Christina Chen

Christina Chen’s filmography? Oh, you’re in for a treat. She’s got her fingerprints all over some of the most vibrant, animated spectacles in recent memory. Moana 2 (2024) is making waves—pun intended—with Chen’s touch bringing back that wild sense of adventure and heart everyone remembers from the first. Moana’s not just singing and sailing this time; she’s wrestling with what it means to be a leader, and honestly, the animation just pops off the screen. You can almost smell the ocean spray. But Chen’s no one-trick pony. Flip back a few years, and you’ll spot her in the credits for Encanto (2021). That film? Straight-up cultural phenomenon. The way she handled the Madrigal family drama—layers on layers of family secrets, magical realism, and a soundtrack that basically invaded everyone’s playlist for months. Chen’s work helped make the characters feel real, messy, and lovable. Mirabel’s journey is still tugging at heartstrings, and you just know there’s a bit of Chen’s soul in there. Oh, and don’t sleep on Iwájú (2024). This one’s a futuristic, Lagos-inspired romp with bold visuals and storytelling that swerves away from the usual formula. Chen’s not afraid to take risks, tossing in tech, tradition, and some humor that just lands. Every project she touches? It gets a little more color, a little more soul. Not bad, right?
