  The way that this movie didn&apos;t have a villain and made healing the conflict resolution changed me forever

  Fun fact: Moana setting and inspiration is from all the Polynesian cultures mixed together. Like for example, some of the songs are sang in Tokelauan language and the costumes has like a mixture of Samoan and Tongan traditional clothing..so its all blended together beautifully. And the character Maui has different interpretations and versions of him in every Polynesian culture.

  Remember this applies &nbsp;to all Polynesian cultures not just in Hawaiian religion, I don’t want be that person but this movie was such a big deal to us other small island countries then it’s always just called “Hawaii” even thought māui is covered in Māori tattoos (from New Zealand) as a kiwi myself no hate all love though just letting you guys know xx

  Fun fact about newborn turtles: a big thing that&apos;s always made clear is that if you&apos;re going to help them find the water, you absolutely cannot carry them there. They have to find it on their own. <br><br>The scene at the beginning is essentially how Moanas journey ends up going out on the ocean. She may have been pointed in the right direction, but ultimately she had to do it on her own.

  Fun fact: this is actually true! Polynesians DID stop wayfinding for a period of time, and nobody knows why.

  The ocean chose Moana because of her HUMANITY. <br><br>Maui couldn’t do it, he&apos;s shoot first ask questions later.<br><br>The ocean couldn’t do it because water hurts Te Ka.

  Love that Moana is her own hero in this movie, she really does so much and shows strength.

  the reason the songs in this are so great is because they were mostly written by Lin Manuel-Miranda, the same guy who wrote the hit musical Hamilton. I am also a big fan of Shiny and thought I was one of the only people who is; I find that most people gravitate toward the other song but there&apos;s something about Shiny that speaks to me haha thanks for the reaction guys and happy belated birthday Bryce! (my birthday was May 16th so pretty close to yours)❤

  Another fun fact: &nbsp;Moana is also loosely based around what is called The Long Pause where after rapid expansion Polynesian peoples just stopped travelling for almost 2,000 years!
