The Rock’s God-Awful Wig Is Least of Disney’s ‘Moana’ Disaster
DisneyIn 1998, Gus Van Sant infamously directed a shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, which confirmed the pointlessness of strict adaptation fidelity. Disney has spent the past decade-plus demonstrating that it didn’t learn that lesson. While a few of its live-action re-dos of its animated hits have been passable (Cinderella, Lilo Stitch), most have proved depressingly redundant—which is precisely the way to describe the latest addition to this ignoble line-up, Moana.Arriving less than 10 years after the premiere of its beloved source material, Thomas Kail’s rehash (July 10, in theaters) is as purposeless as big-screen summer spectaculars get—a would-be blockbuster driven purely by financial concerns and incapable of capturing its forerunner’s buoyant spirit.
