  Not only does it cover real Pacific Islander mythology, but it&apos;s based on the real-world thousand year period where anthropological evidence suggests they completely stopped traveling between islands. They were voyagers, stopped for a full millennium, then began voyaging again, and nobody knows why.

  Eric not instantly recognizing Temuera Morrison was surprising.

  One subtler thing I really appreciate about this movie: it&apos;s actually about a Disney princess FOLLOWING her ancestors. &nbsp;Most of the time it&apos;s about her having to fight tradition or expectations. &nbsp;Instead: her predecessors are actually PROUD of what she&apos;s doing. &nbsp;The moment where she gets a nod during the &apos;I am Moana&apos; song is so heartwarming.

  &quot;It does not define you...&quot; is such a beautiful and healing message to anyone who has gone through trauma 😥

  The scene where the ocean parts &amp; Te Kā comes racing across the seafloor towards Moana, only for her to see what she really is and help her break through the pain and rage is one of the most well-crafted and beautiful moments in animation, period. The same goes for the &quot;I Am Moana&quot; sequence.

  As someone who grew up and lives in New Zealand (Aotearoa), seeing Maui and his myths brought to life like this was amazing. Obviously plenty of inaccuracies for the sake of a movie, but when you grew up on folk stories of Maui wrangling the sun, or raising up the island you live on, getting to see a portrayal of him like this was fantastic. In actual mythology he&apos;s not nearly as strong as this Maui - he had his brothers who he would fast-talk into helping him with the heavy lifting. He was more akin to a Loki-esque trickster, but on humanity&apos;s side.<br><br><br>Besides slowing the sun (by beating it with his fishhook made from his grandmother&apos;s jawbone until it couldn&apos;t move so fast), my favourite tale was his theft of fire. Mahuika, goddess of fire, only partitioned it out to mortals sparingly, being selfish with her power. But Maui was her grandson, and so she was generous with him. When he begged for fire for his village, she pulled out a fingernail made of it and gave it to him. He then put it out after leaving, and came back asking for another. He did this until she used up all her fingernails and toenails, and in a rage pursued him into the forest, which she set on fire.<br><br>The other gods put out the fire, but not before some of it was absorbed into certain types of trees which could be used to summon it without the help of a god - aka, trees that are easily flammable and used for building fires the normal way.

  There’s a hilarious clip on YouTube of Alan Tudyk recording his lines for Hey Hey the chicken and at the end he says while laughing “I went to Juilliard”🤣🤣

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXGAZTP1vUk&amp;t=1004">16:44</a> Eric Goldberg was in charge of the 2D tattoo animation on Maui and he was also an animator for Hercules. His most famous work is probably Genie from Aladdin
