Things i learned about Moana from D23
this is long overdue but i havent been feeling the Moana tag…alot of weirdness and negativity..anyway here goes
- Moana is extremely close to her grandmother (spoiler *not really* she dies)
-Her people are famous navigators
-They’ve stopped navigating and exploring beyond their island
-Moana’s grandmother encourages her interest in navigating by telling her stories
-Moana has a friendship with the water (this is NOT a power like elsa)
-She can communicate with it, like an old friend
-I think Moana’s personality is going to be a great mix of rapunzel, pocahontas and Mulan
-Moana has an adorable pig names Pua (i NEED a plush of him)
-Maui is loud and charismatic, his tattoos tell stories (move)
-He is a demi-god who uses a fish hook to pull up the islands into existence
-The movie makers have a team of Polynesian elders and locals with whom they have met with and sought approval on every aspect of the movie
-The clip of the volcano spirit was awesome, she looked younger then the concept art and with every move she oozes lava
-The music is UNREAL. The authentic music is gorgeous and sets the tone of the movie perfectly. the score we heard on the clip with moana as a toddler was perfect as well.
-The scenery of the clips shown were breathtaking, the water looked more realistic then any animated movie I’ve ever seen. The island as a whole looked like you were flying over a Hawaiian island
-Baby Moana is one of the cutest disney toddlers I’ve ever seen, the scene with her and the water shows her connection with the water itself that is supernatural and magical in its own right
I seriously cant WAIT for this movie…and the merchandise :D
