035. Moana: "You know who you are.‪"‬ A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Disney's Moana


There are some movies that hit harder when you watch them as an adult and some movies that leave you speechless. Moana leaves you speechless and ugly crying. Whether it's the music, the animation, or the message that you could do it all along, this movie does something. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they talk about why they love this movie, why they watched it in the first place, and what parts make them sob in a ball on the couch (there are more than 2).


"But this does not define you. This is not who you are. You know who you are."


There are no spoilers in this episode.
