Is this Avatar 4?
Disney live action movies always look like shite
Why?
Please!! Don’t ruin this for kids!! They still have the original you can skip this! Y’all adults are ruining kids’ enjoyment of these movies with all this crying; you’re not the only ones watching these movies Peter Dinklage!! It’s not ALL about big grown adults!! Allow your kids to have a freaking childhood damn!!
I wonder why Rotten Tomatoes turned off comments for this trailer? lol
I think it could be a good idea if this is Moana 3. And also is in 3D.
oh for fk sake….
They didn’t show Maui except from the back where he looked cartoonish. So everything is CGI except Moana and her family? I can almost understand turning cartoons CG, but this original was CG.
Omg I think it looks amazing! Beautiful!
Booooo
I won’t watch Live action Moana because I stopped watching Live action remakes after Lion King 2019 and Lilo and stitch 2025!👿👎
boring
the need to….repeat…? i mean, the CGI looks pretty much like normal 3D…so the live action looks animation fashioned.
