Overview

Synopsis

The princess Moana has always felt connected to the ocean. From a young age she has felt it calling her. Despite her parents' wishes, she follows her calling and sails out to sea in order to return the long lost heart of the goddess Te Fiti, the mother island. Along the way she meets Maui, a fallen demigod with an ego problem. Despite his attitude, Maui agrees to accompany Moana on her journey. They sail far across the waters together and work through many tough situations, from the Realm of Monsters to the Demon of Fire, Te Ka. Through all of this they finally are able to complete their journey and return the Heart. Along the way they learn valuable lessons about teamwork, friendship, and chasing your dreams.
