This movie means so much to me and my people as a Polynesian! 💛Maui is a real legend across many different Pacific Islands nations and all those tales about Maui dragging the sun so we have longer days, creating coconuts through eels, etc were all stories I was told as a baby. We view the ocean as its own living, breathing being and the thing that connects the islands through voyaging and gives us life through food and water. Moana's grandma was represented through the sting ray.

Polynesians believe that the ocean is alive with a personality and moods. That's why the ocean is animated like it's a character in the story. The chicken is voiced by the great Alan Tudyk.

[@everythingshiny]

In Māori culture the ocean is personified by the god Tangaroa. The god of storms is Tāwhirimātea which is why the ocean appears to be working against Moana sometimes - Tāwhirimātea doesn't get along with the other gods and doesn't like humans.

Depressing Trivia Time: The reason the grandmother died was because the Heart was what had been sustaining her. When she gave it to Moana to give back, she gave away the only thing that was allowing her to stay alive. Without the Heart, she more than likely would have died many years before.

[@lupevilla2734]

Oh my god ...

[@dontworryaboutit6669]

Why does this not make any sense to me?? The heart never belonged to her in the first place so why would it be the main thing that is keeping her alive when she was only keeping it to give it back to Moana when she was ready to return the heart....if the heart had to be returned to save the Island and we all knew this.....why would that be the main thing keeping the grandma alive??

True Facts: Every main voice actor in this movie (aside from HeiHei) is of Polynesian or Pacific Islander heritage. The animators had a stand in Polynesian woman demonstrate how her hair looks and moves while wet vs. dry so they could get Moana right. The traditions of telling stories by tattooing them on your skin as a right of passage is still practiced today. Dwayne Johnson (Maui) followed in his grandfather's footsteps by getting the tribal looking tattoo on his shoulder.

In case you didn't catch it, the grandma was being kept alive by the Heart of Tafiti. When she gave Moana the Heart, her age finally caught up with her...

[@StoryMing]

It's more that she had a commission to discharge before she went. The Heart itself wasn't keeping her alive, I don't think, but she had to pass on the knowledge of their people's past history as voyagers and the Quest to restore the Heart; or else she’d be leaving with unfinished business.

One of my favorite themes throughout this movie is “you know who you are”. It is said to Moana by her grandma when she is about to give up and said again to te fiti by Moana when restoring the heart. It’s also reflected in the islanders becoming voyagers again and rediscovering their love for the ocean. Such a beautiful movie with so many layers!

[@neolithiumproduction]

I was late on this movie, but it was amazing. When I realized the identity of Te Ka at the end, just when Moana did, I was blown away by how great and how appropriate it was. A goddess of life turned into a goddess of death. Very true to mythology. Although I'm not really keen on the Shiny song. I'm more a fan of "You're Welcome" and "I am Moana" songs.

My only real gripe with the third is, I really wish they'd showed more of _how_ the Bellas won over the other groups rather than just handwaving it away...I mean, we all know it was going to happen, but showing the rationale is the absolute minimum they should have done scriptwise and they didn't even do that! Having it "just happen" because the Bellas are the protagonists is lazy, sloppy, MarySue-ish writing. I blame Rebel for that too.

The other half of why it's so freaking good is because Te Vaka were involved in the makings of it. I discovered them thanks to the film, and the "Laka Laka" music video has become one of my go-to mood lifters. The song that plays at the very beginning and the one that plays when Moana finds the Heart are 100% Te Vaka. (There may be more throughout, I can't remember now.)

Your reaction was so fun! I’m not surprised you liked the music - Lin-Manuel Miranda (of Hamilton fame) wrote the lyrics for this. And Christopher Jackson (who originated the role of George Washington in the musical Hamilton) voices Moana’s father in this movie. :)

[@beth12svist]

Only the singing voice. The speaking voice is Temuera Morrison, best known as Jango Fett/Boba Fett. 🙂 (He's actually not a bad singer himself but I guess the music was already written and outside his range? The only explanation I can think of why they'd not let him sing his own part when he definitely can sing!)

#bingers I am a huge Disney fan (and always have been) so here are some of my favorite Disney movies that I think would make good commentaries whether you've watched them or not)! 1. Raya and the Last Dragon 2. Zootpia 3. Big Hero 6 4. Brave 5. Wreck-it Ralf (1 and 2) 6. Aladdin 7. The Emperor's New Groove 8. Hunchback of Notre Dame 💕

I love this movie so much and own it with a bunch of extras that include how they researched the culture of several Polynesian islands making several trips to the islands! They wanted the movie to be as authentic as it could! The girl who voiced Moana and sang her songs, Auli’i Cravalho, wasn’t an actress when she got the part but was in a choir and she is from Hawaii! The crab was voiced by Jermaine Clement and Dwayne Johnson was Maui!

Hei Hei needs to learn how to stay stay. I’m dead. I died laughing at that.

[@cinnamorollthedog5385]

Fun fact: there’s a famous theory that Moana didn’t make it and drowned when her foot was caught on coral and that Maui is her guardian angel guiding her to heaven, Tafiti means heaven I believe

[@phoenixfire124]

I was so excited when this came out because it was written by the guy who wrote Hamilton. And then finding out Christopher Jackson played the father. I couldn't wait. And this movie did not disappoint me. I love the message of this movie so much.

I LOVED this reaction! Thank you for watching it! I'll never forget being 16 when this movie came out and watching it for the first time with all my family and friends. The theater in Oahu was packed and I've honestly never had a better experience watching a movie for the first time. We were all in tears watching our culture come to life 💛 As for your question around the 20 min mark, in our culture our ancestors watch over us after passing. They become family guardians and come to us in their reincarnated forms as animals. They are our aumakua (hawaiian term). Grandma wasn't kidding when she said she'd come back as a manta ray to watch over Moana ☺

Love it when people give 'Shiny' the respect it deserves 👌

I want him to watch this again and sing every lyric

[@taelerbrown2941]

Every time i hear the grandma sing i always got chills cause the songs were so touching

[@jwalk31]

I love this movie and especially the music because it gives a great description of Island life and culture. I lived in Hawaii for 3.5 years, and I still carry that time with me today, people are genuine, and they truly love their land. And it's like that for most islanders... Samoans, Tahitians, Fijians, Hawaiians, all of them. You need to listen to some Hawaiian music, and not the touristy kind, real shit. It's so beautiful and inspirationsl. like this music.

Can you please watch next: Dinosaur or The Emperor’s New Groove. Two of my favourite underrated Disney films growing up.

[@milkman8467]

the voice of the crab is jemaine clement. he’s one of my favorite celebrities ever actually!! he’s from New Zealand and started a band with his buddy Bret Mckenzie called Flight of the Conchords and they got a show on HBO where he first became famous. he’s done a lot of voice over work but his biggest role was probably in What We Do in the Shadows which he cowrote with one of his best friends, Taika Waititi (also NZ actor/director who directed (and starred in as KORG) Thor: Ragnorok and Oscar winning BANGER jojo rabbit)

[@captainsplifford]

Jermaine was amazing in Legion. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.

[@TheJeannag]

After all ths time this movie still makes me bawl - it's so gorgeous visually and tells such a wonderful story, and anytime Auli'i sings it goes straight through my heart and into my soul 😭

[@TheInspirefly]

#bingers LOVED the reaction ❤️ you singing along and loving the grandma so much gives me joy. Brave is my favorite animated movie, and I think it's criminally underrated - I would love to see you do that one!

[@tiffanyfreeman6411]

#bingers If you're gonna do more princess movies, I suggest Brave. So good and underrated!!!

[@annamelai8356]

You can react to Frozen next, even tho probably overrated, its still e great movie💗👍 worth watching it! Hunchback is a great option too, its arguably the darkest Disney movie, i absolutely love it!!

[@BillyBinges]

Both of those coming next month!

@@BillyBinges Yeah you deff have to do Frozen 2 if you do Frozen. IMO Frozen 2 is insanely better than the first, but you need to see the first to get the context for the second.

[@amy8238]

I’ve watched this movie so many times but seeing you react makes it a 100x better

[@Jonesy12]

The crab is played by Jemaine Clement who is in “Flight of the Concords”, “Legion” and “What we do in the Shadows”... so u might’ve heard of him in one of those
