Another Disney cash-grab. They couldn't just leave Moana alone?

mate, it's about accuracy. If they screw it up everyone complains, so why not get experts?

Eva Anderson2026-07-21T23:40:03.000Z

actually excited for this. The costume design sounds amazing and the cultural aspect is important

As someone who works in film, I know how much effort goes into period/cultural costumes. Liz is a legend.

Yeah nah, Disney just wants that Polynesian tourism money. 'Our culture is the point' until the cheque clears.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T00:53:03.000Z

have no idea how much consultation goes into these things. It's not just a money grab, they actually work with communities.

Honestly if they're hiring actual Pacific Islanders for the design then I'm here for it. Better than whitewashing at least.

Mia Carter2026-07-22T01:13:03.000Z

Would rather they spend the money on local Pacific filmmakers instead of a megacorp, but whatevs

Good on her! Representation matters. So proud to see our stories told properly.

lol 'properly' - it's still a Disney movie. They'll sanitise everything for mass appeal
