This book was trying sooo hard to mimic @Lost Stars (Star Wars) , you can't help but compare them. This definitely hurt this book.
Firstly, the author did not develop the two main characters' childhood friendship enough to understand the bond they had. Therefore, I didn't understand or care about the romance that developed between the characters. The story line was tired and predictable. The characters just weren't developed enough.
The only thing I did like about the book was the description of Bantuu, and the Black Spire Outpost. It's good background for Galaxy's Edge, the new theme parks at Disney World and Disney Land.

Also, the book kept mentioning Hondo, but he never appeared. How old is he by now? His first appearance was the first season of @Star Wars: The Clone Wars . From pictures, I know he wanders around the park.

So, basically, this lame-o YA romance novel was only worth reading for details on Bantuu.

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.

Utterly captivating. A masterful piece of good old fashioned story telling. (0 more)
A grimm fairytale
I haven't been so completely drawn into a book since I read Michael Ende's "Neverending Story" (hell mend you Disney for what you did to that exquisite novel). This is a heartachingly tender story of childhood bereavement and bewilderment. The tale is so skillfully woven I walked every step of the story with the lost and lonely little protagonist.
