Disney Girls Fancy Dress Moana

Product Information

Sweet and Sour Grapes: Ultimately, he chooses to give up his magic hook, to whose magical powers he attaches much of his self-worth, and which he fully believes can never be repaired or replaced in battle with Te Kā... only to have Te Fiti present him with another at the end of his quest. Lightning Bruiser: He is strong enough to overpower Maui, and is also much faster than something his size has any business being.

Sapient Eat Sapient: He has no qualms about eating sapient beings, be it humans, demigods, or his own grandmother. Butt-Monkey: In the trailer alone, Maui inadvertently crushes him with a boat, he nearly gets killed by a harpoon, and he falls overboard. 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. Gentle Giant: Well, the Pacific Ocean is the largest on Earth and its spirit takes the form of giant liquid tentacles or waves when interacting with Moana. During the scene in Tamatoa's cave where she's trying to distract Tamatoa with the made-up story that she came because he was amazing and wanted to know how he became so "crabulous". Tamatoa only "buys it" because it gives him a chance to talk about himself.

Knight of Cerebus: Both the Kakamora and Tamatoa are part of two very comical (albeit still genuinely threatening) sequences. Te Kā is the de-facto Big Bad, and is played completely seriously to the point where even Maui is scared of her. Storyboard Body: Complete with an animated depiction of Maui with a mind of its own (see "Mini-Maui" below for its own character trope list). Would Hit a Girl: Tamatoa physically manhandles Moana, then attempts to eat her when they first met. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's an incredibly selfish and arrogant narcissist, and doesn't really think much of Moana at first. Underneath all that though, he really does have some compassion.

Meta Guy: Maui lampshades quite a few Disney cliché things that happen, questions certain plot points, and does a fourth wall break at least once. In the series finale of At Home With Olaf, a short clip of her film featuring herself appears during a montage of heartwarming moments from Disney films playing in Olaf's song " I Am with You". Walking Spoiler: Her true identity as Te Fiti without her heart is this, especially for the climax of the movie.Touched by Vorlons: Without his fish hook, he is still inhumanly strong, and resilient to physical harm and age. Since he says himself that he was not born a demigod, he got those more "baseline" demigodly powers this way. As she grows throughout her adventure, Moana discovers more about herself. She comes to realize that no one can define who you are, other than yourself; she is neither meant to be devoted solely to the sea or solely to her people, but to herself. As such, she is able to bring her two loves together, ultimately recreating and honoring what came before her: a unity between her people and the sea.
