks over a sequel.
With an RT score of 95% and an ending that is nothing short of perfect, this supreme Disney tale makes it into the top 10.
