* Moana's Rotten Tomatoes score is sitting at 96%! In Clements and Musker's long and successful career at Disney, this still stands as by far their most critically-acclaimed picture. [[note]]And if the "Top Critics" button is pushed, the score goes ''up'' to 97%![[/note]] Looking at the box office numbers, it's displaced ''Aladdin'' as their top-grosser, at least when not adjusting for inflation.
* During [[https://youtu.be/fGegMN8GL_w her and Lin-Manuel Miranda's performance of "How Far I'll Go" at the 2017 Oscars]], Auli'I Cravalho is actually accidentally bumped on the head by one of the flag-holders behind her. Despite this, she continues singing without missing a beat, as though it never hit her, which is nothing short of impressive. Way to hold it together, Auli'I!
* This [[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/19/world/asia/maori-moana-new-zealand.html?mcubz=1 article]] talks about how an officially Disney-sanctioned Maori dub of the film managed to help a dying language thrive once again.
** The success of the dub has started talks of creating a Hawaiian version, with Auli'i Cravalho reprising her role.

* Te Fiti once her heart is restored. She simply touches the ground, and in a matter of seconds lush jungles, complete with fully grown trees, spring up. She then recreates Maui's fishhook and Moana's canoe almost casually, without any apparent signs of effort. You see ''exactly'' why the power of creation is spoken of so highly, and why everyone wants it.

** The best part? ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austronesian_peoples#Austronesian_expansion It actually happened]]'' (minus the singing-probably). At one point, people speaking Austronesian languages and possessing a neolithic level of technology sailed out of their homeland (probably Taiwan) with incredibly fragile boats and explored the Pacific and Indian Oceans, establing settlements as far south as New Zealand, as far east as Madagascar, as far west as Hawaii and Rapa Nui, and even possibly ''reaching South America and trading with the locals'' as pointed out by the spread of the sweet potato (an American plant) in Hawaii, Rapa Nui and Polynesia. And they did so without ever knowing writing, thus having to rely on memory and direct transmission to maintain the navigational knowledge that made facing the oceans possible.
