The Verdict Genre Clash
This matchup has 11 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
The difference is where the songs get sung. Moana's are car songs: 'You're Welcome' and Tamatoa's glam-rock 'Shiny' get belted from the back seat by kids who've never been to a theatre. Wicked's are performances, built to be watched from a seat with the lights down, and they're superb, but a six-year-old doesn't sing along to a number built for a Broadway house. Add that Moana has a chicken for comic relief and nothing scarier than a lava monster, and it is simply the film that fits more bedtimes. Wicked is the bigger event, and Moana fits in a Tuesday.
