Tamatoa is a Coconut Crab
The way that this movie didn't have a villain and made healing the conflict resolution changed me forever
Oh wow. I never thought of it like that! Very true. Conflict was within. Deep stuff.
Maybe the villain was trauma. And how it can twist and alter our lives until things are unrecognizable. Te Kā is a great visual representation of that, and I get emotional every time the reveal happens.
yessss
Moana was the villian
@@jakekeeble8920 how ?
Fun fact: Moana setting and inspiration is from all the Polynesian cultures mixed together. Like for example, some of the songs are sang in Tokelauan language and the costumes has like a mixture of Samoan and Tongan traditional clothing..so its all blended together beautifully. And the character Maui has different interpretations and versions of him in every Polynesian culture.
Oh I love knowing this, thank you for sharing!
and moana means ocean in maori
@moanapiripi5273 yeah and also in other Polynesian counties as well..means either ocean or the color blue.
Yeah, I lived with Samoans for about fourteen months around the time this was released or at least announced and they were really excited about the songs in Samoan in it.
Facts
Remember this applies to all Polynesian cultures not just in Hawaiian religion, I don’t want be that person but this movie was such a big deal to us other small island countries then it’s always just called “Hawaii” even thought māui is covered in Māori tattoos (from New Zealand) as a kiwi myself no hate all love though just letting you guys know xx
Was also the first Disney movie that actually has a translation in Māori that was supported by Disney since they where using are culture for a movie ❤
No, be that person. I ain't even from the region and it was annoying to hear too.
there are even a few kiwi voice actors throughout the movie I notice straight away, like moana’s dad and the fisherman, even tamatoa- and as an australian the new zealand accent is even rly distinct from ours so not noticing it is interesting. may just be that kiwi actors get even less of a chance to use their real accents in mainstream hollywood films than us, so it isn’t recognised as kiwi in the US, etc.?
@@seesawseesaw It can be really hard for Americans to recognize the difference between the Aussie and Kiwi accents. It's probably what you're saying, that we just don't hear it frequently. I like Jermaine Clement, and the only reason I recognized the dad as New Zealander is because he really sounded like Taika Waititi to me.
It has some Melanesian elements in it too, the Kakamora is a legend from Solomon Islands and they’re definitely not made of coconuts, but actually the cultures of the pacific can sometimes overlap, like in my part of Melanesia we also believe we become sea creatures when we die.
Fun fact about newborn turtles: a big thing that's always made clear is that if you're going to help them find the water, you absolutely cannot carry them there. They have to find it on their own.
The scene at the beginning is essentially how Moanas journey ends up going out on the ocean. She may have been pointed in the right direction, but ultimately she had to do it on her own.
Oh! I did not know this! I would totally try to carry all the baby turtles I saw straight into the ocean! 😂😂🐢💕
@@priscillas4722 you can try and lead them there all you want. But no touching.
@@videohistory722 got it!👍…I shall resist! 😂
@@priscillas4722(i think the reason why is because they need to struggle across the sand to quickly build/ kickstart their muscles to be able to swim in the ocean. Pretty sure once they make it into the sea they dont return to land again until its time for breeding season!) i would also want to pick them all up and help them lol, but it just wouldnt help in the longrun
@@priscillas4722 the sad reality is if you do that they would have not survive long, cause it must he imprinted to them to know where to lay eggs its like it must be done to be coded in their minds
Love that Moana is her own hero in this movie, she really does so much and shows strength.
12:35 those are actually manta rays! you can tell by the fins at the front of their heads. they don’t sting and are actually very friendly
The song playing when Moana first gets the heart from the ocean as a toddler is incredibly meaningful. It’s to honor a group of young Polynesian girls that died in their school when it burned down. It’s so sad and beautiful💜
This movie was a masterpiece in every category, great songs, great voice acting, great story, and masterful animation.
I agree, it IS a masterpiece. I know people just like what they like but I'm surprised that something like Frozen is as popular as it is when Moana exists.
the reason the songs in this are so great is because they were mostly written by Lin Manuel-Miranda, the same guy who wrote the hit musical Hamilton. I am also a big fan of Shiny and thought I was one of the only people who is; I find that most people gravitate toward the other song but there's something about Shiny that speaks to me haha thanks for the reaction guys and happy belated birthday Bryce! (my birthday was May 16th so pretty close to yours)❤
Yes! If they like the music in this and Encanto, they definitely need to check out Hamilton sometime!! (Happy belated birthday. Mine was May 13th.) 😊
I especially love the Demo version of Shiny. It's quieter and more acoustic, and the words are a tad different. I also LOVE the unreleased song More which is a Moana song that never made it through the final cut.
@@MeganTheLibrarian3 thanks! and awesome, that's my brother's bday so happy belated to you as well! 😀
I love Shiny! It's my favorite song from the film and added to one of my playlists.
Yeah, I hardly ever came out of a movie with the songs placed in my mind so strongly from the beginning, with Moana that happened. In fact, something inside of me caused an uncontrollable cry when listening to We Know the Way
Fun fact: this is actually true! Polynesians DID stop wayfinding for a period of time, and nobody knows why.
Another fun fact: Moana is also loosely based around what is called The Long Pause where after rapid expansion Polynesian peoples just stopped travelling for almost 2,000 years!
The ocean chose Moana because of her HUMANITY.
Maui couldn’t do it, he's shoot first ask questions later.
The ocean couldn’t do it because water hurts Te Ka.
Fun fact, Polynesians discovered Aotearoa New Zealand. According to ancient Polynesian folklore, the North Island of NZ was named “The Great Fish of Maui”, the South Island was named “Maui’s Canoe” and Stewart Island was named “The Anchor Stone”. After the discovery of Greenstone (Jade) the South Island was given a second name “The Greenstone Waters”. It would be amazing to see a real movie “Maui’s Final Quest”. From birth, some of the amazing magical feats he accomplished, until his unfortunate demise. The Aotearoa NZ folklore stories handed down from generation to generation. Great reaction guys
Ahh now I know why I love Bryce's energy so much, we share a birthday! Happy late birthday my guy! Another great reaction!
Fun (Important Inclusion) Fact: The movie is set in Polynesia (not Hawaii) and fittingly, all the main cast voice actors in this movie have either Native Hawaiian, Polynesian, or Maori heritage. 🏝 🎬
Te Fitis island is based on a real one, and I can confirm it DOES look like a woman lying on her side.
I love that this movie was a blend of different Polynesian cultures. I grew up in an area with a lot of Filipino, Tongan, and Samoan influence so it was SO cool when this movie came out. I hope to make it to NZ one day.
Also melanesian..
Filipinos are Asian and have nothing to do with Moana
@@avilik13we have a small amount of Polynesian ethnicity within us, but you’re right, our culture and geography is southeast Asian. Filipinos who grow up in pacific islands tend to pick up the culture really quickly though. That might be what the OP is referring to.
The black patch her and grandma were dancing on the beach was a patch of black lava called pahoehoe (sounds like pa-hoy-hoy). I'm crazy lucky to live Hawai'i Island and the islands are made out of 2 types of lava.. the smoother kind that flows out in layers of ropy sheets (like the piece they're dancing on), and the other is a'a (sounds like ah-ah). It's gnarly, sharp, jagged stuff. So some beaches have smoother pahoehoe on them, others the rougher a'a (that the ocean smooths out to some degree, over time).
Happy birthday Bryce! Love your guy's videos 🌴😎🤙
Aloha from the Big Island 🌋
EDIT: Yes, i know the movie is not set on or in Hawai'i, specifically. But it suuuure looks like it haha ✌️
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing.
the heart WAS sustaining grandma, great catch!
The grandmother's death was the Call to Adventure, in the Campbell "Monomyth" vernacular: the event that demanded Moana's crossing of the threshold into her coming-of-age adventure.
This film is beautiful, and the music amazing.
Glad you guys took the time to watch it.
Te Fiti vs Te Ka
in either form she has to power of creation. Over time, lava flowing into the water will create new islands. But without the heart the power turns destructive
A happy birthday again to bryce. Too funny how zuff keeps insisting the water to help moana
“Grandmas always know when you have that special thing” that killed me for some reason 🤣🤣🤣
Auliʻi Cravalho (the voice actor playing Moana) made the choice not to play Moana in the live action as she believes someone better fitting Moana, a teen Polynesian girl, should play the character. She posted a video explaining herself.
Yes. Even more specifically, she said a Polynesian girl with the same features and skin color as Moana should be the one to represent the character in the live-action movie and she herself doesn’t actually fit that representation. It’s a very noble and meaningful choice for her to make ❤️
I think that's fair and a really powerful thing to do. I just hope they do get someone who fits that description!
@@hleebeg Keisha Castle Hughes could play her. She sings as well, and is of Polynesian descent herself.
Moana is supposed to be 16 though and Kiesha is in her 30s.
I like Eliana Su'a for her tbh
Teka is seriously the scariest creature in Disney of all time to me
im tongan (pacific islander) and this movie is definitely an all time fav for my huge family, we all love it sm they did so well representing us
One of the best decisions a Disney film has ever made was putting a glam rock song in a Disney princess film. 'Shiny' is so, so good on its own but amazing in context.
Lin wrote it with Jemaine Clement's David Bowie impression in mind. It's really fun listening to the demo, hearing Lin do Jemaine as Bowie!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that gets chills when Moana sings “I am Moana!” I love this movie so much, I have a Hei Hei and Pua Christmas ornament and a Pua plush. 🌊🐷🐔
37:37 I’m just realizing Maui being thrown could be a nod to Hera throwing Hephaestus off of Mt.Olympus😮
"There is nowhere you could go that I won't be with you" destroys me every time.
43:04 this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
"The reef stayed within our ancestors." 🤣🤣🤣
Moana is a family fave in our house! And we are all adults! LOL
Nothing wrong with appreciating a great film, regardless of age.
@@Alannameyers exactly !
‘Shiny’ is definitely my favorite song from Moana, it’s just so fun!
Fun fact: the sleeping woman island Tefiti is actually real, there's an island shaped like a sleeping woman i Polynesia
i will ALWAYS sob watching this movie, it just hits so different
one of my favorite movies as a polynesian woman :,)
NESIAN GANG UNITE 🌺💜🐳
The movie soundtrack for this is for sure one of Disney animations recent films best in a while also happy belated birthday Bryce
So the stories of Maui are part of New Zealand’s legends and myths and we have a Language here called Maori and the word Moana literally means Ocean and Heihei is the word for chicken and poa is short for poaka which means pork 😂😂😂
Pele and Maui are common in many Polynesian cultures. In Hawaii we are the Kanaka Maoli, and our language used to sound like the Kanaka Maori until the Missionaries came and changed our letters to represent K for T, L for R, to fit their printing of their bibles which then preached as their GOD that Hawaiians should listen to, and not their own. Our chicken is moa, like your huge flightless birds that became extinct. Our Pua'a is pig, like your poaka, while we use a glottal stop or 'okina to represent a missing consonant. You might still say Tahiti, while Hawaiians say Kahiki, you may say Tapa, but we say Kapa. You may say aroha, we say aloha.
I was told of New Zealand Maori elders who came to the Island of Hawai'i to the southern most point of the island, and they chanted a chant of where they came from. The came from a place called Hawaiki, where there were cliffs and mooring holes. If you go there, you will see the cliffs and the boulders along the shoreline that were drilled with holes in which to moor their canoes to. When the Maori elders saw these, they cried, as their chants were real, that they understood where they came from.
@@hankakah4180 oh my gosh isn’t it all so beautiful.. I just love it thank you for teaching me that today… 😁
the part where grandma comes back as a stingray gets me every time. always get chills!
this was made with the cultures of pasifika, not just polynesian, but a common thing with the pacific is every culture and country has a connection or close tie with the ocean, especially because our ancestors were voyagers. The fact of our ancestors being voyagers also kinda explain why a lot of islanders now are buff or thick, because it's in our genes that we had to have the right body and so on to withstand the cold back then
This (and tangled) are the best modern Disney movies
Yep, “Tangled” is a great movie. Very rewatchable.
So glad y’all liked this. The relationship between Moana and the ocean was so cool
the heart was keeping her alive this whole time. Hence why she passes away not long after giving it to Moana.
I think that the ending of healing and message of returning to their heritage is so powerful
I literally love this movie, I've always felt so connected to water and love being in the water so it was fun to see a movie that has a girl connected with the water
I loved this reaction!!! Moana is one of my fave disney movies as a Polynesian person (Māori) my middle name is actually Moana too 🤭 Its so cool to see elements of my culture being represented by such a big animation studio like disney and it was the first disney film to be fully translated into my native language!
They actually have a fantastic reason for not casting her in the live-action movie. But she is now the executive producer and will help find the perfect Moana 😁.
Rob singing is an absolute vibe
Happy belated Birthday Bryce 🎉
Disney and Pixar movies make me wanna cry no matter how many times I watch them
Love this film so much. Shiny is such a great song, Lin Manuel Miranda said he wrote it thinking of David Bowie and Jermaine Clements really delivers on it 😊.
Something you missed at 50:11 you can see the magic golden flower from Tangled !
Pua was the cutest!! 🥰 I always wished he also went with Moana on her adventure so we could have seen more of him! 🐷💕 Shiny was my youngest sis fav song too!🤭 ...she demanded we set it as her alarm in the morning for school lol we woke up to Shiny every morning for months! 😅
This movie makes me cry every time. It came out when I felt just as stuck as Moana did in the beginning. She was so brave to choose to leave and learn. I did the same and am so happy to kind of felt heard / seen by this movie. The ending also always gets me. Losing a part of your heart can turn you in a completely different person and finding your way back to your old self can be so so hard. This movie is full of incredible meanings. It holds a special place in my heart ❤️
This was such a great pick, Bryce. Now your birthday is coming up again. Can't wait to see what you've chosen this year 🎉
There is a natural explanation for why they are having food problems on the island that is not just the legend of the Maui feud. The island hoppers were wise to the needs of their Earth, they knew that they must allow the fish and the soil to replenish and repopulate by constantly moving from island to island. It was necessary activity for living in harmony and to maintain balance with nature.
Moana is my favorite Disney movie now. Growing up it was the Little Mermaid. I have always been drawn to the ocean and the water. The love of the water, paired with love of family is perfection for me, plus I had a very special relationship with my Nan, so that always gets me. Tied up in a beautiful Lin-Manuel Miranda bow. :) His music is outstanding. I love every project he touches, and I am excited to see the new Little Mermaid when I can, but will need to wait until its streaming.
My 45 year old self was obsessed with this movie when I saw it for the first time. Love the story and the songs, and the visuals are stunning. It's such a beautiful movie.
Fun fact: traditional wayfinding is still practiced even today!
One of my favorite channels. Thanks for your endless positivity.
0:27 OMG all these are great choices bryce 👍🔥
Can't waittt
I absolutely adore that at every step of the way along this movie there is a reoccuring theme of women helping women and it just makes my heart so full
I agree. I’m so sick of girls being pitted against each other and girl fights. Women supporting women. By the way, I love your username. I’m a big lover of squirrels and I happen to love the Marvel Comics character Squirrel Girl.
Happy Birthday! This is one of my favorites ❤ I hope you all enjoyed it!!!
I'm 60, a mom and grandma. Watching you react to this is so fun.. It's one of my favorite movies. I feel like I want to make you beef stew and feed you ice cream.
The song "we know the way" actually starts in Samoan, the first corus is in Tokelauan, then the second half is in english.
The fact I love this movie so much:
1. Moana is a girl boss!
2. The sea and ocean animation is so amazing!
3. All the songs are so good!
I mean I watched Moana in an empty theater for my 21st birthday 🥳 🎉
That sounds like an amazing birthday.
Happy belated birthday Bryce. the giddy , feelgood wholesomeness is definitely something one should be surrounded by on their bday.
Grave of the Fireflies is gonna wreck you guys haha have fun with that one 😝
Wait what?! Bryce had 'Grave of the Fireflies' on his b-day watch list?! Bryce is a keeper! Obviously he knows his classic Anime. A little dark for celebrating - but Bryce is sooo cute and obviously smart.
LMFAO "She's getting huge... no offense" 49:15
The Wayfinder was originated from my country Micronesia which is like a cousin to Polynesia and Hawaii. We are a small country and undeveloped so it’s not known well.
do yk that theres an actual island in thailand that looks like te fiti at 49:28
Holy! I wasn't expecting this and got a pleasant surprise when I saw the notification. >:) thanks guys! Now i have another movie reaction to watch and relate to.
Also! Happy belated birthday Bryce!
Guys, its not "Hawai'ian", its Polynesian culture. I am going to rack it up to a lack of knowledge/ignorance but its annoying with the major misnomers in the vid.
Relax
You can educate without being an asshole it’s not hard
@@shania991 sure Jan

Happy belated birthday Bryce! I’m the 12th May so close to yours. Hope you had a great day and glad you enjoyed the movie.

37:39 that's not even the half of it. All of his accomplishments he was bragging about earlier? Done under the gods orders to prove his worth.
Loved your reaction to Moana its such a stunning movie I am not sure if you know but after the credits run the Crab has another small bit at the end, its silly but funny, have a great day guys 😊

You guys are great! I love this reaction!!
Thank you so much for reacting to Moana❤❤I'm from the Pacific and I'm a Polynesian islander 🏝️🤙🤙 a lot of elements here are inspired from the different cultures of the Pacific🌊🌊Te Fiti the Mother Island is inspired from Huahine an island from my country French Polynesia 🏝️🇵🇫 one of its mountain has the shape of a pregnant woman lying down🤰⛰️and the name of the village surrounding it is "Fitii"✨✨Lalotai is inspired from what we called "Te Pō" the world of Gods and Supernatural✨✨good and evil supernatural creatures live there👻😈🧜🧚
Ah oui, j'ai entendu parler de cette île.
En Polynésie vous avez la VF ou la VO du film ?
D'ailleurs, petite anecdote : la vf de Vaiana est également la doubleuse d'Halle Bailey dans le live action de " La petite sirène "
