Plot Motunui, Polynesia, the pre-modern past. Moana is to succeed her father as chief of Motunui. His community never sails past the coral reef, yet Moana longs to explore further. When Motunti’s harvest fails, Moana believes it is because demigod Maui stole the heart of goddess Te Fiti, causing destruction to spread. Gramma Tala takes Moana to a cave, where she discovers that her ancestors were seafaring voyagers. As Gramma is dying, she urges Moana to sail away, find Maui and return the heart to Te Fiti. With the ocean’s help, Moana finds Maui stranded on a remote deserted island. He attempts to steal Moana’s boat and abandon her, but the sea resists him. The two agree that they will retrieve Maui’s magical hook, which allows him to shapeshift, before restoring the heart. After retrieving the hook from Tamatoa (a gigantic crab), they set sail to Te Fiti. They fight lava god Te Ka and are initially defeated, but Moana restores the heart to Te Ka, who reverts to the benevolent Te Fiti. Moana returns to her now fertile home and leads her community in voyaging again. (Adapted from Rizoz 82)
