Moana and The Hero's Journey - explaining using the hero's journey stages in movies

In this series I will explain how the Hero's Journey stages in movies are used.
This episode is all about 'Moana'. I go through each stage explaining what is happening, why and how it relates to the Hero's Journey.

This is Golden!!! I was literally just watching Moana with my nephew and studying the heroes journey on my phone just for your video to pop up! Wow 🤩 🤯 This was sharply executed and the fact that you mentioned Maui’s journey that the viewer couldn’t see is rich!!!!!!!! I believe in the end, Maui saved Moana physically from Takaw. But Moana realized Takaw is Tafiti which I believe is a representation of Maui & Moana’s demons. Therefore, Moana saved her & Maui spiritually & restored balance by selflessness through the heart. Anyway, A+++++++++++++ !

Im so glad you liked the analysis. And yeah the fact Maui has his own journey going on didnt hit me until I really started to pull the story apart for this vid and thought it was so cool and clever. And you are right he certainly saved her physically but it was important for them at that moment that they did the things for each other not for their own selfish purposes. I think its why the movie resonates emotionally with so many folks.
