Also don't use <br> per the rules on the template.
I've changed them to plainlists. Is this OK?
The use of "set to" in the first paragraph feels repetitive.
I've replaced the second instance of "set to" with "will".
The first sentence in the second paragraph seems short. Try combining it with the next one.
Done
That being said, the first sentence in the last paragraph actually feels a bit long.
I've removed some of it.
The last two sentences also need to be, either included in the body or sourced.
I've removed most of them.
Development
Conception and writing
Remove the comma after "Polynesian mythology".
Done
"perspective" → "perspectives"
Done
Add (2014) after What We Do in the Shadows.
Done
Is the mention of Waititi's joke necessary?
Probably not; removed.
"gender-based theme" → "gender-based themes"
Done
"resume navigation" → "resume voyage navigation"
Done
Voice
Is there a word missing between "directors hundreds"?
Yes, but seeing as there's no source, I've removed it.
Quotes should always have references so recite the reference after "it is".
Done
"favourite" → "favorite" (consistency)
Done
Move the reference after "brave" to the end of the sentence.
Done
"that s" → "that's"
Done
Again, each quote needs a reference, so recite certain sources.
Done
Add a comma after "directors, animators".
Done
Add a comma after "Temura Morrison".
Done
In this section, and in others, change "..." to "[...]" (visually appealing)
Done
Personality and design
Recite after each quote.
Done
"colour" → "color" (consistency)
Done
There seems to be a lot of trivia in these paragraphs, especially the last one.
I've removed the last paragraph and tried to remove unnecessary details.
"like Cravalho does" → "as Cravalho does"
International versions
"under way" → "underway"
Done
Each performer in the table needs a reference.
I've added references to some of the performers in the table but could the film possibly be used as a primary source for the performers? If not, I'll removed the unsourced entries.
Appearances
Don't just copy-and-paste summaries from other articles. Try paraphrasing and trimming the length of each summary.
A drive-by comment regarding criterion 6a: The lead image, File:Moana Disney.webp, needs to be significantly smaller (something like 233 x 429 pixels, in place of its current 868 x 1600 size) to meet the subsidiary non-free content guidelines at WP:IMAGERES. Probably the reason that this has languished for months without the bot doing it automatically is its nonstandard webp format. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The only reason why many of the others say "(Disney character)" is because, for a lot of Disney's catalog of films, they're often based on an existing fictional story, which would make things like "Cinderella (character)" or "Snow White (character)" ambiguous as heck. However, that extra bit of disambiguating is not needed for these two. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
