The TVI Take

Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois's Disney feature committed to making a non-traditional family, sisters raising each other after parental loss, the film's actual subject. The Elvis soundtrack is genuine cultural placement, not decoration.

The Hawaiian setting is rendered with more specificity (tourism economics, social services, sibling guardianship) than Disney typically affords.
