What? No Moana thread?

Watched it over the weekend. Thought it pretty good, and reminded me in a weird way of Aladdin. The central theme (be who you are inside), the main action being the hero(ine) and magical demigod level sidekick, the animal companion, even the demigods song routine/ montage of powers.

Not a criticism, by the way, just an odd parallel that stuck in my mind, just like Your Welcome has been. My three year old was entranced by the singing crab, especially.
