Beautiful animation, the textures are so nice (hair!) 💕
Songs are pretty good. Auli’i is slay ofc.
I like the new characters, but wish they were more fleshed out. The plot was a bit messy. The movie is pretty long for a kids movie, yet the story and character-building still seemed rushed for time. They didn’t really need that opening scene, she could’ve just found something on the beach or something, and spend that time building up the story and…
The film itself is maybe not great in being a whole, connected story, in a way. It’s a bit… muddled?
However, it hit some points and felt soft, which I needed right now. Also, Kristen Dunst’s character was a quite unique take on the quirky love interest.
Conflicted feelings i guess? Know that this family is like the most hardcore, not a lot of people in Norway have those attitudes towards foreigners.
I will say, as a Norwegian girlie who loves her Norwegian Christmas tradition, I hope we can all respect and not make fun of each other’s traditions, it’s important parts of someone’s identity and it’s a privilege to be able to share that with each other without judgement. You don’t have to eat the fat if you don’t like it lol but no need to make fun of it (seasoning should be allowed tho maam)🤚🏻.
