    The touching of noses, as you pointed out (it's a Disney movie, so she can do that to a demon), actually is the greeting used in Hawaiian/Polynesian traditions. "Aloha" means "breath of life". When you greet someone, you touch noses to "share" the breath of life.... so Moana respectfully greeted Te Ka with the traditional greeting and Te Ka responded in such. As Moana and Te Fiti did the same as the parted. (Aloha being both a hello and a goodbye. ;))

    Te Fiti and Te Ka's reveal is among my favorite moments in a movie. Cause when I made the connection, I was just so impressed and surprised. Volcanoes are a big part of islands, ocean life, and Polynesian life. They bring death and destruction when they erupt, but at the same time volcanic soil is amazing for farming and creates many of the islands and the life on them. Its the perfect example of a God/Goddess of Life who can also become a God/Goddess of death. It even makes sense when Te Fiti goes to sleep...as in a volcano sleeping. And it makes so much sense when you realize that is what Te Ka was. Te Ka was Te Fiti, but the destructive side of her. One of the greatest moments in writing, honestly, and I'm still impressed by that bit of this movie to this day.
    Also, note Maui lingering around Moana's boat as an eagle at the end. I think he'll always have a friend in her, and that's really what he always needed. A person that cared for him, and not just what he could do for them.

    “They don’t seek more, they don’t want more.” Many Asian and Polynesian cultures in the old days had the mentality of “Only take what you need.” In this way, they gave their environment a chance to heal and replenish their resources-it was also practiced because it was a way of survival. While that mentality is still practiced, it is not nearly as widespread today.

      One of the more common theories is technological advancement - you have to develop a new type of boats - you can reach the western isles with an outrigger canoe, but need a double-hulled canoe for the longer voyages across the Pacific. Or it could have been wind patterns shifting.

    Imo Moana has one of the best soundtrack. I also loved how Moana saved the world without needing a love interest, giving up on her identity, or thinking she could do it herself. It's also subverts the trope of needing a strong man to do everything for a strong girl. They both needed each other, and in the end, she became a master in her own right.

    Alan Tudyk has recently starred in quite a few Disney movies and movies based on properties owned by Disney. He plays the antagonistic Duke of Weselton in Frozen, the criminal Duke Weaselton in Zootopia (yes, it's a joke about his Frozen character), and he plays the droid K2-SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

    The ocean couldn't give the heart to the island because the island was made of lava and would avoid the ocean, Maui was afraid of the heart so he wouldn't do it so the ocean needed to get a sailor but the islanders didn't want to leave so the ocean chose Moana instead

    The story behind the movie is a sort of explanation for an actual historical event in Polynesian history known as “The Long Pause.” Seafaring people first colonized the islands of Western Polynesia…the ones closest to New Guinea, New Zealand, and Australia…approximately 3,500 years ago. These include the islands of Tonga, Fiji, and Samoa, where Moana is set. There is evidence that the Polynesian people were expert wayfarers and they constructed large boats that were capable of crossing vast distances on the ocean. But once the spread of colonization reached Samoa and Fiji, it seems that all ocean exploration suddenly ceased for about 2,000 years. Anthropologists call this period “The Long Pause.” Between 1,500 and 500 years ago, the Polynesians took up their oars again and re-started their colonization of the Central and Eastern Polynesian islands, including Hawaii and Tahiti. In fact, in a relatively short time, they colonized nearly every island in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
    While there is clear evidence that The Long Pause occurred, no one really knows why and there is no written record of it. This has been a mystery to archaeologists and anthropologists since the ancient Polynesians had a proven track record of ocean-faring excellence. They were able to construct impressive boats and navigate the ocean using only stars and ocean currents to guide them. Yet they suddenly stopped sailing.
    Some of the theories put forth by researchers to explain the cause of The Long Pause include sustained El Nino winds and ocean disasters, such as tidal waves. Researchers studying The Long Pause ran computer weather simulations, factoring in a sustained El Nino set up. They determined that the El Nino pattern would have created very strong winds around Tonga and Samoa that would have been extremely difficult to maneuver around in the ancient sail vessels used by the Polynesians because prior to that the voyagers would have enjoyed a helpful wind that pushed them toward Tonga, Vanuatu and Samoa. Their sailing techniques and equipment was set up for voyaging with the wind. However, these techniques were no longer effective at sailing against the strong El Nino winds. Unable to go any further, the Polynesians stopped voyaging.
    No one is certain why the Polynesians ended The Long Pause and resumed their wayfaring ways either, but there are a few plausible theories. One theory notes that the strong sustained El Nino winds had begun to shift and weaken, removing the obstacle to sailing. Another theory is that an algae bloom caused a decline in the fish population near the islands and the Polynesians were forced to find food further away from their islands.
    These are all ideas that Disney wove into the story of Moana, giving a cause for why it had become to dangerous to sail, as well as giving a series of natural disasters to the islands that forced the people to look beyond their reef for more food, shelter, and other resources.

    Good ear, yes a Kiwi, Tem Morrison. The folklore of Maui & Moana stretches all the way through P:olynesia cultures as far down to New Zealand Maori. It's a shared lore, a shared oral history of our ancestors that connects us all. I absolutely love this movie! I was teaching in China when it released and Chinese kids loving all things Disney, it enabled me a way to share some of the Maori folklore I grew up with, in New Zealand.
    I was constantly singing along with the songs in the headset, it got to the point the the entire teachers office would be lit up with us all singing the sound track toegther, it spilled over to our students and their parents who would download the movie for their children to learn so they could sing with us. It got to the point that if anyone said "thank you" for anything, there would be a chorus of "you're welcome", in response. This movie vibed life & energy into our school. One of my most treasured memories of my years teaching there.

    I wish my mother could have seen this movie. She lived in Hawai’i briefly, as a girl in the 1930s, and also traveled a little around the South Pacific generally (Fiji, Samoa, etc.) with her family. They left Hawai’i and returned to the mainland because they knew war with Japan was coming. But it really got under her skin; she loved it more than any place she ever lived, and always wanted to go back but was never able to. I can’t see this movie without thinking of her and missing her.
    24:51 - Tamatoa’s song is sung in the style of the late great David Bowie.
    38:29 - Maui is a trickster-hero who is part of Polynesian mythology throughout the South Pacific, from the Maori to the Hawai’ians. The island of Maui within the Hawai’ian archipelago is named after the mythological Maui (or, more precisely, is named after someone who was named after the mythological Maui).
    42:09 - Disney has announced plans for a Moana spinoff tv series, but it’s a couple of years off.

Add to the fact that no one has sailed in a long time and no one, not even Moana knew how to sail, at first, and she was the chosen one. Sooo.... 1 point to the responsible adults 😅
