If you’ve ever seen Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson serenading his daughter with his catchy tune from Moana, you know it’s enough to make anyone go “aww.” But beyond the adorable moments, Johnson’s portrayal of Maui—the initially selfish demigod who becomes an ally—shines as one of the highlights of Disney’s Moana. This 2016 animated film features a bold young girl who faces her fears to save her island and the world, all while delivering a powerful message without the cliché of a romantic hero. It’s refreshing to witness a Disney princess narrative that doesn’t revolve around finding true love! Plus, with Lin-Manuel Miranda crafting its infectious soundtrack, it’s no wonder Moana has captured hearts.
Whether you resonate with the mischievous nature of Maui, seek the glimmering charm of Tamatoa, or yearn for the adventurous spirit of Moana, we’ve gathered some of the film’s most memorable quotes just for you. You’re welcome!
