Moana Theory: Who Were Maui's Parents? | Discovering Disney

[@IsaacCarlson]

SPOILERS FOR THE VIDEO, BUT AN EXPLANATION IF YOU ARE STILL WONDERING WHO HIS PARENTS ARE: I have been getting a lot of comments about not explaining who is parents actually are. His parents came into the film unnamed and I am able to link Maui to another civilization, but its difficult to find a couple in Atlantis to Maui. The only people we know from Atlantis are Kida, Kida's father King Kashekim Nedakh and her mother which is why I didn't find names for who his parents were. In mythology his parents were named Māui is the son of Taranga, the wife of Makeatutara, so I should have concluded these were his parents names in Atlantis. Sorry for the lack of clarity. Thanks for watching and have a magical day.

As I understand that this is more of a Disney theory about who Maui's Disney parents are, then this is pretty cool. But hearing that Disney changed Maui's background story saying that he wasn't loved by his parents and just threw him in the sea is kinda sad. In Maori mythology, Maui was born to Taranga who, after giving birth to Maui, Saw that the child did not cry or breath. Crying and Weeping, Taranga cut her long beautiful hair and wrapped Maui in it, (This gave him the name Maui-Tikitiki-a-Taranga) thinking him to be dead, and drifted him away in the sea. Tangaroa (god of the oceans and seas) took pity on Taranga, and so he took the child, and sent him to another person to raise him called Tama-nui-ki-te-Rangi. He raise Maui to his adolescence years, once Maui because of manhood age, he set of to find his mother Taranga. .....There's more to the story, but it goes on and on. This is just another version of his birth, that i found could have been more suitable and cooler for the movie.

A theory: Rapunzel’s hair doesn’t have healing powers, it has the power to reverse time in things, in the song you sing ,you can hear a lyric, “make the clock reverse” is a pretty big clue. Besides why would Gothel become young because she got healed? If she had reversed time she would start being young again. And that makes more sense, when she takes away a bruise it’s because, a few hours ago you didn’t have that bruise, so fun fact?

They add to the Chinese government’s other abuses, such as banning expressions of Islamic faith. Even worse, the film credits specifically praise the police security bureau in Turpan, a city in eastern Xinjiang with a large Uighur population. Did i miss it or did Isaac make a Stand on this?!

Hey guys! I'm Polynesian! Amazing, I know 😛 Does anyone want to know a bit of folklore? Great, you're in luck 😉👌 I studied it in New Zealand, where I grew up and Hawaii, where I studied at uni. Maui pops up in a lot of Polynesian folklore Hawaiian, Tahitian, but most of all Maori folklore. Stories vary but, as the legends go, Maui was born premature. Seeing that Maui was dead, his mother cried, cut her hair off, wrapped him in her hair and threw his body into the ocean. The spirits of the ocean found Maui and took him to one of the gods. Some stories say the Sun god, Tama, but that doesn't make sense to me because Maui with his brothers in a later story tame the Sun with Maui's hook. Some say the it was the Sky god, Rangi. Not sure of that, all Rangi seems to do in legends is cry because he's separated from his wife, Papa, Mother Earth. Makes more sense that the god who raised Maui is the Wind god, the Sea god or many gods. Moving on, Maui is given life, raised by one or many gods, and learns to shape-shift. So, where's Maui's father in all of this? Getting there. Maui is reunited with his mother later in life, but he's tricky so he doesn't tell them right away. Don't remember the story lol look it up! But Maui stays with his mother and brothers after being reunited. Every night, he notices that their mother sneaks away. One night, he follows her out of the house, down a hole and into the underworld. Turns out his father is one of the guardians of the underworld! And people aren't really supposed to go there. The stories of Maui are way cool haha or I'm just a geek, either way 😎🤓 Maui meets his grandmother in the underworld and she gives him her jawbone because it has magical powers, which becomes his magical hook! Maui and his brothers go fishing and Maui fishes up New Zealand! Maui and his brothers go to the end of the world and use a net and Maui's hook to slow the Sun! Kids books, comics, boring old paper backs, there are so many stories and versions 👍👍👌 it's choice azzz hahaha

[@CeltycSparrow]

Here's a theory....What if Maui's mother WAS a goddess....but a FALLEN goddess? I heard a theory that Megara from Hercules is speculated to be Mother Gothel from Tangled. She was married to Hercules (which would kind of make her related to a god by marriage) and there are many symbols of the sun in Hercules as well. So hear me out....what if, Hercules and Megara had a child (who could be considered a demi-god since Meg is human) and that child was Maui. I think one of two things happened.....When the gods granted Maui his powers and he created the flower by harnessing the sun, either dear Mother Gothel went mad with her desire for power and eternal life and she took control of that power, casting her young son into the sea to keep the flower's magic for herself after she learned the secret song....OR...she got pregnant by Hercules, fled back to Earth because she didn't want the baby for some reason and cast him into the sea, and the gods saw Maui alone in the sea and gave him protection and power because his father was a god and then Mother Gothel, recognizing that power in the magic golden flower, then exploited it to grant herself immortality through Rapunzel? It's just a thought.

[@jay__birdie]

CeltycSparrow I just watched a theory that Meg was Gothel! by supercarlinbrothers.

[@CeltycSparrow]

would you buy the theory that she is Maui's mother? lol

[@jay__birdie]

CeltycSparrow trust me, I buy into theories waaaay crazier than Meg being Maui's mum!

[@jay__birdie]

CeltycSparrow makes sense as to why Maui is a demi-god, if he's the kid of Meg & Hercules, it would account for his super strength and massive size.

[@CeltycSparrow]

very true. Also, Meg HAS had trust issues with men in her past....she literally made a deal with the devil and brought her first love back from the dead and he left her for another woman. Maybe history repeated itself and she abandoned the child to cut off all ties with the gods and Hercules found him and thus we have Maui. We know from Seamus's past videos that Maui is the one who presumably created the magical golden flower that Mother Gothel covets so deeply.....perhaps if Meg DID spend time with the gods, she knew of the flower's potential magic and that's why when she found the flower on Earth, she knew how to sing the special song that would make the flower's magic work.

[@connorplisga3718]

Please do a video of this theory:"In the Disney Junior shorts "Minnie's Bow Toons", Minnie Mouse has two nieces named "Millie and Melody". So if Minnie has nieces, then she has a sister." The Question: WHO IS MINNIE MOUSE'S SISTER?

[@willowriver_clan3699]

Idk about who his parents are but I think they may be from moanas tribe/group. The necklace he has on his neck is like the first 'We know the way' in the movie Moana. Though the necklace is ONLY given to a cheif, which in the end, was given to the man on the boat at the end of the song. So, is it possible he came from the group that left, or is his dad the guy that ended up leaving? That would be an explanation for how he got the necklace.

[@FatGuyGaming]

2 points I need to make here: 1) The necklace was not given to chiefs, it was given to master wayfinders, who would travel to new islands and become chiefs of those islands. Once a master wayfinder became a chief, he would hand the necklace down to the next master wayfinder. 2) If you look closely, the necklace that the master wayfinder was wearing was the same necklace that Moana's grandmother gave to her. Through the years, all of the "teeth" (that's what they look like anyway) have disappeared from the necklace, but the same blue and white crest is at the bottom of the necklace

[@libbymiss]

So. Many. Theories. There's one theory about Hercules growing the golden flower when he was falling to earth drinking the mortal potion. Now there's this one saying Maui grew it. Theories on Meg being mother gothell after hercules died before she did so she became evil again but then there is a theory that the queen from snow white is mother gothell because they both have same goals and actions meaning they are all the same. On a completely different note I'm surprised that they roped Atlantis into this since it's a very underrated movie despite it being one of my favourites. On another unrelated note, I just thought of something. Don't those trolls in frozen have crystal necklaces? Do they relate with the whole Atlantis/Tangled crystal/sun-flower thing since anyone who theorises has heard that Repunzel and Elsa are probably sisters therefore connecting the two places meaning they could have harvested the crystals aswell and the crystals just like "I'm gonna make these rocks trolls" and then that's how they can help Anna when hit by Elsa because it's the same power. Achievement unlocked: Created new theory.

[@IsaacCarlson]

It's definitely coming soon. I will probably make it once I get back into town. Thanks for watching!

[@DemonWolfLov45]

So, we know that 'atlantis the lost empire' is connected to 'moana' and that 'moana' and 'atlantis the lost empire' is connected to 'tangled' and because Rapunzel shows up in 'Frozen 1' we know those two movies are connected, then in 'Big Hero 6' there's a statue of Prince Hans and a landscape painting of Arendelle, we know that 'Frozen' is connected to big hero 6. So, that confirms that 'Atlantis the lost empire', 'Moana', 'Tangled', and 'Big Hero 6', all take place in the same universe.

[@abigailjudith5916]

You're going to Disney world! Awesome! My family is going their on the first week of July for my birthday, wish I could meet you!

[@IsaacCarlson]

Darn! Just a bit off. I would have loved to meet a fan! Thanks for watching!

[@christophermaccool8029]

I know another Theory you could do about Moana remember how the ocean had a mind of its own in the movie well remember the reason Moana father did not want her out in the ocean because he had a friend who drowned out there well that makes me wonder if that was really the ocean or the ghost of Moana father friend watching over her. what do you think of that theory?

[@janinetaueki3944]

maui parents are makeatutara and Taranga

[@hortenciafigueroa9176]

Really

[@mang_thomas4163]

Janine Taueki lol i did not see this so i put the same comment 😂

[@mang_thomas4163]

Hortencia Figueroa yes idiot

[@ashleighpaul3563]

I hate it when Americans think they know everything but they don't. I have been hearing about him ever since I can remember but when I tell them who his parents are they always say no I'm just like OMFG I am right you are wrong

[@ashleighpaul3563]

Tyrah Haami I am too I live in masterton I think we might be related

[@tktaute1549]

his mother is taranga and the dad is tamanui i te rangi

[@w00o10]

Tk Taute yea

[@taniafaulkner9001]

Nope wrong wrong wrong tamanuitera is not Maui’s dad

[@siosifam]

True?

[@mitere01]

Mauis father's name is Makeatutara and his mother is Taranga. His name Is Maui tikitiki a Taranga . Which means Maui born into the topknot of Taranga. He was was born premature and wrapped in the topknot and placed into the sea where ocean spirits took pity on him and wrapped his bundle in seaweed to protect it till it was found by his Divine Tupuna( ancestor) Tama-nui-te-Rangi who breathed life back into the remaining spark that was Maui....

[@tktaute1549]

[@pennywise2661]

finally my life makes sense😂

[@IsaacCarlson]

I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@dynamodamon]

I To Think His Parents Were from Atlantis and plus his real parents threw him the sea maybe the antlantian's found him and the god the sea Poseidon

[@SnazzGirl]

I like how you merge all the Disney movies. Do more!

[@knightlessmoon]

I always have fun listening to your theories but on this one I think I respectfully disagree on about him being Atlantian, mainly because of one major-or maybe a few minor-differences. Unlike all the other Atlantian's his hair is dark brown while theirs is pure white, plus their skin tone is noticeably lighter. We may never know who his parents were but regardless as always it's fun to watch you theorize! Still hoping for a Black Cauldron theory someday! ;)

[@jay__birdie]

knightlessmoon maybe they threw him into the sea because of his physical differences?

[@kalenamyers3235]

Theawsomesadie 70627 This would explain why they "took one look, and threw him into the sea."

[@ashleighpaul3563]

knightlessmoon and he is Moari so how could he be that like all these theories are wrong

[@kvnggrego8115]

wat if mauis parent was tapheti and wen he was born she saw into the future and seen wat he was going to do and tried to kill him and the gods saved him and wen he found out he stole her heart for he thought she didn't need one for wat she did

[@jess_gimbert3095]

That could be true Tapheti is basically Mother Nature and they can't see into the future

[@Kaycee_Ninnie]

Te Fiti is a goddess and Maui's parents were human. So your theory can't work.

[@eclipset1807]

I think they threw him into the ocean because he wasn't like them. Notice how the Atlantians all had white hair, but Maui has black hair.

[@kias3076]

WHY DOES THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE!

[@tylermcginnis6916]

I KNOW RIGHT

[@tmorm1]

IT DOSN'T, HE DOSN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!

[@benniyaingram2900]

I thought Maui parents was Moana’s parents cause Maui said he was thrown inthe water And when Moana a god so when she got to the water her parents kept her away from it an they also talked bout Maui on the wall painting scene

[@princessdrawsalot5934]

I had a crazy Theory that Maui's mom was Te Fiti because on his back tattoo it looked like Te Fiti by her hair but I could be wrong because I don't think Te Fiti is a goddess she might be idk I just had a crazy theory

[@Kaycee_Ninnie]

Te Fiti is a goddess. Maui's parents were humans. As such Te Fiti can't be his mother.

[@elliotsmelliot]

Te fiti would be more kind than to do that, unless she likes Moana a lot so she acts kind around her.

[@dragontelikineises8890]

TEFITI WAS A GODDES

[@wendellicus853]

dude this movie is Polynesian not Fricken Alan tian like dude you said you THINK that maui made the golden flower also remember when you said that what they ment of weapons of blue fire well he only had one weapon also does he have fire coming out I really don't think maui relates to a lantis well it's all about Mythology and stuff but still maui is a Polynesian myth not that other myth and maui isn't involved with crystals anyway so how would he be the crystal warrior or whatever

[@jensenbest3890]

Plot Twist: Maui is actually the son of Poseidon/Neptune. He was cast out by his parents because he didn't look like a Greek. His mother was the wife of the chief of Motu Nui. But they made Maui with Poseidon disguised as her husband. Hephaestus built his magical fishhook. Boom.

[@undomesticated5282]

Shows the parents to abandon their little boy. He becomes a demigod who liv3s for a thousand years, and the parents stay normal. Now I’m mad at Maui’s parents. xD

[@slevinchannel7589]

Sad that this Channel doesnt handle/explore any more intense themes like Disney being so f-ed up they are proud on Mulan and stand behind Discrimination on Genocide-Level. This cannot just be ignored... For several years now, China has been systematically repressing its Uighur Muslim minority in that region - subjecting men, women, and children to torture, sexual abuse, forced sterilization, family separation, and brainwashing, among other horrors. They add to the Chinese government’s other abuses, such as banning expressions of Islamic faith. Even worse, the film credits specifically praise the police security bureau in Turpan, a city in eastern Xinjiang with a large Uighur population.

[@Beezinga]

What if Maui did create the flower, and his mother is mother gothel and that's how she knows about the flower and how to use it. Idk just a theory.... A FI- Eh, forget it!

You might wanna start studying Maori folklore to actually understand the story of Maui.......

What ya mean?🤔

Well hes basing this off of the disney version of Maui.

No problem

[@naveahperez7310]

You are so cool

[@analina4912]

Honestly, Maori myths and legends are so underrated. I live in South Auckland in New Zealand, and grew up hearing all of these tales, including Mauis misadventures. The gods remind me a lot of Greek mythology, and bear some resembalance to what the gods are in charge of. If you're willing, I would suggest researching these myths because they are incredibly interesting. Not to mention that maori culture is dying out drastically, so having many people know these myths and legends would be incredible!

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

The heart of Tefiti is a double spiral, the Atlantis symbol is a single spiral, they’re still similar but I don’t think they’re similar enough to call the same.

do u know the conection between moana and Ariel?(little mermaid)if so MAKE A VID OF IT PLEEAASSSEEE??ppl keep on saying that moana and ariel have a conection and i wanna know why........can u please make a video to explain how moana and ariel are conected?

[@katshoemaker2798]

Zyh C. yes!

[@mathewplayz200andanabelle_2]

Zyh C. my names Ariel and the little mermaid is nothing like Moana because Moana has a quest to restore the heart of teffiti (or however you say it)and the Ariel's dream is to be human so they are NOTHING alike

[@swertsweden3876]

Ariel Gaming200 j

[@kodie-leerosepedersen3927]

I watched multiple videos about their connection! I would recommend checking out super carlin brothers, they have a few videos about it

[@breezy2000]

Zyh C. They r connected but not the way your thinking like the little mermaid and frozen way. They r connected by the stuff they have in common like the crabs showing up and the water. Also how one wants to go on land and one wants to go to the sea. I heard people say they found flounder in a moana scene but I looked and didn't see anything

[@xochitlhuizar9149]

I was wait for him to show us a picture of his parent instead it felt like he kept repeat things over and over again

[@ashmortiz]

I think muis parents are Moana’s parents and Moana and Mui are siblings just saying or mui only has a dad witch is Moana’s dad just saying again

[@tylermcginnis6916]

Ummmm… Maui's parents can't be Moana's parents because Maui is, as stated in the movie Moana, 1000s of years old while Moana is a teenager

[@megbrophy6827]

Maui is from Maori mythology, his parents are Taranga and Makeatutara. The myth says that his mother believed Maui was still-born, so she wrapped him in hair and cast him upon the ocean. Lots of people have different story's about Maui though.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Interesting theory, it makes a lot of sense but I like SuperCarlinBrothers' theory better on how the golden flower is from a drop of Hercules' blood...and Mother Gothel is Meg...:D lol.

[@w00o10]

RedRoseSeptember22 obviously

[@briaisabanana7031]

I have little backing but I think that maybe his mom was Mother Gothel, explaining how she knew the song. Maybe she left Atlantis for some reason to get there.... I'd need to do more research to find more backing but it's an interesting concept

[@abbyechevarria8397]

do where is peter pan in the events of descendants please

[@carolynbrown1105]

I know who it is but for you I am not spoiling it

[@alexiawhitecloud1238]

IDK If Maui is an Atlantean, but Tafiti seemed to bring back life and tose flowers to places Hawaiian descendants were. Tere is only one curly aired character who knows of the flower, and Moanas ancestors were travelers.

[@WolfDragon-iz7wq]

If that was true then that means Maui was born Greek since Atlantis was thought to be originally on the coast of Greece according to Plato before it was swallowed by the ocean 🌊

[@un-ironicproductions6096]

Jesse Plaisance but MAUI is of Polynesian myth in the PACIFIC and atlantis is In the ATLANTIC ... A detail the theorist of the stupidly left out

[@WolfDragon-iz7wq]

Old-TimeyEye Inc. I was just pointing out how Maui would be Greek if that was true but since Maui is Polynesian that kind of dubunks the theory kind of since we don't truly know Atlantis's origin or that the ocean could have moved Maui from one part of the Ocean to the other I'm just saying

[@esellentesellent908]

Then who is Moana's Grandpa?🤔

[@jojo5403]

ese ameperosa this comment made my eyes pop out of their sockets

[@tahliaramsay]

Moanas grandpa is dead because for a chief to be a ruler, there parent chief has to be dead so for Moanas dad to be chief, Moanas grandpa is dead.

[@darkluxorphonemaster9008]

Mais mom is Taranga it's writing in I'd legend in wikipedia

[@katiekatekw]

I hate to tell you this, but Wikipedia is frequently wrong. It isn't a very credible source. His mother's name may have been Taranga, but it would probably be better to try and find that information with a different source. At school, they wouldn't let anyone use Wikipedia as a source because it could be edited by anyone.

[@fandomrose2365]

Katelyn Whitlock The writer of this comment is actually correct. Maui was a premature baby, and was thought to be stillborn. Taranga wrapped Maui in her hair knot, and threw him into the ocean because she was sad; she thought her fifth son was dead.

[@katiekatekw]

Art Nerd oh I know. i researched it myself. I was just pointing out that Wikipedia is frequently wrong. Wasn't trying to insinuate the writer was wrong :) I'm sorry if it came across that way

[@katlynlennon5723]

I have a theory Maui said he was stuck on that island for 1000 years would that mean those flowers keep him alive or somthing what if he was the first man to be created by tifiki and tifiki and the sea raised him to be a Demi God and help to creat life and Maui said he created islands coconuts and bugs which means tifiki didint creat life Maui did and tifiki just made it possible!!!

[@hotbleach9916]

well good theory but he was born as a human have watched the movie

[@hotbleach9916]

sorry if that was harsh

[@meepmeep891]

The first half of what you said, was mentioned in the video.. Also, it mentions in the movie (and in mythology) that he used pre-existing things - created by Tafiti - to create new things e.g. he buried an eel created by Tafiti and then a coconut tree sprouted. It's similar to how the lightbulb wouldn't be invented, without first the invention of electricity.. So he didn't create life; he manipulated it. Some creations came from pure science and some were influenced and nurtured by Tafiti.
