What is Moana's Metacritic score?

Moana has a Metacritic score of 81 out of 100.

That number is a weighted average of professional critics’ reviews rather than an audience rating or a percentage of positive reviews. Metacritic lists the score in its “Universal Acclaim” range and bases it on 44 critic reviews for the 2016 animated film.

The score is often mixed up with Moana’s Rotten Tomatoes rating, which measures the share of reviews classified as positive and uses a different calculation. It is also separate from CinemaScore, which records audience reactions after theatrical screenings. Moana’s strong critical response reflected praise for its animation, music, humor, voice performances, and Polynesian-inspired setting. The film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker and features Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana and Dwayne Johnson as Maui.
