![]() ![]() For instance, his "I Am" Song is entitled "You're Welcome", and it's as fun and energetic as it is egotistical-which is helped by the fact that all of his deeds were supposedly not exaggerated. He may be an arrogant blowhard but he sure as heck is hilarious and entertaining. And the best part? It was all drawn on paper! No tradigital shots to speak of! ![]() Awesome Art: Everything about the hand-drawn animation in Maui's tattoos, which many people have thought almost steal the film.Moana's loss in the Best Song category left a lot of Puerto Ricans extremely bitter- after Hamilton's historic success in theater, people really wanted - no, expected Lin-Manuel Miranda to win, and thereby making him one of the few people who can brag about being an EGOT. ![]() Ultimately, Moana lost both Oscars to fellow Disney movie Zootopia and La La Land song "City of Stars" respectively. And only one song - "How Far I'll Go" - picked up a nom leaving out "You're Welcome" (while La La Land received two song nominations). Award Snub: While Moana got nominated for Best Animated Picture by the Oscars, the overall Score did not.Instead, it comes off as though Moana is just happy to see her after being away from home for so long. Angst? What Angst?: Moana is never shown mourning the loss of Gramma Tala as the film goes on, and even the appearance of Tala's ghost to give Moana a Heroic Second Wind fails to carry the weight of her actually coming back from the grave.Was Maui as selfish during his past exploits as he is during the events of the film, or did he develop it during the time he spent on the island? Things like tossing Moana overboard multiple times and attempting to strand her on a deserted island hardly seem very becoming of someone who was trying to be as heroic as possible for the humans.The quest itself ensures Moana will return to her people a hero whose new ideas wouldn't be rejected out of hand. Even so, the Ocean goes out of its way to bring her to him, then paralyzes him so he has no choice but to teach her how to sail. After all, there's nothing to suggest the Ocean couldn't give the Heart to Te Kā the same way it gave it to Moana and even if it did need Moana's help, Maui was only a distraction, who turned out not to be needed when Moana realized the truth. Given that Maui says the Ocean really likes when people voyage across it and The Reveal that returning the Heart of Te Fiti required neither defeating Te Kā nor venturing inland, the Ocean's motivations don't seem to be returning the heart and preventing the spread of darkness as much as it wanted to ensure a rebirth of the wayfinder traditions of Moana's people.Adorkable: Moana is an Action Girl, but she's definitely quite endearing due to how incredibly dorky and goofy she can get.Tamatoa: You don't swing it like you used to, man! ![]()
