I'm 29 years old, raised Mormon, and I've still never seen this movie. Is it on Youtube or something? -
That's very interesting.Once at an airport, Wilson met an LDS man who worked at the Pentagon. He told her the U.S. Army has shown "Johnny Lingo" to communities in Third World countries that are trying to rebuild after enduring some disaster.
"The psychology of the film speaks to people," Wilson said. "They can identify with Mahana, with feeling worthless but realizing they can rebuild their inner strength."Comment

And found the connection she has with the person who played her abusive father interesting as well. Along with the fact he is a very accomplish singer..
But the person she's stayed closest to might be a surprise: Joseph Ah Quin, who played Mahana's ill-mannered, infamously shaggy-wig-wearing father, Moki.
Ah Quin, an accomplished singer who has performed with the Metropolitan Opera, even sang in sacrament meeting when Wilson's son left on a mission.
"I do look to him as a father figure," Wilson said. "He's a wonderful man. I know that if I need to seek him out for anything, he is there. We have a real, treasured friendship."Comment

Despite the oversaturation of the movie in Mormon culture generally, and doubly despite the eponymous foil, I quite like this movie. It's got good and (IMO) timeless messages about confidence and treating others as we wish them to be.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.Comment
