You're right -- it's not really usual to see animals in Disney movies portrayed as actual animals with animal behavior, instead of human-like behavior.

M...The best part is the portrayal of the chicken.<br /><br /><br />Most Disney animal sidekicks, like Sven the reindeer from Frozen, or Pascal the chameleon from Tangled, are portrayed as very intelligent, having near-human intelligence and an emotional-support role to the female lead.<br /><br />The chicken is a different story. Even though chickens aren't very smart to begin with, Moana's chicken is dimwitted even in chicken standards. All the other villagers call him useless and suggest they should just cook him for dinner, but Moana fiercely objects and defends the mentally-challenged bird, eventually him being helpful in the end. Even though the chicken gets Moana in trouble with his lack of intelligence, she cares for him, protects him, and never once considers getting rid of him.<br /><br />It's a great representation of society and its treatment of those with intellectual disabilities. Yes, the chicken's dimwittedness was played for slapstick humor, but ultimately, it stands with Moana being patient, protective and compassionate for a bird who simply doesn't know any better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457405943277634544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-29592907224885521522017-02-19T17:35:06.103-06:002017-02-19T17:35:06.103-06:00Honestly, I really loved the "demi guy" ...Honestly, I really loved the "demi guy" line.
