Although Moana is strong-willed, self-reliant, and brave, the film leaves out a little detail about her: her age. She is in her teens and is said to be around the age of sixteen years.
Moana is set about 2,000 years ago, which would have been sometime during The Long Pause. In Moana, the people of Motunui never travel beyond the reef because of a longstanding tradition that isn't fully explained in Moana.
Gramma Tala : But one day, the Heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's Heart and save us all.
Maui is her guardian angel, who was tasked to take her to 'Te Fiti', which stands for heaven in the movie. “The whole movie was about her journey to the afterlife.”
Currently, there are no official plans for an animated Moana 2 movie being developed for a theatrical release. However, in January 2022, Disney did confirm that a Moana sequel series was in the works for release on Disney+. This will continue the young heroine's story under director David G.
Moana and Maui are getting married and they have a cute daughter, who is the bridesmaid! Pua, Heihei and Pua's little piglet are attending the ceremony too, ...
She does not have to be saved by a man, and end up with her “Prince Charming.” Moana is independent from the beginning, a strong leader, resilient, and she is not white!
Nope. It turns out Moana just doesn't have one in the movie. "It's a film about the heroine finding herself," Musker and Clements revealed to EW about whether or not Moana was going to have a romance.
The Heart of Te Fiti May Have Been Keeping Tala Alive
Considering the ocean chose Moana when she was a child, someone needed to keep the precious Heart safe. A popular fan theory explains that with the Heart in her possession, Gramma Tala was granted a little more time to live and guide Moana on her quest.
"There's a whole ocean!" "There's more beyond the reef." "We were voyagers!" "The Ocean chose me."
Tempera Morrison plays Chief Tui, Moana's father, a leader that's cherished by the people of Moroni Island. Nicole Scherzinger plays Moana's mom Sina, who has a playful personality but still wants to protect her daughter from the dangers of the world.
Tala gives Moana the heart of Te Fiti, which she has kept safe for her granddaughter ever since she was chosen by the ocean, and shows her that the darkness unleashed by Maui's theft is now consuming the island.
The story of the demigod Maui stretches across the Pacific and is estimated to be over 1000 years old. Always on a quest to empower mankind, Maui has become an endearing icon to the people of Polynesia.
During their journey, Maui tells Moana about his past. He says that he was abandoned by his parents and adopted by the gods. When Moana and Maui find Te Ka, a spirit risen due to the stealing of the heart of Te Fiti, they fail to get past her and Maui's hook is badly damaged. Upset and let down, Maui leaves Moana.
“Even in the myths where he's small, he's larger than life,” Osnat Shurer, the film's producer, said. “And in animation, we're not literal. You're trying to find the essence of the character. We always felt that the audience needed to know right away, visually, that this guy is stronger than anybody else.”
Although Moana's relationship with Maui never extends beyond the platonic level in the film, and although he is a 1,000-year old demigod and she is a 16-year old human, a lot of fans of the film like to put her and Maui in a romantic pairing known as Hooked Wayfinder.
The latest character to join the Disney Princess franchise is Moana, the daughter of Motunui's chief Tui and Sina. Unlike other princesses, Moana's parents didn't have a prominent role in the story, but they are alive through her whole journey.
Among the iwi of New Zealand, Hina is usually considered to be either the elder sister or the wife of Māui.
He lost both the heart and his magic fish hook to the depths of the sea. A thousand years later, the ocean chooses Moana, daughter of Motunui's chief Tui, to return the heart to Te Fiti. Tui and Sina, Moana's father and mother, try to keep her away from the ocean to prepare her to become the island's chief.
