What's left behind the scenes
- Moana is the first Polynesian princess in a classic Disney film.
- The word 'moana' means 'ocean' or 'sea' in Hawaiian and Maori. The same word is also used to denote the color blue.
- This is the first full-length computer-animated film by screenwriters and directors John Musker and Ron Clements. Before this, the creative duo had only worked with traditional hand-drawn animation, namely: 'The Great Mouse Detective' (1986), 'The Little Mermaid' (1989), 'Aladdin' (1992), 'Hercules' (1997), 'Treasure Planet' (2002), and 'The Princess and the Frog' (2009).
- This is the second film by directors John Musker and Ron Clements after 'The Little Mermaid' (1989) where the events unfold in the ocean.
- Despite being a computer-animated film, all of Maui's tattoos were hand-drawn.
- This is Disney's 20th animated feature film, simply named after the main character. Among the others are: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), "Pinocchio" (1940), "Dumbo" (1941), "Bambi" (1942), "Cinderella" (1950), "Peter Pan" (1953), "Lady and the Tramp" (1955), "Robin Hood" (1973), "Oliver & Company" (1988), "Aladdin" (1992), "Pocahontas" (1995), "Hercules" (1997), "Mulan" (1998), "Tarzan" (1999), "Lilo & Stitch" (2002), "Chicken Little" (2005), "Bolt" (2008), "Winnie the Pooh" (2011) and "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012).
- A studio signature: Barefoot characters: all human characters walk barefoot throughout the film.
- Directors John Musker and Ron Clements immersed themselves in the study of Polynesian culture for months in order to create a film that would respectfully represent the mythology and culture of the Polynesian people.
- The main character lives on the island of Motunui, which does not actually exist – the creators did not want to focus on the culture of just one island and decided to pay tribute to them all.
- In Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, and the Netherlands, the cartoon is titled "Vaiana" due to copyright issues. In France, it is called "Vaiana: Legend of the End of the World," and in Latin America, it has the subtitle "Sea Adventures." In China, "Moana" was renamed "Ocean Romance." In Italy, the film's title will be changed to "Oceania," and the main character is named Vaiana to avoid association with porn actress Moana Pozzi.
- "Moana" is the first animated film to be translated into Tahitian.
- By the time Auli'i Cravalho was cast, Moana's design had been finalized.
- Initially, the rooster Hei Hei was conceived as a hot-tempered bully, but then his character was drastically changed and he became "very, very silly."
- Jared Bush created over 700 sketches of the project during his first year working on it.
- Some of the locations visited by animators during research had a significant impact on the film, such as Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti.
- Auli'i Cravalho is the youngest actress to voice a princess (the ruler's daughter) in Disney animated films. She was 14 years old at the time of working on the film.
- Following Chris Sanders' animated film 'Lilo & Stitch,' set in Hawaii (2002), 'Moana' is the second Disney film to take place in Polynesia.
- Dina Jane Hansen, from the American girl group Fifth Harmony formed in 2012, auditioned for the role of Moana.
- The first film produced by Osnat Shurer, Vice President of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
- A contract with Lin-Manuel Miranda to write music for the animated film *Moana* was signed before his Broadway musical *Hamilton* (2015) gained international recognition. Miranda wrote the lyrics and music for the musical and initially starred in it himself. After signing the contract, Miranda frequently communicated with the *Moana* film crew via "Skype" from backstage, sometimes even without taking off his stage costume.
- One of the few Disney animated films in which every actor in the voice cast mimics the lip movements of their character. As a result, dialogue recording was completed only 4 months before the film's premiere. Usually, dialogue is recorded before the start of animation (or closer to the end of the film's production).
- The second film from Disney Studios after *Bolt* (Chris Williams and Byron Howard, 2008) to primarily use computer animation with small inclusions of traditional hand-drawn animation.
- The rooster Hei Hei and the pig Pua are modeled after the film's directors, John Musker and Ron Clements. Musker and Clements have a tradition, according to which all their films, starting with *The Little Mermaid* (1989), must include characters whose appearance is a caricature of their own. In previous films, characters modeled after them appeared only in episodic roles, but now they play supporting characters – Moana's loyal companions.
- Moana is the second Disney princess (after Merida from *Brave* (2012)) whose story is not based on a fairy tale or legend, and who also does not have a romantic storyline.
- The trailer, as well as the film itself, shows Maui transforming into a falcon. He possesses this ability in Maori myths.
- When Moana and Maui enter Tamatoa's cave, and Maui attempts to transform into a falcon during the fight with Tamatoa, he accidentally turns into various animals during the transformation attempts, one of which is Sven the reindeer from Disney's previous feature film, "Frozen".
- In the film's trailer, Maui claims he can slow down the sun's journey with a magical fishing hook and that he pulled land from the ocean depths. This is a plot from Maori legends about the origin of New Zealand. According to the legends, Maui pulled it out from under the water while fishing. He slowed down the sun's movement across the sky when he decided the days were too short. However, there are legends stating that Maui slowed down the sun by catching it in a fishing net.
- In the animated film "Zootopia" (Byron Howard, Rich Moore, and Jared Bush, 2016), a disc for the upcoming film "Moana" can be seen on a display of upcoming releases ("They haven't been released yet," says Duke Weaselton).
- Goofy's yell (one of the legendary samples used in cinema for decades) is heard when Maui jumps into the Realm of Monsters. Thus, "Moana" (2016) became the first Disney film created with computer animation to use Goofy's yell.
- The word “moana” means “ocean” or “sea” in Hawaiian and Maori. The same word is also used to denote the color blue.
- This is the first full-length computer-animated film by writers and directors John Musker and Ron Clements. Previously, this creative duo had only worked with traditional hand-drawn animation, namely: “The Great Mouse Detective” (1986), “The Little Mermaid” (1989), “Aladdin” (1992), “Hercules” (1997), “Treasure Planet” (2002), and “The Princess and the Frog” (2009).
- This is the second film directed by John Musker and Ron Clements after “The Little Mermaid” (1989) where the events unfold in the ocean.

- Moana is the second Disney princess (after Merida from Brave (2012)) whose story is not based on a fairy tale or legend, and who also does not have a romantic storyline.
- When Moana and Maui enter Tamatoa's cave, and Maui tries to transform into a falcon during the fight with Tamatoa, Maui accidentally turns into different animals during the attempts, one of which is Sven the reindeer from Disney's previous animated feature, Frozen.
- In the animated film Zootopia (Byron Howard, Rich Moore, and Jared Bush, 2016), on a display of discs ("They haven't been released yet," says Duke Weaselton), you can spot a disc for the future film Moana.
- Goofy's yell (one of the legendary samples used in cinema for decades) sounds when Maui jumps into the Realm of Monsters. Thus, Moana (2016) became the first Disney film created using computer animation to feature Goofy's yell.
