#Moana is a very nice movie. I loved every minute of it. Be it the story, the characters in the movie or the animation in general, ALL of it was real awesome! I am so glad that I decided to watch this movie! My friends and I had an amazing time watching this movie. We should encourage the making of such movies since it teaches good lessons of life (especially to the kids). KUDOS to the entire cast and crew that worked on this movie and made it happen! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie to one and all!

Trivia:
Eric Goldberg had ardently worked on the hand-drawn animation used to depict Maui's sentient tattoos

Moana is Clements and Musker's first fully computer-animated film

Jemaine Clement and Nicole Scherzinger had already work together in Men in Black 3

Moana is the third animated movie of Dwayne Johnson after 'The Game Plan' and 'Race to Witch Mountain'

'Moana' is one of the few Disney Animated feature films where the voice actors wouldn't match their character's mouth movements, with all the dialogue recording having been finished up 4 months prior to the film's release.

Maui's tattoos were hand-drawn animated and detailed which makes Moana the first full-length Disney animated feature film to feature hand drawn animation.

Fifth Harmony member and pop star Dinah Jane Hansenn had auditioned for the role of Moana.

Several girls had auditioned for the role online and actual casting calls were made in different locations.

The term 'Moana' depicts the Polynesian word for ocean or sea and is also a common Polynesian word for the colour blue.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was signed on to write the music for Moana before the Broadway stage musical 'Hamilton' became a worldwide phenomenal hit.

The sequence in which Maui and Moana encounter the Kakamora was supposed to be an intentional homage to Mad Max: Fury Road.

Jared Bush received sole credit as the writer of the final version of the screenplay.

Another version of the script had focused on Moana rescuing her father, who had been lost at sea.

Pamela Ribon came up with the idea of a grandmother character for the film who would serve as the mentor tied to the ancient traditions.

Taika Waititi had written the initial screenplay focusing on Moana as the sole daughter in a family with five to six brothers but had later decided to focus the story solely on Moana.
