- The REAL Reason Maui Was Thrown Into The Sea...| Moana Backstory
Maui’s backstory in Moana may have been briefly glossed over, but it still proved to be one of the more tragic moments throughout the entire movie. It turns out that Moana’s telling of Maui’s origin was pretty accurate when compared to the Maori myth that the character was based on. And thanks to that myth it was easy to learn more about the circumstances around Maui’s tragic birth and why his origin story was one of the darkest in Disney's history even though he made it sound impressive in the film.
In today's video we look at The REAL Reason Maui Was Thrown Into The Sea...Keep watching to see this Moana backstory of Maui, and where Maui came from. Including who Maui's really parents were, why Maui was thrown into the sea in the first place, and how Maui became the demigod we all know him to be today!

It sounds like his story tells an age old truth
You can do a thousand good deeds but you'll always only be remembered for your one failure
Moana doesn't portray Maui realistically. I am from NZ and Maui is part of our history. He was actually a real historical figure and one of our ancestors.. look up stories on Maui.. this movie says nothing about his life. Only the beginning.. they don't even tell his ending. Anyone who hasn't looked into him and is not of pacific nationality won't know that Maui has 3 brothers. Ones the were extremely jealous of him. He had a mother that was afraid of him.. Maui isn't called The Trickter for nothing. He was actually very arrogant, prideful and overtime he became very angry. Just like any person he had trauma and in his adult life, that effected him and his choices and they way he conducted himself with himself and those around him...
Fun fact..
He killed his brothers and took their wives as his own against their will.
Another fun fact. Before he died he believed himself so special and apart from the rest of his tribe, he thought he could cheat death. He was wrong
I just realized that Maui's origin story of being thrown in the ocean as a child is tattooed on his back... it's a literal 'backstory'!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice to know when you realize it cuz I took me a second I was oh 💯🤔
Ba dum tis
Its a good reason for him not to trust the Ocean
Wow you figure it out is not like everyone know alread dingus
I think that Maui's mythology is very interesting. I love to learn the backstories of characters.
In mythology he kills viana and dies by the goddes of death in one islands mythology
Here in NZ we have stories based on Maui. Look for Peter Gossage. One of our most popular authors. His books are read to our children in school.
@@delanovanraalte3646 yep in nz one story is, he died between the legs of the goddess of death & it was the fantail who got him busted
@@hagoromootsutsuki2619 which was his brothers in the tale i heard
It's interesting that she wrapped him up in her top knot, in most cultures cutting that off is some sort of symbol of defeat
Native culture our hair is spiritual cutting it is forbidden. I'm yaqui and I was going through Homeland in Arizona and happened to go though dinè also known as Navajo land and a girl had very long hair. She said that she cut it once and her family was upset with her. I don't know how it works with pacific Islanders but I assume it is the same 🤔
@@aurorafarris1100 I thought in Native culture a woman cuts her hair off to show she is grieving the death of her spouse?
Do you know about the military experiments with scouts and hair length?
@@laurfincher8137 Yes in some tribes that's the only time you cut it any form of grief. But it's disrespectful to cut hair.
Many Asian cultures say that cutting your hair is a a way to grieve a loved one or someone important when they pass.
@@aurorafarris1100 I had asked you if you heard about the study/test they did with scouts long ago. Natives with long hair did a great job at tracking but after the hair was cut... they did so-so.
Fun fact: Maui is said to have been an actual person in history, he was a voyager that lead people through the Pacific and Indian Oceans stopping at most of the land mark in those areas, the journey he took was said to have taken long then a normal humans life span, hence the reason he was called a demigod.
Im frm nz, my tribe was called Te Hapuoneone appearntly they came after him also some say they were both around at the same time
@@hagoromootsutsuki2619 chur! I'm Ngati Porou and we have stories of our ancestor too. Our version is he took all the children and teenagers from Hawakii and brought them on the Waka to these shores where he used them to settle. By that time they were all grown adults and ready for mating
@@user-Brogz sus
@@darrellbeets7758 actual though aye kuz! Maui is romanticized hardout.. realistically, his story is much darker then what they tell our children
And why one of the Hawiian islands is named for him!
Hope there will be a prequel movie about him
Funfact, Maui’s hook was crafted from a Megalodon tooth
I thought it was crafted from his grandmothers jaw?
Both of these theories are so awesome 💯🙌🏻
What if his Grandmother passed away and her spirit was a Megalodon? (Like how Moana’s G-ma was a Manta Ray)
Edit: that would also explain why he has a Huge Shark form 🧐
@@cjlane5677 I think it is in the actual maori stories outside of Disney
@@k7l3rworkman97 he's a shapeshifter, changing into a shark means nothing
Lolz just making up facts
It's nice to see the same God depicted in different variations of the story across the Polynesian islands. As a Hawaiian, we had a slightly different story but the basic points were there.
building on that the north and the south islands of NZ hear slightly different stories as well. I remember being very shocked when finding out how different the Hawaiian stories are.
(I grew up in Maori culture because my dad is very tribal)
I just want a story about one of the demo's turning hei hei into a chicken and how he gets turned back. Because we need more Alan Tudyk, and that sounds like something that would happen to his character.
Hey
Well, it's no surprise that things be different. IT is the way Disney writes. All they do is get the basics of stories or legends and write their own off that. Most all movies they've done were done so in that way. It's what caused big uproars in the Disney crews before he passed away and even after so much that many Artists and Writers leave Disney due to how much they don't like that they change stories. Is this bad practice? It's matter of opinion. I don't think it is cause it makes for more creative worlds, but that's my opinion.
That is exactly how Disney works, they intentionally snub the dark backstories of characters like in Hercules for instance.
it's a coin toss of if it's a terrible decision, disney is only really interested in making "family friendly" movies and most of the sources these particular films pull from are hardly close to that
I think I liked the Disney better, in the sense that their movies seem to encourage getting to know more about others, not just go off some superficial thing, like in Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Moana. The old stories remind us of where we failed to come together as one, and the new ones why* it is important to remember the strengths we have when we come together.
Old myths were made not off the creativity, they are basic archetypes, building the culture. Playing with them is like crushing the culture. Do you think Disney can take that responsibility?
I thought maoi was crushed by hine not cut in half. She crushed him with obsidian teeth because his bird friend the fantail warned her while he was a worm.
He made it less graphic, or at least, more family friendly.
Must have been toned down here in the video
He's a Demigod
He healed,survived & flew back Up
Maui just needed a tru friend like Gabriel to Zena and eolus to Hercules someone he could trust and walk thru life with as a honest tru friend !! Someone who has his back in all of his trials and tribulations
My middle school is doing Moana for the Spring Musical, so I figured to watch this for the sake of this.
It's pretty annoying when a youtuber keeps shadowing the video. Can you get to it already man we've already liked. The long waiting time and the repetitions are why I haven't subscribed tho I watch your videos
Wait so if he was the first to die what were they doin before? Did they live forever? What was the point of trying to get immortality
I’m Māori and he’s got it a bit mixed up from other legends from similar cultures like Hawaiians. So basically maui’s parents were one of the first humans to be made from the god tumatauenga so a human hadnt died at this point in history and after having 5 children who were healthy and fine, Maui was born premature and his parents were unhappy with this outcome and wanted strong children only to carry on the legacy.
(So they weren’t immortal)
They wrapped him up in her hair to make sure he wouldn’t be able to somehow swim(it’s actually much darker then this)
Maui then dies but the other gods saw good and potential in him and felt sorry for what had happened that they granted him the powers of a demigod.
He then goes home after being looked after by the gods/uncle and is very cheeky so he showed off how strong he is now to his family and rubbed it in 🤣 it’s much funnier when you grow up reading and learning about him through your whole life.
-some people have different recollections of his history due to them being myths and legends changed through out time and cultures.
@@rainvictorious1857 didn't that make them all demi God's at this point since they are descendants of God's and the God's who save him was his uncle possibly his mother siblings or her parents siblings
@@yaboysjdiorno, the gods just made the humans, they aren’t really descendants. They are just creations that’s the gods made. Gods = creators , humans = creations
His back story lol
I was just thinking the same thing!
I thought that was hilarious the first time I saw the movie
Hi, this is such a trip down memory lane for me. We learnt all this in school but I'd forgotten so much of it! Thank you for refreshing my memory. I need to say tho that what ever you used to translate is bad, the letter L is not present in the Maori language and no other letters are pronounced with an L sound. The letter R has a very interesting pronunciation tho, you got to roll it, let your tongue go nuts and roll it. But its still definitely an R.
Awesome video, I might go and see if I can hunt down my old Book of legends, you've given me a taste for nostalgia :)
i can agree a bit, that he deserves to be hated, because in some forclores imortality as been regarded as a curse
Interesting 🤔
Thank you for this video! 😀🌸
Disney owns marvel so they should do a marvel super hero movie about maui
I have a farfetched theory: that friend that Moana's dad had IS Maui.
Well I’ll be darned, this was really interesting tho🤯
Tamatoa the Crab
He was greedy and liked to cover himself with Riches and jewellery
Tumatauenga is the time of grandfather Mars, when the Earth renews herself. It happens every 12900 years. The last is known as the Younger Dryas. It's in progress again now.
Wait a minute...I just realised Maui transformed as sven from frozen in 6:15 🤯
Real classy not expanding on what was meant by through her body...and how she cut him in half.
Bru the thumbnail!!!😹
HE GOT CUT IN HALF! WHAT MY REACTION WENT FROM 😐👉😱
There was no death at the beginning, but he wanted to make people immortal ? I don't understand, how does that work ?
So the part he entered in through 😆 🤣 well I'll take a guess
It made me sad how selfishly humans blame him
He got the blood of proto-malay and the culture of people of the sea.
no , actually maui was born to a godess and human man that is what makes him a demigod
Teaky deaky b freaky deaky
Hi! Just hi!
Hi
I feel bad for Maui
You didn't tell us what the tragedy was that "sealed his fate"
Have no kiwis watched this guys video??
He can't say Maori correctly 😭 speak to anyone from NZ!!!
Doesn't matter like he does not care if he says it wrong, he still tells this story. (I ain't Maori, I'm
a niuean)
@@RainStreet7129 it really does matter to speak the language correctly. Ours is not like English, that can be butchered by others. Our language traces back to Our creator, the very essence is in the language. So yeah it actually does matter. And if he did his research properly he would know this
@@RainStreet7129 Niuean (/njuˈeɪən/; ko e vagahau Niuē) is a Polynesian language, belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian languages. It is most closely related to Tongan and slightly more distantly to other Polynesian languages such as Samoan, Hawaiian and Māori.
Disrespect and don't care about the pronunciation of your own language if you want but dont condone it with other peoples languages 👍
Maui he is megalodon his own family for the future of our place during the daytime hours his history
Very sad. Hope he makes it to good place.
He has many stories and one of my favorite was him taking fire from a fire goddess over and over.
They should have made a full on movie about Maui instead of Moana and using real myth non edited
🇧🇷🇧🇷 A pumpkin has a more REAL story.🇧🇷🇧🇷
Woah...
He battled a megalodon what
6Then God said: Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters, to separate one body of water from the other. 7God made the dome,* and it separated the water below the dome from the water above the dome. And so it happened. 8God called the dome “sky.”
So he wanet to make them immortal but they already where and so he made them mortal?
He looks like chrissy teigen
IM CRYING🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THE THUMBNAILHUBGGYGVJHBCGUIJN
No, all origins are dark
So, basically cancel culture existed in this world too. Maui made a mistake, with dire consequences, so everyone hated him.
Jeez, your set up is so wordy. Takes forever to get to the point.
he is like hercules
Super funny how you can’t pronounce Māori but a lot of the names you did pretty well 😂 but good try dude
no😐
its maori not mauli. there is no L in our lauguages its changed to an R and the r is rolled like spanish. we are not Hawaiians. we dont say aloha, we say aroha
Hawaiian Lore Seems More Of The Inspiration of Moana's Maui
No one going to talk about his mom having a beard? Lol
Thats a Face Tattoo Kiddo
American kids:
How maui really ended up in the sea......the white man went Hawaii and they wanted the lands for sugarcane plantation ..so they threw maui the guardian of the lands into the sea and annex Hawaii into a state and part of the US.
🧢
I'm pretty sure the is 100percent incorrect lol, Maui was many many many years before the Great Migration of the Pacifc people that traveled from Hawaiiki.. Hawaii was the first island pur people settled on before continuing the Migration across the pacific and so named after our homeland.. the colonizers was many many years after
🗿
ive heard it wasnt her mouth he was crawling into....
Neither did they say it was her mouth... they said when he exited her mouth so what does that mean..??
Jesus is our savior ✝❤
U really need to work on your story telling skills

Based on and is.....are different things.... hes not the myth...

One thing I don't get about that story.
In the video it was mentioned that maui became the first being to ever die, but he was trying to gift humanity with immortality.
But if he was the first being to die, doesn't that mean that everything else was effectively immortal until that point anyway?
If no one had ever died until maui, but then after that humanity "remained mortal", and that somehow gave them shorter lives?
Lots of contradictions there.
Was thinking the same thing bro. It might be bad wording probably
they said that before maui was born there was no death in the world, he was born pre mature then thrown into the ocean, then later in life hes trying to get immortality back for the ppl. im not sure whats so hard to get about the story
@@soulsreaper7145 that means before Maui was born, everyone was immortal. So where did the concept of mortality come from?
Then, let's assume that they became mortal after Maui's birth. How did they verify? It wasn't explained in the video of how they knew they were mortal.
If there was no divine intervention, someone had to die to verify mortality, but that contradicts the statement from the video that states that "Maui was the first to die".
In short, the video never really explained how humanity became "mortal" because based on the topics tackled in the video, humanity was pretty much immortal prior to Maui's death. Or you could say their mortality was proven Maui died but that doesn't explain Maui's goal of "making humans immortal" unless his father or some divine entity said that humanity was mortal.
It feels like a classic mythology. It never makes sense but sounds interesting
There are different versions of different aspects of the story
He did what now to his ancestor that killed him?
At the beginning I looked at comment and went "..........what the f*ck"
Ether there to innocent or they didn’t listen o.O
He was crushed by the obsidian covered walls of her V****a.
I know what was being said, NightSong897, I am just baffled by the sheer ludicrousness.
Something known as "The Ant Man Maneuver"
The original legend goes like this. When he was born, he was so small that his mother thought he was dead. Devastated, she cut off her own hair, her topknot (tikitiki), and wrapped him in it. She set him down in the sea, in this craft of hair, and let him drift out into the ocean.
Maui's backstory is probably the darkest in Disney history up until his point...No other hero/sidekick/mentor character was forged in FAILED INFANTICIDE. In the movie it's heavily implied his parents were ordinary humans and he was granted demigod status by the gods themselves, AND there was no indication he reconciled with them.
Actually, Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame was also subjected to a failed infanticide, where Frollo tried to drop him down a well after killing his mother.
@@Niobesnuppa didn't know that.
If Maui was the first to die... why was he seeking immortality for himself and humans?
He didn't die
He was found by the Gods and raised by them
They told him His Mom and dad threw him in the sea
haha..... back story.... cause it's tattooed on his back. haha
💀
The real tragedy is the humans feelings that changed because of a single act that was not convenient for them
Jon Solo did you give permission?
i was wondering the same thing! You can see Gunther and Penny in the bottom left corner at 7:46 in the video
Aside from the butchering of Maori and Kereru pronunciations (the others weren't as bad and were at least recogniseable), not a bad cover on Maui's legends
ZOMBIE
how do you say maori? cause i have never heard it with an L in it like in the video
Anyone I’ve heard explain it says you pronounce it like “moldy”. Moh-ree. I have no clue where this guy gets “Mally” pronunciation from.
it's slightly bothering me that they're pronouncing "Maori" like "Maow-li" and "Kereru" like "Keh-leh-loo"
they're supposed to be pronounced "maow-ri" and "keh-reh-roo"
i'm from new zealand, i'm part maori and it's bothered me a lot as i was watching, also seems they were drawing the story from Maori mythos rather than the other Polynesian stories of Maui, he's not strictly to us new zealanders, there's the other islands where the story also originates, like with all myth and legends as groups move around to different places, those myths and legends said by word of mouth change over time, so everyone's stories are different but can have some cross over where it all connects to the same story
THANK YOU I WAS LIKE TF
As a kiwi it's hard to listen to the mispronouncing of the words as there is no L in the Moari language. i'd like to know his sources for the back story. ive never heard this legend. we have a few with Maui in it as an adult. even one that he fished up the north island and the south island is the canoe.
In maori traditions, maui was cast into the sea wrapped inside his mothers hair. Because he was a still born. Then the creatures of the sea raised him. Taught him how to be a fierce warrior. And later returned to the land to find his mother once again.
Wow just wow :(
Another fact here in Hawai'i Maui's mother is hina he was already born a demi god every island in the pacific ocean has a different story about Maui
I know a but from the Maori lore but still not much. I'm guessing your from the native polynesic race? How different are the legends of your Polynesian pacific peoples? I hope you don't mind me asking about your people's polytheistic Polynesian faiths.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 I'm from Hawaii but the Polynesian chain each have a different story about Maui
@@kalaicarreira2145 any particularly largely agreed upon myth?
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 he pulled up the islands is what we all agree upon
@@kalaicarreira2145 got it. Well. I don't worship maui myself but may your god bless you. If that's how your religion works
I believe the true story behind Frozen is much more darker than what was seen in the movie with dark witches and other evils.
That just a Theory These Were Myths
Interesting
Mele Kalikimaka is the Right way to say Merry Christmas to you.
Maui's backstory is literally on his back. Haha, get it?
The ancestor is actually the god of death aswell
This vid brought back alot of memories, your Māori research of mauis origin was spot on i would like to here Hawaii version
Maui can become Sven from Frozen?! 😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
Why does most Disney movies have sad or dark backstorys?
not to be that guy but i just wanna say that the images are John Solos channel
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson does a great job voicing him. :)
I think Melanie molinaro cute together 🍑🌸💞🌟🌟🌟
6:15 does that rain deer seem familiar
MOANA...One of the last great Disney Epics...before Disney started churning out woke trash like Lightyear and Strange World.😪
why most people always find a reason to ruin a good movie especially a kids movie
I mean the movie is based on the legends....they came first. Hence why they're legends.
Here in New Zealand we grew up on the legends of Maui way before Disney shared them with the world
