Voice of the Legion: The movement of "Shiny" where he shuts off his cave, begins glowing, and gives Maui a Break Them by Talking moment by tearing into his past also gives him a second, more demonic voice layered on top of his singing voice. At the Magic Kingdom, Moana appears in the nighttime spectacular Happily Ever After, where she performs " How Far I'll Go". Good Parents: They both are encouraging (except when it comes to sailing) to Moana and have immense pride in their daughter. Moana is the third official Disney Princess to be computer animated, preceded by Rapunzel and Merida.

Nigh-Invulnerable: Maui might have torn off one of his legs in the past, but in the film, nothing Maui does hurts him at all. Other Princesses: Minnie Mouse • Tiger Lily • Maid Marian • Eilonwy • Leia Organa • Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka • Calla • Daughters of Triton • Megara • Melody • Sally • Kida Nedakh • Ting-Ting, Su, and Mei • Kilala Reno • Kairi • Princess of Gentlehaven • Nancy Tremaine • Vanellope von Schweetz • Sofia • Anna • Elsa • Elena • Carla Veloso Other Heroines: Alice • Wendy Darling • Tinker Bell • Sunni Gummi • Nala • Nakoma • Esmeralda • Jane Porter • Giselle • Mirabel Madrigal • Mei Lee Entertainment: "A Whole New World" A Magical Disney Songbook • Moana: A Homecoming Celebration • Rivers of Light: We Are One Principles Zealot: When Moana brings up the idea of fishing beyond the deserted lagoon, Tui refuses to listen to his daughter's fair argument, going so far as to accuse her of using the fish shortage as an excuse to go sailing.

A Mighty Girl

During the scene in Tamatoa's cave where she's trying to distract Tamatoa with the made-up story that she came because he was amazing and wanted to know how he became so "crabulous". Tamatoa only "buys it" because it gives him a chance to talk about himself. Tomboy Princess: A downplayed example. The Chief's daughter is athletic, acrobatic and would prefer to sail the ocean and explore. At the same time, she also partakes in her culture's tribal dancing and is learning the skills to be a good chief under her father's tutelage. Spectacular Spinning: At one point during his beat-down of Maui, Tamatoa puts him on his shell and spins around so fast that Maui is flung off to crash onto the ground. Badass Adorable: They look like cute little coconut pygmy people... until they draw their war faces, break out their weapons, and reveal giant war boats that would make the Doof Warrior proud. 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.

Well Done, Daughter!" Gal: Downplayed. Moana doesn't actively seek her parents' approval throughout the movie since her parents constantly praise her and her actions. However, during her "I Am" Song, Moana makes a brief lament about how she has trouble being the "perfect daughter" since her desire to travel on the seas is against the law, especially by her father. Moana • Maui • Gramma Tala • Chief Tui • Sina • Heihei • Pua • Mini Maui • Tamatoa • Kakamora • Te Fiti/Te Kā • Ocean • Matai Vasa Abusive Parents: He was not born a demigod, he was made one. His human parents were so callous that they disposed of their baby Maui by tossing him in the ocean. The Gods, however, weren't going to have any of that and gave him divine powers. No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: When he realizes Maui cannot use his hook the way he used to, the supernatural crab takes full advantage of his giant size to whale on him, all while singing about how amazing he is. Never Be Hurt Again: Implied to be one of the reasons he stringently forbids Moana from going to the ocean. He already lost his best friend and he wasn't going to lose his daughter also.

Once Done, Never Forgotten: Maui was the greatest of heroes, a legend in his own time. He was responsible for just about every natural phenomenon. You name it, he probably did it. A thousand years later, the only thing anyone remembers about him is that he stole the heart of Te Fiti, bringing a terrible darkness upon the world. Super-Toughness: Even without his fishhook, he's superhumanly tough, surviving being thrown around by giant monsters and sprinting along literal magma with nothing more than scalded feet. Character Catchphrase: "CHEE-HOO!" It should be noted that this is actually a Hawaiian expression of excitement, Maui just uses it a lot. Early-Bird Cameo: He briefly shows up alongside other monsters in Gramma Tala's story at the start of the film, and Maui's tattoo of him is pointed out for a split second during "You're Welcome".
