#4. What's Moana About?
Moana, the princess of a very small Polynesian island, has always had a very unique relationship with the water, but no one has ever let her explore it. She is meant to follow in her father's footsteps and become a leader for her people, but she dreams of traveling into the sea and seeing what is beyond the orison.
Centuries before Moana's birth, the demigod Maui stole the heart of Godess Te Fiti, a stone with the power to create life, but as he flees, the stone falls from his grasp and is lost. As a result of Maui's actions, the islands are gradually disappearing, and when Moana is a teenager, things have reached a tipping point, so she chooses to travel into the ocean, locate Maui, and rectify everything by returning the stone to Te Fiti.
When she finds him, Maui and Moana embark on their own adventure to save the islands, despite the fact that they don't understand each other very well, because she doesn't know much about navigating or what dangers lurk in the ocean, and he is a self-centered being who finds it difficult to think of anything other than himself.
