    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The spiral on Moana's necklace and on the sail of her boat is called a koru. It represents the unfurling fern frond, symbolizing new life, new beginnings, personal growth, hope, a new start, perfection, rebirth, awakening, purity, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace. As a double spiral, it also symbolizes kinship and belonging.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning, Gramma Tala is telling the story in the gazebo. When Chief Tui knocks down the banners, the one to the left of the picture of Maui and to the right of Te Ka is a large monster but switches to a mountain and sea scene as baby Moana sneaks out of the tent.
    • Quotes
      • Moana: Okay, first, I am not a princess. I'm the daughter of the chief.
      • Maui: Same difference.
      • Moana: No.
      • Maui: If you wear a dress, and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess.
    • Crazy credits
      There is a post-credit scene where Tamatoa the Crab (Jemaine Clement) explains he's still stuck on his back and is still upside down and he needs a little push then he breaks the fourth wall by telling the audience that if he was named Sebastian and if he had a cool Jamaican accent we would help turn him over. A clear nod to the directors Ron Clements and John Musker's crab character "Sebastian" in The Little Mermaid, which they wrote.
    • Alternate versions
      A Sing-Along version was given a limited release in select theatres in 2017, which contains on-screen lyrics for every musical number in the film. This version can now be watched on Disney+.
