Finding one's true purpose often requires courage and a journey beyond familiar boundaries.
"Moana" is a vibrant animated odyssey that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the power of self-discovery, as a young girl embarks on a quest to restore her island's vitality. With its stunning visuals and rich cultural roots, this film invites viewers to explore the depths of identity and heritage while inspiring hope and resilience.
Moana Waialiki is a sea voyaging enthusiast and the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. When her island's fishermen can't catch any fish and the crops fail, she learns that the demigod Maui caused the blight by stealing the heart of the goddess, Te Fiti. The only way to heal the island is to persuade Maui to return Te Fiti's heart, so Moana sets off on an epic journey across the Pacific. The film is based on stories from Polynesian mythology.
