The La Mirada Library invites you to put on your favorite PJs for a free movie at the library this Tuesday featuring Disney’s animated adventure film Moana in their Pajama Party Movie Night series for children. Gather your friends to enjoy movies at the library generously sponsored by the Friends of the La Mirada Library.
An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master way-finder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she always sought: her own identity.
Sandie Angulo Chen, of Common Sense Media, states “Parents need to know that Moana is an animated Disney adventure about a Polynesian island chief’s daughter who sets off on a quest to save her people. With Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson voicing demigod Maui and a score that features original music by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the movie should appeal to viewers of all ages. Scary, perilous scenes include run-ins with frightening, violent monsters (one made of lava, the other a giant crab) and with ocean storms and waves. Characters also go up against a ship full of adorable (but armed) coconut pirates, a character dies (offscreen), and a couple of male authority figures yell at Moana. There’s also a bit of language along the lines of “butt” and “dumb.” Otherwise, the movie should be fine for younger viewers, offering positive messages of self-discovery and empowerment. And Moana herself is a great role model, demonstrating perseverance, curiosity, and courage.”
Moana was released in November 2016. The film’s gross box office revenue is over $690 million. MPAA Rating: PG peril, some scary images, and brief thematic elements. For families with children 3 – 17 years old.
