I am such a fan of the original animated film, so viewers will always be more critical (including myself) when watching these Live! Action remakes every year.
That being said, I was impressed with the performances from the live actors. How Auli'i was able to sing like while being harnessed in the air?? It was good, for sure. I agree though that switching between the animated and live action wasn't quite as cohesive as they had hoped. Especially because I'm pretty sure they cut part of the animated portion just to speed up to another live action. So although the casting was awesome, it's hard enough to compare to the original, but especially when they're performing along side it giving you no choice but to compare.
