I think the simpler answer is that Te Fiti just mirrored the face of the person who brought back her heart. She's a nature goddess, I'd assume she can look like whatever she wants to look like since nature doesn't actually have a face

Alright my favorite theory is one I’ve kinda come up with myself. So basically Maui was abandoned by his family and cast into the sea right, so from that experience he gained abandonment issues and once he gained his Demi god status and began helping humans he did everything in his power to make them happy so that they wouldn’t leave him too. Though after stealing the heart and being cast onto an island all by himself he kinda changed. Both of those personalities (if you can call them that) weren’t all that good. He was so broken he bender over backwards for the humans and when he realized the humans wouldn’t and couldn’t help him when he needed it, he turned into a selfish guy for the most part. Now the ocean chose moana for a special mission: return the heart. It chose her after seeing the amount of kindness she extended to a baby turtle all while being a baby herself the ocean knew only she could complete the task. All thought she had to return the heart of life was to continue to exist that wasn’t all her mission was. She was sent out to help Maui right his wrong and change for the better, to realize his worth and that he didn’t need to do anything all that special for anybody. Pretty much teaching children that they didn’t have to go to the ends of the earth for someone if they couldn’t do the same while also teaching them that true friends help each other when they need it, both ways. That’s pretty much what I took from the movie.

Changing Te'ka required an act of kindness. The Ocean chose Moana because she was kind (she tried to save the turtle) and had the heart of a voyager. I like this better than Moana being a Chosen One by virtue of birth or peril versus who she was and what she chose to do.

I agree that Moana may have spent much of the movie in a state between life and death, but not quite crossing over. When Tafiti's heart was restored, she may have taken on the appearance of the girl who brought her back since that girl was now an important part of her. The tapestry we saw at the beginning of the movie had been made by Moana's family and they may have been using their grandmothers as a model for someone they never actually saw.

This is the best theory. Also Tefiti may have always looked that way and Moana looks like her instead of the other way around. Tefiti is the mother island, she created all of the islands, she loves and nurtures them. Moana is very much like her. She loves her island, her people, the animals, the sea, so she came out looking like Tefiti because she is very much like her in spirit.

Her spirit and character are also why she was chosen. She wasn't afraid of the sea.

The reason the Ocean couldn't restore Tafiti's heart was because she was lashing out at everyone and everything that approached her. The one who restored her heart first had to bring her back from madness. Moana was able to do that because of the journey she had gone on, not because of her DNA.

It would have been interesting to see what Moana's demi goddess gifts would be. It's always fun to hear about the different theories people come up with 😊!

I think Te Feti took the face of the person that saved her, just like Moana’s grandmother, who came back as a sting ray. Moana probably didn’t cross over, she was just at the border

"Do we even have to talk about when Tala (I think how pronounced) passed away she not only-" *CRYING VOICE* "Broke our hearts..." I feel you man, I feel you

It sounds interesting. I don't think she had to be a demigod to be as strong as she appeared in the movie I think she was getting that power from the stone heart itself. The ability to go to other worlds however I can one of these stories matching .

I believe that moana is the essence of another god but she could also be descended from te fiti

I think Moana is a reincarnation of Te Fiti. That’s why she’s the only one who can return “the heart”. Maybe she only dies because Te Fiti knows she will be the one to restore the heart and in that, healing Moana and herself so that she can transport her back to the world of the living.

could just be she is the same race when she was a human? (yes this is a another theory, about Te Fiti being a human.)

If the ocean did know that to complete her mission she’d have to die, and her grandmother was somewhat spiritual, here’s another add on idea: her grandmother knew she’d die. Her grandmother knew Moana would die too. So to continue to be with her granddaughter, she said “go” aka “go so you can be with me again” 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

He's literally called Maui demigod of the Wind and Sea I feel like Moana would be Moana demigod of the Earth and Sky or something like that

Maybe the heart blessed her to become a demigod. She only survived death and was revived as a demigod because she possesed the heart of Tafiti

Te Fiti looks like the people who worship her. You see that in many mythologies from around the world.

The heart of tafiti is the gift of life, grandma tala dies after she gives the heart to moana after seeming fine and not ill at all untill she lets go of the heart. Then moana survives so may things that should kill her but she always had the heart so the gift of live so its propbly more that the heart made who ever held it imortal...

I really like both of the theories that were just mentioned.

Woah! I had no idea about these theories! But that's pretty cool!

The ocean wave is the exact symbol on the heart of Te'Fiti. There is definite connection between the ocean and land. Is Te'Ka the volcano the same being as Te'Fiti the mountain and the only thing keeping one from turning into the other is the heart? Or...are they two different beings? Is it a commentary on how sometimes we are one way(happy, satisfied) until an issue arises and something is taken away, we become negative (unhappy, unsatisfied), until something is offered to fill that empty space we continue to be negative.... 🤔

i like the idea that moana was actually made by the heart itself. since it creates life her family having it effected them and she has inherited a small bit of her power? might explain the ocean responding to her and her alone too.

People take the movies way to serious but thank you for researching and the info.

WOW I LOVE this commentary! It seems that you don't get enough spiritual commentary on many movies 😃 YES, I agree with your suggestions! They opened my eyes to a whole new level of the movie. I mean I LOVED the movie from the beginning, and own a copy. But now I'm going to have to go and watch it again with this deeper perspective. I had an NDE experience back in 2011, well more it was I think the beginning of a death experience but I called on Jesus or the angels, that I had recently been learning more about to help me (and no, I'm not religious 😄)and they pulled me back and gave me the ability to see into my sub conscious. From there I learned that a guy I had started seeing and ghosted me, had been doing mind control and spell work behind my back, and I was very isolated in my life and kind of living between the worlds. I remember feeling at times that I was dead, tho I was still breathing and eating, but I rested and slept a lot (It was the time the Malevolent movie came out which had references too, and similar 'kind of dark' and not of the world of humans theme too). So, I have another theory that your comments awakened; and that is that Moana may be the inner child of the 'adult' Tefiti. And the inner child had to go into 'the underworld' or world of spirits to return the heart as she (Tefiti) wasn't capable of it. Similarly to where the young man tricks Malevolent with wine or potion (And Snow White - The poisoned apple, in The Huntsmen) and takes her wings from her so she cannot fly until she eventually retrieves them. Interesting to note that she also has a young female (Aurora) involved there too. Anyway, these are my thoughts. Let me know what you think!

You know I always just thought her symbol was waves because water is shown in many cultures as a symbol of life and death ,healing and destruction, and the ocean was apart of her giftset

That would mean the Hei Hei is a demi god as well. but I think that the dead Moana/demigod theories are totally wrong. I think Moana is alive and human.

This does make sense, but I agree with Allan as well. She could also just come back looking like the way she wants to, which is the way that she usually chooses to look and BAM! she just happens to look like Moana. I support what I said because Te Fiti looked the exact same way in Tala's story.

I also think a lot of it might just be the fact that’s it’s an animation, but it’s still fun to theorize.

It was about a young girl managing her emotions for the passing of her grandmother and how that was the heart of the island. She had learned and stepped into her leadership and matriarchal role.

They should have just used the original word, and explained what it meant because the "demigod" translation gives serious incorrect implications.

What if Moana’s father and uncle going beyond the reef and her uncle’s death and her father’s near death made Chief Tuī a demigod? And Moana being the child of a demigod and a human; also was born a demigod.

There’s a whole in your theory. If Moana is tefiti then who’s heart did she set out to return and why did she give it to herself 😌

This was probably her mission to find herself or something. Kinda like those movies that talk about the treasure not being a real thing but instead the real treasure is the friends you made along the way.

I always had the thought of Moana being a demigod as well. Just didn’t have the time and energy to look into it but this was basically my mindset when it came across my brains. I support the death-to-demigod theory.

She died , rose as a demigod and then granted the possibility of coming back as human to meet her earthly parents.

Oh Please… Moana was alive and well the whole time ❤️

8:27 in small island nations like what moana lives in, just about every single person born from the villiage is a relative of everyone else in the village. Especially if they have been isolated for hundreds of years. Hence; every single person on the island has a similar demigod blood status

wait I feel so old now. 2016!? I didn't realise, my how time flies by

moana dying would have been the last thing i thought of also how do we know this is true this isn't the only movie where somebody washes up on a shore or crashed into sea one example frozen now its not exactly the same but knowing the fact that she also had a big wave crashed upon makes me wonder did she look like moana because moana saved her like allan tidgwell said ''nature doesn't actually have a face'' intresting theory this video has but not very convincing or realistic. great video overall

Honestly I think it's more complicated than we all think. There are many theories that could be. It could be that Te fiti just resembled who saved her. It could be that the ocean chose moana because she looked like Te fiti . It could be that moana is the human form of Te fiti on land who was the only one capable to save her. It could be that Te fitis heart gave life and power and so when grandma passed it on to moana she died and moana got powers to give Te fitis heart back. It could be that moana died and became a Demi God and that was the only way to save Te fiti. It could be that the ocean chose her, killed her, turned her into a Demi God , and guided her to save Te fiti. It could be that the ocean picked the most curious person to save Te fiti because it couldn't do it. Frankly I believe all these things and non of these things at the same time. I do remember having a lot of questions after this movie but I never looked too deeply into them and I regret that. All if these things could be true. They could make up one theory intertwined and locked with each other. Or Disney might not have written it for us to understand and solve and break down like this. That's why I think it's either all or nothing. And I also think that this video carries a lot of propaganda because we are all allowed to have our own theories and opinions on this. Thanks for reading

When I was 8, we went (technically moved) to the cayman islands. And one day my parents went to this one spot where sting rays were really social. The locals were like saying how they will swim right up to you all at once and nearly knock you over. Usually timid. But not in every case. I don't remember where they said it was, and I didn't go. And glad I hadn't gone, coz that sounded terrifying to me. I was afraid they'd knock me over and I'd drown or get stung lol.

this movie really made me think of my primary bc in my contrye the legend of maui the demigod has been around since-who knows when! we know the story with maui and the sun, how he stole his grandmothers finger nails to give us fire and warmth, in nz we know a lot about that stuff, seeing him in a movie was so cool!

How could she interact with anyone else in the middle of the ocean?

We do know who Maui's parents are and we do know who Te Fiti's children are and there is so much more to the story and it makes me sad that he doesn't seem to have done any actual research since these are the stories I grew up with.

If he would actually do some research, he would actually understand the "demigod" is just a really bad translation, and that it in no way means that anyone is half god

Exactly right! Mother nature is always and ever changing...

Great theories!!!!

Maui tells moana his history. He was born of human parents then the gods saw him and gave him the hook, and made him a demigod. Hercules is called a demigod bc he lost his godhood and was human. Thus he was half and half. None of that means death to become one. They can be made.and the whole stingray theory from what I gather when the grandmother talks about it they choose a tattoo of what they want to become after death and she choose stingray. That seems to be from a culture belief. Not bc of whose line they were born from. One last thing, have there been any heroine that has gotten hurt in a disney film? No they weren’t, were they demigods? No they were the heros of the story. I do find the different theories intriguing though.

The ocean chose moana cause her ancestors were voyagers.. And maui said that the ocean and tefiti loved when her people were discovering islands. So the ocean chose her to be the one who helps maui restore the heart of tefiti in order to resume the voyager activities. Maybe she is a descendant of tefiti with demi-god status but for the reason why the ocean chose her i guess it would be more logical than the whole death theory

Or maybe, MAYBE, the animators were just to lazy to create a new face, so they just used Moanas. It's more simpler lol👍

I love ur conspiracy theories plz do more

I believe that in myth, moana is relieved to maui.

its clear to me that moana happens to be the mortal tefiti existing in the land of the living and it couldve been anybody else but since nobody resembled her more she became the chosen one moreover, her loyalty was tested by the ocean just to make sure that she really is the one. my theory can be proved easily due to the fact that it has been centuries since the heart was stolen so why now? its just a coincidence that she resembled te fiti and the perfect description of a fearless warrior just made it more convenient

This was so cool and such an amazing take on the movie absolutely love this video and can’t wait to show my fiancé who loves the movie as well

Olaf in that one corner: “Water has memory.. 😶”

I mean, you can’t really say that DNA runs through Te Fiti and Moana and that’s why Moana was able to restore her heart, because as we all know, Te Ka is Te Fiti and if Te Fiti knew that Moana was blood then that would mean Te Ka would know. So if Te Ka knew Moana was blood, why would she constantly attack Moana? Especially when she was going to the hill where she thought the spiral for the heart was

They don't look that similar, they're just polynesian. I'm hawaiian and a lot of us have similar features, but they don't look like twins.

the amount of high belting she has to do while rowing is truly a superhuman feat.

Wow very great! I think this could really work

Theory: Maui became a demigod when as a baby he was thrown into the ocean. Moana was chosen by the ocean when she drowned as a baby.
