Everything GREAT About Moana!

I am Moana!!!!! Well, technically not me, but she made me feel like I could sing it at the top of my lungs. What a great film with an extraordinary ending. Here's everything right with Moana!

Huh. The more you know

[@lforlight]

10:13 You appear to have missed the point. Before Moana, each chief put a FLAT rock to make the island taller. They put flat rocks so their descendants will have a flat surface to put their own rocks, to further solidify their insistence on staying on the island. By placing a non-flat object on top, she still made the island taller, BUT she also forces the future generations to go elsewhere to put their rocks on top of, because they won't be able to place anything on top of the shell. She broke the cycle not by "being unique", but by physically preventing its perpetuation.

[@harmenbreedeveld8026]

I was thinking about this point as well: the next chief will have a difficult time placing anything on top of that. Maybe it is as you say, maybe the writers "simply" went for the symbolism of turning away from the land to the sea. Or maybe both. It was a smart scene anyways.

[@andriejeroi.delapena8462]

[@Gothelittle]

@@solaridraconi6225 I think you're right and he probably could. Which says something about his insecurities... It's also possible that he's already taken the step of embedding much of it in his new shell (most of the stuff on the shell didn't shift around even when he was dancing about). In that case, I'm not sure if he could get it off. But if he'd let go of it, I'm sure he'd have a new, shinier shell in no time. If he'd let go of it...

I know this is more than two years old so someone has probably already mentioned this but a quick scan of the comments revealed nothing similar so: The ocean didn't pick Moana JUST because she saved the turtle, it was how she did it. Moana could have easily picked up the turtle and carried it to the water, but she didn't. She kept it safe as best she could while the turtle made the journey on its own, just like the ocean did for Moana. It chose her because it believed she understood that people need to do things for themselves, even if they have someone there to watch over them.

[@phoenixon3463]

Why is everyone so insightful all of a sudden. I love when I see all these cool little facts about the movies I never thought of before. Underrated comment about an underrated movie

[@yukisuzu7496]

This is so true! There were numerous cases where people thought they were saving animals by providing too much help, so much so that the animal loses its abilities to survive on its owns. For sea turtles, they lay eggs on the beach, and a lot of the baby sea turtles DIE in the process of crawling into the ocean after they hatch. Had Moana directly picked up the turtle and put it into the water, she would be violating natural selection a whole lot more than she potentially already has.

[@EmmanuelLCHIU]

It's a known fact that by helping sea turtles get to the sea their likelihood of survival stoops.

I have my own reason why the ocean picked Moana: (I know it sounds crazy) she is a waterbender and she doesn't know.

One of my favorite things about Moana is how, after having given up her quest and then choosing to take it on for herself - rather than having it given to her - she dives in and picks up the Heart herself. She does not ask the Ocean to bring it back to her.

[@koalamanda8299]

How did she put her kingdom in jeopardy? She was just incredibly naive, which was a result of being locked up for most of her life because of her sister. She thought that she'd found 'The One' and pressed for Elsa's blessing - which yes, wasn't very smart because of Elsa's ice powers, but she couldn't have KNOWN that Elsa had those powers and would freeze Arendelle. She then set out to make it right and she only trusted Prince Hans because he'd pulled the wool over her eyes - again, due to her naivete. She never intentionally put the kingdom in danger and she tried to make it right as soon as she realised what Elsa had done, and then she stopped Hans from killing Elsa once she got out of the castle after finding out that he was evil.

Amazing.

i love how disney has been giving their females more 'bigger' arms.

Another win, the song We Know the Way was a huge advancement for Disney in incorporating the character’s native language into the song that they’re singing in such a culturally sensitive way. The best we had before that would probably be Brave or Lilo and Stitch with the lullabies, as they were both not only sung by the characters in a personal and intimate manner, but but also were relevant to the situations they occurred in. We Know the Way was still huge in that it’s used to try to convey “these characters speak this language. This is how they communicate.” Additionally, when it switches to English, the music style and emphasis stays pretty much the same, which is extremely difficult when writing bilingual music due to phonetic differences between languages. This celebrates the Polynesian culture and invites the audience to cross the cultural divide in just a perfect way.

10:16 Actually, I think there's a different meaning to that shell. Every chief puts on a flat rock to make the island taller... but also to allow the next chief in line to place his own rock and perpetuate the "stay only on the island" mentality. By putting on an uneven shell, she puts a stop to this grounded custom and allows her descendants to put their rocks on different islands, if anywhere at all.

What took me by surprise was probably the first song of the film. Cause I didn't know much about the movie going in, so I thought the main conflict would be about her wanting to leave and overprotective dad going "no." While it does do that for the first act of the film, I was surprised that Moana was actually a strong and respectable leader of her community. Unlike another Cheif's daughter who was a "free spirit" and tended to venture as far away from people as possible to have wind blow in her hair and pose attractively with Blonde Mel Gibson. I thought it would also go the route of Brave and so many other "Modern" Disney Princesses where they don't want to be a princess. But Moana never really shyed away from leadership. It does show her rebellious side, but it shows her accepting a leadership role at a young age and is pretty competent at it. Unlike so many other "Princesses" who usually go "Responsibility and community?.. eww. I don't wanta be a princess or leader" I just found that her motivation to save her entire island unique and I can't recall seeing it in another Disney Princess flick. Well maybe accept Mulan but she never wanted to save all of china as her motivation, that kinda fell upon her. Her main motive was her father.

[@sillau9]

[@juliec8090]

One thing I particularly love about Moana is how it addresses trauma. While one main theme is definitely identity, the loss of identity is through severe trauma, and healing is the only thing that allows them to regain their identity. Maui breaks the world because he’s so traumatized by his parents’ abandonment of him that he will go to any extremes to impress and prove his value to humanity. Moana’s father keeps them on the island and refuses to let Moana even learn to sail because of his trauma after trying to leave the island and having his friend die in the process. Te Fiti turns into Te Ka, who people basically see as a monster, because of heat was essentially a horrific violation by Maui, having her very heart stolen from her. It is only through Moana’s acceptance of their fear, of their doubt, of their anger, and her *refusal to be stopped by it* that heals them. She shows her father that you can leave and come back. She shows Maui that you don’t have to save the world to be loved, just take responsibility for your actions and maybe be a good friend. And she shows Te Fiti that someone can recognize you and still show compassion and empathy for you, even when you’re so traumatized and enraged that you barely even recognize yourself. *starts crying every time that “You Know Who You Are” scene plays*

BooksMusicAndSarcasm While Maui was singing you're welcome you can see flounder while the fish are swimming and the movie is reverse the little mermaid

[@berlyn8748]

BooksMusicAndSarcasm this is late as hell but you know how Moana and Maui fight Tomatoa? Well at the end during the credits, there is this part where Tomatoa is still on his back and he says "if my name was Sebastian and I had a cool Jamaican accent, you'd totally help me."

[@slayingmorin3171]

I knew Lin worked on the songs but i didn't know he sang in the movie? What part did he sing?

[@CopyCatMonster]

Okay, so here is what you do. You search up Hamilton, gets weirdly obsessed with the entire soundtrack, rewatch Moana, and when Hamilton starts singing to you, you'll know :D

[@maaariaaa_15]

Maui has his backstory... in his back...

[@kieranstark7213]

I feel like Maui became a jerk (I'm saying a fact even though Maui is actually loveable thanks to the fact that he is thank very powerful and it shows because he is Rusty Phallic aka The Rock and how much character development got) from his parents that abandoned him for some reason.

[@user-jy8zb2wc8l]

When Moana and Te Kā touch noses and breathe together, that also has significant meaning e.g. hongi for Maori, honi for Hawaiians. The theme of identity as about knowing who you are and where you are going by where you come from is also culturally important, and embodied in the principles of ocean navigation (wayfinding) that Maui teaches. It's really incredible how Pacific peoples have navigated the seas for years and were way advanced. Agreed the music was awesome!!!

[@harmenbreedeveld8026]

Quoting from Marvel's Cinematic Universe, that's a win.

[@scarredchild]

I like how she has to grow up a bit before she's ready. She wants to go now, but even her grandmother to not just shrug off her father's advice. She needs to find a reason to go on an adventure. Her journey all about saving her people. Finding Maui, restoring the heart, even learning about how to sail save her island. People, people I know, have said that she is in defiance of her father, and she does a bit. But that's part of being a Chief, finding a stable path for your people. Her father tells her: "Our people will need a chief And there you are There comes a day When you're gonna look around And realize happiness is Where you are" ...and that's what she does. It's nice to find a movie that is a nice medium between independence and responsibility without saying either is inherently bad. ♥

[@maem7462]

It's all true and awesome points. For the people who say moana disobeys her dad when you think about it almost all Disney princess disobeyed one of their parents or step parent

[@drakevicory9522]

rockstar 101 Bro i can type 80 WPM. Im fast.

[@christ-abel8774]

I toyally agree with that ! This movie is a story about maturing, self-accomplishment and caring about the loved ones. She came to realize that happiness is not just about living your dreams, but sharing them with those you care about the most. And that's why I loved Moana.

[@sajja2011]

scarred child gghnhnhhtbg Kassy Wassy

[@smallpox9254]

I was going to say something similar, but then I realized everything I was going to say, you've already said better. Unlike most Disney princesses, who basically abandon their kingdom to go on a quest, she wants to stay and help her people. She doesn't leave until it becomes clear that leaving is the only way to save them.

Moosessurus, I totally agree with you. Not only is it a great gem from Dreamwork's infancy, but it's a spectacular film that can make anyone think, regardless of your views on religion or faiths in general.

[@SitaraAleu]

I also loved how it's the only version of that story anywhere that remembers and reminds its viewers that Moses and Ramses were brothers and addresses possible family conflict they'd be facing in that story. Regardless of time period, brothers will always be brothers

[@SpaceCase132]

Yeah. Until one brother realizes that he's destined to liberate the very people the other has been raised to oppress. And once an entire empire and God himself are thrown into the mix, the movie rises to another level.

[@SpaceCase132]

I always find myself crying whenever I watch the scene when moana empathises with Te Ka. It would've been easy for the movie to have done a big brawling showdown. But that's such a masculine approach to a feminine issue. I always feel seen and loved and sympathise when I see that scene, and the score completes the scene by displaying Moana's love through sound :)
