Nice character design (2 more)
Fun story
Plenty of humour for adults as well
Warm & fuzzy animation
A bright, colourful animated film with some funny characters. The story is ok and there is plenty to keep the older generation amused as well. Personally for me it's not as good as @Toy Story (1995) and a few other Pixar films.

Joy, Anger, Fear, Sadness and Disgust
Well, that was a brave move by Disney Pixar.
Remember the old Beano/Dandy cartoon The Numskulls? This takes a superficially similar approach, following the emotions (who are given form) of a young girl named Riley after her family move to a new city.
Typical top-notch animation with a message at its core - in this case, that every emotion (even Sadness) has its place - from Pixar

Unique music!
Heroine is independant!
Best in years!
Such a well made a beautiful movie. I fell in love with the unique music in this film and the beautiful animation. I can't tell you how many times I have watched it. One of the things I love most is the fact that Moana is not a Disney Princess. She is the chief of the village, on the same level as her father.

Beautiful depiction of Mexican culture
Contains spoilers, click to show
The animation in this movie is beautiful. I love the use of color! The story is cute, if predictable. The music is upbeat and catchy. There were a few things that bothered me. Why does the whole family go by the last name Rivera? Shouldn’t the family branches have taken the men’s last names? Also why doesn’t De La Cruz know that Miguel is not his great-great-grandson?

Entertaining Monster Dating Sim
So, I'll preface this by saying that I've never played a dating simulator before but it looked cute and I needed something to waste time on so I purchased it on Steam. The content is pretty original, definitely not kid friendly even though the animation looks as if it would be. The possible endings (but mostly rejections) are incalculable. Enjoying something different.

Plot is new enough to not be a bore
Animation
It's for Kids
Look, it's not Citizen Kane. But kids movies are usually not great, and kids Christmas movies are especially bad. This was actually enjoyable, especially because of the voice acting.
If you are an adult, I can't recommend watching more than once. But as a parent, I look forward to watching this over the Jim Carey version ever year.

Weird, just weird
1st time that I've watched one of the Studio Ghibli films and I've got to be honest it wasnt my cup of tea. Bit like the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, with a different storyline arc. Very strange and a bit of a mind trip.
Like I say, not for me, but lots of people love it. 8/9 for some. Just a 6 for me
