Hasta La Motion!

Adventure has no roof. When you are out on a mission, you need to cross all limits and go the  extra mile. It is boils down to a choice of either ‘Turning back out of fear or moving ahead to fight the evil’.

Disney’s upcoming animated feature Moana triggers the warrior within you to fight all odds without worrying much about the consequences. The much awaited trailer was released by Walt Disney Animation Studios recently and, it can be said that the wait for the trailer was worth it!

With green and blue visuals, the trailer opens with the extensive ocean and the merry island where life seems to be full of joy and family bonding. Too much of anything is not good, therefore too much of peace has to be disrupted by some evil too.

Fighting the ferocious lava evil becomes interesting when both Moana and the demigod Maui join hands together. But more than that, the quest for self discovery becomes far more gripping because both Maui and Moana have distinct magical abilities. Maui can change his form and is thus known as a shapeshifter. While, Moana has the ability to morph water to her will, whether it’s to spit her back up from its depths onto her canoe deck or just to give her a high-five. The ocean is her friend and therefore it probably dances to her tunes.

A journey of self discovery is not a new concept in animation but it all depends how well it is executed and how differently the story is told each time. The animation looks seamless with considerable use of colours and water creation. The hair creation of Maui and Moana specifically grabs your attention when you tend to gaze at both the characters.

The water splash, little Moana, Maui’s transformation, the lava monster, the big eyed chicken and of course the tiny coconut pirates add beauty to the whole trailer. Maui is voiced by Dwayne Johnson and the adventurous navigator Moana is voiced by Hawaiian teen Auli’i Cravalho.

Directed by veterans like John Muster and Ron Clements and produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Moana hits theatres on 23 November, 2016.

Don’t Forget To Remember Script

We are hungry learners with voracious appetites
From the moment we’re born
We gobble up information with delight

With every new situation
We eat, we grow
We’re ever so big on all the stuff that we know

This ability to remember
And repeat
Has lead us to our greatest retreat

We sniff out their weakness, we exploit, they lose
And we forget…
“Never judge a person ‘til you’ve walked a mile in their shoes”

We put our childish thoughts away
Instead–we plan, we juggle
And we forget “To seize the Day”

We devise ways to fast track our careers, leapfrogging peers to get what we need,
We forget
“Direction is much more important than speed”

We congratulate ourselves on our negotiation skill
While we forget
“That happiness takes us places money never will”

We stress and we worry when nothings goes our way
Because we forget (to remember)
“Tomorrow’s another day.”

And we bite our tongues stealthily while others speak out…
While we forget
“It’s better to be a tiger for a day than live the life of a mouse”

When all around is having fun
We forget…
“The harder we work, the luckier we become”

Whilst we’re remembering to keep our heads below the parapet,
We’re forgetting
“To leave footprints worth following” instead

And we pat ourselves on the back at how far we have come,
We forget, “We regret…
The things we’ve never done”

As I said, we have voracious appetites.
As we reach the peak of our meal
And sit back full up on all the delights

We’d be wise to remember…
“To be smart enough to realise…
How stupid we are”

As we search for a better way
It’s worth remembering…
“Rome wasn’t built in a day”

And as we dream of the possibilities and all it brings,
Remember
“It ain’t over till the fat lady sings”

So dance and rejoice people,
Take your appetites–gobble up the delights
And let me say,

“Life is not a rehearsal”
So…
“Make the most of every day”

And above all whilst we’re remembering what not to forget
Remember a Charity in your Will
After all, in life. It’s what you give, not what you get
