The TOP 5 Most Believable Moana Theories | Disney Film Theory

The first time my friend and I watched 'Moana' when grandma Tala comes back as a ghost and says, "looks like I chose the right tattoo," I whispered to my friend, "looks like I'm coming back as a penguin," because my first tattoo was of a penguin. And my friend looked down at their first tattoo, which is a pencil, and cursed

Fun Fact for those who don't know, the turtle scene is also a nod to Lilo and Stitch. You just have to get to the credits and you'll see a picture of Stitch helping out a baby sea turtle in the same way Moana did.

Ever since I saw the movie, in the theatre, It was my personal head canon that the Grandma was chosen as a child as well, but she decided to stay on the island and follow tradition. Something she regretted later on, and saw her son turn away as well. This was why she recognized the heart and worked so hard to prepare Moana for when she would have to make the same decision. She never tried to make the decision for her, or even influence her, any more than her Father did. She just ensured that Moana knew she had a choice. And that was why the Ocean helped her to return, immediately, as a Manta Ray as Moana's spirit guide. She was a friend of the ocean. I hadn't thought about the heart keeping her alive, but that makes sense, as well.

My theory is that Moana father is not actually her real dad but instead her real father, who was also the chosen one, is the one who died in the boating accident and then because they were holding the heart their consciousness became part of the ocean. This theory also explains why Moans is becoming the new chief at such an early age, because the real chief drowned. Her fathers friend then raised her as his own daughter and they kept it all a secret from her and that is why he is so frightened of her going near the water, because he doesn't want her to suffer the same fate as her father.

My theory is that Moana's family are descendants of Te Fiti herself. She comes from a long line of Chiefs, and everyone from her dad's family side was drawn to the ocean (gramma Tala, Tui, and Moana). The ocean has been trying to get the heart back to Te Fiti since it was first stolen, revealing the heart to every generation of Moana's ancestors.

A theory I noticed was that Maui is the reason for the golden flower from Tangled. In tangled they say that the flower came from a drop of the sun. In the song “You’re Welcome”, Maui says he lassoed the sun. It’s possible that by lassoing the sun, sun drops fell to earth.

An extension of the "keeping Tala alive" one: the heart kept Moana alive throughout the many incidents that should have killed her (e.g., jumping into the realm of monsters and bouncing off the rocks a whole bunch of times)

Moana probably wouldn’t have passed the test if the ocean killed her best friend. Maybe the ocean realized that maybe that was too far for a test and dumbed it down for her.

I would like to ask then: if Moana is both not the only chosen one and also the heart of Te Fiti, if her dad had chosen to go to restore the heart of Te Fiti, would Te Fiti have looked like him?

Theory? Maybe not, but Maui's tattoo's. He tells of where he came from and points to the tattoo's where? On his back. His backstory.

You know that first theory makes SO MUCH SENSE! I don’t remember if it was 1,000 or 10,000 years ago that Maui stole the heart, but it makes sense that there would be multiple other people chosen. Cause why wait til the darkness is about to consume everything to choose someone to save it? Edit: another theory going along with the second one: Moana survives the thunderstorm not just because of the ocean, but because of the heart of Te Fiti

the last theory is a bit of a stretch since Tangled tells us the flower came from a sun drop. The tangled series also added to this by revealing there was also a moon drop that causes nothing but destruction to balance out the sun

Moana was never alone. Her grandmother was with her the whole time. She died as she left and her spirit sailed with her the entire time. That’s why when Moana needed her most the grandma was there with her. Also just before she left her grandma told her do u think there is anywhere u can go that I won’t be with u?

What would happen if Moana helped the baby turtle but something still got it, cause you know...she's a baby? Would the ocean start to give Moana the shell and the heart before going, "gotcha!" and yeeting them both into oblivion? Also, surprised ya'll didn't use the Harry Potter "...but I am the chosen one" clip 😄

8:48 they really taking every opportunity to write cake off as a business expense 😂

Hi guys! got here early so i just wanted to say that y’all’s videos have seriously helped me with my mental health. Also agree with the other commenter though that BetterHelp isn’t great and doesnt deserve the sponsorship. Love the SCB team💜💜💜

I love the first theory though it does make me wonder why Moana couldn't have just grabbed the shell and then run to the turtle, like she had time to contemplate it she could've chosen both

I don’t think the ghosts were actually there at the end, I think Moana was hallucinating due to having no food or sleep since Tamatoa

Your tangled theory was disapproved in tangled:the series. We learn that Repunzle’s power comes from the sun drop, which has a partner, the moonstone. The flower grew from the sun drop, but it was never the source.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed by the creators of Moana that her and Te Fiti looking so similar was just coincidence. The animators just couldn't come up with a very different Hawaiian-looking face.
