Moana as a Disney Princess

 How does it feel to think about DISNEY in through the critical lenses posed by Christensen and my slides? How did these frameworks help you think about Moana?


I have always looked at these movies as an adult through the analytical standpoint of the means and its underlying tone- even more so because I have two toddlers who love to watch movies.


This framework helps me to more quickly analysis the events and the characters in the movies and this can also be a great too to engage the students in learning the terminology that is within the new curriculum- while still being clear and adaptive for MLL students in the classroom.

  1. Glad you got an early start on these. I want to also see your Princess Conventions chart so that I can see you making sense of the details -- can you post a link on the blog as well?

  2. I've also learned as I got older to view these movies through an analytical lens. I still really love Disney movies but a part of me just can't help to check things as I watch them!

  3. Lisa, when watching this movie as you described, through an analytical lens it is a different experience for me. I've watched Moana once before but this time when I watched it, to me it was like watching a different movie.
