I got the surprise news that the movie Moana is now available on Netflix, and it made me think about my friend Becky's little daughter who absolutely love, LOVES the movie Moana. On a recent girls' road trip to Wenatchee, my friend Becky plugged in her iphone to the stereo, and her 4-year old daughter, Charlotte, sang all the songs at the top of her lungs...

From 'Can't Stop The Feeling!' to 'The Empty Chair,' find out who's nominated for Best Original Song Oscar at the 89th Academy Awards — and decide who should win.

From the heartwarming 'Moana' to the masterful 'Moonlight', these are the best films that defined our 2016.

The box office success of Moana feels like destiny: an old school Disney formula plus 21st century polish plus great songs plus the mere presence of Dwayne Johnson and near-universal critical notices is a surefire recipe for success...

It seems to me that Moana brought in two very different audiences this holiday weekend. For some, Moana was the newest entry in a long line of Disney princess movies and a step in the right direction for the studio in terms of inclusiveness and empowering young women. For others, it was a chance to cure their Lin-Manuel Miranda withdrawals after the turnover of the Hamilton cast and the end of the regular Ham4Ham sidewalk performances. That probably explains the odd mix of millennials and children at the recent matinee you attended.
