Moana (2016) is a captivating Disney animated film that takes audiences on an unforgettable journey across the Pacific Ocean. The story follows Moana Waialiki (voiced by Auli’i Cravalho), a brave and adventurous Polynesian girl who dreams of exploring the world beyond her island home of Motunui. When her island faces an environmental crisis, Moana sets out on a daring quest to find the demigod Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson) and restore the heart of Te Fiti, which is believed to bring prosperity to the islands.

Along the way, Moana learns valuable lessons about leadership, identity, and the importance of following her heart. With Maui’s help (and occasional hindrance), Moana discovers her true purpose as a leader of her people. Moana is visually stunning, with vibrant animation that brings the ocean and the island world to life. Its powerful soundtrack, including the iconic song “How Far I’ll Go,” amplifies the film’s themes of bravery and self-determination. The film is an inspiring tale of courage and adventure, showing that the greatest strength lies in embracing who you truly are.
