Moana (2016) is a Disney animated adventure film that follows the journey of a brave and determined Polynesian girl named Moana Waialiki. Chosen by the ocean, she sets out on a daring voyage to restore the heart of Te Fiti, a goddess whose lost power has caused darkness to spread across her island. Defying her overprotective father, Moana sails beyond the reef and seeks the help of the demigod Maui, who once stole the heart. Along the way, she faces treacherous seas, mythical monsters, and her own self-doubt, but she remains driven by her deep connection to her ancestors and the ocean.

Throughout her journey, Moana discovers her true identity as a wayfinder and proves that courage and determination can overcome any obstacle. With Maui’s reluctant guidance, she learns to harness her inner strength and restores balance to the world. The film beautifully showcases Polynesian culture, stunning animation, and a powerful soundtrack, including the hit song “How Far I’ll Go.” Ultimately, Moana is a heartwarming story of self-discovery, bravery, and the importance of embracing one’s destiny.
