The mythological Kakamora sound an awful lot like Homo Floresienses to me. Nicknamed hobbits, these diminutive early hominids are known to have lived on the island of Flores in Indonesia. It is possible that they actually shared the island with modern humans for a time and that descriptions of them survive in local legends. The fossil record of this species is incredibly limited, but it could be possible that the hobbits, or a similar species, migrated across Polynesia or simply remained a part of the legends brought eastwards across the Pacific by Polynesians originating from areas where Homo Floresienses lived.
The "possum" in the chili you had was actually an opossum. The possum that the Kakamora eat are a totally different animal more closely related to kangaroos. Same name, different hemispheres, different animal.
You know have you ever wondered why they were on a boat, yes it may be the movie creators just making it up but what if the darkness (sorry forgot what it was called) engulfed their island and were forced to sail the sea and became pirates to survive
Very much possible. It would explain the enormous size of the boat. And the fact that they are pirates. They steal stuff so that they can live on that. But then, how would Maui know of their existence? The darkness spread after he stole the heart of Te fiti and after that he ended up on an island, so how would he know?
Well Maui IS over a thousand years old. We have no idea how he got to the island. Additionaly he was not the only one after the heart. By the premise of the movie, the kakatora already knew of the heart and wanted it. SO it very possible he could have run into them before the events of the movie.
I mean if anything it makes more sense why they have white on them at all. As far as they're concerned it makes them look terrifying, and therefore very intimidating
Wait a minute... Rachael... I didn’t realize! I thought that he literally said the color of some random fruit/ vegetable (do coconuts have seeds?) just because he thought he had made a ground breaking discovery! Thank you, kind ma’am, for teaching me such valuable information.
What about Maui's parents. I think that discovering who they are would make a good video, also I've been wondering this question since the movie came out.
zachary berg in Polynesian culture, Maui's parents were Gods. He also had four brothers. Maui was shipped out to sea by his mother, but only because she thought he was stillborn. But he was alive, and the ocean spirits raised him. By the time he became of age, he returned to his family. You might want to fact check me on that though.
In the movie though he tells Moana that he was born as a mortal, but his mom and dad didn't want him so they threw him into the ocean where the Gods found him.
@@TheAngelmisa Yeah that Titanic movie was really insensitive. That title, Titanic The Legend Lives On, is a red flag from the beginning, and then they dismiss the deaths like they're nothing, not to mention that freaky guy at the start who something like "hope it's a smooth ride"
I watched Pocahontas the first and second movie and did quite a bit of research Disney definitely did sugarcoat the tragic events and what happened in Pocahontas life. But they also Disneyfy most every movie they come out with so I’m not surprised but yes it does bother me that some of the movies Disney makes isn’t more accurate and sticks to what actually happeneds then again they don’t want to give kids nightmares.
OMG!!!!! BAYMAX HAS BECOME A COCONUT!!!!! NOW WE KNOW WHERE BAYMAXES DEAD BODY WENT IN THE PORTAL IN THE BIGHERO6 MOVIE!!!!!!!! Edit: Btw I'm not gonna lie I was being sarcastic
This was fun! Thanks for making it and delving into the lore! In Hawaiian mythology we have a similar lore, we call them Menehune (pronounced Men-eh-hoo-neh). They are tricksters mainly, but can be dangerously mischievous. Tiny hobbit people. Fun stuff!
I don't think random coconut warrior willing to fight againt the God, Maoi was atleast demi/half-god himself and he lost his magical hook in attemp to ran away.
Did you guys see the flower from Tangled in Moana? After Moana restores the heart of Tafiti near the end of the movie, the screen zooms to her island. To the sides you can see flowers and other plants that the camera is supposedly traveling past. Although it is very quick, a yellow and purple flower like the main flower in Tangled can be seen if you look really hard (at least I'm pretty sure... I saw it, but I've only seen Moana once...) Anyways, I feel like this means something. When Tafiti was reunited with her heart, did it release a lot of healing magic, which was captured in the flowers and plants it generated? I know there's a long period of time between the two movies, but maybe that species of flower in particular kept its magical qualities for some reason.... Also, this may be a stretch, but it is unknown how long Mother Gothel kept herself young with the flower before Rapunzel's father found it.... Although it probably was not that long, as Mother Gothel wears clothes specifically from the Renaissance period (still much after the events in Moana). And I know the movies are not in the same geographical areas, but the main island of Hawaii has several climate zones, including those found in Europe. Then why can't the island Moana was living on have several climate zones too? The plants may have been able to survive near where the events in Tangled took place. Either way, in the movie, it said that Rapunzel's father's men had to travel very far to retrieve the flower, so they could have gotten it really from anywhere. (They wouldn't have been able to travel to the Pacific and back before Rapunzel's mother ran out of time, I assume, but the flower could have survived somewhere closer to Europe) I know in Tangled, they said the flower was created by a drop of sun falling from the sky, but maybe it was just a metaphor? Maybe when the Heart of Tafiti was reunited with the earth, it was like a drop of sun? Or maybe a drop of sun (or something like it) actually did hit the flower, awakening the ancient magic stored in the flower since Tafiti awoke and created that wave of Life energy... This is a really loose theory, but I hope you continue to look into it, as I am only amateur theorist. I would be honored if you even bothered to read this comment. :D Your fan (and friend), Calliope :D
Emma Haas Thanks for the actual wording... I wasn't really sure on that, lol. It could still work if Tafiti's power somehow created a magical drop of sun that either created the flower or landed on an existing flower (which is still part of the earth, right?).
Maybe when Maui lassoed the sun it knocked off a little bit? Te Fiti had already given her gift of Life to everyone before Maui came along so maybe she had already created that flower and it just bloomed again when her heart was restored. It could be possible that the flower that caught the sun drop was far enough away that it wasn't affected by the spreading darkness? Or harnessing the sun's power protected it from the darkness. Nice theory!

Anna and Elsa's parents who had two children while they were on the boat (Maui is actually Tarzan's secret twin!) but Maui got separated from his family when he was accidentally thrown overboard during the shipwreck and floated all the way to Polynesia … *THIS IS THE REASON MAUI LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE RAPUNZEL YOU GUYS*

THEORY: Maui is the Polynesian equivalent of a siren from Greek Mythology. Most myth was used to explain why things happened. Perhaps sirens were used to explain sea mirages. Who knows? Back to Maui. See, Maui is more complex than we initially think. He is cunning and somewhat manipulative, able to lure Moana into a cave and seal her in without her even realizing it. How did he do that? This is where the siren idea comes into play. Sirens are known for singing sailors to their inevitable destruction, much like Maui used his own song of “You’re Welcome” to trap Moana in that cave. Remember, Moana knew him as evil and tricky. Yet she still wound up in that cave. Maybe she just liked the song? Maybe, but I find that unlikely. I believe that throughout Maui’s song, there are three things that caused him to manipulate Moana: his TATTOO, a BLANKET he pulled from nowhere, and TAPPING ON A COCONUT. Once he throws the BLANKET in Moana’s face, the background is no longer the beach. Rather, the background resembles the pattern on a blanket. Thus, Maui has begun a deeper portion of the Siren’s song. Another clue is the COCONUT Maui taps on. This is when the real magic begins. Although seemingly insignificant, the moment in which he is tapping the coconut is the moment right before Moana starts hallucinating. We KNOW she hallucinates because Maui gives her fruits that turn out to be rocks and seaweed. Hallucinations are similar to how sirens work. They make you see what you want to see. If you do not believe the coconut is involved, look closely at Moana’s face and eyes. Her eyes shift up to Maui’s face, but from where. She was either looking at his tattoos or the coconut. Look close enough, and you will see that the angle matches the position of the coconut. Notice how the background shifts from solid pattern to not-so-solid pattern. The background almost resembles Maui’s TATTOOS. Even the imaginary people match the style of his tattoos. Whenever Maui is with Moana, he tells her not to sing. A little odd considering how he was the first to sing out of the two of them. Moana does not sing while Maui is with her. In fact, Moana sings immediately AFTER he leaves, not once, but TWICE. She sings with her grandma, and she sings to the lava monster. Both times, Maui is nowhere to be seen. Please tell me what you think.
David Smith This is an amazing theory! But why would Maui mind Moana's singing? (I haven't seen Moana, but I like Greek mythology and I don't recall the Sirens being defeated/destroyed by singing...)
David Smith The character Maui was actually made based off of the polynesian belief of the god Maui. Polynesians believe that Maui actually pulled up a island (the island Maui which is in hawaii and they say it's named after himself) he also stopped the sun from going too fast and even stole fire. This is all explained in the song your welcome. I know about this because I go to an hawaiian school and when i was young wayyyy before moana came out i learned about Maui the god. I don't personally think that he is true but this is what hawaiians and polynesians believe and this is where they got the idea of the character Maui. He isn't just a made up character by Disney but is actually a well known myth by polynesians which was made centuries ago. So i thought that i would just put it out there. 👍🏻
Currently playing Disney Dreamlight Valley and remembered this video! In the game, Ursula has a quest where you need to get a seashell from Moana-When you talk to Moana she asks if Ursula can be trusted and actually says "Yeah, she reminds me of a giant crab I met... I hope you don't get caught in whatever she's up to."
Hey Brothers! There has been nagging feeling after watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, was merope guant ever an obscurity? Now I get that anyone that does not practice magic and is thought to be a squib is NOT an obscurial, however in the half-blood prince, Dumbledore "guesses" that Merope after freeing Tom Riddle Sr from her love potions, she never lifted her wand again. Not only that, during her upbringing Merope was harassed by her own family, like Credence in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is this sound evidence for the Merope is an obscurial theory?
I was watching Moana and posted on Facebook about how I was now curious about Polynesian myth and what are the coconut pirates -- and my friend led me to your video!! You answered my exact question about Moana! And I love your videos!!
Is there a reason that Riley from inside out says the same thing at the start of the film when she stuffs a cookie into her dads mouth in the intro as boo from monsters inc does in the goodbye scene
@SuperCarlinBrothers I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!!! I just saw the new Beauty and the Beast movie and it was AMAZING! If you have seen it... who is Agatha and how does Belle's father recognize her? @SuperCarlinBrothers I have another question... What do you think about the new Beauty and the Beast movie compared to the old one? I know there were some changes and added facts (like Belle's mother.) What do you think?
Yeah there's no way in hell, vid was uploaded 55 minutes ago and there's comments from 45 minutes ago talking about the strike, primadonnas at Disney lol
me: haven't even seen a movie watch theories about and learn about everything and when i finally watch it with family or something i act like i know nothing about it
I think it would be cool to discuss why Moana's grandmother wasn't chosen to return the heart of Te Fiti when she was younger. I mean... she loved the sea she knew the legend she is feisty enough to deal with Maui she probably knew the ocean as she was aware that it was alive .... so why did the sea choose Moana? not that I'm complaining it has just baffled me.
Mint45 I meeeean... XD though for all we know, Disney didn't even think of that XD but at least that would give room for fan theories and speculation. Maybe something happened to Moanas grandma like what happened to Moana when she was younger, and like Moana she only thought it was a dream but didn't have anyone to witness what happened and pick up the heart, so when she realized it wasn't a dream she was too old to be able to do anything, or the ocean already chose someone else. Maybe Moana when she was born, or the same thing happened to Moanas father. He loved the ocean too, but he was later scared away from it.
Maybe the grandmother was given a "test" as a young child like Moana was. (The ocean let her choose between a pretty shell and saving a turtle and she chose the turtle. That was when the ocean came to life and started playing with her and rewarded her the shell.) Maybe the grandmother didn't pass the test. Or maybe she did but she was held back by the duties of being married to the chief? Maybe they'll explain in a second movie 😉
the trick that you said they play actually sounds incredibly terrifying. could you imagine being lost in the jungle, and then that happening? it you were brave enough to follow the sound when you thought there wasn't anyone else but you (and maybe your crew), not even a village near by.... and then you hear crying? and if you do investigate, instead of finding a baby/young child you find a small person with sharp claws, bloodied and beaten, that laughs at you when you approach... then a chorus of small laughter comes from around you...
I always thought it was really weird that Kakamora fought against Maui cause they were coconuts and he created coconuts, so that they aren’t actually coconuts explains a lot
actually, I thought the lyrics of "You're Welcome" explained the Kakamora, thought it was canon that actually Maui killed a giant evil eel that was bringing terror upon a village, the village was also starving so maui buried the eel's guts and grew a tree out of them to feed the village, the tree sprouted coconuts, but the bad thing is that since the coconuts where made out of evil guts, they turned into evil kakamoras.
Stari_Cat he looks over as Ben or who ever walks by or something but I think he sees it I saw the same thing and went to the comments to see if anyone else saw it lol
There are a lot of key differences, but I think it's mainly the nose and lips that make them look similar, because most women in the movie share these distinct, chunky islander-style features.
Maybe because they have features that are different from the ones we are used to, we can't see the differences that good? Like when european say that all chinese people look the same? But for me they look very similar, too
As a Polynesian, it is frustrating to have legends or stories I grew up hearing misrepresented. Disney has the power to educate and shape the world's awareness of others. They should be a little more careful. With that being said, I am highly impressed with Moana. I love it. Btw, huge fan! :)
I figured they weren't actually coconuts. I thought they were like to y aliens or something wearing coconut armour..... I noticed in the movie when the 'leader' or something was hit with there own friendly fire dart
no stuff like this doesnt bother me i actually think its so cool that theres stuff like this in the movies and then turned out to be real or myths in real life and i love learning about it
They're alive until you remove them from the tree. After that they're dead. So if the Kakamora really were coconuts then it is still impressive that they're alive considering that they have pretty much been cut off from their entire nervous and circulatory systems.
The mythological Kakamora sound an awful lot like Homo Floresienses to me. Nicknamed hobbits, these diminutive early hominids are known to have lived on the island of Flores in Indonesia. It is possible that they actually shared the island with modern humans for a time and that descriptions of them survive in local legends. The fossil record of this species is incredibly limited, but it could be possible that the hobbits, or a similar species, migrated across Polynesia or simply remained a part of the legends brought eastwards across the Pacific by Polynesians originating from areas where Homo Floresienses lived.

How come the kakamora attack Moana and Maui a couple hours having the heart of tefiti but no one attacks the island of motinui for Many years
I think that many tried to attack the island but failed (for an unexplained reason) however Maoui was the only successful one
I don't think random coconut warrior willing to fight againt the God, Maoi was atleast demi/half-god himself and he lost his magical hook in attemp to ran away.
The Noob because they didn't know the island had the heart on it
well then how did they find out that maui and moana had it

Remember, Moana knew him as evil and tricky. Yet she still wound up in that cave. Maybe she just liked the song? Maybe, but I find that unlikely. I believe that throughout Maui’s song, there are three things that caused him to manipulate Moana: his TATTOO, a BLANKET he pulled from nowhere, and TAPPING ON A COCONUT. Once he throws the BLANKET in Moana’s face, the background is no longer the beach. Rather, the background resembles the pattern on a blanket. Thus, Maui has begun a deeper portion of the Siren’s song. Another clue is the COCONUT Maui taps on. This is when the real magic begins. Although seemingly insignificant, the moment in which he is tapping the coconut is the moment right before Moana starts hallucinating. We KNOW she hallucinates because Maui gives her fruits that turn out to be rocks and seaweed. Hallucinations are similar to how sirens work. They make you see what you want to see. If you do not believe the coconut is involved, look closely at Moana’s face and eyes. Her eyes shift up to Maui’s face, but from where. She was either looking at his tattoos or the coconut. Look close enough, and you will see that the angle matches the position of the coconut. Notice how the background shifts from solid pattern to not-so-solid pattern. The background almost resembles Maui’s TATTOOS. Even the imaginary people match the style of his tattoos. Whenever Maui is with Moana, he tells her not to sing. A little odd considering how he was the first to sing out of the two of them. Moana does not sing while Maui is with her. In fact, Moana sings immediately AFTER he leaves, not once, but TWICE. She sings with her grandma, and she sings to the lava monster. Both times, Maui is nowhere to be seen.
Please tell me what you think.
David Smith This is an amazing theory! But why would Maui mind Moana's singing? (I haven't seen Moana, but I like Greek mythology and I don't recall the Sirens being defeated/destroyed by singing...)
Man, that makes SO much sense.
Cool theory! Not as sure about the singing part but the rest is very plausible.
David Smith dumb ass Maoi has lore
David Smith The character Maui was actually made based off of the polynesian belief of the god Maui. Polynesians believe that Maui actually pulled up a island (the island Maui which is in hawaii and they say it's named after himself) he also stopped the sun from going too fast and even stole fire. This is all explained in the song your welcome. I know about this because I go to an hawaiian school and when i was young wayyyy before moana came out i learned about Maui the god. I don't personally think that he is true but this is what hawaiians and polynesians believe and this is where they got the idea of the character Maui. He isn't just a made up character by Disney but is actually a well known myth by polynesians which was made centuries ago. So i thought that i would just put it out there. 👍🏻
The most impressive thing to me is the way the gloves appear on their arms.
Currently playing Disney Dreamlight Valley and remembered this video! In the game, Ursula has a quest where you need to get a seashell from Moana-When you talk to Moana she asks if Ursula can be trusted and actually says "Yeah, she reminds me of a giant crab I met... I hope you don't get caught in whatever she's up to."
Hey Brothers! There has been nagging feeling after watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, was merope guant ever an obscurity? Now I get that anyone that does not practice magic and is thought to be a squib is NOT an obscurial, however in the half-blood prince, Dumbledore "guesses" that Merope after freeing Tom Riddle Sr from her love potions, she never lifted her wand again. Not only that, during her upbringing Merope was harassed by her own family, like Credence in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is this sound evidence for the Merope is an obscurial theory?
they look like the trolls in Frozen but not as rocks

I was watching Moana and posted on Facebook about how I was now curious about Polynesian myth and what are the coconut pirates -- and my friend led me to your video!! You answered my exact question about Moana! And I love your videos!!
anyone else see the ghost at 2:42 its shadow walked past blastoise
s1r_steve it was a Kakamora!
:O they're everywhere
It was either a Kakamora or Ben.

YARR HARR FIDDLE E DE YOU ARE A COCONUT AND SO ARE WE DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A COCONUT IS FREE YOU ARE A COCONUT!
Is there a reason that Riley from inside out says the same thing at the start of the film when she stuffs a cookie into her dads mouth in the intro as boo from monsters inc does in the goodbye scene
They’re like jawas, they just don’t like to show their face, or maybe they’re just really shy.
They must be creatures like humans only with a fragile flesh like outside so they use coconuts as hard shells to protect them
I only watched to 0:15 but at 2:20 he proves my point
Gaming Cyborg bear grills comes thinks it's a coconut bashes it against a rock and kills the kocamora
Once he started flexing that was all I could think about, cuz god damn he got some sexy arms
The kakamora would be absolutely terrified of me I’m pasty white
For some reason I stare at Woody in the background just to check if he moves on his own

Maui gave them right in the song your welcome maui says "I killed an eel I barried it's guts sprout out a tree now we got coconuts"
@SuperCarlinBrothers I HAVE A QUESTION!!!!!! I just saw the new Beauty and the Beast movie and it was AMAZING! If you have seen it... who is Agatha and how does Belle's father recognize her?
@SuperCarlinBrothers I have another question... What do you think about the new Beauty and the Beast movie compared to the old one? I know there were some changes and added facts (like Belle's mother.) What do you think?
I think the Beauty and the Beast vid was taken down before anyone could watch the whole thing😂
Mr McSnuggles yuh. I was so excited to watch that. so sad. if
Yeah there's no way in hell, vid was uploaded 55 minutes ago and there's comments from 45 minutes ago talking about the strike, primadonnas at Disney lol
Goshh love ur acting skills from getting scared from the digital squirrel .
Sounds like Ishigaq from Inupiaq mythology. They are small, very strong, like to lure you away(like willow wisps or with voices)
I think in the movie the Kocomoora are the first travelers who came to Moanas island but they were shipwrecked
Him and those squirrel jokes were hilarious! 😂
THEY ARE SO CUTE THOUGH!!!
i cant be mad at dem,dough.
me: haven't even seen a movie watch theories about and learn about everything and when i finally watch it with family or something i act like i know nothing about it
Finally! I've found someone who appreciates axolotls! 😄
When he was explaining what the Kakamora were based on he described a girl in the fall musical last year lol
I think it would be cool to discuss why Moana's grandmother wasn't chosen to return the heart of Te Fiti when she was younger.
I mean...
she loved the sea
she knew the legend
she is feisty enough to deal with Maui
she probably knew the ocean as she was aware that it was alive
....
so why did the sea choose Moana? not that I'm complaining it has just baffled me.
Mint45 well, I'm pretty sure Moana means ocean sooooo....... XD
Ya know, I think there's a little more to it than that lol
Mint45 I meeeean... XD though for all we know, Disney didn't even think of that XD but at least that would give room for fan theories and speculation. Maybe something happened to Moanas grandma like what happened to Moana when she was younger, and like Moana she only thought it was a dream but didn't have anyone to witness what happened and pick up the heart, so when she realized it wasn't a dream she was too old to be able to do anything, or the ocean already chose someone else. Maybe Moana when she was born, or the same thing happened to Moanas father. He loved the ocean too, but he was later scared away from it.
Mint45 oh, and about her grandma knowing the ocean was alive, she likely knew it was alive only after witnessing it choose Moana.
Maybe the grandmother was given a "test" as a young child like Moana was. (The ocean let her choose between a pretty shell and saving a turtle and she chose the turtle. That was when the ocean came to life and started playing with her and rewarded her the shell.) Maybe the grandmother didn't pass the test. Or maybe she did but she was held back by the duties of being married to the chief? Maybe they'll explain in a second movie 😉
It is weird that they inaccurately portrayed the kakamora, if you going to use the name you might ad well portray it accurately right?
Did I mention I love the way you present your videos, like the way you speak. Definitely funny. 😘
Not Polynesian. It is a MELANESIAN myth. Entirely different.
Yap it's melanesian. Well known in the Solomon islands especially in Makira province.
DID ANYONE SEE THE COPYRIGHT STRIKE FOR THE LIVE ACTION REMAKE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST REVIEW?!!!!!
Mettaton's Biggest fan yes! we did! I'm so bummed!
Mettaton's Biggest fan copyright strike? What are you talking about?
Mettaton's Biggest fan please explain
the trick that you said they play actually sounds incredibly terrifying. could you imagine being lost in the jungle, and then that happening? it you were brave enough to follow the sound when you thought there wasn't anyone else but you (and maybe your crew), not even a village near by.... and then you hear crying? and if you do investigate, instead of finding a baby/young child you find a small person with sharp claws, bloodied and beaten, that laughs at you when you approach... then a chorus of small laughter comes from around you...
I shall Call them Living coconuts And they will be my Living coconuts
Sounds good Dory.

gustavo duarte HUUUMMMMMMMMM
he can turn into sven??
I always thought it was really weird that Kakamora fought against Maui cause they were coconuts and he created coconuts, so that they aren’t actually coconuts explains a lot
5:50 when you get flexed on...
2:42 What moved in the blastoice frame?
Probably Ben
Boxy it's probably not a ghost and is just ben. you know cuz they live together
😞😒😞😒🔯
They might be nothing like they're portrayed in Moana, but the real Kakamora are infinitely scarier than Coconut clad Ninja Pirates.
So basically the kakamora would fear me...cool to know ~
Are u ever going to make a Tamatoa part 2?
OMLLL
Shelby Gaming What does that stand for?
it means oh my life
no it means oh my lord
actually, I thought the lyrics of "You're Welcome" explained the Kakamora, thought it was canon that actually Maui killed a giant evil eel that was bringing terror upon a village, the village was also starving so maui buried the eel's guts and grew a tree out of them to feed the village, the tree sprouted coconuts, but the bad thing is that since the coconuts where made out of evil guts, they turned into evil kakamoras.
So wait, waving a white flag scares the actual kakamora? Wow! Finally, an enemy France can actually beat!
PizzaMan48 and Canada and *lists off a bunch of countries that have white in their flags*
I love the baymax kakamora
The extra armor is for striking fear and If you try to hit them the helmets could poke you BAAAD
I DID NOT NOTICE BAYMAX :OOOOO
(Also from 2:43 - 3:27 look at the reflection in the blastoise picture.... is that Ben or something?)
Stari_Cat
Stari_Cat he looks over as Ben or who ever walks by or something but I think he sees it I saw the same thing and went to the comments to see if anyone else saw it lol
does anyone else see that the Mountain Goddess looks exactly like Moana????!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱
or is that just me??
Lizzy Summers yuuuup
Sol Paul you agree that they look alike??? Good. I'm not alone lol
There are a lot of key differences, but I think it's mainly the nose and lips that make them look similar, because most women in the movie share these distinct, chunky islander-style features.
Maybe because they have features that are different from the ones we are used to, we can't see the differences that good? Like when european say that all chinese people look the same? But for me they look very similar, too
When you made the joke I spit out my tea I laughed so hard and had to clean my iPad so it wouldn’t get sticky🤣
im scared to ever see a kakamora irl because im only 4'9" SO....WHAT
This is funny
You: they're four feet tall
Me: so your saying they're as tall as me?!
oof
As a Polynesian, it is frustrating to have legends or stories I grew up hearing misrepresented. Disney has the power to educate and shape the world's awareness of others. They should be a little more careful. With that being said, I am highly impressed with Moana. I love it. Btw, huge fan! :)
I figured they weren't actually coconuts. I thought they were like to y aliens or something wearing coconut armour..... I noticed in the movie when the 'leader' or something was hit with there own friendly fire dart
He flexed and I got pregnant....
no stuff like this doesnt bother me i actually think its so cool that theres stuff like this in the movies and then turned out to be real or myths in real life and i love learning about it
*So if a Kakamora looks at my skin, they're terrified? :l*
Where's the "Who is Tamatoa" video?
in that video, he says hes gonna make a part 2...
Leavittman The crab is a coconut crab
CONSIDER THE COCONUTS
Part 2 was just released. Super great theory BTW
Can't help but notice the Pokemon pictures in the background. Love it dude
Why was you beauty and the beast video blocked?
omegadan Disney is a bitch about copyright
Mr McSnuggles Disney has rights.
Coconuts are alive! They are living things called plants! Living plants are not abnormal at all.
They're alive until you remove them from the tree. After that they're dead. So if the Kakamora really were coconuts then it is still impressive that they're alive considering that they have pretty much been cut off from their entire nervous and circulatory systems.
Zombie Coconuts!
Why would someone wear armour on top of their armor?
Tony Stark: Send down Veronica.
in the cacamora scene you can see a Baymax cacamora
Everyone who saw the whole video can see that
CACA MORA 😂😂
no shit he pointed that out
I just found proof this simple being cannot read nor spell
Marlayna McAllister first: it’s called Kakamora with a k
Second: It’s already in the video Einstein
