"Beyond" sounds Arabic to me

Lin Manual Miranda did SO WELL at making the music in the first Moana evoke images of oceans, beaches, and islands.

To me, "Beyond" sounds like it was inspired by Arabic music with the little vocal trills. It doesn't sound like Pacific island music at all. The songwriters completely ignored basic principles of ethnomusicology, which is one of the many reasons Moana II will never be loved as the first one.

I could be wrong. Any music nerds can confirm or negate?

My dream is to bring back the Palace Pet franchise: part 1

Not for greedy purposes or anything, I just wanna see if I can create a good story for young viewers on the same level as Sofia the first and Lion Guard, maybe this can be a whisker haven reboot after my 2d-3d princess remake plan is complete! Though I might save that for a potential part 6.

If it were back I would give Moana and Merida some pets of her own, but thats going to be for part 2.

There will be 4 pets that won’t be included but I’ll save that for part 3.

I’ll also give the some of the existing princesses new pets which I’ll explain in part 4.

In part 5, I will discuss the problem with them, how they got discontinued and how their lore with the princesses can be fixed with my CGI/3d remake idea of the 2d princesses.

Also, I want to try giving some of them accents to link them more to their princesses historical roots. But for now let’s talk in the comments and I’ll see you in part 2. I hope I’m not spoiling myself too much, otherwise I might never get into Disney. Also, what is your favorite palace pet?
