I think the reason that the ocean didn’t return the heart was because it’s whole goal was to get people to navigate again. The ocean loved when the people were exploring. If the ocean had returned the heart on its own, people would just stay on the island. The ocean chose Moana so that people would dare to cross the reef.

[@HunterStiles651]

Surprisingly, Maui's parents aren't as big a deal in the original mythology as the movie would have you believe. They're so irrelevant to Maui's story that wikipedia doesn't even bother mentioning them. Basically their only contribution to the original myths is having him and then immediately tossing him into the ocean because he was born prematurely. So long story short, don't think about it too much.

[@tinekeknol5837]

1:02 the "face cuddle" thing is actually called a hongi. This is an important part of Maori culture. It's basically a traditional greeting, similar to a formal handshake. It symbolises the "breath of life" being passed between two people. In Maori mythology, it's said that Tane Mahuta, god of the forests, created the first human by carving her out of clay, and then performing a hongi to breathe life into her (there are slight variations in this story according to different tribes, but this is the version I'm familiar with). I know that Moana doesn't represent only Maori culture, but Polynesia as a whole, but i still feel like this is where they got the concept from. Especially since a lot of writers, cast, and others were from New Zealand (including Taika Waititi, who directed Thor Ragnarok, and also the voice actors for Moana's dad, her grandmother, and Tamatoa). Just thought I should let y'all know!

[@planet_explained9551]

I think the reason the ocean didn’t return the physical heart itself if because simply, it’s water. Te Ka is lava, the ocean is water, and as we see throughout the film, whenever Te Ka comes into contact with the ocean, it sort of gets put out or hurt. So, if the ocean tried to put the heart back, it would firstly have to get past Te Ka, while trying to to kill her, and put the heart back, right in the centre. That’s why I think the ocean didn’t bring the heart their itself, simply because of the ocean touches the lava monster, it could hurt or kill the island.

[@ericktheking123]

That makes sense

[@Matt-kr9bo]

The ocean could just wash the heart up on the shore of her island and everything would’ve been fine

[@rach_laze]

TheMattHatter 21 but it needed to be in the right place not just anywhere random on the island

[@humanperson2775]

But when Moana goes to put the heart in, the lava monster was already cooled down, and it wasn't dead

[@rach_laze]

Animal Gamer fun lava fact just because the outside is cooled off doesn't mean the inside has too! So it was cool enough to not boil her skin and underlying blood and allow her to place the but not so cool that it's completely cooled inside into solid rock which is what it does almost immediately on contact with enough water, if the ocean had tried to return it I'd be surprised if it didn't completely boil and evaporate before reaching the right place

[@gabvulpes]

My theory: the animators were just tired for making a whole different character so they just put a big green Moana as Te Fiti :)

I love how throughout she says "I am Moana of Motunui", but that last one was just, "I am Moana"

[@skelitonking117]

Does anyone else get the Scolding mother vibe from TaFiti when she’s dealing with Maui or is it just me? i kinda wanna see a video on the relationship with Maui and the other Gods because there’s no way TaFiti didn’t know he was on her while she still had the heart and was at full power, so there had to be some form of trust there.

I googled the meaning of Moana....did her dad and mom realize she's named after the thing they are afraid of? Ocean

[@kingciel523]

Kevin Turner they’re not afraid they just didn’t want her or anyone else get hurt by the sea. But Cool you know her name translation I never thought of it and it opens more theories

[@usrmatise]

they weren't afraid! they just didn't want to see her get hurt like her father's best friend did! moana is named after the ocean & it was fit for her because she is the chosen one!

[@dajanaejackson1684]

You know, like Lilo means lost and Stitch is.. well self explanatory. A lot of Disney character's names have meaning. CInderella, Cinder=dirty. Her name was originally Ella, but her step family added cinder to it when she was cleaning the fireplace(i believe) and had some dirt on her face. these are the only ones i can think of right now, but yeah.

[@marelisebrink8727]

As far as I know in the original legend (the movie is based on a Polynesian legend) her grandmother gives her the name “Moana”

I thought Moana carries a part of the essence of Te Fiti

[@sleepykitten5891]

Has anyone noticed that Moana’s goal was to save her island, she goes on this massive adventure and as soon as they return they abandon the island... I find that a bit backwards.

[@jadeshavon6763]

I think it’s more about saving the people themselves than it is the island. Like the difference between a house and a home

[@anonymousfellow8879]

Her goal was to save her PEOPLE. Her people are not her island, but the island sustains her people. Also. This is loosely based around polynesian peoples Voyaging, suddenly stopping for a prolongued period of time, then beginning again. It’s...also literally referenced in the film.

[@teacherjohn_stoic-dreamven7373]

In restoring Te Fiti, she saved her island. The blight was due to whatever was wrong with Te Fiti. :)

[@SuperKagomefan]

By saving Tefiti the island is saved isn't it? Because she lost her heart wasn't that the reason the earth was decaying?

[@dickottel]

I think the original poster meant they didn't have good food to eat so she had to save the island but as soon as she made the island grow good food again, they moved somewhere else?

[@gh03t_]

Maui: I'm nothing without my hook!! me: if you're nothing without the hook then you shouldn't have it

[@limeproductions7873]

The ocean couldn't possibly return the heart because Te Ka cant touch the ocean besides Te Ka needed someone like moana to calm her ass down first before returning the heart because I'm pretty sure Te Ka would've destroyed the heart or hid it somewhere instead of returning it to her own body.

[@sydneypasztor5507]

Maybe u should have watched it

[@limeproductions7873]

Sydney Pasztor I did watch it. -_-" Your comment doesn't make much sense.

[@limeproductions7873]

Three Shooting Stars. I said the ocean COULDN'T return the heart. I never said it could or did! Te Ka is the monster Te Fiti becomes when her heart is ripped out. God, did you even watch the movie? Do you even speak English? I'm just answering the question as to why the ocean could not return the heart itself. I'm not making any statements or anything. You have completely misread my comment.

[@limeproductions7873]

Three shooting stars. I admit, I was missing one capital letter and a period. (And I have added those now.) HOWEVER that does not mean my entire comment is completely incomprehensible and although my punctuation was missing the grammar and spelling are still very correct. And yes okay it's sort of stating the obvious so yes, a statement, but not really because it is even said in the movie that Te Ka can't touch water. I'm kinda just repeating what they said in the movie. BTW if you're so good at English then how the hell did you not understand my comment. Were you acting like an idiot on purpose? Are you trolling? Or are you one of those people who naturally becomes so triggered when she sees a missing period that she's unable to function? Honestly girl. I don't see what your problem is.

[@limeproductions7873]

Well apparently you do, judging by your previous behaviour .You were acting as if mt comment suddenly became completely unreadable and don't act like you're 'all chill' now cause you obviously weren't 2 comments ago. xD

[@staceyknoell6339]

"That's not real, but you really should consider limiting your plastic usage." Yes! LOL

[@theself5738]

Wow that's so deep. And it also makes me see parallels with our world in which our nature and seas are suffering and our people have lost their purpose and their way, and it takes a crisis like an exploding volcano (Te ka) and famine and poisoned waters to steer humanity and the earth back to restoration stronger than ever before. This is the new earth :)

[@lemurlover7975]

BV the Sage yes I thought more about this than the identity crises that people were going through, but I learned from my Sustainability book that conservation of the Earth must go hand in hand with love for humanity and belief in yourself as a type of hero that can save the planet and do things to help humanity. Have you ever had a crisis of faith? What do you do when that happens?

[@carmenschwering7346]

I so agree with this! To heal the earth and the seas we must 'restore the heart'

You know why they look alike It’s because the animators were lazy

[@aliensaliketiktok2497]

No one else looks like her on the island but an island looks like her hmm lazy I think not

[@lucario2able]

Disney is many things but lazy isn't one of them. Lazy doesn't make money. If every character looked the same or too close then people would hate it, plus the characters are always diverse in all the movies. If people look alike there either a reason or they are background characters that don't matter. I'd say the main character amd an actual deity are not background characters. Lol.

@ISABELLA ABALOS Same when I watch movie I keep looking at the background for easter eggs lol

[@ToniBingi]

this isn't a big deal or anything, but... saying that the picture of a heart represents moana because moana IS the heart is like saying that the picture of the hook represents maui because maui IS the hook. which is basically the exact opposite to the whole point of his journey.

[@christalcavanaugh]

No because even with that analogy, saying Maui is the hook means it was inside him all along but he was too stubborn/scared to see it. He was looking outward for validity and acceptance until he learned all he had to do was look inside himself.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Moana's grandmother is extremely old. Not only does she have the heart of Te Fiti in her possession, but she also says "I was there that day." Could that just be something inspirational she decided to say to her restless granddaughter, or was she actually there the day Maui stole the heart?

I just figured it was because Moana is supposed to the goddess of the ocean, like Te Fiti is the goddess of the land. I mean her name means Sea and her necklace looks like a blue version of the heart.
