Moana

In the beginning, there was the ocean

until she emerged, our mother earth

Te Fiti

Her heart had the power to create life

and Te Fiti shared it with the world

Then, there were those who were ambitious to seize that heart

because they believed that if they possessed it

the power of creation would belong to them

And one day

the most reckless sailor set sail

across the vast ocean to seize it

He was a demigod of the wind and sea,

A warrior

A trickster

A shapeshifter

who could shapeshift using his magical hook

And his name was Maui.

He was already raging before we arrived, right?

But without her heart

Te Fiti crumbled and birthed a monstrous creature

Then he tried to flee

but was confronted by another creature

that was also hunting the heart. Te Ka

a demon of earth and fire

Then he was cast down from the sky

vanished without a trace

and his magical hook

as well as the heart of Te Fiti were lost swallowed by the sea

where even now, 1000 years later,

The demon of the deep sea is still obsessed with hunting that heart

hiding in the darkness that continues to spread

sucking the life from island to island

until we are all devoured by that bloodthirsty one

the jaws of death that are impossible to avoid.

One day, that heart will be found

by someone

who will sail beyond our reef,

find Maui

bring him across the great ocean

to restore the heart of Te Fiti

and save us all

Wow, wow, wow, wow

Thank you, Mother

Father -There she is

As you all know

no one is allowed beyond the reef

You are safe here

There is no darkness or monsters

Monster!

I said there are no monsters

As long as you stay on this island

you will be just fine

The legend is real, child

Don't worry, I'll help you

Shoo, shoo, go away!

Leave her

Want to go to the sea

Yes, me too

Wow

Moana?

Moana?

Moana?

Moana, we're not going there, it's dangerous

Moana, listen there is nothing outside the reef

except storms and fierce waves

Moana?

Mother is here.

Here is my little adventurer

You are important, dear

And our future great chief

And you will do extraordinary things

Can I play in the water

No

Never go beyond the reef

Come on

First, you must understand your origins

-Moana? -Father

I wasn't planning on going there

Just doing my daily canoe inspection

Walk with me, Moana!

I've wanted to bring you here

since the moment you opened your eyes

This is a secret place

The place of the chiefs

Soon you will be an adult

And place a stone on this mountain like I did

Like my father,

and his mother

and every chief who has ever been

And on that day, when you place your stone

you will lift this island higher

You are the future of our people, Moana

And our people are not out there

They are here

Time to prepare to be the person they need

Hello, HeiHei

Quiet!

Pua?

Thank you very much

We need to re-examine the meaning of the word QUIET

Alright, let's try this stone business,

this one says, DILIGENT

-Which garden? -Over there

It's getting worse

We must cut down the diseased trees, replant

Let me know if you find any others

Leader of the people

This fish is funny

This is critical, Pua

This is forever

What's wrong?

It's not just the coconuts now

The fish catch too

We have combed the entire lagoon

There are no fish

they're all gone

I remember when my grandmother led

Storms drove the fish away for weeks

but they had a supply of salted fish and coconuts

They were ready to wait until the fish returned

and the fish did return

There is no storm, and even so

the lagoon is never empty

There must always be a way out

we just need to find it

Ouch.

If the lagoon is empty

How about fishing further out

Beyond the reef

No one is allowed beyond the reef

But if the coconuts are dying and the fish are gone

Moana!

-And we are surrounded by problems -We have 1 rule

A rule for when there was still food

-The rule that keeps us safe -We must act

I refuse to endanger the people

So you allow running into the water?

Moana?

Mother thought you'd be here

I'm not telling us to go beyond the reef

because I want to play on the beach

Mother knows

But you will understand

I'm trying to be what the people need

What Father needs

It seems that's not enough for Father

He was exactly like you, Moana

-Father? -Hmm

Captivated by the sea

Ignoring the warning not to go beyond the reef

He took a canoe

Beyond the reef and saw an invisible danger

Mountains of waves

His cousin begged to go on that boat
