On November 18, 2016, Moana made her debut at the Disneyland park during the "You're Welcome" pre-parade, in which she toured through the parade route to the music of Maui's signature song. She later began making meet-and-greet appearances at the Art of Animation attraction on November 20. Walking Spoiler: Her true identity as Te Fiti without her heart is this, especially for the climax of the movie. She Is the King: She is crowned Chief at the end of the movie after she saves her village from the threat of starvation. Establishing Character Moment: Heihei is introduced in the Age-Progression Song "Where You Are," and we see two examples of his extreme stupidity. As a toddler, Moana takes a coconut shell off the rooster's head so he won't trip on a taro corm, only for him to walk straight into it anyway. When Moana is a child, Heihei sits on a cooking mound and Moana has to yank him out before more than his tail feathers catch fire.

Sina voiced by: Nicole Scherzinger (English and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi); Christiane Fougerouse (reo Tahiti, speaking), Vaiana Perez (reo Tahiti, singing); Amanda Ashton (te reo Māori)Moana's parents and the chiefs of their island. Really 700 Years Old: Although Maui has the appearance of a well-built young man, he was trapped on the island for a thousand years and that's not including all the many legendary "creation of the world" feats he performed prior to that. I Am" Song: "I Am Moana", where she considers her identity and who she is before coming to the truth.

A Mighty Girl

During the credits of that movie, one of the photos showed Stitch holding a giant leaf over a sea turtle and its baby the same way Moana did. During his song, after describing himself as a decapod, he gives an Aside Glance and tells the audience to look it up. In the series finale of At Home With Olaf, a short clip of her film featuring herself appears during a montage of heartwarming moments from Disney films playing in Olaf's song " I Am with You". Tui notices his daughter's love for the sea, and over the years, he and the people of Motunui try to convince Moana that their island home is a paradise and that her destiny is to follow in her father's footsteps by becoming chief. Though she loves her people, Moana continues to feel drawn to the sea, something Tala encourages. One day, Tui takes Moana to a sacred place on the island: a high mountain, where chiefs from every generation place a stone to signify the start of their leadership. This inspires Moana to finally accept her role as soon-to-be chief of the village. She thusly spends her time learning under her parents on how to assist her people across the island. One day, the islands' supply of food begins to die out. Moana believes that traveling beyond the reef to find food elsewhere is the best solution, but Tui strongly forbids it. She nevertheless tries against his wishes and nearly drowns before she can even make it past the barriers. Evil Is Hammy: In true Disney Villain fashion, he's extravagantly over-the-top. What else would you expect from a character voiced by Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement?

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). Touched by Vorlons: Without his fish hook, he is still inhumanly strong, and resilient to physical harm and age. Since he says himself that he was not born a demigod, he got those more "baseline" demigodly powers this way. Character Development: At first he believes he's nothing without his deity-created fish hook, and openly laments how useless he views himself as whenever the hook is unavailable. Through Moana, however, he slowly begins to realize that the hook is only an accessory during his adventures and that his many accomplishments over the years were a result of his own selflessness and bravery, rather than what the gods conjured to assist him in such exploits. He discovers that Moana's words of wisdom are correct, and proves so by fighting relentlessly against Te Kā, even Throwing Down the Gauntlet at Te Kā with a battle haka after the hook is completely broken. A new adventurer character, Arthur Quinn, has also been introduced in Disney Treasure announcements. Lightning Bruiser: He is strong enough to overpower Maui, and is also much faster than something his size has any business being.Nerves of Steel: Moana calmly walks toward Te Kā— who has nearly killed a demi-god and is now charging straight toward her.

Survivor's Guilt: According to Sina, Tui's friend begged him to go with him on the boat, which contributed to his guilt from not being able to save him from drowning even more. Telling her to feel for warm currents to tell where the boat is going, then urinating in the ocean to warm it up and gross her out. The Confidant: Mini Maui is unique in that he has a legitimate relationship with the actual Maui, serving as the latter's confidante, despite his inability to speak. Remember, Disney bounding is all about creativity and individuality. Use Moana’s style as a starting point and make it your own. Have fun and embrace your inner island princess!

Badass Pacifist: Moana stops Te Kā/Te Fiti by reminding the goddess that she knows who she is, which is not a goddess of destruction.
