class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui appears as a main character in the 2016 Disney 3D computer-animated musical film Moana, in which he is voiced by Dwayne Johnson. Abandoned by his human parents as a baby, the gods took pity on him and made him a demigod and gave him a magic fish hook that gives him the ability to shape-shift.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-maui-based-on-a-real-demigod\"><\/span>Is Maui based on a real demigod?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>M\u0101ui is a demi-god who is popular in the Native Hawaiian culture. He is known for being the \u201ctrickster.\u201d It is said that he owns a great fish-hook called Manaiakalani. Legend has it that M\u0101ui created the Hawaiian islands by tricking his brothers into going fishing with him.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-story-behind-maui\"><\/span>What is the story behind Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui is a shared deity throughout Polynesia. His mischievous deeds were often to the benefit of mankind. From creating fire to raising the sky to snare the sun, Maui was a hero whose legacy spanned well over 1000 years while these stories traveled over 4000 miles across the Pacific ocean.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-was-maui-abandoned-by-his-parents\"><\/span>Why was Maui abandoned by his parents?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>History. According to Maui, they took one look at him after his birth and decided they didn&#39;t want him as they refuse to bear the difficulties of raising a child. As such, they threw him into the ocean like he was nothing, though he was saved by the gods, who raised him to become a demigod to provide gifts for humanity <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-god-gave-maui-his-hook\"><\/span>What god gave Maui His hook?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Legend has it that one day, Maui couldn&#39;t take it anymore\u2014the demi-god pleaded with his brothers who finally took him along. This time Maui brought his magic fish hook, Manaiakalani equipped with a very special kind of bait\u2014a feather from his mother Hina&#39;s (the moon goddess&#39;s) sacred birds the \u02bbalae.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-is-mauis-wife\"><\/span>Who is Maui&#39;s wife?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hina<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-moana-become-a-demigod\"><\/span>Does Moana become a demigod?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Moana Is Offed By The Ocean To Come Back As A Demigod Following a terrible storm, the princess wakes up on an island whose only inhabitant is Maui.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-a-dark-story-behind-moana\"><\/span>Is there a dark story behind Moana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The crux of the dark theory is this: that Moana actually drowns at the beginning of her journey to find Maui. The post&#39;s author argues that being dead allows Moana access to the underworld to complete her mission.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-moana-actually-dead\"><\/span>Is Moana actually dead?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Already this has our backs up. \u201cMoana actually died in the storm at the beginning of the movie. Maui is her guardian angel, who was tasked to take her to &#39;Te Fiti&#39;, which stands for heaven in the movie. \u201cThe whole movie was about her journey to the afterlife.\u201dJul 27, 2021<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-maui-dead-in-moana\"><\/span>Is Maui dead in Moana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Immortality: Since becoming a demigod, Maui is virtually immortal, looking the same in the present as he did one thousand years ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-there-be-a-moana-2\"><\/span>Will there be a Moana 2?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While an animated series means that a film sequel is unlikely, it also means that fans will get even more Moana content to enjoy. Plus, the return of Derrick and possibly Cravalho means that Disney is investing in a high quality show that will do justice to the original.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-old-is-moana-now\"><\/span>How old is Moana now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>16 years old<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-did-maui-leave-moana\"><\/span>Why did Maui leave Moana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Moana offers to fix the hook, but as it was made by the gods, it is impossible for them to do so. Maui refuses to return to Te Fiti as one more blow to his hook will destroy it forever. He uses some of his remaining power to transform into a hawk and leave Moana&#39;s boat. This forces Moana to return to Te Fiti alone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-cant-moana-go-in-the-water\"><\/span>Why can&#39;t Moana go in the water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[Moana] Moana can&#39;t go past the reef because she doesn&#39;t have the heart of Te Fiti.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-cant-maui-use-his-hook\"><\/span>Why can&#39;t Maui use his hook?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thousands of years before the film, Maui lost this weapon after his theft of the heart of Te Fiti and his subsequent battle with the lava demon Te K\u0101.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-did-the-ocean-not-help-moana\"><\/span>Why did the ocean not help Moana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Because the ocean doesn&#39;t know where Te Fiti is. That island, the source of creation, can only be found by a god. It needs Maui to be there in order to find the island to even get the heart back.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-moanas-feet-big\"><\/span>Why are Moana&#39;s feet big?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Moana doll is built like a real human person \u2014 muscular legs, normal proportions and best of all, flat human feet. Every other Disney doll comes with a Barbie body and those crazy feet that can&#39;t stand flat. They all have high heels.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-made-moana-realize-that-she-was-chosen\"><\/span>What made Moana realize that she was chosen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The ocean challenged Moana&#39;s empathy by tempting her to choose between the shell and the sea turtle; she chose to save the latter. Moana&#39;s selfless act prompted the ocean to choose her as the world&#39;s &#34;chosen one&#34; and revealed itself as a sentient being.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-did-moanas-grandma-have-the-heart\"><\/span>Why did Moana&#39;s grandma have the heart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When Maui took the heart from the mother island goddess, she became lost and fractured.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-the-tattoos-in-moana-mean\"><\/span>What do the tattoos in Moana mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the teaser for the movie, Maui uses his tattoos to boast about his exploits and impress Moana. One of his deeds was to slow down the sun with his magical fish hook, a reference to a Maori myth where the demigod lengthens the day so more work can be done.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-te-ka-a-boy\"><\/span>Is Te K\u0101 a boy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Te K\u0101 is the main antagonist in the 2016 Disney animated feature film Moana.
