For the scope of the project, I think they actually did a really good job. Though they do need to replace the screen-heads for those newer animatronics they are using overseas, which I hope they do sooner than later. Yes, it deserved a big, purpose built attraction of it's own - but...as much as I have a personal affinity for Malestrom, I know that way more happy guests walk off of FEA than ever did that ride.
Yeah, I mean - I haven't even seen the whole film, so it wouldn't be on my personal fantasy list of themes for new rides, but Moana certainly feels like it's on its way to being a true Disney classic (I'm sure some feel it already is), and definitely has some catchy, up-beat tunes. I also wouldn't mind another water ride, at all. I wish they would have put a new water ride where Tron is, LOL, but aside from that nitpick - this does sound promising if they indeed do it as a real E-Ticket experience.
