Episode 167 - How Far I'll Go by Keala Kendall
What if Moana was worse?
Sam and Kaitlyn discuss How Far I’ll Go, one of the newest entries in Disney’s Meant to Be series and unfortunately, this one was a major disappointment.
We came away asking:
• What lesson was this story even trying to teach?
• Why does the plot feel like “What if Moana was dumber?”
• And how did a relationship built around loving someone out of abusive behavior make it into the final version?
We unpack the characterization, the story choices, and why this feels like a weak showing for a new author entering the series. Sometimes adaptations miss the magic and this one left us more confused than charmed.
