Disney Girls Fancy Dress Moana

Product Information

Keely, Flaherty (November 26, 2016). " 34 Magical "Moana" Facts You Probably Don’t Know". BuzzFeed. Retrieved on November 27, 2016. Green Means Natural: Te Fiti is the goddess of life who created many islands full of plants, animals, and humans. She can also make flowers appear with her own hands. Her entire body (save for some pink and red flowers in her hair) is green and resembles a topiary hedge formed in the shape of a woman.

Establishing Character Moment: After her grandmother tells a terrifying story of gods and monsters, Moana is shown grinning in rapt attention while the other toddlers cry. She then sneaks off to play by the ocean, then escorts a newly-hatched baby sea turtle to the water when a number of birds try to eat it on the way. This establishes her courage, compassion, connection to the legends and ocean, and foreshadows her future role as the escort of Maui in returning the Heart of Te Fiti. Ink-Suit Actor: An unusual inversion — Moana's design was created before Auli'i was cast as her voice actress, yet the two look very similar to each other. Auli'i even has a tendency to dress almost exactly the way Moana does. In a somewhat downplayed example, Sina tells Moana that Tui used to share her love of the ocean as well.

Giant Enemy Crab: He's a 50-foot crab that has gained possession of Maui's magical fishhook. Since Maui ripped off one of his legs in the past, he's more than willing to give him a Curb-Stomp Battle once he sees that Maui has lost control of his shape shifting. Vocal Dissonance: When we first hear Tamatoa speak his voice is deep. However, his natural tone is higher and more campy, indicating that he only brings out the deep voice when he needs to be threatening. He gains a more demonic second voice in the second half of his song. Motive Misidentification: Tala's stories assume that Te Kā is just another "demon of the deep" who desires the heart as Maui did. It's revealed that she's actually Te Fiti in a corrupted form and simply wants it returned to her.

Little Stowaway: He comes along for the adventure when he accidentally gets into one of the baskets that Moana brought with her on the boat. Shown Their Work: Coconut crabs — which Tamatoa is based on — are also called "robber crabs" because of their habit of stealing shiny objects. He also shares the coconut crab's predilections towards isolation (holing himself up in a cave) and cannibalism (see Monstrous Cannibalism above). In the credits, the toddler version of Moana makes an appearance as a modern-day girl named Mo coming home after seeing the very film. Mo tells her mother that she was unhappy over a scene that was in the trailer, which was not in the film itself, so her mother encourages her to play a mobile game, Pancake Milkshake, to feel better. Mo does so, but while playing, she sees both Ralph and Vanellope crash the game. Ralph then overfeeds the bunny character who explodes from pressure, causing Mo to scream in horror. Mom Looks Like a Sister: Moana's mother doesn't visibly age much over the course of the movie, putting this trope into motion at the end. Her friendship with the Ocean started when she was a toddler and the Ocean guides her on her journey.

The Periscope Pub is inspired by Disney’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” Disney said “the submarine-styled interiors will give guests a look at the watery world below through an intriguing glass ceiling.” It will feature “craft brews and light bites,” and occupy the spot taken up by Keg & Compass on the Wish. The junior novelization gives her age as 16. This makes her the only Disney princess to be voiced by an actress younger than the character, as her film was released on Auli'i Cravalho's 16th birthday.
