Family guide to new movie releases
Published in Parenting News
'MOANA'
Rated PG for action/peril, some scary images, rude humor and brief thematic elements.
What it’s about: The young princess Moana is chosen by the ocean to return the heart of Te Fiti in order to save her island and she teams up with the demigod Maui to do so (same plot as the first movie!).
The kid attractor factor: The familiarity with the original animated Moana, the songs, the story, the heartwarming and adventurous tale.
Good lessons/bad lessons: You can find what you need to do within yourself.
Violence: Some perilous and dangerous sequences and situations.
Language: None, just a couple of naughty-ish jokes.
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Appropriate for kids of all ages.

The kid attractor factor: Not much, this is a silly comedy aimed at adults.

Violence: Some extreme and jarring violence.
Language: Swearing throughout.
Sex: A couple of extended sex scenes (no nudity) and multiple references to sex.
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: This is better for adults and mature teens.
