Note: I received product sample for review purpose, however any personal views expressed are always 100% my own


We received our own blu-ray for review and have been enjoying all the extra features including never before seen bonus.

Which is really exciting for me since I attended the Moana Red Carpet & Premiere Party while in LA and thought I learned everything about this movie. But there's still more amazing things to learn!

Moana Activity Sheets

To celebrate the release of Disney Moana on Blu-ray & Digital HD, here are great craft and activities sheets to print and enjoy.

3 Reasons to See Moana

So here are 3 reasons you should own Moana on Blu-ray or other format!

Reason #1: Bonus Features

So many bonus features. There's deleted scenes, various video clips sharing everything from music to fashion and animation of characters. There's even a mini movie!

Reason #2: Audio Commentary

Audio Commentary. I love listening to the audio commentary while watching a film. It's great to hear direct from the actors and directors about the ideas of filming a scene. Or a funny moment. Or anything. It's all being shared directly to you.

Reason #3: Rewatching

Watch the original film. This one is kinda obvious right? If you loved Moana as much as we did then you'll enjoy being able to watch it over and over and over again. While singing along to all the songs of course.

As you can see there's lots to enjoy on the Moana Blu-ray and other digital formats. So make sure to get your copy!
