Ordered my book but through Amazon.
Just saw the movie, it's probably the most gorgeous animated film ever but the story is just alright with some holes in it. Main characters, Moana and Maui, are good. Overall it's very good. As a Hawaiian the Polynesian reprsentation was not as bad as imagined especially as compared to other Hollywood films. So everybody go see it and enjoy it. Not much tiki except for the gateway to the monster realm. Since the storyline involves Polynesian gods and demigods, I'm surprised that there wasn't much tiki . I guess it was a political thing on what kind of tiki would have been appropriate to the fictional location and time setting.
go and enjoy.
