I'd like to add some things I noticed while rewatching the movie: 1. Just before the "We Know The Way" scene, when Moana finds the ships behind the waterfall, you can see the sail design on the biggest "mothership." It has a big ship followed by smaller ships, leaving a smaller island to head to a bigger island, representing their journey. In the cave, the boats had reached the island. During the song "We Know The Way," you can see the same boat, but with the sail design a little different. The boats had left the first island, but had not reached the second. They were halfway through their journey. 2. When Moana's grandmother was dying, the last thing she said was "Go." As she said this, the camera panned up to the tapestry behind her, where Maui can be seen. But just below him, right above the grandmother's head, is a stingray, the very sea creature that she came back as.
@@stupidratt the grandmother said that she’d “come back” as a stingray, cuz it was a spirit animal-type thing of hers, and she later did in the movie. i was pointing out that there was a stingray on the Maui tapestry that was above the grandmother’s deathbed, showing a connection.
my Fathers mother is maori and my father upon visiting new zealand for a trip when i was little, got us all jadestone necklaces, i'm the only one who still has/hasn't broken their one and mine is the koru which i've always known as "a new beginning" and i had done extensive research into the maori tribes and polynesian history of New Zealand a few years ago, it's all so mysterious and i loved being able to pick up on some of these details in moana
Thanks for including Tagalog Mythology, I always wonder if they had the grandmother's name "Tala" to one of our Mythology Goddesses. Which now prove I'm right.. I love Grandma Tala, she's one of the best characters in Moana, she guided Moana even when she was gone... People called her the crazy old lady, But I think there's a reason as to why she influenced Moana to go beyond the rift and let Moana knew about the past of Motunui, which was that they were Voyagers. Aside from Moana, it's possible that grandma Tala was also the other chosen one to put back the heart of Tefiti, just think about it, she knew about the stone (heart of Tefiti) way before Moana was chosen, which other old people in the village believed was just a myth, she insisted it's real, she saw when the ocean chose Moana, she kept the stone which if Moana really is the chosen one, would the Ocean let Grandma have the stone if they only choose Moana as the keeper? I think the Ocean also chose Grandma Tala to be Moana's Guide considering her name was Tala, it's fitting coz Voyagers used Stars for direction when sailing at night, and what's the job of Grandma Tala? yes, she guided Moana through her journey...
The reason you get tattoos of pigs and roosters on your feet to keep from drowning is because they are the favorite animal of one of Poseidon's daughters she will see them kicking below the surface and raise you up to walk on the water
Also, Hei hei literally means Chicken in Maori, although I'm not sure whether Maori culture was included in the inspiration for Moana, but they obviously used many Pacific cultures and backgrounds. Oh also, just here to say, Maori is pronounced Mah-oh-ri, not May-ore-ee. Of course, in New Zealand, people have heaps of different pronounciations, but definitely not one as strange as that. Ok also, Tagalog isn't emphasized ta-GA-log, it's usually said like TA-ga-log, from what I've heard.
Maui is from Hawaiian Lore. His hook is from Maori Lore. The basic movie reference is Hawaiian history, in 1974 a white dude went to the Melanesian Islands to learn how to sail the old way and re-taught the Hawaiians. It's now called Hokulea run by University of Hawaii......having said this, her Dad can't be named Tui unless he is Samoan, Tongan, etc. The Hawaiians do not have a T in their language..........Tafiti is the Islad misses from Tahitian Lore. Just wish each culture got notice instead of just saying Polynesian.
When you can see flounder there’s another Easter egg in another animal The hammerhead shark from finding nemo but I forgot his name And the bird with the hook looks like a shark to me because it has an eye hole and the bottom feathers come up for the mouth And Māori isn’t pronounced may ori it’s pronounced mowldy like moldy but with an ow instead o
It’s hard to explain how to say it but in maori all the vowels are different, A is pronounced Ah, E is Eh, I is ee, O is like OR but without the R, and U is oo. Also you roll your Rs.
Does this scene in Moana remind you of something? Near the end of the movie, after Moana notices the spiral on Te Kā's chest, the ocean parts itself for them both to come to each other. Looks very similar to the Crossing of the Red Sea, a Biblical story where God parted the sea for Moses and the Israelites to cross. Now that's Theology!
Don Hall lived in my garage while going to CalArts. When he graduated he came to my mother and I for advice on what to do. He had offers from multiple studios and after a few nights of chats he finally made a choice. He was a cool guy with an eye for whats "Between the Lines".
when moana dad is singing where you are it voice by Christopher Jackson who has done a ton of theatre shows with Lin Manuel Miranda who was in Hamilton and Lin also sang the song we know the way
Tui named her "Ocean" and is surprised when Moana is determined to sail out on a boat.
Shhhh… lets leave logic out of this 🤫
@@marcussythemonkeyman Wait there was logic?
Maybe it was Moana's mother that named her. Or strongly suggested the name.
She went on to name her pets pig and chicken, so like father like daughter?
like naming your kid loquacia and wondering why he didn't turn out so well

"grandmother's head, is a stingray, the very sea creature that she came back as."
I remember nothing about a stingray being someones grandmother-
@@stupidratt sounds like an excuse to rewatch this masterpiece
considering the grandmother kept saying how she'd be watching over moana as a stingray because it was her spirit animal or something?
@@phoebusapollo8365 no, i dont even like the movie-
it feels like the story moved too fast.

I love the nods for Polynesian culture especially her dad named tui
i live in new zealand which is cool :)
Bruh
dude....
its not jade
that's a "paunamu"
@@doodluart526 the necklace i have is made from Jadestone
There is an other Easter egg in Moana if you look on the front of her boat when she found it there is that turtle frome the beginning
I love how Moana's mother doesn't play Moana's mother

the tapestry in the beginning actually might be Hydros the Lurker, one of the titans in Disney's hercules and not Marshmellow from Frozen
10:02 I think the picture on the front of the boat is meant to look like squirt from finding Nemo
This guy sounds a lot like the Infographics Show narrator
I think he IS the infographics show narrator
@@Romski027 well, he is
@RUclips Commenter no it’s a real person
He IS the infographics show🤣
@@Pengu1ns77 Literally both are the same
Expected: One of those shorts that show an Easter egg or something not that much people know

Meanwhile when Disney workin on Raya and The Last Dragon: Just put East Asians in the cast, they're Asians anyways.

"Hey guys I watched a disney movie called Moana. Its pretty cool"
Italian guy: Whats that?
transformers prime cliffjumper is reincarnated into maui
Uhhhh… what?…
I watched that show and I am pretty sure that’s not what happened
@@JohnCena37616 it's a joke
F
The kakamora scene is a nod to the drummers from mad max fury road
Ok, no don’t be bringing up mad max to a Disney film
If you wanna know something funny about Maui is the way he died
My mans sounds the same as Infographics show 🤣
There was a study where they took chickens from all the Polynesian islands and it showed all the chickens originated from the Philippines
Bruh
At the end credits you can see that the crab mentions the little mermaid crab and you can see wreck it Ralph
We all knew aulii mom played the role cause down here in Hawaii my cousin is good friends with aulii cousin
LMAO THE WAY HE SAID Maori XDDD you need to roll the r
8:33 Yes Schafrillas!
That chicken was comically stupid 😂
This clickbait thumbnail making us think it's shorts is driving me mad a bit.
Wreck It Ralph is also at the end of the ending credits too!
The water hmm 🤔 is Moana water bending without knowing?
my god
my man says May-o-ri....
damn...... that hurt a bit

When you can see flounder there’s another Easter egg in another animal
The hammerhead shark from finding nemo but I forgot his name
And the bird with the hook looks like a shark to me because it has an eye hole and the bottom feathers come up for the mouth
And Māori isn’t pronounced may ori it’s pronounced mowldy like moldy but with an ow instead o
The shark's name is Bruce, the one who refuses to eat fish! Also Māori is pronounced Mow-ri I think.
It’s hard to explain how to say it but in maori all the vowels are different, A is pronounced Ah, E is Eh, I is ee, O is like OR but without the R, and U is oo. Also you roll your Rs.
@@MisterMuffinut Yeah that’s what I’m getting at with Māori but it’s hard to explain and you like roll your rs so it sounds like a d
@@MisterMuffinut no Bruce is the great white I’m talking about the hammerhead anchor
@@themanwhowouldbebrick again that’s what I’m getting at the rolling of the rs sort of sounds like a d sound
5:18
Bruce, Anchor and Chum from the movie 'FInding Nemo'. Another great Easter egg!

When tomatoa🦀was singing🎤his song🎵he said the line "a diamond💎in the rough"
This was actually fucking cool, especially since Moana is one of my favorite movies :D
Truthfully if the long pause was caused by some sort of magical or supernatural reason scientists will never admit it
Maui is sven confirmed
5:04
just realized the faces in the background are moving/singing
Also in the scene with the snow monster there is mike and sully from monsters inc
I love Hei Hei

The way American's say Maori is really funny
Wooow!!! SOOOOoooooOOooo many references! Oh look it's the thing from that other thing! wow!
what about the 'Wreck it Ralph' picture easter egg from the end credits? It's very hard to miss
Bruh
8:36 Tala in Tagalog means Star (Philippines)
Polineasia ancestors came from philippines
Why dont they tell us in the movie
Really love your videos ❤️
They got the idea for her island from Lego’s Bionicle
The Lego Bionicle names are literally based off of polynesian names, phrases or titles.
Exactly right, bionicle had it from the beginning not Disney
Nit even a minute in and I get an advert what the hell
LOL thats the most weirdest way ive ever heard someone say maori
Fax
Yep, Tala is stars in Filipino and also a name of a goddess.
Disney is the king and the queen of loving itself
Bruh
The baby Moana is the same model as the scared little girl in a car from Ralph breaks the internet
Very perspective of you bruh
Yes IM SURE EVERYONE SAW MAUI TURN INTO SVEN
Nope never even saw the movie 🍿
You forgot the big behind the scenes fact about Moana: it started as an adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Mort.
Maui is all so is kind of a god in new Zealand
In begium it's also calked vaiana
actually the sting ray a sad eater to steve Erin.
nah we good. I missed the intire film despite being at the premiere...
Movie Logic what happened??? We stopped getting videos from you. Does anyone know why?
In France we had Vaiana and not moana
and yet European Disney movies don't have to be filled up with European voice actors
I love how this man says Maori its amazing lol
That spiral also represents mankind for at least one trribe.
I feel like I heard this voice somewhere 🤔
You forgot about Wreck-it Ralph on a rug in the end credits
At 9.39, there are five men working with sticks against the ground. Sortof look like the icebreakers from Frozen, doesn't it?
Am I the only one that's triggered of how he pronounced "maori" like may-or-ree
This narrator literally pronounced "Maori" in a way I've never heard it butchered before xD
yep
there's a star next to one of the babies name I do wonder what that means
5:47
yes
8:58 rather than Frozen, I think Hercules fit's the reference better (Titian).
i catch all them but sept for 4 thx so much byeeeeeeee
When the life comes back to the island there is a glimpse of the golden flower from tangled

So cool
One of the other Kakamora looks like Stitch, I’m surprised he didn’t mention that one.

I love being Samoan
Maōri is pronounced Mauw-ree, not May-Or-ee
you pronounced Maori incorrectly
Your clips are soooo much better than 'ms.m...whatever'...👍

I saw Sven
