Not only does it cover real pacific islander mythology, it's based on the real world thousand year period where anthropological evidence suggests they completely stopped voyaging. They were voyagers, stopped for a full millennium, then began voyaging again with nobody knowing why.
The hardest part I have with that theory is that my people preserved the knowledge and tech for something they didnt even do for 1000 years, then just immediately jumped back in. I find it far more reasonable that wide spread voyaging stopped. But there was still ocean journeys from time to time.
@@heysulfuric2372 That is not at all unbelievable. Traditions and practices were still taught and learned for generations without putting them to practical use all over the world. It is not a stretch that they kept up tradition for their local island or islands and as such, were able to get back to deep sea voyage easily.
Fun fact: Auli'i Cravalho (the voice of Moana) was like 15 or 16 during the recording of the movie, which is crazy to think about considering how well she sang
I’m glad they casted someone the same age as the character. It feels more authentic. And I think that’s cool to do that as long as they are safe and taken care of. She’s so talented. I didn’t like the Mean Girls remake overall but she did well in that too.
When I watched Moana the first time, it felt like I was watching one of the Disney films from the Renaissance era(like Hercules and The Little Mermaid), with its fun and epic story, musical numbers, wonderful animation, and great characters. Still one of the finest animated films I’ve seen!
@neopagn2004 I think at that point Encanto is fine but a bit tired of the same plucky adorkable FMC. You could lineup Disney's recent characters describing only their personality and not how they look or what they do, and would be difficult to tell which is which.

39:30 I always interpreted it as the ocean chose her first, and then respected her descision to give up being the chosen one. So her recovering the heart again after she dropped it is her choosing to be the one to restore the heart.
That I also believe though I wonder if the ocean respected her choice as it would have known she would come around after her grandma came back to comfort and guide her? I mean she was chosen and a entity that powerful wouldn’t likely make a mistake like that. It does show the respect aspect which is a great lesson to anyone watching though

@@12pagani I think you can view it that way, and that it's not necessarily wrong, but I feel as though the ocean would have respected her choice and let her go home if that is what she chose.
Part of the Maui legends is that 90% of his successes would have been failures if not for the last minute assistance from his two big brothers, so my fan-theory is that Heihei and the Ocean are actually Demigod shapeshifters as well, helping Maui on his quest.
22:58 Theres many different stories of Maui from each island, in New Zealand we believed that he pulled an island(top part of New Zealand) out of the sea and the bottom part was his boat. And another story how he slowed down the sun because it kept going past fast. Im not really sure if these stories are similar to other islands but we all see him as a Demi God‼️
@@LiMe251 I have heard Maui is one of the Kupua, but I think thats only in Hawaii im not really sure😭 I’m still learning about my own history and others
I wanna say I remember when Moana came out it got so much praise bc it was one of the first Disney movies where the animation just looked so clear and lifelike. I can’t believe the 10 year anniversary is almost here. 😭
Moana is likely a Demi-human, likely a descendant of Maui, how else would she survive being in the underworld where mortals aren't supposed to survive the atmosphere let alone the monsters. Her mood influenced the Heart as it was flickering and dimming as she was questioning herself before her grandmothers spirit returned. Likely each chief was a descendant but enough dormant traits awakened allowing communication with the Water Spirit.
I love when Grandma shows up in spirit form when Moana is at her lowest, she doesnt give the usual Disney style pep-talk of Moana needing to keep going and she cant give up or the islands will continue to deteriorate. No, she tells Moana thats it okay if she cant keep going, that its okay if she decides to just go home and that she'll be with her the whole time. Giving Moana both the freedom to make her own choice and the comfort she needed to hear after Maui abandoning her. Its a refreshing change.
When my little sister was born, my dad had this movie in the background so when she cried or needed to take a map or something it was always Moana and Tangled EVERYDAY
the Polynesian Mythos in this movie is way more accurate than that dumpster fire Hercules was. (yes I'm salty they fucked up Greek Myth so badly. Hades deserved better!) Ofc you cant have the Mythos be 100% but Moana does it right.
35:17: "That's a big eagle" There used to be a massive eagle here in NZ that preyed on moa (a giant, extinct, flightless bird), it was one of the largest raptors to ever have existed, with a wingspan of around 2 or 3 meters. Check out the Haast's Eagle (and the moa) for some excellent extinct wildlife lore :) Maui is, I assume, taking the form of one of those here. It still existed when the first humans arrived in Aotearoa, but the loss of its main prey (the moa, which were hunted to extinction as a rich and abundant food source, providing meat, feathers, skin, and eggs, with no real defence aside from their size against the new human threat. They were a walking buffet until they... weren't) and destruction of large areas of habitat, led to it's extinction by the mid 1400s. It was one of the few birds to ever be an apex predator, larger than the largest raptors alive now, and it must have been chilling to feel its shadow pass overhead, even though they couldn't have lifted an adult. (Unasked-for natural history dump) I love this movie for so many reasons But mostly it's just beautiful, and the moment when people realise where the spiral is, where the heart was taken from, gets me every time, because of course, without the heart, there's only rage and fire, but until then it's never obvious, it catches everyone (and caught me the first time) off guard, and I just love seeing that moment of understanding. Great reaction!
Interesting reason that HeiHei eats rocks is because real chickens do that. They swallow small stones and pebbles to work as a grinder to digest their food. HeiHei is just the throat GOAT and goes for the big rocks.
Disney took inspiration from multiple different versions of Maui across Polynesian. For example, killing the eel that supported the coconuts is from the Hawaiian legend. Meanwhile, the pulling up islands parts is, I believe, from the Samoan or Fijian legend.
Super sad and unfortunate fact the song that is played at the beginning of the movie while Toddler Moana is interacting with the Ocean that song has a very tragic true story behind and if you Google the song's name which is An Innocent Warrior you can find the story oh yeah and here's some fun Moana fun facts the scene where Toddler Moana is protecting the Baby sea Turtle from the Birds with the giant leaf that's a Lilo And Stitch reference and that same Baby Turtle and the adult one that Moana seen were both references to Finding Nemo and Finding Dory
Moana became my favorite Disney Princess really quickly, and she my introduction to Auli'i Cravalho's performance. Praying to God the sequel does not disappoint...
Seeing how much you guys liked this, I kinda wanna see you watch "Wish" now. That and seeing Boom lip syncing to himself makes me want to see them do some karaoke. XD
I absolutly love Moana, it's one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. The great thing about the scene where Moana is alone on the sea and grandma comes to her. Grandma never says "but you are the chossen one" or "you have to go, if you like it or not". She says "It's not your fault. I never should put so much on your shoulders, if you are ready to go home, I will be with you" and that is so beautiful!
Sooo... All I'm going to say is if you decide to look up the real life mythology behind Maui, be prepared for it to be much darker than the Disney. Then again that tends to be most Disney movies based on other stories. XD
@@Sci_pher”I killed an Eel and buried its guts, sprouted a tree and got coconuts! What is the lesson and what is the takeaway? Don’t mess with Maui when he’s on a breakway!”
Watched this movie so many times it's not even funny. I can't hear someone say thank you or you're welcome without that song popping into my head. Te Fiti in both forms looks great and the ocean and the chicken were very entertaining. My heart broke when her grandma died
Disney were cool enough to do a dub of this movie (and some other movies like Frozen and The Lion King) in Te Reo Māori, the native language of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Those versions of the songs are so beautiful even if you don't understand them.
In “we know the way” it shows the first time they went to the island, but earlier we saw like ten stones representing ten chiefs which is like 10 lifetimes, the woman in the song was most certainly NOT grandma 💀
32:10 There’s a single shot frame while Maui is on the crab’s back where u can see Aladdin’s Lamp. Makes sense now why 10,000 years later Genie says “Hey, you’re a lot shorter than my last master…either that or I’m getting bigger” Look down to the left, resting on a giant pearl is the magic lamp. Just below whatever is sticking up off the crab on the left side.
The chief is voiced by Temuera Morrison, who played a _small_ role in Star Wars as... Jango Fett, all the clone troopers, and the re-dubbed voice of Boba Fett in the OT.
As someone who grew up in new Zealand, I've known the story of maui lassoing the sun since I was a child. Lol when I was 8 I did an "unassisted writing retell" where you write a story in your own words. It ended up in my learning portfolio.
Not only was that the reindeer from Frozen, but earlier in the movie when she's loading the boat, you see a carrot and two sticks... and maybe two stones, I would have double check that bit.
Just a couple of things to say. Boom, that combover looks pretty good on you. 👌 This movie was going head to head with Zootopia by being released in that exact same year and as you can imagine, it was the winner of the Oscars while Moana was a nominee. Still, it’s a true honor to have your name being immortalized in a once-in-a-lifetime experience in entertainment history. Everything from this is astounding. The fact that they took the Pixar route by making this film accurate as possible to the Polynesian culture down to the minute detail is extraordinary. Even the hair as Eric mentioned was created to be soft, smooth and silky because to the Pacific Islander people, it represents their spiritual connection to the land and the sea with their hair flowing like the wind itself. It also fascinating that yes, Dwayne Johnson has come a long way from being a WWE champion to being one the most celebrated actors in Hollywood. Since he’s Samoan, it was pretty fitting that he was cast in this project. The soundtrack that Boom mentioned is very good and uplifting, especially in that sequence where Maui was relearning his abilities from his hook and, with the songs written by Lin Manuel-Miranda, it made all the difference. On a side note, about turning into a bird would be exhilarating. So much so that if I could choose which form to take, it would be an osprey since it is a pescatarian that fishes all bodies of water, fresh and salt. I also would like to be a barn owl because that owl in particular has always captivated me, primarily for their glamorous appearance. I’d be happy either way. Watching those scenes with Moana’s grandmother reminds me of the time when I also lost mine; due to cerebral stroke. Hard to believe that today marks 3 1/2 years since that happened. No matter where I am in the world, she’s never far away because I have my heart and soul to carry the memories of her every day. I’ll see her again, in the next life. I believe that. 🥲
When it comes to the hair, pretty sure it was for Tangled that they came up with a new way to animate it given that hair is such a big focus of that movie. From Tangled onward, great animated hair is consistent in Disney 🤣
It's amazing watching this knowing it wasn't released not that long ago. And just going "Wow. Disney used to care not that long ago". That's over with now
Maui is a big figure in Polynesian myth he’s basically what if you mix Loki and Heracles into one character, can be referred to as the trickster, the fishermen and the Demi god(even tho technically he’s the child of two gods in some versions). I went into this movie knowing the actual myths and props on them finding a way to PG-fy them cause no way you can do story 1-1 in a pg setting. “Lassoed the sun” that’s only half the truth, In the myth the sun ran so fast across the sky that barely any day work could be done so Maui had the casual idea of ‘what if we wait for the sun to wake up…AND THEN WE JUMP HIM AND CRIPPLE HIS ASS SO HE HAS TO MOVE SLOW!’💀
I love Moana's development, but Maui's personal growth was amazing. From being such a vain, self-absorbed, borderline narcissistic demigod to becoming a kind-hearted and loving friend and mentor is awesome, plus hearing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sing is pretty damn badass. I love how they cast Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls) as Moana's mother.

Not only was that the reindeer from Frozen, but earlier in the movie when she's loading the boat, you see a carrot and two sticks... and maybe two stones, I would have double check that bit.
Just a couple of things to say. Boom, that combover looks pretty good on you. 👌
This movie was going head to head with Zootopia by being released in that exact same year and as you can imagine, it was the winner of the Oscars while Moana was a nominee. Still, it’s a true honor to have your name being immortalized in a once-in-a-lifetime experience in entertainment history.
Everything from this is astounding. The fact that they took the Pixar route by making this film accurate as possible to the Polynesian culture down to the minute detail is extraordinary. Even the hair as Eric mentioned was created to be soft, smooth and silky because to the Pacific Islander people, it represents their spiritual connection to the land and the sea with their hair flowing like the wind itself. It also fascinating that yes, Dwayne Johnson has come a long way from being a WWE champion to being one the most celebrated actors in Hollywood. Since he’s Samoan, it was pretty fitting that he was cast in this project. The soundtrack that Boom mentioned is very good and uplifting, especially in that sequence where Maui was relearning his abilities from his hook and, with the songs written by Lin Manuel-Miranda, it made all the difference.
On a side note, about turning into a bird would be exhilarating. So much so that if I could choose which form to take, it would be an osprey since it is a pescatarian that fishes all bodies of water, fresh and salt. I also would like to be a barn owl because that owl in particular has always captivated me, primarily for their glamorous appearance. I’d be happy either way. Watching those scenes with Moana’s grandmother reminds me of the time when I also lost mine; due to cerebral stroke. Hard to believe that today marks 3 1/2 years since that happened. No matter where I am in the world, she’s never far away because I have my heart and soul to carry the memories of her every day. I’ll see her again, in the next life. I believe that. 🥲
This is gonna be awesome, Moana is my favourite movie from Disney 🌊☀️
35:25 - My favorite part of this Movie. Even the Ocean was tired of Hei Hei! (lol)
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: Due to branding issues, Moana was changed to Viana overseas in Europe
When it comes to the hair, pretty sure it was for Tangled that they came up with a new way to animate it given that hair is such a big focus of that movie. From Tangled onward, great animated hair is consistent in Disney 🤣
42:18 Boom: "I'm just saying; Would."
I mean, better Te Fiti than Hine-nui-te-pō, am I right?
Its definitely my favorite disney film of the modern era.
Yall gotta be my favourite reaction channel rn! I hope you do more Disney movies :)
It's amazing watching this knowing it wasn't released not that long ago. And just going "Wow. Disney used to care not that long ago". That's over with now
I’m Hawaiian. That’s it.
The word "tattoo" comes from the tap-tap-tap rhythm of those tools while they pierce skin.
44:21 hei hei：i want to be with you
ocean：nah get out
Maui is a big figure in Polynesian myth he’s basically what if you mix Loki and Heracles into one character, can be referred to as the trickster, the fishermen and the Demi god(even tho technically he’s the child of two gods in some versions). I went into this movie knowing the actual myths and props on them finding a way to PG-fy them cause no way you can do story 1-1 in a pg setting. “Lassoed the sun” that’s only half the truth, In the myth the sun ran so fast across the sky that barely any day work could be done so Maui had the casual idea of ‘what if we wait for the sun to wake up…AND THEN WE JUMP HIM AND CRIPPLE HIS ASS SO HE HAS TO MOVE SLOW!’💀
The chicken is no thoughts just vibes 😂
Fun fact, the turtle that Moana saved was the turtle crush from finding Nemo when he was a little kid because all Pixar movies are connected
I remain adamant that a big orchestral version of "How Far I'll Go" should be played for the launch of Earth's first interstellar vessel.
(At 22:40) At least now I know where "Deadpool" stole this song from.
I love Moana's development, but Maui's personal growth was amazing. From being such a vain, self-absorbed, borderline narcissistic demigod to becoming a kind-hearted and loving friend and mentor is awesome, plus hearing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sing is pretty damn badass. I love how they cast Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls) as Moana's mother.
I'm ready to laugh and cry with the boys when I get home in about 2 hours. 💜 Believe me, there will be tears. 😢
What a duo to react to this they're gonna love it! YOU'RE WELCOME!
40:26: HA! XD
This movie is in my top 5 Disney since I watched it in Theatures for the first time.
Its just a good feel good movie.
Moana is the best "strong independent women" Disney has every written, AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Hope ruff is okay
Just an FYI. When they first marketed this they made a roughly life-sized toy Hei-Hei that recreates the screaming scene.
