It was a good film, but felt like it was too close to the general formula of other recent Disney animated films for me to really get much out of it.
We're introduced to the female protagonist as a child, and an older relative explains a special magical power/object that protects them/their home. Once older, that magical element is disappearing/gone and the heroine must go on a quest and through the power of teamwork bring it back.
Yes, I know I'm over simplifying the plots, but at their core Frozen I/II, Moana, and Raya have generally the same structure. I don't dislike it, but I think the studio needs to mix it up a bit more than they have recently.
