This has got to be one of my favourite Disney films now!! I just loved how healthy the way some of the characters treated each other were and how much heart is at the core of this story. Exactly what I hope for when I watch a Disney film. Enjoy :)

Fact: at first Hei Hei was to be strict and lecture Moana all the time, but the creators disliked this version and almost excluded the character from the movie... until he was transformed into provably the dumbest Disney character ever. And they celebrated it with a roast chicken (of course)
head cannon,HeiHei is a trickster spirit/god in disguise playing the idiot as he watches over Moana.
Just his age alone! He has been with her since she was a toddler. chickens not destined for the fryer have a lifespan of about 9 years.
Unpopular opinion…we really could’ve done without Hei Hei.
Pua was way cuter.
@@tariqthomas9090nah Hei Hei adds some seasoning to the comedy of the movie
@@tariqthomas9090 Nah. Without Hei Hei you don't get Alan Tudyk in a recording studio making ridiculous chicken noises and then reminding everyone he went to Juilliard.
My cousin's mom is now called hey hey cus that was what she could say at the time. Now all my little cousins run around calling her hey hey and I'm as pleased as punch cuz it's too cute and funny 😂
The funniest part about how good the rock does on "You're welcome" is that when he sang along to it at home, his daughter told him to be quiet because the guy in the movie sounded better xD
She still doesn’t believe that he’s Maui 😂 adorable
I really love that he’s being honest with how much they tuned his voice
We need to keep in mind that for a large production everyone gets basically the Fashionmagazin treatment.
Like with the difference between Albums/Singles and a live performance, the version that ends in the movie is doctored the hell and back. While he certainly is not a professional, I doubt anyone could match their performance in the film live 😂
There is Theory that Grandma Tala was being kept alive by Tefiti's heart since it has the power to create life itself. The moment she gave it away she got sick and died
That theory is accurate af 💀 I believe it
Ooooooo that's a great theory!!!! 👀
One of the coolest details about this movie is that it is inspired by a real (and so far unexplained) event: People from Polynesia had been sailing the ocean and populating Islands for a while and then they just... stopped. For about 2000 years, nothing (aproxm. 1500 Bc to 500 AD) And then they restarted. Voyaging began anew, strong as ever.
Is there a reason why they stopped?
@@pedroanillo9668 they said that so far it's unexplained why they stopped
@@pedroanillo9668 That's the Mystery, no one knows. So this movie offers a fictional explenation
It's not that no-one knows, its that we can never be certain. It was most likely simply natural climate shift, the transition from La Nina to sustained El Nino in the South Pacific rendering ancient ships useless. There are of course other theories relating to the culture shifts between isolated islands, lack of materials, e.t.c but the changing climate making it far more difficult for ancient peoples to navigate the ocean is the most likely explanation and there is some evidence to support this. @@saiyasha848
The ocean needed Moana to be the one to take the heart to Te Fiti because it wasn't about returning the heart to Te Fiti. It was about restoring the heart of Te Fiti. When Moana asks the ocean to let Te Fiti come to her, when she walks to Te Fiti unarmored and unarmed, she is telling Te Fiti that she trusts Te Fiti not 5o hurt her, that she knows Te Fiti is not a monster; that Te Fiti has had something terrible done to her, that she has been dediled and violated but that, beneath the rage and grief and pain, she is still a good being, that she is still Te Fiti.
how many times did he say Te Fiti
@@tugadosado Do you mean me? Yeah, it's a lot but I didn't want any confusion between Moana and Te Fiti in my comment.
moreso the ocean needed Moana to restore the heart because the ocean can't touch Te Ka nor Te Ka the ocean. It literally physically couldn't return and restore the heart
@@LuminousArc92 The ocean could leave the heart near Te Fiti.
@@tugadosadoLOOOOOL
Interesting fact: the real Maui from Polynesian folklore did do all those things Maui sings about in You Welcome, but he did it not for narcissistic reasons but because out of his many siblings he was the only one not born with godly powers and was thus excluded by his brothers from coming along on their fishing trips. So Maui did all those things to prove himself to his brothers and parents.
What I'm gathering from this is he did it to get validation from his family, instead of doing it to get validation from humankind, which is still the same issue Maui shows here. The narcissistic part is a defensive mechanism to cover his insecurities
43:18 "She was really angry, now she needs a good long nap" What a perfect way to summarize this movie 😂
Oh yeah. And Te Fiti is me on and off my period. That's accurate.
Fun (Important Inclusion) Fact: The movie is set in Polynesia and all the main cast voice actors have either Native Hawaiian, Polynesian, or Maori heritage.
Native Hawai’ian and Māori are Polynesian 😊
With the exception of Alan Tudyk, who voices Hei Hei. 😅
Actually, the story is more based on Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and hawaii. I don't think Maori heritage was never an inspiration
Oh god every time the grandma becomes the ray in the water it just slaps me with feels
My grandma had passed away the year before, so when I saw the lights in the hut go out, and the spirit go rushing into the ocean, I literally broke down crying in the theater, and was trying to stifling my sobbing. 😭
Every time!!
for real!!
@@HeatRaver I had a similar experience (my grandma had passed recently as well) except I was home when I washed it for the first time, thank God. lol. I was just so glad I wasn’t at the theater because I cried so hard. I absolutely love how they incorporated her grandma’s spirit guiding Moana when she needs it the most. I absolutely broke down at that part too. 😅 Those scenes still get me in the feels to this day, but I love this movie. It’s so good!
Watched it for the first time at home with the grandmother who practically raised me on so many levels. Was really hard not to become a crying mess. Fortunately we're lucky enough to still be earthside together. I feel for all of you who've lost a grandma 🦋
The ocean being harsh and unkind is very purposeful in this movie because with Moana’s dad it needed him to stay on the island to have Moana. The first time Moana tried to sail off she didn’t have the heart yet. After she has the heart it sends a storm to push her to Maui because she didn’t know what she was doing or where she was going.
Moana holding the leaf over the baby turtle is a throwback to Lilo and Stitch. In the and credits, you can see a picture of Stitch doing the exact same thing. Same pose.
2:37 “Aww save the turtle”. You my dear are entirely way too sweet. 😊
But yes save the turtle indeed.
I swear, this man has a heart of gold. It’s so wholesome and I’m here for it!
That’s suppose to be the turtle from finding Nemo to
@@wolfheartspirit97 CRUSH??? As a baby?!
As someone from New Zealand who grew up with Maori/Polynesian culture, the small and thoughtful details in this movie blew me away. The use of native Polynesian actors and talent, the various Poly languages used throughout, the bits and pieces of this culture and that woven together to make Moana’s version. Maui himself is a real demigod for many (if not all?) of the Polynesian cultures and his tattoos/feats from “You’re Welcome” are literally myths and legends of his that I grew up with. The island he pulled from the sea is the creation legend of New Zealand! Our South Island was his canoe (waka), and the North Island is the stingray he fished up (Te Ika-a-Maui, The Fish of Maui).
Motonui is a real island in Micronesia, part of an atoll surrounding the Nukuoro lagoon.
I adore Moana! All of the islands in the Pacific are formed via volcanic activity, so having Te Fiti be a fiery, volatile lava goddess under her nurturing exterior makes a lot of sense, especially when she’s mad some guy stole a part of her.
what's interesting about Te Fiti/Te Ka is that she still has the power of creation as Te Ka. Lava flowing into the water over enough time will create new islands, but without the heart the power is also highly destructive
"...people, including myself, are kind of afraid of deep, ocean water."
My first reaction: ...oh god, the entire comments section is going to be people telling him to play Subnautica
I still can't believe he's afraid of water and spiders... whilst being Australian. xD
@@petrastein2531 with spiders if anything seeing so many and so many big or deadly ones honestly just adds to the fear (also an Australian kinda scared of the ocean and extremely scared of spiders)
@@aspenture1087 I mean I also have Thalassophobia and Arachnophobia so I'm not judging or anything. It's just that I thought Australians are different breed. :) The last video I saw on yt was this Australian girl swirling a snake mid-air like a lasso to protect her pet.
@@petrastein2531 some of us are, some of us are wimps xD
@@aspenture1087 Understandable. xD
"maybe it's hungry"
you're not you when youre hungry😂😂😂😂
Te Fiti is at the top of my tattoo sleeve, along with the 2 volcanoes from Disneys lava. My son is non verbal/ non-communicative autistic and Moana and Lava calm him down when he’s having trouble regulating, he comes up and pulls my sleeve. So he can see it and just sings the song from Lava. Definitely one of new Disneys best
This is probably my favorite Disney movie of the modern era of Disney movies
real!
its so good and the soundtrack slaps as well!
This movie is beyond a masterpiece, I was so excited when they announced the second
(Small side note, everyone calls the rays sting rays. They’re manta rays 😭 no danger whatsoever lol)
technically sting rays are not dangerous either. Their venom causes pain but not death. What killed Steve Irwin was where he was stung, the stinger pierced his heart.
@@alyshaharper8730 a bard that can cause injury is still dangerous, just because it’s unlikely to kill doesn’t make it not dangerous. I wasn’t thinking of Steve at all why did u have to bring him up, now I’m sad 😭🤣
I wouldn’t be so confident about the sequel. The voice cast haven’t decided to reprise their roles as the “movie” is a scrapped tv show pilot. Lin Manuel Miranda has already confirmed he will NOT be writing the music for it
little fun fact to go off the last bit: manta rays aren't mantas. they were first believed to be, but more recent discoveries and research show that they are actually mobula rays (I think it's mobula, it's something in that line) it has to do with whether the mouth is underneath or in the front, but since they've been called mantas for so long, they will most likely have the same situation as one of the prehistoric sea mammals that got called a reptile and when they found out it was a mammal it was too late and the name couldn't be changed. I can't remember the name of it, but people still call it a dinosaur because of it, even tho it wasn't.
edit: I spent wayy too long trying to find this again, but i just had to say, I looked it up, and I THINK it's the lystrosaurus. ima have to go look through some videos from lindsay nikole to be 100% sure
@@incogneeto_mosquito it’s is the Lystrosaurs 😭
"Okay, first, I am not a princess. I'm the daughter of the chief."
"Same difference."
"No."
"If you wear a dress, and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess."
Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Auli'i Cravalho.
Casting Notes Fact: Despite playing her grandmother, Rachel House is only 29 years older than Auli'i Carvahlo.
Smoldering Intensity Fact: When Moana first meets Maui, he cocks his eyebrow in a strange way. This is called the "People's Eyebrow" move, Dwayne Johnson's signature move from his wrestling career.
Voice Play Fact: The villager who suggests cooking Heihei is voiced by Alan Tudyk, who also provides Heihei's vocal effects. Moana (2016) was the first Disney film dubbed into Maori. The Maori version is available in Australia and New Zealand, as well as on Disney Plus.
Historical Facts: According to archaeological evidence, the exploration of Western Polynesia proceeded rapidly until about 900 BC, stopped suddenly for over 1,000 years, then resumed just as suddenly, with all of Eastern Polynesia colonized within a few centuries. Several plausible explanations exist, but the exact cause of the "Long Pause" remains a mystery.
Mythology Fact: The spiral on Moana's (Auli'i Cravalho) necklace and on the sail of her boat is called a koru. It represents the unfurling fern frond, symbolizing new life, new beginnings, personal growth, hope, a new start, perfection, rebirth, awakening, purity, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace. As a double spiral, it also symbolizes kinship and belonging.
It is the actor that plays Jango Fett 2:26
Top theory is that moana and her ancestors are all decendents of te feti but only some have any of her power. Moanas grandmother had te feti's connection to nature and was seen as an outcast for it. She also transormed or ascended once she passed away into the creature she felt the closest connection with.
Moana was choosen by the ocean at a very young age because of the power she recieved from te feti and the top theory is that when moana left her island, the ocean sent the storm and during that storm moana actually died and became a demi god. This would explain why she awoke on demi god island, had the strength to topple maoi's statue, survive the fall into the realm of monsters, have visions, fight a demon and connect with a god.
I don't know if she died.. because Tamatoa the crab was surprised to see her there because he sensed that she was a mortal human.
But I do love that theory of them being descendents because of the grandmother spiritually with nature and Moana spiritual with the Ocean. Also, because Moana has a strong resemblance to Te feti.
So many things I love about this movie but a couple little details in particular:
Maui doesn’t come back for the final fight until Moana has gotten through that little channel first, she had to overcome a moment in battle herself before he came and helped her which I really like.
Also Maui stancing up and doing a Haka (or whatever it actually was) straight up ready to die so Moana could get the heart makes mah heart feel good.
I grew up on the Renaissance movies and Moana was the first movie in a long time that I actually felt weirdly nostalgic watching it. It was like they took all the best story elements and magic of what made musicals great and created a new masterpiece. I also really liked that there wasn't a romance in this movie and Moana's arc was of self discovery which made it really refreshing to me. Moana's "I want" song was also wonderfully imbedded with her insecurities rather that exclusively a desire.
14:42 The shell her grandma gives her is the same shell that was on the chiefs necklace in the ancestor flashback!
Fan theories:
1. The grandmother died the moment she gave Moana the heart because it was keeping her alive
2. Moana died during the storm this she became a demi goddess herself.
*My personal theory*
The first voyagers were actually the people hidden away by the mist & when the mist rose the people started traveling & settling elsewhere.
It also explains why Moana was able to enter the monster realm. No human can survive La'Lotai and Moana does it easily, which supports the idea that the storm killed her, and the ocean brought her back as a demi-goddess
@@teslafreeman very true
The songs in this movie are SO GOOD! I still listen to How Far I'll Go every now and then. Shout out to LIN(-manuel)!
This is a favorite around our house. Lin Manuel’s music is so catchy, its hard not to love it
The common sentiment is, "Why didn't the Ocean just do most of this itself? It clearly seems like it could have at least done a lot more to help her, if not just returned the Heart itself." I think the whole point was that because the heart was stolen by/for humans, the intention was that humans should have to be the ones to do it and prove that the world shouldn't be destroyed: that there's hope for humanity being good and worthy, or something along those lines. I think Tefiti herself had to see a human coming all that way and being selfless and compassionate before she was going to allow her heart to be given back to her like that. While it was clear that she _wanted_ it back, I suspect that as an angry monster, turned that way by her pain and hatred, she wouldn't have truly been able to absorb her heart back into herself: that because it's an obvious metaphor for her trauma, the only way she was ever going to be able to get it back was by seeing that people can be good, too, and allowing that hope and optimism to open hear heart again and reconnect with it. The damage could finally start to heal. Plus, as much as the Ocean likely wanted to help her, it was clear that they couldn't touch without it hurting her, and turning her to stone. If it had tried to place the heart back in her chest, her chest would have hardened and physically prevented the Heart from entering. It needed a human touch, and it needed to find a human who wouldn't shrink away from her or see her as a monster and try to defeat her, rather than help her heal.
I feel like I should add that this whole thing was started by humans wanting to have the power of the gods, so Moana using the power of the Ocean to cheat would have looked bad. I think the Ocean recognized that she really had to earn it on her own, or this was never gonna work, and Humanity was just gonna go right back to expecting the gods to help them with everything and do everything for them.
08:15 "How far I'll go" is actually my favorite Disney song even though I have been growing up with all the Disney classic. This song just moves something inside me, everytime I hear it.
I believe it should be noted that Te Ka wasn't surrounded by poison, but by volcanic rock, which, when ground down by the weather, is some of the most fertile ground in the world. So Te Fiti, when restored, is just showing the natural progression from forbidding lava fields to verdant islands. Great analysis and wonderful reactions!
The music in this movie is unbelievably good
when Moana calls out "I am Moana" and the orchestra swells with that Polynesian choir as she dives down to reclaim the heart, dude it moves me to tears every time, it's such a beautiful score and scene
“She a water bender”
The ocean is just a character on its own. 3:06
This is one of my favourite disney movies, it's truly a testament to "heart" and passion in a film, which is what disney stood for at its core, not to mention the awesome music in Moana.
Great reaction. I watched Moana for the first time in the cinema, a week after I lost my grandmother to cancer. I was silently crying my eyes out from the moment to the stingray spirit helped her over the reefs. I love this movie, but it always makes me emotional.
What a beautiful movie. The animation is so vibrant. I havent seen it in so long. Good performance by The Rock.
Hei Hei was voiced by none other than Alyn Tudyk, who was K-2SO in Star Wars Rogue One, the pilot in the TV series Firefly, and currently in another TV series Resident Alien.
Moana is my second favorite movie, I've been obsessed with the princess and the frog since I was a kid ❤
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.
Maui throwing Moana overboard was so funny 😂😂😂
The thing I love most about this movie is that the villain isn't some Evil Witch or anything. She's... a traumatised victim who had her heart stolen, lashing out at anyone who might hurt her again. And the solution wasn't to defeat her by fighting, but to show empathy and compassion, reminder her of who she is, and give her heart back. It's such a powerful message of healing through therapy and community, and such a departure from more common tropes where the villain is defeated by violence.
one of my favorite soundtracks if not the favorite from a disney movie - all songs are great and the fact the whole cast has Polynesian/Maori roots so its lore accuarte is just fantastic. But what do you expect when Lin-Manuel Miranda is part of things? Exactly this- perfection!!
Moana is my favorite Disney movie. The songs are so good, the story so relatable. Even if there is magic in it, it doesnt make it so impossible for us to relate even to Maui. By the way, Maui is an actual demi god. Te Feti when she sleeps and became an island was inspired by Mount Otemanu in the Bora Bora islands.
I totally missed this till now but when the flowers bloom again on her island one of them is the sun flower from tangled.
Love Moana so much,im so excited for the sequel and her grandma makes me think of my grandma who is no longer with us and i get tears every time her grandma says there isnt a place u cant go where im not with u
Please watch Balto (1995) at some point!
Oh my god please, this movie is beautiful😭
@@sanddornblute78 It's such an underrated movie for some reason, but always been one of my favorites along with Spirit. So good! ❤
Man i always forget how old that movie is
Balto is so fun but if he watches that I'd want him to watch Togo right after so he can get the real story. No complaints though because both movies would be amazing to see him react to!
@@HadesPerennial True! Togo made me cry so much. But since he's watching a lot of animated movies I'd love a Balto reaction, at least!
Hei Hei is my favorite character 😂 He’s so dumb but loyal, I love him.
The ocean is alive, and it was calling to Moana, but also chastising her for trying to go out past the reef unprepared. It helps her where it can, but it can't do everything for her. It can't return the heart of Te Fiti, because it's Maui and humanity's burden to bear.
Just love how sweet you are. To reacting to the baby turtle and caring about Pua was super cute.
Who’s excited for Moana 2?! Moana is my favorite Disney movie
Apparently a Moana 2 is in the works?
(also I have never cried harder than "They have stolen the heart from inside you/but this does not define you.")
Thank you so much for this reaction. This movie is very dear to my heart. This movie was my late ex’s favorite movie, and I remember seeing this with her back in the theatre with a college friend of ours. We’d always compared ourselves to Moana and Maui. She even named her dog Hei Hei after the chicken. I can still recall when we went to an aquarium and got to watch the dolphins. I’d like to think that would’ve been her spirit animal. 👩🏻🦱🧔🏻♀️💚🐷🐔🌊
i love how you genuinely absorb the message of the movie
Have you seen Lilo and Stitch or Peter Pan? Those are my two personal favorites! Lilo and Stitch is about a blue, fluffy alien who crashes onto Hawaii and is being chased by other aliens. It's great!
The chicken (Heihei) is the best character in this movie 😂. The pig Pua was suppose to be the sidekick but Heihei tested better and he is amazing
If the quote "no matter where you go, I'm always with you" always gets to you, you definitely need to react to Before I Wake. Such a touching movie and one of the best blind watches I've experienced.
Fun fact; Jemaine Clement, who plays Tamatoa, was the tulkun scientist in Avatar: Way of Water.
Moana is the most adorable toddler in any animation ever made. Period.
4:42 having what you need is not the same as having what you WANT.
Another great movie! (And one of my fav)I love your reactions, it really shows your true emotions from scene to scene and I absolutely love it 😊
Ps don't know if someone else already suggests you Balto, very underrated movie that I deeply appreciate
One thing I find interesting (and that I didn’t notice until SuperCarlinBrothers pointed it out in one if there videos) is that the ocean puts Moana through two tests before she goes on her quest
Test 1) keep the shell, or save the turtle?
Test 2) how do you respond to failure?
And according to a theory they had, her father was put through the same tests, but failed the second one
omg the way i love this movie 😭 i watched it literally twice in a row the first time i saw and the scene with moana and Te’ Fiti when she puts her heart back ughh chills and tears
everytime
You, my good sir, have earned a subscription. You continually have incredible reactions and inspire through insightful commentary and analysis. Looking forward to your future videos 😊
If you havent yet, The Prince of Egypt and Joseph by dreamworks are both great films and I think you would love them.
Love watching your reaction vids! You always seem to find a positive spin and a deeper meaning behind what you're watching - keep doing what you're doing!! 💕
Hey, I'm really happy to see you watch this movie, it's one of my favs! Just began the video, sitting here with my pumpkin soup, I am so ready. Your videos are really comfy and the perfect thing to end the day with :)
Pua was supposed to be a bigger character, but they said it would be too sad if something happened to him 🙃🤦🏻♀️ so then like maybe don't have something happened to him because the pig is the cutest!!!
Love your reactions! ❤ I like the way you reflect and comment - you seem to be very wise and good hearted, but still with a great sense of sarcastic humor 😂❤
You’re on a roll Oscar watching a lot of great Disney films!! Can’t wait to see what you’ll watch next!! This is another great Disney film that turned out better then I thought. Cool fact at 29:50 Lin Manuel Miranda got inspiration for the shiny song from poor unfortunate souls from little mermaid and he also wrote it as a tribute to David Bowie who died the same year Moana came out.😊😁🌀🌊🏝️🐚🎵🎶
This is hands down my favorite disney movie. I’m more of a ghibli gal but Moana is amazing. It has the cultural appreciation and backstory so many disney movies lack and while it is a “princess movie”, the princess is the strong leader in her own right, her character does not revolve around the love pf a man. This movie focuses more on themes of family and love for others in general, not romantic love. I wish I had still been a little girl when I got to watch this.
The white shirt throws me off haha looks great tho and I’m glad you enjoyed the movie! The VA’s did amazing
I love your reactions always. You're so empathetic and really good at reading between the lines with characters to see the nuance.
One movie i think would be perfect for you to watch is Brother Bear.
Thx for reacting, love this movie, love you and your videos and reactions and your commentary .
Fun fact: historically, there was actually an anatomical reason that most navigators of that culture were men: certain, ahem, round parts were used to sense ocean temperatures to test for currents.
One of my comfort movies ❤
In 43:47 doe as the flowers grew- I noticed the first flower looks a lot like that flower in tangled!
This is one of my favourite all time movies! As someone who grew up on the ocean for the most part of my childhood (my father was a sea captain), so i definitely feel this "personal connection" whenever i see the ocean, too, like I'm seeing a past life of mine since most of those memories are faded. Aside from all that, this is one of the best disney movies. Up there with Tangled (since that is everyone's fan fav!)
Love your reactions. Always excited to see you post a movie. I think you should watch “Home”. It’s so cute and colorful and funny. I think you would love it. Keep up the fantastic job. Love and prayers
I was literally about to comment suggesting you watch Moana while I was watching your reaction to Coco and then when I finished I saw this :D
19:26 : the eyebrow raise like the rock
Maui is played by the rock, Dwayne Johnson
15:00 well I KNOW what you're saying.. probably way more than some actually..
When I hear that line I just burst into tears.. like I don't tear up during the scene or anything nothing just leads to it I just hear it and burst into tears right away.. just like I did rn and every time really..
This movie resonates with me for that specific thing.. her relation with her grandma..
I used to live with mine basically since I was born, it was us 2 against everything up until she left before my 20s birthday.. Now 6 years later and it's like it was yesterday.. the whole never fades the pain is so fresh nothing heals such thing.. you only learn how to deal with it an co-exist with it..
I leant to feel her in every thing around me, everything she loved, everything we shared, our memories and habits and it's like she's all around now❤
I'm still living in our house I could never leave it❤
So this sentence she says always hits home.. I FEEL it to my bones, I'm living it. 🙂❤
This is so precious to me to re-watch it with you I was so happy seeing the notification! I usually don't revisit it on my own.😅
Great reaction😊❤
This is one of my favorite movies! Thank you! 😭💖🔥
Yes. Temuera Morrison plays her dad, father of Aqua man and is Boba Fet in Star Wars.
I really enjoy your reactions. I totally agree about being afraid of deep water. You make everything fresh and fun! I subscribed.
11:46 This is my fav song. 😍 So glad you were able to watch this movie, so lovely.
ahh this is one of my fave disney movie, i have a moana movie reaction marathon at the minute, i love people seeing it for the first time, fun fact we have moana 2 coming this november i am incredibly excited❤️🥰
You should watch the hunchback of notre dame
You're spot on with the dad. He is voiced by Jango Fett lol
Hello from Brazil, mate! I started to watch your videos a couple months ago and just wanna say that I really like your reactions. You make so many insightful comments. Keep up the great work. Also, please react to the movie Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
trying not to scream at work rn lol i’m so excited for this😂
Moana has onde of the best scores ever. E V E R Y single song and melody! Cheers from Brasil!
Few catch it...but there IS an actual reason the Ocean itself can't put the heart back. Because Te Ka boils it away as soon as they touch. And Te Ka won't let it anywhere near because touching water hurts it.
It couldn't go to Maui directly because Maui won't cooperate.
Moana herself isn't necessarily a particular "chosen one," but the Ocean needed someone capable and willing.
Grandma was clearly willing...but far too old. Dad was capable, but unwilling. Mom might've been willing, but not capable. Most of the other people on the island also fall into that range somewhere.
Moana ended up being the only one that WANTED to go, AND was reasonably able to do so. She's not special, per se...just...convenient.
Normally, however, such stories are pretty much just "Gods are evil jerks and do fuck all, while some absurdly and inexplicably special mortal is somehow the good guy." (and, said mortal is also still usually an asshole)
One of my absolute favorite Disney flicks. There's a Moana 2 in production now, which I unfortunately will not see because I no longer give Disney my business.
I love how this movie uses volcanoes as a metaphor for the cycle of trauma and healing. It’s en extremely on the nose metaphor, but it’s also brilliantly executed.
Shiny and especially We know the way are one of my fav songs from disney
This movie and music are simply outstanding!!!!
I’ll never forget the first time watching this, literally on the plane home from my first time vacationing in Hawaii ❤️
Your reactions are so pure
12:18 it’s a blink and you’ll miss it scene, but the cloud to the top right looks like Te Fiti a bit. Even if this was intentional or not, it’s still really cool!
