Biography
Over the five years it took to develop and produce the film, Clements and Musker
recruited experts from across the South Pacific to form an Oceanic Story Trust, who
consulted on the film's cultural accuracy and sensitivity as the story evolved through
nine versions. The Trust responded negatively, for example, to a depiction of Maui as
bald, and to a proposed scene in which Moana threw a tantrum by throwing coconuts.
In response, Maui was reworked with long hair and the coconut scene was scrapped.
Resume
A thousand years later, the ocean chooses Moana, daughter of Motunui's chief Tui, to return the heart to
Te Fiti. Tui and Sina, Moana's father and mother, try to keep her away from the ocean to prepare her to
become the island's chief. Sixteen years later, a blight strikes the island, killing vegetation and shrinking
the fish catch. Moana suggests going beyond the island's reef with her pet pig, Pua, to find more fish and
find out what is happening, but Tui forbids it. Moana tries conquering the reef but is overpowered by the
tides and shipwrecked back to Motunui. That afternoon, Moana's grandmother, Tala, shows her a secret
cave of ships, revealing that their people were voyagers until Maui stole Te Fiti's heart; the ocean was no
longer safe without it. Tala explains that Te Kā's darkness is poisoning the island, but can be cured if
Moana finds Maui and has him restore the heart of Te Fiti. Having been given the heart of Te Fiti by the
ocean, Tala gives it to Moana. Tala later falls ill and, on her deathbed, tells Moana that she must depart to
find Maui.
