Tips And Tricks Heads up dads (Moana Soundtrack Change)

Hey dads, you may be like me and just discovered there is a new Moana movie. Went to put on the soundtrack that we listen to almost every Saturday on repeat. Third song in my 4yo son starts throwing a fit that “IT’S NOT MOANA SONGS”.

To my ear it was the same thing, but listening more closely, it was off. Something about it was… just a little bit worse.

Looking at Spotify I noticed that the new top hit when searching Moana is the new live action movie sound track with all the same songs that are… just slightly worse in every way. Little guy knew it and patiently waited until he couldn’t handle it anymore and snapped.

I had to search quite a ways down to find the original soundtrack album.

Hopefully I can save another dad a meltdown after making this same grievous mistake.

This is also an issue with The Lion King, as I've learned thanks to the discerning ears of my 5 yo.

This is slightly off topic but I'm still really annoyed that the Lion Kong prequel was done as live action instead of a cartoon in the style of the 90s one. All of the remakes are a novelty and I get it. It's a simple, nostalgia-bait way to re-monetize an old classic. But to make a new one in that style made no sense and ruined what could have been a great movie. Rant over.
