Family guide to new movie releases

"MOANA"

Rated PG for peril, some scary images and brief thematic elements.

What it's about: A young girl on a Pacific Island sets off beyond the reef to return the heart of the goddess Te Fiti, which was stolen by the mischievous demi-god Maui.

The kid attractor factor: It's the latest Disney animated feature _ it's the kid movie event of the year.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Be your own hero _ you don't have to wait for someone else to do it. You can choose to do the right thing instead of being chosen to do it. Be strong, smart, capable and kind.

Violence: There are some harrowing scenes as Moana and Maui battle a giant crab, escape coconut pirates and ultimately face down the lava monster Taka.

Language: None

Sexuality: None

Drugs: None

Parents advisory: Will be the new favorite film of kids of all ages.
