Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2022
- This is our Group Reaction & Review to MOANA. It tells the story of Moana, the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian village, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with the goddess Te Fiti. When a blight strikes her island, Moana sets sail in search of Maui, a legendary demigod, in the hope of returning the relic to Te Fiti and saving her people. The plot is original, but takes inspiration from Polynesian myths.

The history of native Pacific island peoples and sailing is INCREDIBLE! The feats of navigation alone are completely mind blowing. For hundreds of years, generations unfailingly knew exactly where they were and where they were going.
Have you had a chance to read the book Vaka Moana? It's expensive but one of the best books on the Polynesians and their history I've ever read.
Suhsush
I know as a person born and raised in a island I can tell you that yes we indeed were the masters of the sea.
They were!! I think it’s really cool how they incorporated so many actual wayfinding techniques in “We Know the Way”
I’m proud to be an Islander of two groups, New Zealand and Samoa
The way Raphael said: “We will have to break her legs” made me laugh for a whole hour 😭😭😭
This is history about all the islands of The pacific ocean like Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga & Fiji etc. Im glad you guys reacted to this movie, as I’m a pacific islander myself!😊
I would have to disagree. What about the islands of Micronesia and Melanesia?
@@yeetfeet731 Honestly they left us out but then again at least now people realize that yes we islanders have our ways and yes we exist.
@@yeetfeet731 they're close to samoa and fiji and tonga lol
As a pacific islander i personally think it is also about the micronesians and melansians in a way since the setting of moana occured during the 'long pause' in which the lapita people whom which settled the pacific stopped sailing the seas for a long period of time after settling in larger islands in the pacific such as New guinea, And solomons islands. And after the long pause they begin setteling the rest of the pacific islands such as Vanuatu, New caledonia, fiji, samoa, tonga, tahiti, Hawaii and the rest of melenasia, polynesia and Micronesia. This can be seen in the movie where moana's father banned sailing the oceans for a long time and After moana restored the heart they beginning voyaging again setteling the rest of the pacific islands. And to add on the Moana movie diliveres a very important message, a crisis that the whole pacific island nations are impacted by which is climate change.
@@yeetfeet731 this movie is about Polynesian culture and their creation story, having a Melanesian movie would be great but let’s celebrate not hate
Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the songs for Encanto also wrote the songs for Moana:)
Plus he actually sings in "We Know The Way". It was only once Is heard him in other things that I realised this. He has a very recognisable singing voice, that I actually really like.
Also Opetaia and Te Vaka did the Polynesian songs..
Many of the pacific islands are created by volcanic activity & the resulting soil is incredibly rich so the idea of lava/destruction and fertility/creation being two sides of the same thing makes total sense.
LMAO yeah the talk no jutsu was definitely there, but I think that’s why they had the contrast of Te Ka coming at Moana hella crazy and Moana remaining completely calm. Te Ka definitely could have taken her out in that moment, but I think Moana knows that, and it parallels when Moana was having the heart to heart with Maui and she was like, “You can throw me off the boat if you want” like you can come at her hella aggressive, but she is still going to help cause thats her character. So I think that vibe check they had coming forehead to forehead like that was meant to show Moana’s determination to help and return the heart whether she dies or not, but the talk no jutsu sprinkled in was just too good too!! The Moana songs are some of the best!!
Y'all's pure glee that Maui was going to eat the chicken made my entire day; I giggled for a while over it. It's cold and rain here in my home of Alaska, and I used to live in Samoa, so this whole reaction was a delight. Subscribed!
P.S. Moana literally translates to "ocean" in Samoan, and is a relatively common name there. Fun fact!
Here on the Island of Guam (Micronesia), we would rarely hear of Chamorro names, but the Chamorro names that we do hear every now and again is always "Tåsi" or "Nåpu" meaning "ocean" and "wave" respectively. I guess we all are just unoriginal lmao
The 'Headbut' as you called it at the end is a traditional Polynesian greeting and show of respect. It's called a 'Hongi', depending on whether you are Tongan or Samoan or Maori or Hawaiian it is done differently, sometimes by simply pressing noses together and sometimes by pressing both the nose and the forehead. It symbolises sharing the 'Breath of Life' with another person.
You guys are so adorable, I love how into the music you guys get.
Thank you 😌
I feel like it’s not really that hard to understand. The heart belonged to her, she got her heart stolen so she turned angry & fiery. Moana held up the heart HIGH & it started glowing I’m guessing bc the owner of the heart & the thwart itself is close to each other. Moana sings to calm her down & she realized that Moana isn’t trying to hurt her. Moana gives her, her heart & all is saved and swell. she’s happy & green again & turns back into an island. simple.
Growing up in New Zealand and being of Maori descent I grew up hearing the story of Maui and Mother Ranginui and Father Papatuanuku. All Polynesian legends have similarities as all are stemmed from the same story. We are sea faring people, master navigators, people of earth and water. In my family and in my opinion, most Maori whanau (family) we have a close connection and deep respect for our ancestors. We come from a long line of chiefs. I can trace my ancestry back to the Captain of my Tribal Waka (The Canoe by which my people arrived in Aotearoa aka New Zealand). Great movie and great reaction Guys. 👍 Kia Ora
Moana is one of my top favorite new princesses. I just love the story, culture, music, literally everything. Disney did it right with this one and many other recent movies
She’s amazing
I had heard that during production the story-boarders kept having to refocus off Maui in order to truly center Moana as the story's hero
@@alharairah2214 Understandable, because Maui to the pacific is not like how Loki is in to the viking, or Unaman to the indians, or Wukong is to the chinese, the other trickster gods.
Maui is fascinating for that reason, because of all the things he does in the myths.
They are for humanity's own good.
Them singing is the highlight of the video for me
🤣🤣
Hi, Pacific-Islander here! Yes, traditional, non-instrument techniques use both the sky and the ocean to navigate. Many of our islands were very small, so we used navigation to find more places to live, and find food. That's how we survived back in the day. :)
I'd recommend looking up Mau Piailug, he's the reason why traditional navigation still exists. Disney never gave him credit, but he's real lol.
Great reaction, guys! Mahalo for the video!
I am from Aotearoa and grew up with Maui and his stories:) was awesome watching you react to this one!
polynesians/pacific islanders are the greatest navigators of the sea, navigating the whole pacific ocean with only stars and constellations. Our islands are small and far apart from each other, but it is said that we are not separated by our islands but connected by the ocean.
good yes
greatest? no xd
@@destinycantwaitYep, they are. Imagine crossing the trechearous Pacific Ocean with nothing but pitch black view and surviving the unforgiving natural disasters in that part of the world. Because of that, it is believed that, their DNA and culture can be found in both Asia and American continents. Even until now, some of the people who descended from them are being trusted to man ships of any kind in the world.
Cheeehooooo! Moana is my jam! Watch it everytime Im feeling homesick and wish I was back on the islands!
Y'all sounded like minions, when you were singing How Far I'll Go 🤣
The Disney revival era is really gorgeous and a new age of storytelling for Disney. It's really fun seeing them explore different cultures and seeing it get warmer feedback than in the 90s.
Since you mentioned Moses, you should react to The Prince of Egypt. 🙂
We definitely will
@@AkinReacts
Awesome! You’re going to love it. The music is simply epic and it has an all-star cast for the voices.
The artists took 2 years just on the parting of the Red Sea to get it right.
🌊🙂 🌊
In Tahitian, "motu" is island and "nui" is new.
seeing you guys’ frustration with the chicken is so funny 😂😂😂.
You all having fun singing was the best part
As someone of Samoan/Pacific Islander heritage, your reaction had me so geeked! Sick video guys 😎🫶🏾
The way you guts are singing finished me 💀🤣
I got to watch your other reactions now
I’m only a few seconds in and the swift overlooking of the “Te Fiti/Defeat Me” has me crying 💀😭
🤣🤣🤣
When are we getting Kung Fu Panda 2? Also if want a movie with great songs and storyline then try Encanto.
They’ve already watched Encanto
We’ve reacted to it 😊 and KFP 2 will come soon
@@AkinReacts you’ve watched Encanto? I gotta check it out.
"She's just living on vibes" took me out 😂😂
React to spirit the stallion of the cimarron movie from DreamWorks
We will 😌
Ik ya’ll will react to kung fu panda 2 and how to train your dragon 2 at some point so i’m not worried. Great reaction!
We will soon 😌
LMAO the "they got sent to fiji" caught me off guard😭
your guys reaction was so wholesome omm
Been watching you guys reactions and I love the energy ye 3 give in every one of em. Keep up the great videos
🙌🏿🙌🏿 thanks
When the grandma died, she became a stingray ❤
I really love your reactions! It made me so happy seeing you happy and vibing to the song!
the "forehead tap" is actually a "hongi" it's a maori traditional greeting ! in New Zealand/Aotearoa.
React to Corpse Bride movie next please
You three never fail to make my day better. 🙏
Thank you 🤝
can you guys react to Ratatouille next please? Love your videos
We will react to it at some point 😅
6:37 I can't stop laughing 🤣 "Oh here we go"
47:56 "Just living on vibes" 🤣
U GUYS GOTTA FINISH KUNG FU PANDA TRILOGY THE SECOND MOVIE IS SO GOOD
We will finish it 😂
The crab's song and personality was based off of David Bowie
Aye! First video seeing of you guys and it’s a vibe for sure ! Subscribed 🙏🏼💪🏽✔️
Thank you 😊
The best reaction of MOANA
Thanks 😊
😁 love this movie, its so pretty to look at.
Have y'all had a chance to see Strange Magic yet? It's a little older but holds up well story wise. It's based loosely on the play by Shakespeare Midsummer's Night Dream but it's not a very serious movie. Very fun if you don't go into it expecting seriousness
Yes, Mauii is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. His real life daughter (3 or 4 years old) loves Moana and she forces Dwayne to sing her the song 'You're Welcome' because she doesn't believe that he's Mauii.
Will you react to Kung fu Panda 2 ?
Yes we will
22:35 The Ocean couldn't help Moana when she was in that situation because since Te Fiti's heart's stolen by Maui, Darkness forges all over the ocean. And not even the ocean could control.
you should watch SURF'S UP its an amazing movie
We definitely will 😊
@@AkinReacts no dont 😭
I love the songs in this movie 🌹🌹☺🌅🌄
I might be tempting fate at this point. But you should watch the following animation franchises if you haven’t seen them; Shrek 1-4 as well as the Madagascar trilogy
She don’t have powers 🤣 the sea is alive and the grandmother guide her in the sea to go to see tafiti
Ohh 😂
The chickens Name in Māori language means Chicken lol love your guys react 😄
For me, we know the way is the soul I felt was missing from this movie but it's alright for what it was
Te Fiti becoming Tet Ka does make sense when you consider this:
when someone takes the bare essence of who you are, Your Heart, away from you, you lose yourself and become someone you never thought you Could become. You crumble and fall into despair, become angry, confused, you lash out and are ultimately lost until you find yourself again
"Is she Moses!?" 😂😂😆
I been waiting!!😃
If you get a chance, listen to more music by the Pacific group Te Vaka, who are responsible for much of the music in the film. Great stuff.
I looove watching you three singing to the songs ahhaha it's so cute!!
OMG you guys! The singing in the first 15 seconds 🤣 Love it! 💖
this is so cute! one of my faves im glad y'all really enjoyed it
If you liked this movie and want to see another story of Maori people's traditions and the ocean and a girl who isn't what they wanted but who they needed, I can't recommend the Whale Rider (2004) enough! It will make you cry so much, and it will make your hearts grow 3 sizes.
12:45 love these guys 😂😂
I suggest next time you guys should watch “In SideOut” it’s really fun
wOOOO
28:51 what is that? a great ost and amazing percussion
U guys reactions r the best 😍😍❤
Thanks 😊
You've watched Encanto, Moana, you should watch Hamilton next. You won't regret it.
I love that this movie has no real villian, a few badguys but no villian, it's a nice twist on things :>
I just started watching you guys I like the video’s a few tips i think u can maybe use too make it a little bit more professional to take your videos too the next level is get a good ring light for the lighting also if u can paint the wall white for a more clean and professional look and place the video in the middle above your heads that’s all much love ❤️
Thank you a lot, we’ll take these under consideration 👊🏿😊
I definitely subscribed first time watching your channel , where are y’all from ? I’m in Pittsburgh PA ☺️ born and raised in Oahu, HI
We’re born in Italy but we’re Nigerian currently in the Uk 👋🏾
There's going to be a live-action version soon like really soon. The reason, they want to cash in on the Rock success as Maui cuz he will be reprising his role 😊
Also I have a theory, if you ever seen Lilo & stitch then you know about Pudge the fish. My theory is that Pudge is Maui, and Lilo and Nani are Moana's descendants. So now he is watching over his best friends descendants, Maui tried to save Lilo and Nani's parents but was unable to that day they died in that storm.
I heard someone had a theory that maui is Moanas real father
And when I heard that it blew my mind "that's why the chief won't let her go find him!!!"
Wait- WTF thats so intresting. I never even thought of that
How would that be possible if he was stuck there for thousand years 😂
@@advanturepie Oh- damn. That's true😆
Do ghibli movies too please!
One of my fav disney movie. You should watch raya and the last dragon! And lion king too if you guys havent watched it
“Is she Moses”💀
I just thought of a movie you could watch: Two Brothers(2004) about 2 brother tigers
How do I press the dislike button for the singing? LOL...I'm kidding. Another great reaction
Y'all should watch spirited away
if you could, Raya and the Last Dragon is also a awesome movie! great reaction!

Sup bros I think you guys should watch the movie “Beowulf” if you guys haven’t already
How come you all haven’t reacted to Soul or the Princess and the frog?
We will at some point 😊
I’m from Micronesia and star navigation is originally from Micronesia Ulithian they taught the bigger states before they even became their own country or states including Hawaii. They still have no full credits. FYI FACT.
When Maui was trapped for 1000 years, this point of real history is called The Long Pause where Pacific Islanders such as Hawaiians etc, stopped exploration.
I think Hawaiians weren't formed yet,in that Long Pause of Pacific History..
1:01:00
