Disney Girls Fancy Dress Moana

Product Information

Little Stowaway: He comes along for the adventure when he accidentally gets into one of the baskets that Moana brought with her on the boat. Voiced by: Auli'i Cravalho (English and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi), Louise Bush (as a toddler); Sabrina Laughlin (reo Tahiti), Uramateata Tauru-Paia (reo Tahiti, as a toddler), Vaipuarii Raapoto (reo Tahiti, as a young girl); Jaedyn Randell (te reo Māori)The 16-year old daughter of a South Pacific chief. As the next chieftain of her village she is at odds with her responsibility to her people and her desire to explore the sea. As a child, she was chosen by the Ocean to return the Heart of Te Fiti, and when her island starts being overcome by darkness, she undertakes this quest to save the lives of her people, learning about herself and her heritage along the way.

Gentle Giant: Well, the Pacific Ocean is the largest on Earth and its spirit takes the form of giant liquid tentacles or waves when interacting with Moana.

Him swiping Te Fiti's heart caused the entire plot (and as turned the world's resident Creator Deity into the Fallen Heroine she is). Determinator: She has a quest to complete and nothing will stand in her way, be they monsters, natural disasters, or gods. She continues her quest even as it becomes increasingly dangerous, against Maui's wishes. This causes the impasse that prompts her 10-Minute Retirement.

Jumped at the Call: Double (possibly triple) subverted. At first, she's more than willing to go out and explore, but after her first attempt ends in her boat being destroyed and her almost drowning, she starts becoming reluctant. However, after discovering that her ancestors were wayfinders, she becomes excited to go once again. But she then becomes reluctant to leave after her grandmother's health starts declining rapidly. But finally with her grandmother's encouragement, Moana claims one of the ancient boats and heads for the reef while singing another refrain of "How Far I'll Go", making it over the reef as her grandmother's spirit (who has just passed) guides her outward. Intergenerational Friendship: With Maui, as she's a 16-year-old girl and he's a thousand-year-old demigod. Strong Family Resemblance: Though Moana mostly has the feminine face structure of her mother, she inherited the confident-looking brow line from her father. She also inherited a little bit of her father's brawny build. Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Moana is a respectable height for her age, and quite fit... but Maui is a mound of semi-divine muscle, and thus he's huge next to Moana. Writer Jared Bush reported that past iterations of the film had her last name be Waialiki, while others have Motunui, though he wasn't sure on what was ultimately canon. [13]

I Am" Song: "I Am Moana", where she considers her identity and who she is before coming to the truth. Character Catchphrase: "CHEE-HOO!" It should be noted that this is actually a Hawaiian expression of excitement, Maui just uses it a lot. Heroic BSoD: After suffering a verbal and physical beatdown from Tamatoa, as well as realizing he's seriously out of practice with his shapeshifting, Maui lies on the boat despondently singing, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, we're dead soon. We're dead soon."

Creating the coconut trees from the guts of an eel he buried and hoisting up the sky are both taken from the Hawaiian Maui. Bold Explorer: She is described as having a strong calling to explore the sea beyond her island. Being forbidden from this seems to have only enhanced it. Later Moana earns the title of "master wayfinder" from Maui. Moana is the second Disney Princess to be an original character and not based on a preexisting character, the first being Merida from Brave. Mom Looks Like a Sister: Moana's mother doesn't visibly age much over the course of the movie, putting this trope into motion at the end.
